Double Duty

Continuing the trend of having an entertaining, if busy, social life at the weekends, i found myself with two parties to attend today - the former - a grill-out (BBQ) and ongoing party from about 5pm to celebrate the birthday of a friend and workmate (one of the MD PhD students here) and the latter - a graduation/farewell party to a good friend (the one who used to live in my apartment) who has now obtained her MD and is heading off to NYC to do residency. Although both invites said that neither food nor drink was necessary to bring, not wanting to look like a skinflint, alcohol was purchased and snacks were made (by my own fair hands i should add). Also, and fortunately for me, both parties were within walking distance of my house - and so it would be relatively easy for me to hop from one to the other.

Anyway, both parties were great fun for various reasons - the first because it was a continuous battle to keep the grill burning long enough for late arrivals to cook on, and also cause there was some homemade sangria - nuff said. The second party was pretty good too - again, good food, drink and company - and also cause i was feeling slightly tipsy by that point. Suffice to say, fresh air and a walk home would've been the order of the day (apart from the fact that friends insisted on giving me a ride). Is it any surprise, then, that i slept in on Sunday???
