catching up

i had a marvelous weekend. nana offered to take the gaffer for the entire weekend, and rockstar hubby was working nights, so i had two evenings all to myself. friday night i stayed too busy. i went for a walk, cleaned, went to the cool bookstore to hang out, but when i got there i felt...uncomfortable, so i left. strange. stayed up late, then fell asleep. waited for rockstar hubby to come home and we had ourselves a day date. we went for a quick brekkie, then to the art museum where ron hueck had an exhibit. it was...weird. when you first walk in there is a huge, and i mean massive baby's head, about 10' high. very very detailed. very perfect. and some other figures of strange sizes, but perfectly proportioned. it was very cool but very disturbing. he had a gigantic newborn, naked and bloody on a large table, and i just felt like puking. (and i've given birth...) then i came home and my lovely friend Zee came over. she battled the storms of snow just to visit my new home. what a girl. she told me wonderful things, and that she's going to africa to live with her hubby for a year and a half. and while i'm very happy about that, because i haven't seen her this happy in a long time, i'm sad because i'll miss her like crazy. she is the ultimate friend. you know when you need to vent, or to cry or to tell someone something that appalled you? she makes all the appropriate noises, picks up on how you feel and echoes it. she doesn't become all 'miss-fix-it' or tell you everything is fine, she just listens and sympathizes and empathizes. she is the ultimate friend. i can tell her the most ridiculous thing that upset me, and she'll let me be upset so i can vent. what a girl. she'd make the perfect Christian....:)

worked out this morning, having guests for dinner, looking forward to nappy nap this afternoon...sleep is lovely.
