Will this weekend ever end?

I know that is a strange, and wrong, thing to ask, but I don't know if I can handle much more. I slept until 2pm today. And I'm still tired. We haven't done a lot of stuff this weekend, but for some reason I am tired and sore and just out of it.

Thursday was the end of our work week. I had a council board meeting after work, and then I rode my bike to the Gallivan Center to see The Roots play. I met up with Chris and some friends, and had a great time. It was crazy packed, I think all of Salt Lake City was there. It was over much too soon. We headed to my favorite bar afterwards, Johnnies on Second. It was so much fun. A few beers, a tequila shot, and a couple of strangers phone numbers later, we left for home. I think we got home at about 3am, at which point I drunkenly made a quesadilla. (Chris: I thought you ate at your council meeting? Me: I did, NINE hours ago.)

Friday morning came early. I had to get up at 11am to get ready to have lunch with Steph. We ate sushi and I felt much better. I went to the dentist, we cleaned the house, and then met up with a couple of friends to go to the SLC Jazz Festival. Let me just say - the Jazz Festival crowd is an interesting one. Wow. I had no idea there were so many intense jazz fans in this city. I got scolded for talking during an act, there was a crazy dancing old man, a man playing the harmonica along with the band (WTF?) and the most bizarre array of vendors I have ever seen. It was fun, though, but I was so tired when we got home I crashed immediately. At midnight. And I slept until two. Please tell me that sometimes you need 14 hours of sleep, too?

Tonight we are meeting Scott and Jessica for dinner at 6pm, and then we are going to Saturday's Voyeur, a show that the Salt Lake Acting Company writes and puts on each year. It is a hilarious time, the whole point of the show is to poke fun at Utah, and as the old saying goes "It's funny cause it's true." The best part is that they allow you to bring in your own food and alcohol, and with Scott and Jess I'm sure we're going to end up a least a little tipsy.

(Our workplace is offering us the option to work 4 10-hour days starting in August, giving us every Friday off. Chris and I are going to do it, at least for a 90-day trial period. Is this going to the best thing ever or the worst thing ever? Time will tell.)
