‘Twas a very good weekend, so carefree and full of snuggles, the type of weekend that makes your heart deflate a little the moment the sun starts to fade on Sunday evening. No, no, no, weekend, please don’t go, I’m not through with you yet. Stay awhile. I’ll pour you some tea, or how about some scotch? (Psss … someone, run out and get me some scotch.) But alas, it vanishes into the night, leaving us its evil replacement: Monday. Shiver. ‘Til next time, I suppose. Here are some snippets.

- Went shopping. Found this:

$29.80 at Forever 21. You could just kiss me, I know. Sometimes I think that if I wear warm clothes, the god of weather will take a look at my wardrobe and think, “Oh yeah! It’s fall! Thank you for reminding me!” and tweak the temperature accordingly. This never works, of course, and I’m often left annoyed and sweaty.

- Went to a potluck. Made my famous guacamole (okay, okay, I used the premade mix from the grocery store BUT added a ton of other good stuff — delish!) and these little heart attacks:

Some were a little burnt, as you can tell, but who cares? They were wrapped in bacon! The potluck was so much fun. We ate deliciousness, played beer pong (I was benched after missing the table repeatedly), sang karaoke and watched some girl-on-girl MMA action (disgusting, but surprisingly entertaining). Went home tired and happy.

- Went to Borders. Had every intention of checking out all your great recommendations, but was lured by the bargain table and ended up picking up The Orchid Thief by Susan Orlean (always wanted to read it, but never got to it) and Bad Monkeys by Matt Ruff (never heard of it, but seemed enticing). Also hung out in the kid’s section and fell in love with The Gift of Nothing by Patrick McDonnell. I shoved it in Matt’s face, telling him he had to read this book RIGHT THIS SECOND, then watched him intently as he flipped through the pages. “What did you think? So special, huh? Do you feel all warm and fuzzy?” I asked. “Eh,” he replied. I then went on to question my choice of boyfriends.

- Saw Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist after some rave reviews. It was not so good. I can’t stand puke (or verge of puking) scenes and there were plenty of those. I did, however, like Kat Dennings’ lipstick.

- Went to a wine tasting event. Classy.

- Ate pho twice.

- Straightened up my room. Still doesn’t feel clean.

- Ran a little.

- Re-hydrated.

- Hugged a lot.

‘Tis all. Goodbye weekend. I love you.
