Case of the Mondays

Another weekend...gone. I usually don't dread coming to work on Monday but not this week. I've definitely got a "case of the Mondays." Since we get up so early we usually go to sleep around 10 (no comments please) but last night I stayed up and read my book because I didn't want the weekend to be over. I guess the last three weekends have been so much fun, I'm getting spoiled.

Friday night we went out for drinks for a co-worker who moved on to bigger and better things. We were at the bar until around 11 and then I found myself back at the exact same bar the next morning at 8:45 a.m. We actually lucked out because the soccer game normally would have been at 7:45 but daylight savings time pushed it up an hour. The bar was almost full when we got there because Ireland was playing rugby plus it was St. Patricks Day. The cover to watch rugby was $20...which was insane. The rugby match didn't start until 9:30 so people had gotten there over an hour early just to get a seat. By the time we left the bar was PACKED with people dropping $20 to watch rugby. On the way to the subway I kept saying how crazy it was..how I couldn't believe people had woken up that early and paid that much money and then I realized I do that for soccer pretty much every weekend without the cover charge.

Saturday night....another suprise birthday party...this time we were at the restaurant for over 4 hours. The place was really cute and we had a room all to ourselves but there was one chef cooking for over 20 people with no help. Very strange. After dinner we went to an Irish pub in anticipation of some traditional Irish music but instead we got Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston...very odd.

Yesterday I was out all day having brunch with friends so I basically watched no basketball all weekend. When I got home I caught the end of the evening games but that was it. It feels very strange not to watch the games and not to care about them more.
