Weekend News

So I was all ready for a nice relaxing weekend, two whole days of doing nothing. But then I got a text from Ariane (AH) her birthday was this week and she’s having a party at the Old Friend Friday night… so I thought I could dodge it, after all hubby had to be up early Saturday night and there’s no way in hell I’m going there by myself. But then Edwin, a dear old friend that lives in Tel Aviv decided to come all the way (45 minute drive) to J-town for the event and that meant I had to go… so Friday was shaping up to be one hell of a day. I had to wake up early, go deposit hubby’s paycheck in the bank (done) buy food for the weekend (paid for and forgot the chicken) buy a present for Ariane (black t-shirt with red superman sign with horns and a tail) and run back home to get ready (much plucking to do). Had a few hours to relax but then we had dinner at my parents, which was good coz they live close to town and hubby could come straight from work, shower, nap and have a nice dinner. And after all that we walked to town. But wait. Half way there hubby realized he forgot his wallet and keys… so back to my parents’ we went and around 10:30pm we ended up at the Blue Hole where we found a very happy Edwin.

I felt better after a beer and upon realizing that Edwin was really drunk and that is always interesting. So we made our way to the Old Friend Rock Bar. The place was pitch black, worst than usual, we sat on really uncomfortable rotting sofas and had beers. Shit stain was very nice, got up and greeted us with hugs and stuff. Then I found out Edwin had never met him but only heard all the horrible stories from me! So Ariane called him over and while he was making his way to our table Edwin said “well, he doesn’t look like the devil” and the said hi, nice to meet you and the second shit stain walked away Edwin turned to me and said “I hate him”. LOL!

But altogether it wasn’t so bad. We did see a few people I don’t like but nothing I couldn’t get over. We didn’t stay long coz hubby was really tired and Edwin was starting to go to the bad side (told me he missed Ariane’s ex boyfriend and was gonna tell her about it). So we put him in a taxi to Tel Aviv and went home. I spent the next day doing absolutely nothing and I loved it. Watched Veronica Mars, Jericho, The Class and even quilted a bit. Oh, and she loved the shirt :) Looked all over the net for a picture of that logo but you get the idea.



Gotta add this: she looked very good. Scary skinny but good. She hasn’t had a drink in 3 months and hasn’t cut or hurt herself in 8 months. She’s giving the hospital a real chance and entering a welfare program to help her get on her feet when she gets out. I still hate shit stain but hey, you gotta pick your battles.
