Unfortunately, I was then too tired to go to a 10 pm showing of Stardust. So I went to bed.
And I cleaned the house for five hours on Saturday. Which sadly doesn't involve any stars. But Saturday falls in the middle of the rest of my weekend story, so there you go.
Church picnic on Saturday afternoon didn't involve any stars, either. But it did involve me going into my pastor's pool fully clothed.
Saturday night I made flan for Dan and Ally. And it wasn't star-shaped, either, unless stars are yellowish tasty blobs of goo and caramelized sugar. Which they might actually be. I don't know. I've never tasted a real star.
But I did go see Stardust on Sunday afternoon with Jeremy's family. And I loved it. It instantly went in my top ten favorite movies of all time. Right alongside the Princess Bride. There are now two amazingly awesome fairy tale movies out there to choose from.
And to round things off, we went to the secludedest field we could find with a bunch of friends and family on Sunday night to watch the Perseid meteor shower. And we saw one really good meteor, and a few little ones, but then the clouds moved in and kept us from seeing anything remotely close to the promised meteor-a-minute. But meteors or not, it was fun to spend an evening in a dark field with friends. Just don't trip over the hose.
Actually, that didn't even round things off completely. Monday night, I worked at Starbucks, which is starrish, too, and therefore may be tacked onto my starful weekend. It was an important shift, too, because it was the last time I will ever be working at Starbucks as a barista.
And today involved no stars, although I am wearing my star t-shirt, and I am sure I could come up with some sort of star metaphor for working my last day at the law office. But I won't. Feel free to make up your own metaphors: I am on vacation.
Stage one of my vacation: Laying by the pool with Ali tomorrow.
And then, this weekend, at my cousin's wedding in Rochester, I will finally get to meet my newest nephew, Nicholas. Yay!

I am a nut, and love meteor showers. I saw one (just one meteor) the other night. This is the time of year when I had my miscarriage in 2002, and I was outside the night after my surgery (I think) and there was a meteor shower. I have been even worse about meteors ever since. Unfortunately, our small town is getting bigger and I have a hard time seeing the meteors in my backyard. I plan to go to an observatory soon, and I think a good night might be this Friday!

I love that meteor shower... it used to be one of the highlights of my summer-camp experiences :)
We're going home this weekend too - for my 10 year HS reunion! Maybe we'll see you on the road, friend :)
