Long Weekend

Cat in the Headlights

Cat in the headlights

This weekend we had the day off of school for Veteran’s day Wednesday, so I came home Tuesday night, skipped Thursday and Friday, and had a nice long weekend.  Tuesday Danie and I went to a friend’s birthday party/proposal, and then came home and watched a movie.  Wednesday I got to sleep in, and spent the day mostly being lazy.  I got some assorted foodstuffs for Danie, and made her some Annie’s mac and cheese.  And I oh-so-sneakily got her a belated birthday present, since she turned 22 on Monday.

On Thursday I got up and had lunch with Danie, and we had a generally fun day.  We got to go to small group again, and then karaoke at night.  On Friday, Danie had to sing at a church in St. Pete, and then at a bar out on Anna Maria, so I spent most of the day driving her around to get her hair and makeup done, and then to the gigs in question (and, of course, sleeping in a good deal myself.

Saturday I got to sleep in again, and then I went over to Danie’s house and watched The Penguins of Madagascar for a while (I know, I know).  We went and watched The Proposal at the Parkway theater in Sarasota, then we went to Longwood park (home of the world’s most amazing playground equipment).  I took the Danie out for dinner at Mar Vista, and we finished up the night by watching Saw III (and I got to scare Danie with my jigsaw voice).

This morning I got up and headed to church, got set up to run handheld camera first service…and then found that the cable to one of our headsets had gone bad, so I had to sit out first service.  We frantically hunted it down and replaced it in between services, and then we went through the usual service routine.  Afterwards I went and had lunch with my grandparents, and had some fun shooting a little video of the wildlife on the golf course behind their house.

Later today I decided to photograph my cat, who’s had his food bowl in my room on my bookshelf for a while now.  I got a nice little light setup going on, and then I lured him up to the shelf with treats.  I got some nifty shots out of it, and then we went out to Five Guys for dinner (gotta love peanuts and fries).  Then we came back, and here I am post-processing the cat photos and writing a blog entry.
