(including Monday, 'cause my weekend updates always do)

Friday: [livejournal.com profile] jessruth arrived, picked me up from work, and came to the 20s & 30s Shabbat dinner at shul along with me, [livejournal.com profile] mattrolls, [livejournal.com profile] ablock, and [livejournal.com profile] kalessin. Smashing time had by all. Back to my house afterwards to play Animal Crossing ([livejournal.com profile] kalessin has now been assimilated, bwahaha) until Way Too Late.

Saturday: Got up early (like 7:45am) to learn my Torah portion; fortunately I nailed it in the actual reading. Had begged off that afternoon's Utopia rehearsal due to [livejournal.com profile] jessruth's visit, so left shul early to (make lentil stew and) hang out at home with her and [livejournal.com profile] kalessin, who took us to the Hot Foods Party around 4pm. [livejournal.com profile] mattrolls showed up later after he got out of rehearsal, and [livejournal.com profile] ablock showed up MUCH later than intended since work was being evil. Smashing time had by all. My highlights: Spicy Brownies, Chocolate Cayenne Truffles, and HabaƱero Shortbread; [livejournal.com profile] quietann's froggie toe socks; winning at Apples to Apples, and being introduced to Nanofictionary by [livejournal.com profile] xiphias; brief but pleasing chats with [livejournal.com profile] gosling and my college pal Jesse and [livejournal.com profile] eeblet and sao [livejournal.com profile] hauntmeister and [livejournal.com profile] baronet and dr_snark [I was close, that's [livejournal.com profile] drsnark. -- Ed.] and [livejournal.com profile] marmota and, of course, [livejournal.com profile] sunspiral, not necessarily in that order. And a few blissful minutes here and there of indulging my mad crush on [livejournal.com profile] hotpoint. ;-) Crawled home around 2:30 am. Yay.

Sunday: A couple games of Scrabble (I lost to Jess, then she lost to Joel). Jazz brunch at Ryles where we ran into [livejournal.com profile] charliegrrrl and [livejournal.com profile] actualhuman. More Animal Crossing. [livejournal.com profile] jessruth got a ride back to NYC late in the afternoon. [livejournal.com profile] mattrolls took a nap. And then I went off to my women's tefilah group (sort of a monthly study group), which also was nice. I even managed to do the reading: we're starting David Hartman's A Heart of Many Rooms.

Monday: somewhat productive day at work, lunch with [livejournal.com profile] navrins, and evening spent with same -- after I did my taxes. Last year I ended up owing almost $1,000 due to freelance work. This year I ramped up my withholding (and also, as it happened, had less freelance income), and as a result I owe only $26. Whew! The state of MA, by contrast, owes me a whopping $2 (that's two whole dollars). I was Telefiling, or I'd have told them to just put it to the AIDS fund. But I'm relieved to have it all figured out.

Thanks (I guess :-) I do feel very lucky to have such a wealth of friends and activities in my everyday life. But this weekend was more so than most.
