Who did good things this weekend that they can post about to get peoples' minds off of Katrina (and, um, allow me to keep slacking)?

I rolled out of bed Saturday morning and drove to the beach. The clouds did not cooperate, so we ended up packing our towels in and going to a bar that is also a boat. I drank several Fuzzy Alligators. The sun came out and now parts of my body are hot pink.

We checked into the hotel, drank some more, listened to CDs, climbed into the jacuzzi, drank, got our sparkly clothes on, and then went to dinner. After dinner, we strolled over to another bar, which was nearly deserted that early, and drank some more. We drank and talked and drank, and then it got dark and people appeared! A band appeared! We drank more! And danced! Danced a lot! And drank more!

And then we went back to the hotel and slept for a very long time. The end.

I shopped and installed a new light fixture in my hall. and lounged and movied and ate with friends.

I cut knots out of my daughter's yard-long hair three nights running. Fun was NOT had.

There was also the Palo Alto Art Fair, though.

I sold stuff! yay

I bought only a little stuff! yay!

I palyed with my sister's puppies ! Yay!

I went to a prarty! yay!

I had yummy food ! yay!

I worked a shift. that was only ok.

I didin't sleep enough! boo!

I lounged in a crystal clear pool while staring at the ocean with a fresh, blended mai tai in my hands that had been brought to me by a very hot pool boy.

I spent all Saturday at a spa (which involved a body scrub & moisturizing treatment, which was damn near a religious experience), followed by having fabulous Southern food at a tiny, hole-in-the-wall place.

I played with my good friends' two year old and ate really good pizza on Saturday.

Spent Sunday afternoon on the patio of my favorite watering hole, eating brunch and drinking $10 all you can drink mimosas.

They took the urinal out of the men's bathroom with no indication of when they're going to replace it.

One of the annoyances of this university is their method of fixing things.

1. Identify old/broken fixture. 2. Wait 2-10 years. 3. Remove old/broken fixture. 4. Wait 2-10 years. 5. Replace fixture. 6. Fixture breaks. 7. Wait 2-10 years. 8. Go to #1.

Sigh.

DUDE. I want that. Within walking distance of my home.
