Lovely weekend

This was another wonderful weekend.

The weather was perfect. While that was nice for me to wander around and enjoy it, it meant a whole lot of people driving into the city from the suburbs. I don't have anything against the suburbs and its people. OK, I HATE THEM. But why do they feel the need to drive into the city? You made the choice to move to the suburbs, so leave the city to its inhabitants. But, OK, fine, you want to come to the city and hang out on the beaches and shop and take pictures of city buildings, because you are bored with your boring ass houses and yards and 2 and a half kids. That's fine, come here and hang out, but why must you drive in and create all that traffic EVERYWHERE. There's a great public transportation system with trains and buses and you can drive halfway and take public transportation the rest of the way so everyone isn't sitting in traffic for an hour and getting nowhere.

Good weather meant a perfect time playing soccer. And the really hot ref that I have seen a few times in previous soccer seasons was there. Playing defense means playing closer to the refs, and he remembered me. I can't wait to go to my soccer game next week. MEOW!

A new hair do for the new season. I love it. I got it highlighted, and it turned out lighter than I had in mind, but I love it. Very summery and bright and lovely. I'm telling you, I'm rocking the bob. I never thought I'd have a bob cut again, but I am really loving it.

I got a little photography gig. Sure, it's for my cousin's baby shower. Sure, it's free. But hey, it's practice and more pictures to put up.

I haven't been much of a fan of the NBA for a while. College basketball is so much better! But I still follow the Bulls' performance from time to time. This year, they made it to the playoffs, and today they beat the Miami Heat and made it to the second round of the playoffs. I mean, they swept the Heat. I love seeing Shaq lose. LOVE IT!

Finally, to the most exciting part of the weekend. I took my parents to one of the condos I saw on Wednesday, and I put in an offer. Now, I just have to wait for the owners to come back with a counter offer. I really hope this place works out. It's a ton of space, and a great location, and a block away from my favorite sushi place. Can't go wrong with that!

It was beautiful here too. I can't wait for this weather to stick.

And good luck with the condo!!

It was lovely weather here but unfortunately I was stuck in the bloody office all weekend. Now I'm stuck here with no resources because our network and email are down due to a fire and a blown transformer.

How about a picture of the hot ref in action, eh?

Ooh, I can't wait to 1) be done with law school, 2) get a good job, so I can 3) also buy a condo and be just like Kula when I grow up. ;) Seriously though, being able to paint and do what you want with a place would feel really good. Hope it all goes well!

Marit - I hope this weekend is nice too. I have so many things to do and so many soccer games to play!

Kimberley - Working on the weekend sucks, but in this business we all have to do it. I'll try to sneak a pic of the hot ref this Sunday :)

Kim - Thanks! We're getting there.

Kranki - I know. I had a weird week with that, but I think we're getting somewhere.

Eliina - I can't wait, because if I want to paint a room bright pink, I CAN! It's going to be great.
