A Delightfully Lazy Weekend

Amazingly, it has almost been five months since I made my big move up here to NYC. Time has passed so quickly, I've had close to no downtime at all. That's why this weekend was so welcomed. It seems like every weekend someone is in town to visit which obligates me to show them around and spend extra money on a nice dinner and walk the streets until our feet turn blue. Finally, this weekend was just about me.

After work on Friday I got to hang out with Kari for a few hours enjoying my favorite leisure activity, sitting in Starbucks and drinking coffee. We both slouched down in our seats and talked about all of the weirdo NYU students hanging out with their professors on the weekend. A crime I never committed. Saturday, I slept until I could sleep no more. Then, for the first time since mid-December, Collin and I went to the grocery store. Notably, we've both lost a combined 13 pounds since our last trip when we bought egg-nog for the holidays. But don't worry, that was gained back at the Super Bowl. After the grocery store, I went to a 'birthday party' on the Upper West Side. The details are strage but I'll just say that we were the youngest people there by about twenty years. Sunday, more sleep. Around four o'clock I began cooking for our party we had. Around fifteen people showed up for the free food and beverages, but mostly to see our enormous TV Collin 'rented' for the weekend. He bought a 42 inch plasma to watch the game on and plans to take it back this week for a full refund.

Next weekend I plan to do even less. I receive such satisfaction from wearing my pajamas until the sun goes down. I almost wish I could spend one entire day of each weekend in my apartment, but that qualifies as a misdemeanor when you live in New York.
