to help myself survive, i went up to see my dearest gabe on friday. it was a much needed visit, even though it had only been like four days since i had last seen her. we went to the park and drank some delicious leinenkugel's and had beautiful conversation. followed by a jaunt around the river. we also enjoyed some absolutely fantastic great lakes grassroots ale while lounging on the porch and chatting with trish. all in all just a delightful time spent.
also went to see a few movies with my mom. disney/pixar's UP was just absolutely fantastic! it was just so adorable, i want to watch it over and over. also saw the night at the museum smithsonian movie, which was amusing. so not a completely horrible weekend.

have i mentioned i want to leave this place?
