Had a pretty low-key weekend, I believe it was needed. Finally getting closer to feeling human again, damn sickness took over for well over a week.
Friday I got out of work early and headed to a cleaning at the dentist, very exciting to say the least. I was back in Worcester at a decent time to grab a coffee and wait for Will to get out of work so I could give him a ride home. Relaxed at home for a couple hours then decided on Corner Grill for dinner. I am on a mission to show Will all the great places, things and people that make me stay in Worcester. So pizza at Corner Grill is almost mandatory. We headed to Corner Grill and ordered the Baked Potato Pizza minus the bacon. Soon Matt joined us and Kelly when she got out of work. We sat for a bit then decided we would go over to Kelly’s for games, drinks and laughs, in that exact order too. First Will and I hit up the newest FroYo establishment in the city and tried their frozen yumminess. Then headed to Kelly’s where we played Munchkins, Guillotine, and Small World. It was a serious game night when you start Small World at almost 11pm.
Saturday was already determined to be a “Snow Day” also a not feel guilty for sleeping until almost 11am, my reasoning being I haven’t had a decent nights sleep in over a week from my coughing. I woke up, did a little house cleaning and then Will and I decided to go to WooDaddy to grab breakfast. I had the Cornbread Waffle smothered with Vegan Chili and Will had the Gravity Waffle which was a Carrot Cake Waffle with Cream Cheese Frosting. After brunch decided to drive around Worcester, run a few errands and make a couple stops for tea, chocolate, look at comic books and smoothies at Nu Café. At this point I was still feeling a tad ill and not full of my normal energy so we headed home. The afternoon and evening became cleaning, organizing and relaxing time. Originally thought maybe Kelly, Matt, Jason and I would head to Beatniks to see Sugar and the Cane Breakers but we all decided to stay in and warm on a cold night.
Sunday morning we had planned on brunch around 11 at the Abbey. This time of year it is slow enough that a party of 6 can get a table when they walk in, I love it when it is like that. Will and I showed up and I ordered my standard Bloody Mary (Spicy- Spicy, Peppered Rim, Two Olives and a lime) and we waited for the rest of the group. Kelly and Matt showed up and due to a car issue with the new Jeep, Jason was late and as normal Brad was late also. Good Food and Good Laughs (really I think that is what life is about) Will had to head to work and the rest Kelly, Matt, Brad and I headed to Jen (Boobs) Pampered Chef party. We enjoyed food, wine and all bought some always needed kitchen gadgets. I ordered a new plastic bit for my Food Chopper and a pizza stone. After the PC party we headed back to the cars and noticed that Brad’s car had been towed, so I gave him a ride over to Pat’s (ugh) and he was able to get his car. I had already made plans to help Jason find some new clothes, so ran to his house and we hit up a couple stores, at this point I became even more jealous of the ease of male clothes shopping. He found like 6 great shirts and two pairs of jeans in just over an hour. Once I got back to my car I went to Starbucks to grab a hot chocolate and visit with Will for a bit. It has been nice having my cousin up here, and between my friends and I we are trying to get him to stay; he is a great addition to the group.
It is now Monday and I am overwhelmed with my busy but fun filled week. Tonight I need to go to Connecticut and check out dresses with Samantha, tomorrow evening I seem to overbooked myself between Knitting, Worcester Foodies Dinner at Bocado and MELT- Barre Class. Wednesday evening I have dinner with my brother and Karen, Thursday is pedicures with Jess, MELT- Barre Class and I am sure out and about as it is Matt’s b-day and I need to make it to the Dive. Depending on my health will depend the weekends plans, I also may be overbooked by a possible Garfield hike on Saturday and Volunteering in Vermont for the Tubbs Breast Cancer event.
