the weekend update, by me, age 32.

i had dinner with n. on friday night. dinner and icecream afterwards were fun and good; talking afterwards was useful. useful in that excuse me while i tear my heart out of my chest and tapdance on it sort of way. i now have a more solid idea of what is and isn't going to be happening between he and i in the next six months (yes: dinners occasionally. no: anything else.) and of what he wants out of life at this point, which would be a) a divorce, and b) no kids.

saturday was more cheery. got up, spent some time on the computer, went out to lunch with lt and zannd. we went to the tgi fridays with the cute butch waitress, but our suspicion is that she has found another job. sad! then i went out to pick up the first half of my girl scout cookies from a woman who i used to work with, and i got to meet her two sons (i'd already met her daughter) and i spent some time talking with her and her husband. it was nice to catch up with them, but there was also the part where they live the sort of suburban life that makes my eyeballs itch. next i went off to cheshirekate's so that she could enter my tax information for me; she is doing taxes for n and i, seeing as n and i couldn't manage to do the taxes without fighting previously, this seems like a good idea. lots of sitting around and talking, and kitten (chesh's daughter who is six) greeted me at the door of the apartment building and then raced up the stairs saying 'betsy's here betsy's here betsy's here!', which was very happymahappymaking. she's a good kid, and it's nice to know that she remembers me. after lt fixed some computers and chesh worked on some taxes, we went off to lake street garage to meet fayde and kalikanzeros and toadnae for dinner, where i was thwarted in my desire to get tipsy by the fact that the waitress didn't bring me my cider until she brought me my food. darn her! everyone knows that the best way to get tipsy is alcohol on an empty stomach! ah, well. people came back to my house after, and there was much dog rumpusing.

sunday, i got up late, and went out to my mom's shop to look around and hang out with my mom. (my mom is good for hanging out with if you're depressed. just for the record.) while at the shop, i found a wedding present for miep and her girl. mwhahaha. it occurs to me that i have another wedding that i am invited to that is going to be even more shortly, but i think i am going to have to fall back on the target gift registry for that one. dinner with my family followed shortly, and then there was snuggling of my parents dog. who is a quite fine little dog, although somewhat stinky. and tonight has been full of working on wiscon.

so, overall, not too bad of a weekend.
