Update

Okay!

Another great weekend, I don’t know, but the Hixx is really managing to do it up. I think it has a lot to do with how awesome the people surrounding me are.

Friday night stayed in and watched Enchanted. And it was pretty cute, very girly movie, but I thought it was really sweet, and not what I had thought it was going to be and there were cute touches and the songs are cute and everyone is cute. Including me. Done.

Saturday I woke up around 7 and walked the dog and it was pouring out, and I thought “Well, this is Chicago; it only rains for a little bit, there’s no way its still going to be raining in 2.5 hours when I give me tour.” I thought the same thing at 8 when it was still pouring, 8:30 when it was still pouring, 9:00 when it was still pouring and figured by 9:30 when it was still pouring; well…I was just going to have to give a rainy tour. I had this image of everyone down below and me not using a mike or anything and just giving my tour downstairs, inside, by the bar…

Alas, brave brave people, a lot in fact, sat upstairs, outside. So I decided this was going to be a shining moment, and it ended up being a really fun tour. When 30 people are willing to sit outside in their ponchos, in a rain STORM (it was not just raining, but storming at points) then by gum it, I’m going to give them some sweet tour, and I did and it was actually really fun.

John and I went wedding ring shopping afterwards and that was so easy that the guy sent us away basically telling us to make it more complicated and then come back.

Saturday night we saw the Knight, (not Christopher Knight) and really enjoyed it. Heath, well there’s nothing to say that hasn’t already been said, but he was so fabulous. The movie was great, Chicago was great…I’m not sure it’s the best movie ever made, (personally I like the first one better) but it was pretty fantastic.

Sunday I cuddled with the handsomest man in existence (John was in Wisconsin) (KIDDING) and then went canoeing with Sabrina. What a hilarious thing, after our helper took a massive whiff on the slippery mud, we were off and boating. I was pretty uncomfortable at first, feeling like I was falling off the boat, but after awhile I put away my “stories” about how I’m a spaz, and decided to use my strong ass arm muscles for good. Sabrina kept us on course pretty well. Here are the things we saw:

An old tire
Two condoms
A bloated, dead squirrel

It was pretty.
By the time we got off the canoe the sun was out, we were sunburned but happy and rode our bikes to lunch, then a street fair, then home. Then we watched The Ruins, which was pretty scary and horrible (better than the book if you ask me) and had pizza.

What a great freaking weekend. Think I can keep it up?
