bad then good then bad

my weekend was great! as long as i put on blinders and ignore the annoying stuff :)

friday - as always, didn't do much of anything . . . i forgot my cell phone at home friday morning so i usually call edgar when i leave work, but i didn't because 1. i didn't have the phone and 2. when i got home, it was 6ish and i knew he'd be at work. at like 8:30 i got a call from him and he was like you're still there?! i think its cute that it worried him enough that i didn't call - even though there are a ton of potential explanation - that he took a break at work to check in on me :)

saturday - oil change, hanging out, and i managed to watch all three of my netflix movies (including i heart huckabees - which i really liked!) then, after edgar got out of work, we were supposed to go to my lake house. edgar's car is a piece of crap. its 10 years old with a bunch of miles and his whole plan with it right now was to drive it until it dies. he did - potentially prematurely because the oil light had been coming on a lot lately (which i would point at and go isn't that bad?) and he continually put off adding oil. anyway, i get a call to say he's leaving work. then, like 10 minutes later i get another call - his car died on the highway. so, i went and picked him up. we went to my apartment and he found a tow company to pick it up and hold it at there lot until he could deal with it today. (that is the first bad)

then, we got to my lake house. there was tons of snow, but luckily someone (i guess the neighbor) had snow blown a path from the road to the door. so, we got in - i set of the alarm but i knew the pass code so it was ok. we played a game of ping pong and went to bed (although that sounds lame - keep in mind, we didn't arrive at the house until 1:30am)

sunday morning, we woke up with tons of sunshine coming through the window. we got up and ate some cereal for breakfast (i had brought some food so we wouldn't have to leave to eat) and we spent the rest of the day playing darts, ping pong, cards, napping, and christening couches :) it was AWESOME! we don't get a whole lotta "down" time any more - since we can't be in the apartment if jess is there, its hard to schedule decent chunks of relax and have sex moments. this day was def needed. then, when it was getting close to time to leave, i was like ooh . . . i wish we could just stay here another night . . . he was like why don't we? its about an hour and a half from rochester - so it would be leaving really early in the morning to get me to work today so i pointed that out, he was like i don't care. i had also promised jess i would read and edit a personal essay for nursing school that she needs for tomorrow (her life plans got screwed up last week, so now she's rushing to finish an application to a school she didn't think she would be going to) that moment is the second bad. he got in a mood that i could get him out of. we packed up and cleaned up and drove home after that - basically in silence. he wasn't mad at me and agreed that it didn't spoil the good parts of the day but . . .

then i went home, watched the oscars - jess wasn't ready for me to read the essay because she had done two doubles in a row and hadn't had time but if i dwell on that too long - i'll just get all upset. so . . . i basically won't see edgar until we leave on thursday for boston. jess leaves thursday morning for colorado. why are relationships so stressful??

and anusha - i don't know how you do it, but you better cut satyan off quick!
