I last left off, dear friends, on Tuesday in the late afternoon/early evening hours.

Post Abilene's tequila class, I met up with the Wifey and DCK for some laundry action. I <3 Rainbow Laundry in Uptown SO HARD. The people who run it are so sweet and the place is really comfy to hang out. We had tasty Chipotle for dinner, and a great time getting rid of unnecessary items. I totally got rid of so many shirts that reminded me of D and some assorted household items that reminded me of someone else. It's mega spring cleaning time in my world--stay tuned for a totally emo post about everything that's happened in the span of the last 365 days. Those posts aren't limited to New Year's. ;)

Wednesday, the Wifey and I got up and did our usual morning work out, coupled with a tasty lunch. I think this is the day that all I really had to eat was peanut butter sammiches. I really need some sammich meat. :P It was another successful SPW. We had Raw Food as the theme, and Ryan made us sushi! We are so spoiled. :)

Thursday, had another lovely work out with the Wifey. I love being active! I can definitely feel it when I haven't been keeping it up. Plus, it's been great that we get there when nobody else is there, so I can watch TCM. I <3 old movies! My last shift at the Vesc was nice, I made some good tips, and got the eff out of dodge. This was the day that Jerry found out about his job letting him go. I had hoped to meet up with him, but he had something going on in Saint Paul, so I decided to go home. As per my usual, I didn't stay home long--I was too antsy to stay in. The Wifey and DCK met up with me at Plan B for some late night beverages and gabbing. So great are my friends!

Friday, got up super early and worked out with Ryan! That was a surprising turn of events. I think he overdid it a bit on the machines and the lifting. I hope he keeps it up so it gets easier and less hard on his muscles. I know I had to get over that initial week or so before my body stopped complaining. I hopped on the scooter and headed up to el Arden B. Had a very lovely lazy Friday, learning how to play Beautiful Katamari (that I now can't wait to play again!) and watching movies. Jerry and I had a wonderful dinner of chicken, veggies, bread and Lambic. Many episodes of my favorite British comedy were watched while imbibing said Lambic.

Saturday, slept in until noon, maybe noon-thirty. Had a lovely breakfast at 2:30 on a sunny porch. Bummed about the Arden B, then headed to see the Roller Girls. It was a very exciting bout, and I'm anticipating seeing many more next season! I'm still sad about Savage Animal breaking her leg. I hope she recovers soon. :) Brandy, JD, Carrie, Jerry and I went to the 331, only to decide it was too crowded. We substituted the Knight's Cap for a round of beverages post-bout. We ended up back at Brandy and JD's place for some late night Venture Brothers. I can't wait to see the first two seasons so that season 3 will make more sense. :P

Sunday, got up at the crack of dawn to head back to Minneapolis. I got to Tiff's place FAR too early, so I chilled with Pixie and Daphne for a bit before disturbing Tiff's beauty sleep. ;) Worked out with the Wifey, had some lunch, then bummed about the house doing laundry and the likes until it was time for SPS. SPS was fairly short-lived this time around. I'm sadly anticipating this coming to a close for the season. I think a lot of us (myself included) aren't enjoying the venue change, as well as the SEASON change--it's totally time for outside activities! :) Jess, Bertine and Zach came over for an Easter nightcap. Good times were had by all.

Monday, got up for a workout with the Pantswife, then off to my first day with my new client. It's...interesting. We'll leave it at that. I went on a very cathartic scoot around town. Procured tasty dinner items (read: ROCK YOUR FACE OFF MEXICAN FOOD!) from may locations around town. I rocked everyone's faces off at Amanda's for some bitchin' board game goodness. I'm still aching to play more Amanda-fam House Rules UNO. It was so much fun! Jerry came over and fixed my computer. I think we got rid of 15 gigs of stupid crap that was crapping up my computer. It's still not running terribly fast, but it's a start.

Today, being Tuesday, got up and went for a workout downtown. I love that we've been keeping this up on a regular basis! :D Met up with Jerry and the Wifey and had a low-key workout. I drank too much water and got a little sick twice. :( Had another day with the new client...yeah. Went on yet another cathartic scoot about the town. Keep your eyes peeled for pictures! Post-scoot, met up with DCK over here so I could take a shower and change clothes. Went to the Wifey's place for an epic girl's night. DCK, Wifey and Bertine were all in attendance. We had many good foods, chats and laughs. I <3 my girls.

That leaves us where we are right now. Tired, sore, in need of a back rub, maybe a beer. Unfortunately, I have none cold, so it will have to be a Jynnan Tonnyx if I do decide on a beverage other than water. I have many pictures to get through from the last two days. I think you'll like what you see.

<3

Today, I got my third "random guy at the bar" drink.

I had just hopped off the 21, hoping to catch a 4 to go home. We were stuck at the light and the 4 drove off. Effing bus, being 2 minutes early. :P The next bus was coming in about 15 minutes, so I hopped on over to Moto-i to see if James was working at the bar. James used to work at Vescio's when I started, and recently, he re-located to bartend at Moto-i. I also wanted to check out their happy hour menu. :)

Lo and behold, he was there! He only had one customer, a random guy sitting at the bar, getting progressively drunker as the minutes progressed. I talked to James for a minute about the menu, and I guess it's changing TOMORROW! They will have another sake on the menu (#4 out of their hopeful 9 varieties) and they will tailor the menu by taking away items that aren't selling, and adding some new ones.

He said that my first drink was on him, so I ordered a beer. They have some really awesome local beers. The guy tried to convince me that I should drive his truck to MY place, and then he could "take it from there".

Erm, no thanks. If I hadn't had a bus transfer already, I would have bought one...or walked...or SOMETHING. I was not feeling driving Drunky McDrunkpants home. Bleh.

The other two drinks that random people at bars have bought me have been decidedly less exciting. The first was a friend of my dad's at Kieran's downtown with Tiff. The second was a drunk guy at The Local on his birthday with Michelle. Why don't more random HOT guys buy girls drinks at bars? :P

View Answers

you wanna come to my totally awesome themed hotel room party?
6 (85.7%)

you wanna come to my cabin for the 4th of July?
1 (14.3%)



Next question would be is it really possible to get tickets the day of? Or am I totally screwed at this point?

Next (and last) question--what costumes can I throw together easily/cheaply? Or would walking around in skimpy clothes with my Yoda tattoo hanging out suffice? :P
