Wandering Aimlessly

I had a good weekend. Friday, I got home from work about 7, headed over to Tammy's around 8. She was home for the night, only, to have an early Easter dinner with her family. Jamie, Craig, and I played Catchphrase for a long time while Lydia dyed Tammy's hair. The hair turned out really nice, though! Then we all headed to Bahama Breeze, where Emily and Frank met up with us. We had a little drinky and chatted, and kind of cringed at the music. Heehee.

On Saturday, the weather was kind of crappy-ola. I cleaned my room (it needed it!) and then went in to school with my mom to help her put up bulletin boards. The power flickered a bit, and then went out completely, while we were there. Her power came back on in half her room, which luckily was the half where her class's Fast Plants (an experiment they're doing growing plants) were. They need to be under the light at all times, or they will die. Another teacher's room was not so lucky, so we had to call the principal and see if he could get the power back on. It was exciting, what with the downpour and loud-loud thunder, though. ;)

After that, Aarti came in on the train, and we went to see Bend it Like Beckham. Great movie! It was quite amusing and entertaining, and the guy was hot. Hoo boy. I guess I like 'em kinda skinny and dorky, but dude. His eyes. Mmmm. Overall, the movie was very good, and I would highly recommend you all run out and see it.

Then we came back and colored Easter eggs some. Good times.

Yesterday, it was Easter. Obviously. Usually, my grandparents (all four of them) come over for dinner. This year, Jess was still at school (had finals starting today, so she could not come home), my mom's parents were in Wisconsin visiting my cousins, and my dad's parents were at my other aunt's house. So it was just the three of us. We went to church, and then downtown to the Art Institute. LOVE the Art Institute. We went through all the Impressionism rooms, which are definitely my favorites, and then saw some special exhibits on African American art and art of the Himalayas. Very cool. After the museum, we walked around Millennium Park a bit, which was gorgeous. The weather was absolutely perfect, and the grass was green, and the lake was sparkling blue in the background, and the trees were blooming, and the buildings lining Michigan Avenue just looked so classic Chicago. Definitely made me love the city even more. It's a great city, Chicago. I just wish it didn't get so damn cold in the winter. Bah. Anyway. After that, we ate dinner at Bennigan's and headed home.

Tonight, I should be studying for my retail exam. It's Wednesday, and it takes all day. Like, all day. I'll be in Oak Park, and the exam starts at 8:30. The girls who took it last week said they weren't done until after 4:30. If I don't get at least an 80%, I am out a job. So wish me luck!
