Why Does Monday Come So Quick? Damn the appearance of Monday!  I was having a nice weekend, and it had to come along and end it.  Oh well.  I did have an extra long weekend.  Here are some of the highlights.  Friday was a comp day for me.  Since I had to come in and take care of a server in the wee hours of last Saturday, my boss gave me the day off.  I promptly went to get my oil changed at O'Donnell Honda.  I must admit that in my two dealings with O'Donnell, I have been impressed.  They even gave me a car wash.  That's awesome!  I also took care of a couple of other errands.  I had dinner that evening with a very good friend, and I had a wonderful time with the people I met over dinner.  Saturday was a busy day, too.  I woke up at 9:30 AM to hop online and buy tickets to see U2.  Unlike a couple of my coworkers, I succeeded in my quest with TicketBastard.  I must admit, though, that I am still numb from the price of tickets and how much I paid for four tickets.  It should be a fun show, as I have never seen them before.  I had a co-rec football game to play in at 1:00 PM.  Continuing the trend that was set in my men's league earlier this winter, we lost the game.  I still had three receptions, for a touchdown and two-point conversion.  I also saw one of my teammates make a great catch to set up that touchdown.  We need more girls on our team, and some more focused play-calling.  In the evening, I stopped by to see some friends at the Cross Street Market, and then headed over to Canton to make an appearance at Cardwell's for a birthday party.  That was a good time, but I was so sore and tired, I could not wait to get home into bed.  Sunday was pretty fun, as I enjoyed the weather and went to check out the festivities downtown for the upcoming St. Patrick's Day holiday.  I saw the winner of the 180s Shamrock 5K race zoom by me.  The winner finished in under 15 minutes, and I am still shaking my head over that one.  I also saw the St. Patrick's Day Parade in downtown Baltimore.  In all my years living here, I never did that.  It was a little cold, but I had a good time with my friends.  I also was able to enjoy some post-parade celebrating at the James Joyce Pub.  That was just some training for the Guinness consumption that I will undertake on Thursday.  It was disappointing to get up this morning, but this week is a bit busy since I have a short week and I need to turn some things in.  11:00:17 AM    comment []  trackback []
