The Best Weekend

I just had the best weekend I've had in awhile. My beautiful friends get the credit! First, on Friday evening P. sent me a message asking if he could get last minute box seats to CSN, would I drive up to the Woodlands? "Does Suite Judy have blue eyes???" I sent back. Hell yeah! I raced home, changed clothes, and got my ass up there toot suite! We dropped my car off and went to the Pavilion in the Mercedes and got VIP parking, VIP entrance, VIP wristbands, and relaxed and drank and ate in the VIP lounge/restaurant/bar. I had a frozen Peach Bellini. CSN opened with an acoustic set and our seats were great. Not up against the stage but still great and they were private box seats so very comfortable. The harmonies! Stephen Stills! A wonderful Houston summer night! After the concert P. and I went back to the VIP bar and had more drinks and just hung out and talked. I got home after midnight!

So much for doing that online class on Saturday since I had to sleep in and then rush to pick up li'l bro for The Open Road movie event in the late morning. It was filmed much in Houston--I hadn't realized that. Even several scenes at Li'l Bro's place of employement, St. Luke's hospital. The movie was ok. The director/writer and a producer were there and they did Q&A which is always cool!

Then Li'l bro came home with me and moved S's stuff as far away from me in the house for the time being. After dropping him back off, I began my online class but was interrupted by R. coming over with chocolate coffee cake and for a viewing of the latest Project Runway! (Hey, I know where my priorities lie.) Then it was time to get ready to go to the AV Swap, where I got to see the short video starring R. as a trashy assassin and me and Mudflap as cops. It was mucho fun and quite hilarious!

Finally, time to rush home to meet L., who was in town from Austin and who was going to be staying with me and also game enough to join me on all my late Saturday night adventures! First we went to the opening of the Bamboo Lounge where we danced for 4 songs, then split to see Rozz's band playing at Dan's. We got home after 3am--always the sign of an awesome Saturday night!

Slept 'til 12:30pm yesterday and was finally resigned to finish that damn online class and realized a patrol shift would be totally out of the question. However--a late afternoon break with Li'l bro to go see The Hurt Locker was imperative! HOLY CRAP was it good. Scorsese-esque in its horror and beauty! I demand that Katheryn Bigelow be the first female director to get the Oscar!!!

Last night L. made a beautiful shrimp salad for dinner for us and I even ate a lot of it. I've lost almost 10 lbs. in the past 2 weeks though. Normally I would not mind that but I am worried it is mostly muscle, dammit. I finally finished the online class after midnight, so I will get to keep my peace officer license, yay! Tonight is the monthly sheriff Reserve meeting where unfortunately I may have to be in the same room with S. As long as he leaves me the fuck alone then I'll be more than happy to do the same.
