case of the mondays

Good weekend. I can’t understand why I am so tired this Monday but it’s taking a while to get the mental engines going.

Friday: bought a butcher-block table from craigslist after seeing one on the way to work that we could have had. When we got the roommates to go back for it someone had already picked it up. It was a damn nice table as well. And when I came to work and told my bosses about it they both told me I should have just come in later and called. Even more frustrating. Anyways found a cheap on criagslist. It is definitely a necessity right now. Our counter space is about two feet at the most it makes cooking pretty much impossible, so now we have increased the space a good amount. If only the cat would understand we bought the table for food prep not for him to lay on. Bob came with me to get the table then dropped him off in Manhattan picked up cate and brought the table home. The apt is coming together; it has a completely different feel to it from the first two years I lived there.
Got everything together and drove out to Long Island to go to the beach for the weekend realizing half way out there I forgot my swim suit so a stop at target to sort for hours through the remnants of what they had left for suits… the worst thing was that none of them were on sale. Ah well.

Saturday: Spent the day on the beach. Cate’s friends from work came out and so did Craig and his girlfriend. Been doing my best to stop being a brat and be sweet. Just hung out on the beach and had some bbq for dinner. I am pretty convinced that I had a soy hot dog fro every meal starting Friday night to Saturday night. Ate some Avocado dip, was not a good idea later in the night. Should have known better that it was pretty much made from a science experiment rather than actual food.

Sunday: Came back to Brooklyn and relaxed a bit then met up with Eric and went to his brothers house with his mom and step dad and Eric cooked us all dinner. Very good. It was heirloom tomatoes with corn and cucumber salad. Then I had setian with burssel sprouts, mushrooms, potatoes, kale, and collard greens. Very very yummy. I think I ate myself sick. Came home and went to bed.

Funny story, I found out that the new rooms mate has friends that now live in park slope who were actually the previous tenants in our apartment when I moved in to it two years ago. When we moved in I asked why the girls that were there were leaving and the broker said that one was going to live with her boyfriend and the other two were getting a place. It turns out that my new roommate her friends were the two boyfriends and girlfriend that moved in together and are now married. She used to have my room. Bizarre and super small world.
