There’s nothing like a three-day weekend, and this one seemed to stretch on beautifully, wonderfully, forever. Long enough that I hardly remember what I did on Friday night — oh! X-Men 3. Which was entertaining enough.
Saturday was the 5K, followed by a lazy afternoon and capped with dinner at Nick’s apartment. His mom was in town and cooked, and I can never turn down her authentic Mediterranean cooking! Garlic chicken, tabouleh, mujudhra, lamb, hummus. SO YUMMY.
Sunday and Monday were made for sleeping late. Both days, I didn’t even have lunch until 2:00-3:00, and enjoyed the lazy morning with coffee, reading, and TV. Jose, Becca and I saw Da Vinci Code on Sunday afternoon, and it, like X-Men, was entertaining enough. The book was better. (Duh.) There were far too many little details in the book to ever do a thorough job with the movie, so everything on screen just felt rushed.
I spent the rest of the weekend spending money (hooray for sales, I got a new shirt at Kohl’s for $3.60! $3.60!), browsing the bookstore, and reading. All in all, it was fantastic.
Exercise plans for the week are a bit up in the air, since I’m flying to LA tomorrow evening for two days of meetings at JPL. But I plan to run 3 miles tonight, and maybe do a 5K in the Pasadena (Cali, not Texas) area on Saturday morning.
