Three Days Long

FRIDAY: The start to the fabulous 3 day weekend! There is no feeling like when the clock hits 5PM on a Friday of a long weekend. Basically I ran out of work in pure excitement and raced home. I asked Dustin if he wanted to grab some froyo but he suggested Jeremiah's instead. So we were out the door and before we knew it - stuffing our faces with a nice cold treat.

SATURDAY: I woke up at the crack of fucking dawn. Seriously - 6AM! I laid on the couch and watched Jane Eyre until Dustin got up. The rest of the day was spent with my damn desk. I literally spent all day painting and organizing my desk. It was exhausting. While I was doing it, I was fine but afterwards I could barely move. I'm still sore and I am still finding paint on my skin two days later.

SUNDAY:  I went to Katie's for Aubrie's 5th birthday party. Five. Five years! Insane. I got there a bit early so I got to see Aubrie jump out of the car in their driveway with her little cap and gown on, since  they came straight from her pre-k graduation. A mini cap and gown is the cutest! It was a low key birthday. Katie invited her close family and friends and it really was nice and cozy. We watched Aubrie open presents and of course enjoyed some cake and ice-cream. 

Tropical Storm Beryl was just starting to make it's way across Florida when I was leaving the party. I thought I was going to beat it. Boy, was I wrong. I ran to my car in quite the downpour. I was soaked head to toe but my purse and the contents inside were all ok. No big deal. A little rain never hurt anybody! But then I started to drive in it. OMG! Seriously, some of the worst weather I've ever experienced in a car. Not only that but people were still driving like assholes. Everyone on I-4 was doing maybe 30 MPH. It was kind of scary. But then it just stopped. It was even sunny. I looked in my rearview mirror and it was black. But the stretch of highway in front of me was clear, dry and sunny. Oh Florida, you so crazy! Ha.

I made it home safely and Dustin and I decided to watch Chronicle. So good and different! We both really liked that movie. Dustin is still talking about it and how he wants Chronicle powers. Nerd. We also got to enjoy our Sunday evening of HBO shows without the dread of Monday morning. We stayed up late just because we could. I was not feeling good at all so we just stayed up watching some show about the existence of mermaids. Ariel!

I love having an extra day off! Ok, sure we didn't do shit today but it was still great. A paid holiday is always great. And this holiday has even more meaning than just time off. So Happy Memorial Day to everyone but especially those who gave their lives for our country. 

Katie: "Raise your hand if you want ice cream with your cake."
