So. Tired.
I don't know why I'm so sleepy this morning! I didn't go to bed until midnight, and thus only got five and a half hours of sleep, but it's not like this is the first time I've ever done that. Grrr. Wake up, Kate!
I had a good weekend. I picked Shelley up after work on Saturday and brought her back here. We went to see Chicago, third time for me, first for her. I love that movie. More about it later, though. Then we came back and made dinner (Betty's Boobs) and watched lots of *NSYNC-ish stuff. Two hours of MMC, my $1 tape, the Disney concert at MGM, a Disney concert at Epcot, and the Atlantis concert. We finally fell asleep about 2. I hadn't watched *NSYNC stuff like that in a looooong time. Long, long time. It's not our record for the most in one night (I think that honor would go to the night we were dubbing tapes for Miggie and Alicia, and ended up watching something like six or eight hours... overkill, I tell ya, even for me), but it was a lot. And it was fun. Good to see the boys together again.
On Sunday, Mom made lunch, and then Jessica took Shelley home on her way back to school. Mom and I went for a looooong walk to get coffee, because it was so absolutely gorgeous out. I love spring! I came home and got all handy-woman and cleaned my windows inside and out. You have to flip them sideways to clean the outside, and I thought I was going to yank the first one right out of the frame and end up with broken glass all over my floor, but it went alright. <.g> Now I have sparkling clean windows with screens, so I can open 'em wiiiiiide. Love spring! Love it!
Elaina called me. I really miss talking to Elaina, so I'm really glad we got to catch up.
Then, last night, Greg and I went to dinner. Usually, it's Meghan and Greg and John and I, but this time John was still down in Champaign and Meghan was going to dinner with her parents, so it ended up just the two of us. We got to chat, which was good. Lots of fun.
And theeeeen the Oscars. I was mostly pleasantly surprised. I was all geared up for a night of super-political acceptance speeches, but almost everyone kept it toned down. I hadn't seen a lot of the movies up this year (for any of the awards), which was sad, but I don't think there were any awards I really, really thought should have gone to something or someone else. Even from hear-say. I wish Far from Heaven had won something, but at least it was nominated. I was happy that Bowling for Columbine won, based on what I'd heard, but Michael Moore's speach was the most wretched thing I've ever heard. He was booed right off the stage, and rightly so. Gosh. I'm SO glad it wasn't a night filled with Michael Moores. Chicago did well, and I'm glad. It's the only Best Picture candidate I'd seen, but I loved it. And I understand that the Academy Awards are voted on by the Academy, and they're for excellence in filmmaking, but I don't think it's too much to assume the films up for something like Best Picture be ones that are enjoyed by the masses as well as being excellent films. Sometimes I think the Academy is all snobby and chooses films that are important or meaningfull or have credits full of distinguished names, but that most commonfolk wouldn't want to sit through if they weren't up for Oscars. So I'm glad that something won that was great and that people like. There.
Today it's back to the grind. First "real" workday as the only banker. Should be interesting. Especially if I can't wake up. Wake up!!
