The BG and I had a somewhat long weekend that started last Thursday. After work, we went and had dinner at Vegetarian House and then hopped over to Berbati’s to see The National. My legs and feet were killing me the whole show, but I had a great time; they were fantastic. (And it was the closest I’ve ever stood to a band and not had any sort of reaction. Wooo!)

Friday I had a half day so I brought him to work. M says it was “Bring Your BG To Work Day”. Indeed.

I picked up my motorcycle, which looks fantastic (I’ll post a pic later) and then we got ready for a movie night out… Ratatouille and Sicko. :) :) :) Beforehand we ate at Van Hahn, a vegan Vietnamese place on 82nd and Division, near the theater. Both movies were good, Sicko made me mad, really, just as all Michael Moore’s movies do. I think it might have led me to buy this book.

Saturday we nerded out for a while, then went to see Body Worlds at OMSI. It was really amazing, despite the very subtle nauseating feeling I had during the entire exhibition. (Dude, these were *real* people…) After the BG cooked us some awesome food and then mooching some other awesome food from the roommates, we went to the Back Stage and then over to Ararat with Serena and Mark (gooooo new friends!).

More nerding occurred on Sunday and eventually the BG made a kick ass pasta salad (I’m usually not a fan, but his was really good) and vegan chocolate raspberry scones (which were gone just hours later). I re-potted some of the plants he gave me and then we settled in downstairs for a movie (Happy Feet) with M and J. :)

This morning the BG slept in a teeny bit and then left for work. When I got up a couple hours later I found two notes.

It’s getting closer, I know. Yesterday was the start of July, and in one month (which lately has felt like one breath’s length), I will be gearing up for goodbyes. We’re both feeling it. Saying “I’m going to miss him” doesn’t even begin to explain how I feel.

But at least we have unlimited MMS messaging. :)
