listersgirlOh, hello, I love long weekends. There should be more! In fact, every weekend should be a three-day weekend. Because, you know, I actually did everything I had to do and everything I wanted to do, and was a big social bunny on top of that. In fact, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sarcasma and shoefiend are probably sick of me, since I saw them Saturday, Sunday and Monday. :)
Friday after work I had a session with a trainer at my potential new gym. I was distraught to discover that he was younger than me, which shouldn't be possible, because I'm 17, right? Right. He pushed me very hard, and it was fun, mostly.
Saturday I went to a yoga class at another branch of TPNG withsarcasma - we ran into shoefiend there, too. See? If I join TPNG I'll have people to play with! It was a good yoga class, too, unlike some yoga classes at gyms that I have known. I haven't done yoga in about a year, sadly, which meant that various parts of me complained wildly the next day, particularly my hip flexors, which like to languish in anonymity generally. Then I met up with starfishchick and dramaqueen_23 for shopping and sudden downpour dodging, which was fun, as always. Shopping with dramaqueen_23 is always good, because wears such completely different colours than anyone else I know, which means I have to stop wandering around exclaiming, "who WEARS these colours?" Saturday night, there was the laundry, and the vodka, and James Marsters on Andromeda. Who knew?
Sunday I brunched withsarcasma, sanity_clause, shoefiend, and mystery_diva. On a patio. Eating an omelette with portabello mushrooms, roasted red peppers, and asiago. Heaven. Then we wandered around, looking in random stores (including a bookstore, where I - wait for it - bought some books), and ended up on another patio, drinking sangria. Also heaven. And then I cleaned the apartment, which was not heaven, but which made me feel very virtuous.
Monday I finished cleaning the apartment, and then I actually went to the gym, even though it was a holiday. Sadly, the people running the gym did not go to the gym, so I found another branch (because I'd already gone all the way down there, plus gyms are air-conditioned, and my apartment is not), after which I treated myself to lunch.
And then on Monday night great hordes of people came over (akastarfishchick, circe_tigana, sarcasma, sanity_clause, shoefiend, and vestra and vestra's friend S. (who does not have an LJ yet, although I think we may have badgered her into it), back from Cobourg for the night), and we sat in the ridiculous heat and tried on all the fabulous samples we ordered from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. Between the 45 samples we ordered, and the 15 freebies they sent, we were definitely running out of tester body parts by the end of the evening. When you've been reduced to yogic contortions in order to smell the back of your left ankle, you know you're done. However, we all smell fabulous now, and I think everyone ended up with a wish list of other things to try. Also, a book, as I made everyone borrow things from my bookshelves.
I'll post a complete review of my BPAL scents, but for now, let me just say that Puck, in the immortal words of Circe, "smells like dog shit hiding in the grass of the park after a rain". If anyone wants to experience this for themselves, we have an imp to offer up. :)
