Wrapping up the weekend...

Thinks back... Peabody...set the Wayback Machine for 3 Dec 2004!

*clouds of mysterious dihydrogen monoxide appear*

Friday was fairly boring. I spent a good chunk of the afternoon doing laundry.

Brian came down and hung out with Sean and I. We made a (relatively) late run out to Meijer at 11 to get a board game...and spent 45 minutes or so just being stupid idiots running around the store before finally picking up Monopoly.

Around 3am we called the 2nd game and declared Sean the winner. It was going to be a long protracted battle between Sean and I so I just conceded. I soundly trounced 'em in the first game ;)

On to Saturday...

In the morning, Sean had to run to the Driver's Service Station but got the hours wrong...and Brian and I ran to the post office so I could mail a couple of packages and get stamps to mail out my Yule cards this week. We got back and hung out with Sean a lil bit...napped and then Brian and I headed to Peoria.

We drove down and paid our $10 to drive through the 100+ floats decorated almost entirely with Christmas lights. I'll be posting a few pix here in the next day or two (behind an LJ cut thank you much!). We then ran over to the East Peoria Avanti's out on Rte 8.

Let me just say MMMMMMMMM

for clarity MMMMMMMMM

I had their world famous Gondola. If you've ever had one, you know exactly what I mean. Brian had lasagna. A nice casual sit down Italian dinner...and the total for both of us with beverages... $15.10 How's that for value!

We then drove back up to Chicago and crashed out back at our place. Sean got home about 3:30am from a party he was invited to and crashed out.

And moving on to Sunday...

We got up at 10am and got ready to head off to Glen Ellyn to pick up fellow Garou player Jim P. and saw Brian off on his drive back up to Madison. We picked up Jim about 11:45 (only 15 minutes late) and headed down to Portage for Garou...had fun down there with my new character in the game.

Drove back to Chicago around 7:30 with Sean and another player Brando in the back, Jim and I up front. We dropped off Sean and Brando at the Fight Shop downtown for the Changeling game and I drove back out to Glen Ellyn to drop Jim off at home. We stopped at Wendy's for dinner and shot the shit for about an hour.

I headed out from Jim's place about 10:30 and realized I'd get back up to Wheeling at 11:15 and have to leave about 11:30 to drive down to Chicago to pick up Sean. So instead I just drove back to Fight Shop and caught the last 15 minutes of the Changeling game.

I made Sean drive home as I was getting really tired and I was starting to feel what feels like the onset of a cold kickin in. I came home, took some NyQuil and crashed out.

And today...I got up and took Sean to work. Came home, cleaned up the apartment some, got called in 2.5 hours early for a job interview which went really well, and managed to call around about getting the brakes done on Sean's car. I've not gotten a nap in today as much as I'd love to, but I figure that I'll just go to bed early tonight and I'll sleep well.

That's it for now...
