• i took off of work last thursday and friday, so today is the first day that i've been back to work in 4 days. it was lovely. i desparately needed these days away from work. my weekends are always so busy and it rarely seems like i have the appropriate amount of time to re-coop. i came back to work today a little more clear-headed and less stressed out that i usually do.
• thursday i had a doctor's appointment and then i went and VOTED!! Obama for president. seriously people, you need to vote tomorrow. i'm already registered and whatnot, so i just voted absentee-in-person at city hall. i can't even articulate how necessary it is that people vote, preferably for barack obama, but whatever your political opinion is, vote.
• friday i laid around the house all day and then we got dressed up for halloween. matt was going to go as waldo but was having problems with his costume, so he decided to go as gilligan which was equally as cute. we took a cab down to dixie and tom's house and they were having a party as usual. my favorite costume of the evening was the morton salt girl. i was happy with how mine turned out. i didn't take many pictures, but i'm sure i'll run into some along the way that i can post soon from my friend's flickr site.
• matt and i had saturday off and we literally did nothing but go to the grocery store to pick up stuff for dinner, we went to blockbuster to pick up a movie and the ice cream shop by our apartment had my favorite ice cream, so we stopped there for a pint. other than that, we napped on the couch and just hung out, all day. we haven't been able to do that in FOREVER.
• yesterday was just your standard errand-running day. nothing exciting to report.

all in all, this weekend was full of lounging, partying and errand running...mostly lounging around though. i really needed these few days off...i feel like my head's on a little straighter than it was at the end of last week.  

the early part of the weekend amounts to nothing spectacular...no exciting engagements, just me and my swiffer.

tonight and tomorrow afternoon i'm committing myself to cleaning. i want the apartment to be in the best shape possible when matt comes home on sunday afternoon, not that it's normally a dump or anything, but the home-sick-ness in his voice last night was sad and i want everything to be perfect when he comes home. i'm also making an over the top beef stroganoff (it's his favorite).

he sounded so unhappy and i think the thrill of playing in gross dingy punk rock bars and sleeping on random people's floors has worn off. the place they played last night in DC was apparently full of roaches and so was the place where they were going to sleep, so matt was planning on sleeping in the van. i want him home, sleeping in our bed.

as soon as he comes home, my blog posts will revert back to being about more than matt. it's just all i have on my mind right now and i can't really process things unrelated to preparing the house for when he comes home and the fact that i miss him terribly.

anyway, back to my lackluster weekend: my newly single best friend is starved for male attention and i hate watching it. it's not like she's sleeping around or anything, but she leads them all on...every one of them. they don't have a chance and she knows it from day one. she just likes the attention. a few of them are really nice though and i don't want to see them get hurt, they don't deserve it. you're probably wondering what this has to do with anything...on saturday night i'm supposed to go out with her, along with a few friends and the most recent poor sap that she has in her claws. i'm not that excited.

i must me a damned good wingman...or wingperson or whatever.
