I'm Just Sitting Here Watching the Wheels Go Round and Round...

I had a really fantastic weekend and I wanted to capture it here so I don't forget the feelings it invoked, that way instead of the memory fading away I can keep it snuggled up to me in my thoughts. I enjoy scrapbooking for the same reason. I like to keep comforts from the past and dreams and hopes for my future nestled around me like a time-traveling hug.

Friday when Matt got home from work, I surprised him with a Texas-sized chocolate AND glazed donut I picked up from Round Rock Donuts. This donut was bigger than his head! He enjoyed the treat, which of course I helped him eat over the next two days. Later that night after his improv show, Matt took me to Jasper's and I relished a triple chocolate martini and his company.

Saturday brought crisp weather and a lovely blue sky and light breeze so Matt and I took to the backyard and played board games on the covered patio for hours. We acted silly, relaxed, and just played. Then we caught a quick trip to the gym for a workout, ate dinner, and cleaned up before heading downtown for my second improv performance with the troupe Continental Breakfast. I was nervous but did okay, better than the previous week, and Sarah came to watch me.

Then Sunday morning, Sarah and I breakfasted together and afterwards I played computer games with Matt. He played something on his computer involving attacking each other's land and I started a fresh game of The Sims 2, which I have barely ever played. It was very satisfying to surrender my time to a ridiculous computer game. :) Then Matt and I played video games together, rocked out on Guitar Hero (he played guitar and I sang!) and played Spades and Casino card games. We polished off our evening at an Ethiopian restaurant. It was his second experience with the cuisine and my first. We got to eat with our hands, save for the spongy paper we wrapped around food. It was pretty good, but heavy and we were immobilized for the rest of our evening.
