My weekend started off with a great night with a few friends. Coincidentally, I had dinner with 4 people I went to High School with back in New Jersey who are now out here in San Diego. We went to the Starlight Lounge- great vibe and scrumdiddilyumptious food! Afterwards we went out dancing to a place called Bar Dynamite. Kind of cheese crowd but good music- all hip-hop and R&B hits from the 90’s. Hanging out with people from High School and listening to the tunes that took us through those years. Dancing for me is also so therapeutic- don’t really get to shake what my momma gave me too much these days. Three drinks later (3 drinks all night actually- I was a good girl) and two toe blisters later I was happy to go home and go to bed.
Saturday proved to be a little different. Have you ever have those days where you’re so bored out of your mind you think you’re going to lose it? I couldn’t think of anything to do and even when I did- I didn’t want to do it?!? I think I watched more HGTV that day than I ever could have imagined…Oh- and Anthony Bourdain of course. Maybe I had more fun than I thought. I was also supposed to be working on a project for a college course I’m taking. Yes- I’m “back in school”. This’ll make 8 years of college for me- Jen Van Wilder.
After a tv induced coma, I suddenly got a spark of inspiration. I’ve had 3 blank canvases in my possession for years- they have even made the trip from NJ to CA. My sister came with me to Michael’s while she was out here in December to help pick out paint colors. (The two of us indecisive chicks in Michael’s paint aisle FOREVER- priceless!) So I finally started to paint. I’m working on some Rothko-esque paintings. Not completely original but in line with my lost art skills. So I’ll post pics of them when they’re completed.
I also looked into maybe taking some Encaustic Painting classes. I love the way encaustic paintings look. I was on etsy.com looking for some gift items and stumbled upon some cool artist that does all encaustic creations. A certain someone might be getting one as a birthday gift soon!
Sunday- “He’s Just Not that Into You”…with Joanna. I was pleasantly surprised! What a funny and delightful movie. I think both girls and guys could relate to it. And then I cooked Chicken Marsala for my man for his return home from his wild weekend in Vegas. Last but not least, what better to end an interesting weekend than with a Lost marathon- my other obsession besides Pomeranian's, Anthony Bourdain, HGTV, unpursued hobbies and books, and reading endless celebrity gossip. I need to shape up or ship out- which I hope will partly be the inspiration for this blog series. Yikes. Gotta go! Reminder to self (make a list next time of numerous New Year’s Resolutions I should “think” about doing- I know…a little late)…. ☺
