Fantastical Weekend



As 'crazy time' in my life creeps closer and closer I was really looking forward to the last two weekends. Needless to say, if you read the title of this entry, they did not disappoint. Last weekend (Feb 22-24) was the best weekend I've had in a while. Friday night was host to the 9x10 Multiple Book Launch at BU. My bookworks project that I did in my first term Artworks class was showcased, with a few other projects from the class, along side the novels, plays, poetry, and comined works of some of the professors. It was a semi-swanky event with wine and cheese and sushi and I had a really great time getting my academics on! On Saturday, mom and I went for mini facials (part of a promotional spa package I got Mom for Christmas) in the afternoon and to see BU's production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. The performance was fabulous, just as I expected it would be and fits quite nicely into my life right now since I am currently studying Shakespeare. Sunday, February 24th, 2008 can now also be known as the day I made my modelling debut...not in the full sense of the word of course, but model none-the-less. I wore five wedding and two bridesmaid dresses in a wedding show being held in Brandon. It was soooo much fun! I plan to be one of their regular volunteers and so should make my second appearance in October. Runway here I come...again!

This weekend...which is now coming to an end was not quite so eventful, but still more fun than my usual 'sit at home and read all day weekends'. Mom and I went to Belmont Friday night for my cousin Leslie's 40th (and 10th..he he) birthday party. She is a leap year baby making her even more special than she already is and I am really glad that we were a part of her celebration. Following the party, Mom and I resisted the urge to order pizza at 12:30 a.m. and went to bed with visions of our manicures in mind. So, obviously, we got manicures (mini ones-again part of the promo spa pack) Saturday afternoon. For supper we gave in to the previous day's urge to order pizza, did a little shopping, and then went to the theater to see Step Up 2! We actually planned to see No Country for Old Men, but ended up arriving at the theater a little behind schedule. Step Up 2 was definitely worth it though and I guess No Country for Old Men will have to be the movie of choice another time. We finished the night by watching Hairspray and American Gangster on video and finally getting to sleep in the wee hours of this morning. In conclusion, as I sit and write this blog, Mom is on her way home and I am procrastinating (one of my best talents) writing my Detailed Analysis of a Short Text for my Women Writers I class. So, after two really great weekends...the work must begin. Here goes!
