what did you do this weekend?

The weekend is coming to a close and I got a lot of things done- at least it feels like I did. Directly after my 2nd last shift at the country club Friday night, I took off to Winklertown and made it home just before midnight.

Off to bed it was for me because the next morning I got up early to head over to my old high school to play in an alumni showdown against the current varsity girls volleyball team. We called ourselves the "Zodi-aches" (a clever play on the actual team name "Zodiacs") even though another girl and I were clearly the oldest ones there. It was so much fun to get back on the court (and almost pack a youngen in the face...oops) even though I knew I would undoubtedly be ridiculously sore after (which I am in the shoulder blade area...but I like it). I went on a self tour of my old stomping ground that brought back a lot of memories. Can't say I really miss it. The odd place had some fond nostalgia: the music room, the gym, & the chem lab (weird, I know).

After that fun fest was over, I spent the rest of the day hanging out with my dad doing "manly things". First up on the docket, change the oil in my car. Lots of engine gazing after that: learning what fluid goes where. Next, clean out my car and fill the tires with air (I wore my new Doc Martens the whole time to get into my grunge side). We took the time after all that to sit in the living room...and polish my leather Doc's (they're not legit Doc's, but pretty darn close).

I guess I was feeling pretty motivated, cuz I ended up sewing a few pairs of pants as well (no fresh starts, just some edits, don't think my domestic skills are quite that high yet).

I dashed home early this morning to make it for our dear Jennie's "Shabby Chic" wedding shower. Lovely party that your aunt threw, my dear (loved the Alice theme). Who knew having so much crap in my purse could do me any good! ;)

Off to my first day on the new job tomorrow morning....
