This led to one of the more depressing periods of television watching in my life.
You're probably thinking a) why does E watch so much television and b) she really does exaggerate a lot.
My response a) not enough sleep and getting off work too early and b) yes, but not about this.
First I finished West Wing, which was like saying goodbye to family. I mean, I had basically lived with the cast for the past four weeks. Then I caught up on all three episodes of Parenthood, which is an amazing show, but deals with some tough stuff. Finally, I watched the Grey's Anatomy season premiere.
So all really uplifting, is what I'm saying.
Just so you're not completely concerned about my excessive TV watching, I also cleaned, packed, and put away clothes. I was multitasking.
I had a really nice visit with my family, going through stuff in storage, watching football and cooking my all-time favorite shepherd's pie recipe.
Sunday morning I volunteered at a 5k run/3k walk that raises money for pediatric brain cancer research. This was the fourth year of the event and we passed $1 million for total raised in its history, which was very exciting.
Sunday afternoon, I joined my roommate and some of her friends for a movie, Liberal Arts. It's an indie romantic comedy starring Josh Radnor, the youngest Olsen, Zac Ephron and more. It was really well done and enjoyable. A little deeper than average but with plenty of parts that made me laugh.
After a horrible night of sleep Sunday night, I actually took a nap yesterday before class. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have survived. I went to sleep at 11 p.m. and woke up at 4:30 a.m., plus I woke up twice in between. I was a zombie.
(P.S. If that is what having a baby is like, I'm not ready for it. Not that I'm having a baby--I'm speaking in generalities.)
What did you do this weekend?
I spent the weekend with friends up in Victoria, it was really nice! What did you think of the Grey's seasion premiere? I can't believe they killed off Mark Sloan!
ReplyDeleteUgh that Grey's episode was freakin' rough. I imagine this week's will be equally rough.
ReplyDeleteit must be rough to watch tv sometimes. not that I'd know, since I don't even own one! ;) But your weekend sounds amazing, and I'm a little sad I wasn't there for the Shepherd's pie.
ReplyDeleteI'll admit it...TV is good lately, darn good. I'm addicted to a couple shows right now. NO shame

I'm always watching TV. I reserve an hour or two every night for watching my favorite shows.

ReplyDelete"" what did WE
ReplyDeleteOkay, Elizabeth, it's time to start watching some sitcoms. Like Parks & Rec! And Modern Family! And New Girl! Shows that are lighthearted and make you cry from laughter. Dramas are great, but sometimes you just need a show that will make you laugh. :)
