Slow weekend

My weekend had inauspicious beginnings with a three hour, wine soaked lunch at Mr. B's with my boss and paralegal (side note for New Orleanians: we tried to go to Galatoire's, but when we got there at 1:45 they told us that we would have to wait two hours for a table, so we ended up wandering over to Mr. B's). The evening ended by meeting Archi-Sapper at the local bar where he hangs out with his co-workers while I sipped Diet Cokes. One of his rather inebriated co-workers asked me what I was drinking, and when I said Diet Coke he responded, "You're going to have to drink a lot of those to get a buzz."

I went to the firm's business meeting Saturday morning, which was a very nice, climate controlled nap (I still haven't figured out how coffee manages to wake me up when I want it to and lull me to sleep when I'd prefer a nap). The remainder of Saturday was pretty calm, ending with me watching the first part of season one of Gilmore Girls on dvd from Netflix. Somehow I feel like I should be embarassed to admit that I really liked it, and I'm not sure if that's because it's a cheesy chick-flick t.v. show or because it airs on the WB network (sorry, Andre). I'm not making any apologies for liking shows on the WB, since I also like Grounded For Life. As for chick-flick t.v. shows, well. . .

My other weekend accomplishments include finishing The Happy Hooker (she's happy, all right) and discovering that my husband -- employee of a construction company -- now knows more about the criminal trial process than I do. He's been on jury duty for the past couple of weeks. He now calls me from his two hour lunch breaks and says things like, "Yeah, I didn't get picked up in round one of voir dire, but there's still round two before they start their strikes and then have an in camera conference." Okay, babe. Whatever you say.
