Well, this was my last full weekend before my job completely takes over my life for the next few months. I know I sound pretty melodramatic, but no. Literally, beginning next Sunday the 10th, I will be training my RA staff to do their job from about 9 AM to 9 PM every day. Our last day of training is the 22nd. Just in time for two days of students moving in on the 23rd and 24th. I do dread training starting because it’s SO much. But I really do love my job, it’s just that knowing I will be sleep deprived for most of the month of August is hard to get excited about. (Here’s the rub: I’m the boss, so if I’m not excited, my staff isn’t excited. Sooo WOOHOO about training!)

Anyway. To enjoy my last weekend, Dan and I went into the city to go to the latest exhibit at SFMOMA, which is of Frida Kahlo’s work. Now. Let me just say that I like art. Dan loves art. He can wander around galleries and museums for hours while I get bored about 45 minutes in and go outside to have some ice cream. But, not knowing much about Frida walking into the exhibit (actually, walking into the long line outside the exhibit) I really enjoyed it. I appreciate her painting literally, putting all her pain and other crap out there for people to deal with. I mean wow, she did some serious painting when she was pissed.

Of course after the exhibit, we went out to dinner – and then the plan was to go see The Dark Knight on IMAX but it had been sold out all week. So, we still haven’t seen it, but we have high hopes for this week sometime.

We made grand plans for Sunday – brunch out at a new place, a city walk and then trying again for Batman. Looking back, I really appreciate our ambition. We did a grand total of none of that. We did make brunch here, and then we started watching Six Feet Under (on loan from a wonderful co-worker of mine). It’s a great series so far (all of four episodes in) but if I am to love it as I love the West Wing, it hasn’t happened yet. But, lots of potential, including Peter Krause being hottttt. Anyway, we also did a lot of cleaning our apartment, and giving our cats baths (mental note to take pictures next time). Yeah, we’re crazy kids living the city life let me tell ya.

We did also already book our travel for Thanksgiving-time. Ugh. I don’t feel like flying places used to be this expensive. Has it always been this expensive??

(Did we offend someone with the Pride parade pictures? No one commented and I think some of my captions were quite witty…)
