So it’s Sunday night and I have to go to work tomorrow and I’m bummed because my weekends seem like they’re getting shorter and shorter … and I have so much to get done this week at work. So again I’ll stay up as late as possible to try to squeeze out the last few minutes of my freedom and postpone my dreaded alarm clock going off, telling me to get my ass out of bed and go to work, blah!!! Anyways … my weekend ended a lot better than it began! Come on, STEELERS won the Superbowl and I’m right here in the middle of all this craziness. So anyways, I’ll recap this wonderous weekend I’ve had.
So I left work early on Thursday to get some things done, really I just needed to drag tons of laundry to the laundromat and it is quite time consuming. I took advantage of my afternoon off to do my taxes and found out I’m getting $280 back, and once approved by the IRS, I’ll be getting it in about two weeks. If I was a broke college student I would be like ‘woooo’ but it isn’t really that impressive. It’ll buy my camera that I have been feeling too guilty to buy, so I’m happy about that.
On Friday, I headed out to FC with Julie, Kim, and Nate to go to our great-grandmother’s funeral viewing. I stayed the night in FC and went to the funeral on Saturday. It was a quick nice service, and I managed to get through it …. I had to hang out with my grandma most of the night at the viewing, who seemed to know everyone who came to the funeral and of course introduced me to everyone who all said ‘oh you’re Jessica, I’ve heard so much about you!’ My own mother did not introduce me to anyone as her daughter. I think my grandmother wants to be my mom though. Afterall, I am one of her only two grandchildren, my brother being the other … and she often brags that she could be my mother since she was only 39 when I was born. And in a way, she is like a mother to me because she understands me in a way my mother doesn’t and we are very close. I’m not saying I want two moms, trust me … my mom is plenty enough mom for me.
On Saturday I got back to Pittsburgh and spent most of my afternoon feeling pretty nervous about my date for the evening with a very cute and sweet boy who I met. I don’t want to jinx myself by bragging about it for the next ten paragraphs, but it was good. We went to Fuel and Fuddle, watched a movie, and had an amazing time. So that is all I will say …. for now. 🙂
Today I slept in late, and it was wonderful. I had a pretty nasty headache for most of the day, but I managed to kick its butt with massive amounts of Tylenol by the middle of the Superbowl. I didn’t go out and do crazy things in Superbowl celebration style because I guess I’m not that cool, but hey – we won!!! Woooo!!! And being right here in the middle of Oakland was just completely insane. There were herds of people just running down the middle of the streets screaming at the tops of their lungs, I’ve never seen anything like it. It was just absolutely crazy!!!!!
And to celebrate the Steelers winning the superbowl … well I decided it was ok to buy my camera. I just couldn’t wait. I’ve been salivating over it for like two months. And my current camera is officially broken. I’m really going through picture taking withdrawal. Even if I have nobody to take pictures of, I don’t care.
