Well in spite of my previous post, I did have myself one hell of a good weekend in spite of myself. I owe both my betrothed and my wonderful friend R more than a few thanks for this. They really did me right. (Get your mind out of the gutter!)

Friday evening, R showed up and we had a FANTASTIC night of guilty gomo pleasures. DVDs (including anime) were watched, too much food was eaten, hours spent playing on Macintoshes and just talking until we both passed out were exactly what my funked up self needed. I must say that the more I know R, the more I realize how lucky a guy I am for having met him.

Saturday was an unexpected treat as R did not jet home as early as I had expected he’d have to. He stayed and hung out with us most of the day. It was nice to spend some time with both him and my sweetie and we had a lot of fun tech shopping and just being silly. A highlight of the day was R and I using my Nintendo DS (and my honey’s) to race head to head via Mario Kart DS on the way to Best Buy. We were laughing so hard that we gave ourselves headaches. Too funny. R seemed to enjoy it so much he bought his own Nintendo DS. BTW Evilbuddha and Vu, we need a 4 way WiFi race… when you all are ready!

The rest of the day was filled with laughter and fun with both of them the likes of which I haven’t had since I’d last hung out with my sweetie and Vu. I needed it. Really.

The evening was spent with my sisters. We had a great dinner where I had one too many drinks and then an evening spent laughing our asses off playing Mario Party 7. I really did not expect my one sister to enjoy it but she seemed to have more fun than any one else. I was super happy.

Sunday was a mixed bag of sadness and elation. The day started out great, got a little rocky and then turned into a wonderful afternoon. We headed to the King of Prussia Mall to pick up a new limited edition piece for my Walt Disney Classic Collection.

Stitch in Paradise

You’d think that would have been enough but no…. I had to have this as well…

Lilo: Elvis Was a Model Citizen

I had to have it because it goes with my The Stitch piece I got from Shawn for Christmas. And you’d think that would be enough, I had to join the Walt Disney Classic Collection Society, which gives you a members only piece which I wanted badly…

Ariel: 2006 Walt Disney Collectors Society

Oy vey. I need to learn to say no. I’m happy. They are all great pieces and I’m excited to own them. The rest of the day was spent hanging out with my boyfriend and unwinding from my hectic, but good weekend!
