pretty much why i'm here

this weekend was as close to perfect as i have seen since i got back to vermont. the weather was warm. the rain came a little, but mostly the sun was out. friday was allison's birthday. we got to have a fabulous dinner at a little place called Panasian! we ate good food, drank an adult beverage, ate cakes and watched allison open presents and we got to sing. she had almost sold me on going to see that creepy liv tyler movie, the strangers. i think i would have been sleepless for weeks had i seen that movie, especially at the late show like she was hoping for. but at the last minute we invited the whole gang over for some late night rock band action. it was nice to have jeremy wailing away on the drums and allison singing her siren songs (or playing the bass) while rob played guitar. dust and i switched off with everyone, too. so we got a little rb action in, too. it just felt so comfortable and "right" to have that crew over till the wee hours playing a silly video game. i just hope we did not mess up allison's dream of having us all so scared we couldn't walk to our cars from the theaters. :) it was good for me.
saturday night i got a group of my girls to not only dress up and go out for cosmos, but also go watch sex and the city, the movie. it was probably the best movie i have ever seen, and i can't wait to go back and see it again with the ladies who couldn't go the first time around. it was great. i won't give any details away, in case you are going to see it. but it was just so fun to watch.
today was the putney school's graduation. the putney school is for super rich kids (it is a private boarding school). so most of the kids really have a lot of money. they are supposed to be out of the dorm after graduation so anything left over creates quite a "free for all" for the staff and their chosen friends (me). i got so many good finds and all for free. so if you need anything, come on over. i got some stuff for you. it was nice to get to see hilary and tim. i have not really seen either of them in a while. both are undergoing major life changes very soon (like the rest of us). so that is good for them. but that hilary is a little scared. so it was nice to see her in her element, you know. so i finished the dorm raiding frenzy by coming home to do chemistry. exciting, i know. but i gotta get it done. this section was on carbohydrates and how your body uses them. i learned an interesting fact. here it goes: the only scientifically proven negative effect of sucrose (table sugar) is tooth decay. so all y'all getting upset about my high sugar/ high carb diet, step back. tooth decay? eating too much sugar over the course of a lifetime has not been proven to cause diabetes (my biggest fear) because the sugar is broken down and leaves your body. so i may just make it on this all carb diet. :) also, i made another one hundred on the quiz. boo yah. best weekend ever.

Scorpion Bowls, rocking out, cosmos and free stuff = perfection. Thank you for the night party - I've got the sickness again and need another dose soon. I promise to learn the dead on arrival drums by next time so I don't fail everyone so spectacularly. For shame.
