How Did My Weekend Really Go?

Ok, I admit it. I was feeling pretty down about things right before the weekend. I didn't have any plans or anything to do, and definitely nobody to do it with. Then there was Singles Awareness Day around the corner, and that just put a magnifying glass and spotlight on my singularity. But to be sure my weekend didn't turn out at all bad.

Friday did kinda suck. Instead of staying home and doing something useful (well, useless really), I worked extra hours at the office. Didn't make much progress though.

Saturday wasn't at all bad. I slept in late. Not ultra late, but breakfast was lunch. I bummed around the house until the Pampered Chef party. It turns out I had nothing to worry about considering H and J. They've both been going through their own trials and tribulations, and they have been quite properly become hermits for a little while. The PC show was excellent. There were a lot of gadgets. Some were more useful than others, and, of course, they were all expensive. I'll buy a few of the more exotic things.

Sunday I stayed away from home most of the day. I went to church. It was mediocre. Although, I must say, it amuses me to sing "Edelweiss" at the end of each service. Apparently thirty-ish years ago someone got the bright idea to change the lyrics to a church benediction song. I guess that's ok, but as everyone else is singing the Benediction, I'm belting out an "Edelweiss" that would be the envy of Captain von Trapp.

After the service I caught lunch with Yizong and did some shopping. I wanted some intel on TCC, and Yizong provided what I needed. We are both exploring this new church, and we share some of the same observations. We both agree that my meeting with Lynn will be interesting. After lunch I did some looking for books. I added to my batterie de cuisine. I found a nice sauce pan at Ross that I couldn't live without. At Half Price Books I found another Julia Child cookbook I couldn't live without: Julia Child & Company. I went to the Texas Thrift Store to see if they had any usable cookware. Nada. I bought a book for 40 cents and paid with a debit card (I don't carry cash). Big Lots had nothing I wanted or needed. I went back up to Target. They had a 6 quart french oven I looked at. I've been on the fence about those for some time. I ended up at Walmart also looking for french ovens, and after today, I know which one I'm buying.

I finally ended up back at TCC for their pre-VD dinner. Yizong has been talking up my guns with the youth. Somehow I just went up several notches in their estimation. The food was decent, and the conversation bearable. I ejected before the concert part of the evening to do some laundry.

I didn't feel as alone as I could have. Friday I did. Saturday I didn't so much, except to say that Monica did come up in conversation. Today I didn't have time to feel lonely because I was busy. I don't know. How did my weekend turn out?
