I've been on the go since 3:00 on Friday and I finally got to stop at about 5:30 today.  It is good to be so busy and full during the weekend, but at the same time it is exhausted and I spent way too much time on public buses this weekend.
Friday:
At 3:00 I left work early and went to the bank to drop off GS cookie money.  I deposited the last of the cash.
At 3:30 I got home and rustled up Tess.  She had a shot to get at 4:30.  We hiked up to the flexcar at 3:45 and she got her shot with no problem.
At 5:00 I was back home and studying for Saturday's CEBS test.  I left about 6:00 because I had volunteering at 8:00 and I wanted to grab dinner before I catch the bus to volunteer.
7:30 I arrived in Fremont and spent the night taking tickets at the Hop Scotch beerfestival.  I was there until 11:30 and managed to catch one of the last buses back to downtown to go home. 
Saturday:
Up and studying for the first hour before I caught the bus to take my next CEBS test.  (CEBS stands for Certified Employee Benefit Specialist in case you care.  There are 8 tests total.  This was my 2nd one.)  I got there at 9:30 even though my test wasn't until 10:30.  They let me go early and I took only about an hour to take the test.  I passed!  Yippee!  I just missed the bus back to the transit center so I ended up waiting outside for a half an hour.  (Boo) And then the bus I caught was late and so I missed the buss I was hoping to catch back to Seattle and it took me far longer than I think it should have. 
1:00 I was back in town and stopped to pick up lunch and laundry detergent since I had to do laundry on Sunday morning. 
I ate, showered, and was out the door by 3:10 to catch a 3:30 bus.  Here's where bus debacle happens.  I go down and wait for the 3:30 bus that allegedly was coming according to the bus trip planner.  And I wait and wait and wait getting more stressed and no bus.  Finally I catch a different bus and end up having to get off at a different stop and trucking along worried about being late.  But I make it in time and I get to pour beer.  Yay!  I like doing this.  I stupidly agree to go to the "red carpet" section which was fun, but the beers there were two tickets and a lot of people were not pleased with that.  So when it was time for me to leave they come over and there aren't enough volunteers.  The other 2 girls with me are dying to leave and I said I'd stay.  So I picked up 1/2 a 2nd shift and didn't get to leave until 10:45. 
I grab some dinner (This is the 3rd meal of tacos I have had over the weekend.)  Catch the bus home and crash into bed after midnight. 
Sunday
7:00 I woke up and started laundry.
By 10:00 I was showered and out the door for shopping at Target.  I bought a new bathing suit and some Cetaphil (on PM's recommendation) and a bunch of other stuff.  I got back at 12:30 and realized that I had no idea what time I had to catch the bus to go to the splash party for the girls.  That was from 2 - 4 but I did wear my new bathing suit and got in with the kids.  I was out the door at 1:20 to catch it
Caught the bus at 4:48 to the grocery store.  Picked up some stuff for dinner (what's the first rule of shopping... don't do it when hungry.  I think that's how I ended up with some of what I ended up with. ) :) Came home flopped on the sofa and eventually got up and cooked dinner and showered.  All in all it was a fun weekend and so so busy.  I love pouring beer at the beer festival.  I'm ready to crash though.  I feel like I could sleep for days.  :)

OMG, I'm exhausted reading all of that. Go go indeed! Sounds like a good mix of fun and productive!
I am tired now....
That is completely the opposite of my weekend. I spent most of it sleeping. I think the parasite grew a lot this week. I have been extra tired.
Too tired to post all week?
