My little weekend recap

AHA March - 7

I spent a lot of my weekend hanging around with my friend Sarah. On Friday, she slept over and we watched the movie Seven.... or Se7en. However you'd like to call it. I thought it would be a little bit scarier, but it was still pretty good. Saturday morning, Sarah slept in while I woke up at the crack of dawn. She missed a few things, like my grandpa coming to visit and my mother ripping the door off the oven by trying to move it.

After Sarah finally woke up at about noon, we walked a few blocks to a point where her directionally-challenged mother could find us and pick us up. We went to her house, hung out there for a little bit, and then headed over to the Galleria Mall to go pick up job applications from like thirty stores and fill them all out over the next four hours. It was pretty fun. But extremely boring at the same time.

After all of that job huntingness, we went back to Sarah's house and watched TV for a bit. Sarah's mom told me that I could sleep over, but I decided that I better head on home. It didn't even occur to me until my father had picked me up and driven me home that I had a previous engagement planned for 8:30 the next morning.

I had told the Art Historians Association that I would photograph them for some sort of press release that they wanted to do concerning an art walk they were organizing. I was a bit annoyed at myself for not remembering until 11:30 at night and I decided that it would probably be a good idea to get to bed.

In the morning, I woke up, get dressed, all that stuff, and my mother and I went over to Buffalo State College to meet the gang of art historians / students that I would be photographing. We spent about twenty minutes or so taking pictures, I got invited to this pot-luck dinner they were planning, and my mother and I left and went for a walk in Delaware Park. I hate waking up early, but I really, really love the morning. I felt so accomplished by only noon today!

Later that night, one of the AHA members, Heather, picked me up and we went over to the little pot-luck-meeting-get-together-doodad. It turned out that she was bringing the exact same thing I was bringing to the pot-luck. Bread from Wegman's. The same exact type of bread no less. The only difference was that I was bringing homemade butter, too. When we got to the little event, we found that basically everybody else brought bread, too. Dr. Atkins would not be happy.

I know exactly what you mean about getting up early; I am naturally a night owl, so it's really hard for me to get up early in the morning. But I actually love the early morning, and my day always goes better when I get up early. Go figure.

I've been reading your blog for awhile and I really love your pictures. how do you make your slideshows with flickr open up in a pop-up and with a black background? Whenever I link to a flickr slideshow of mine it's always a full window with the regular flickr stuff and white background. hmmm don't know how much of that made sense. but i really like your blog! totally agree w/ you about loving morning but hate waking up early.

I just noticed something. You don't have a driver's license. You would think that you would have completed that mandatory right of passage by now (it will be very blog-worthy when it happens). Can't wait to hear about "Max and parallel parking" When will you grace us with your driving prowess?
