my long holiday weekend was exhausting. it’s hard work having beers and barbeques and parties almost every day for five days straight. going to work was almost a welcome break if i didn’t have to get up at 7 to leave — that was a bit harsh.

i think i went for the circuit as far as party variety too. friday night mike and dom rolled in for the ‘late night beers and laughing with a small group of friends’ at my place. saturday we went the ‘afternoon beers, world cup, and video games’ route, then that night i threw my first and fully successful surprise birthday party for jessica at my place for the ‘big party with tons of people and drinks and loud music and dancing’ card (she was super excited, almost cried, and gave the definitive ‘best birthday ever’ afterward…one million boyfriend points awarded).

sunday was a day of rest sans drinks but with movie night (nacho libre was funny but so weird and that’s saying something coming from me), but we capped it off royally by hitting both the ‘pool party and barbeque’ as well as ‘rooftop barbeque with beer pong and fireworks display’ bases monday and tuesday respectively. dang, i’m exhausted just thinking about it and have been drinking water ever since to refresh this wearied body of mine.

i’m sure i’ll be able to catch up and relax with two concert nights in a row followed by a party this weekend; or maybe the weekend after while i’m in vegas… [deep breath]
