The End is Nigh...

Only one more week of school. I can't believe I made it to the final stretch. Exams start tomorrow, go through Thursday and Friday is a records day for teachers. I am SO happy it's the last week...it can't go quickly enough.

Whirlwind of a weekend (aren't they all?) Quick rundown:

Thursday: After a dinner al fresco at ABC and then drinks at Old Town, Jon and I headed to the 8 Ball and Blind Pig for an evening of music and revelry with the Ganon boys. It was a hoot but getting home close to 1am and having had too much Oberon and Old Style to drink made Friday a pretty difficult day (for the first hour I was at school, I pretty much sat there with my head in my hands thinking "how am I going to make it THROUGH today? Good thing I have a first hour prep;)

Friday: Hungover and tired I made it through school. After a quick nap at home, I was ready to go. Pepper encrusted steak, asparagus and a mustard sauce and some red wine made for a good meal (though a little too peppery...word of warning: cayanne pepper + hot pan - liquid = tear gas). We watched "The Holiday" and had a fine night.

Saturday: After a wonderfully luxurious sleep that lasted till noon, I finally hauled myself out of bed and, upon finding it a beautiful day, suggested to Jon that we wander around downtown. The wandering was cut short by a visit to Dominick's where we ran into Kelly and Martin (friends of Jon's) and we convinced them to stay for more sangria. We then headed to Belleville for a shindig thrown by one of Jon's co-workers which included pizza, bowling and Apples to Apples. Just don't ask me to play euchre;)

Sunday: Grading essays like a crazy-woman since I'd goofed off most of (ok, all of) the weekend wasn't too terrible since I got to sit outside at ERC and enjoy the gorgeous day. After a break to see "Knocked Up" (very funny, go see it) and a slightly garbled invitation to dinner with my parents, Jon and I joined them for marinated, grilled pork, roasted veggies and roasted potatoes. Mmm. Good eats this weekend:)

So, I'm in the home stretch. I figure I'll make it if I made it this far. Trivia night tonight (woot!) and fingers crossed that Geoff will be back asking the questions.
