Every other weekend our heroine is, primarily, a Monkey Mamma...which means that she tries to cram two weeks worth of fun into the weekends that she's not. This...was one of those weekends.

Friday night I went out with a tangent group of friends...I don't play with them very regularly, but they're awfully nice and awfully fun when I do. We went clubbing...saw John B spin (my god that guy oozes personality as well and fun music)...and generally stayed up all night (no, literally, I didn't start sleeping til around 8:30 on Saturday). My friend Ron was the man of the hour with his "I've Been Stalking You On MySpace" shirt that he got John B to sign...then he danced on a speaker while the song was playing. I think the floor was cheering as much for him as for the DJ. Thanks for the invite, dude...it was great fun.
Saturday, after the two hour disco nap and shower, I went to meet my friend TOWWAS for lunch, some much-needed girl time and a longish walk (Eastern Market to the Mall) in DC. We had yummy mango margaritas at The Banana Cafe on Barracks Row...

Thankfully, TOWWAS was very patient with my extra-sleepy self. And in the end, we both napped for awhile on a bench on the Mall....which was very nice. Well, until I had to give up and hurl myself on the nearest Metro home. Horizontal-ity was much needed at that point. :)
Continuing with the theme of jamming lots of life into a single weekend, I had at least tentative plans to have drinks with a friend last night...only I never heard from him (early morning text message aside). Highly unfortunate thing, that...in particular since we've been trying to negotiate schedules for several weeks now. Ah well...life happens as it will, I suppose. Sometimes you just have to throw up the white flag.
After a solid nine hours of sleep on one of my favorite guilty pleasures (clean sheets straight from the dryer), I woke up this morning ready to...blog, take a shower, go to Target for last minute Greece items, meet a friend for lunch and frolicking in the afternoon, go to the grocery, and be home in time to get the Monkey at 6:30.
...and I'm still on "blog."
Robin Williams' Aladdin said that being a genie was a double-edged sword: "INFINITE POWERS.....little bitty living space." Suddenly, I totally get what he was talking about!

Yeah, mango margaritas - they were definitely the way to go.
