Weekends To Be Proud Of

Nah, not really. My weekends are easily forgotten for the most part. Unless I travel, but of late even travelling does not prove memorable just because I go to the same old places all the time. At least I make it out of the house right?

I bought Raving Rabbids TV Party a couple weekends ago and that did prove for some interesting party time. When you get 4 uncoordinated adults together for a party game there's always a laugh to be had, especially when alcohol is involved.

Speaking of alcohol, I found Hypnotic for $24.99 at Savemart last night. One bottle of that junk is normally $35, this was a Christmas pack with 2 very cute glasses. I was overjoyed!

'Tis the season to begin shopping for gifts for various members of family and friends. Luckily I don't see too many of my friends this time of year so I get to save money on their gifts. I do have to buy for my boyfriend's (who shall now be referred to as Wino) family, but we're splitting the cost of many things. Wino and I have already swapped gifts (thanks to NaNoWriMo, I wanted a NetBook and got one as an early gift).

This weekend will be just as unmemorable...we will get together tonight for some form of yummy food (I've been hearing murmerings of Indian...mmm), we'll come back try to figure out what to do...Wino and gang will hit the wine, I'll try to get everyone on board for a rousing game of something-or-other, then we'll settle down to watch SNL, of which Wino will be the only one left awake. Ah...Saturday nights!

Leftovers

Amazingly this year, after my three Thanksgiving festivities, I was left with no leftovers sent home with me. I am personally overjoyed by this fact, because, while I love me some turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing and pumpkin pie, I hate hauling home the leftovers. They always end up so dry and tasteless the next few days. It's almost as though Thanksgiving gives these normally dry, bland foods some magical moist and yummy quality. Go figure.

Foggy season is upon us apparently. This is my first year commuting 100+ miles a day and this will determine whether I move up north to avoid the weather. I'm hoping not, I am happy where I am, and I certainly don't want to figure out how to have a long distance relationship. Tonight when I came home the fog was blissfully absent, however there was the weird mist that descended upon the valley that was enough to keep my windshield wipers going the whole drive. Hopefully it wont get much worse than this in the months to follow, I don't really want to live out of a hotel.
