The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread
19 April 2009 @ 06:05 pm
Since Tuesday, so much has happened! I have no idea how I fit it all in...or how I'll be able to keep it up once the new job starts! ;)

Wednesday morning, got up and worked out with the Pantswife. Had another day with the new client...I doubt this will last much longer. I'm feeling too spread thin with time. :( I talked to some good peeps on the phone, which was nice. Met up with the Pantswife to take things to donate at Savers. She ended up locking her keys in her car (doh!) but luckily, she has AAA. I really need to get that!

I was talking on the phone with T-Mobile, trying to negotiate a new cell phone and/or plan, but the rep didn't know her head from a hole in the ground. I told her I'd call back at a later date. I should almost do that now. Back to Wednesday, the guy with the magic device was "totally fucking me with his eyes" according to Jess. I kinda noticed, but it was more like "You are creepy and staring at me--stop it."

After the lock out incident, I ran some errands. Got many tasty noms at the grocery, so that makes me happy. SPW was ok. I hate to say it, but I'm happy to see it coming to a close for the season. Things just aren't right in their new location. :( Fear not, for they will start back up in the fall! :)

Jerry totally brought me another mug! I <3 my mug collection! This one is a coconut. It's a different finish than they used to have, though. It's matte instead of shiny. I like it, though. :)

Thursday, I totally got to sleep in, which was a nice change of pace. I wish we had gotten up just a slight bit earlier, though, because Jerry's call totally got towed. Fucking street sweepers. >:( We had originally intended to have a Calhoun picnic, walk, and scoot, but the fates decided otherwise. We had our picnic on the front lawn of my apartment building, then I loaded him up on the back of the scooter and hit the Minneapolis Impound Lot.

Two hundred dollars later, we headed back to my place. Jerry didn't get as much done on his resume stuff as he should have, but I can't say I blame him. What a total bummer! We sat about the house for a bit, then he headed home to Arden B, and I followed shortly thereafter on the scooter. I found a really nice way to get where I need to go without having to deal with Lake Street. Yay!

We had a very relaxing evening of playing video games and watching shows until it was time to head to Mady's. I am so sad to say that I lived in CH for over 12 years and had NEVER been there! I always used to go bowling at the place in the Central Plaza. Can't remember the name...oh well. I can honestly say I'll be going back to Mady's again soon. Great fries, good atmosphere, and nice people working there. :) We had a very lovely scoot back to Arden B to turn in for the night.

Friday, I got up at the ass crack of dawn (9:30) and headed back to Minneapolis for some workings out. I didn't leave as early as I wanted to, so no time for breakfast. :( I won't be making that mistake again! We had a very tasty lunch of quesadillas left over from Monday. I still have the makings, and I really need to feed them to someone before the cheese goes bad. Any takers? :)

I mostly bummed about the house and caught up on internet stuff. Uploaded more pictures, but there are more new ones every day. It feels like such an overwhelming project sometimes! I'm uploading even MORE right now! :P Check out [info]sbj_photos for a selection that I like!

I was going to meet up with Brandy and JD at Altered Esthetics, but I got there too early. Totally should have called before I left! I had to be at [info]pixiecup's place at 9, so I headed home for some dinner and Wii. :)

It was a beautiful night out, so I walked to her place. I didn't think I'd be staying over night, so I didn't scoot. Next time, I totally will. :) I stayed up till at least 2, playing DS (thanks for the magic card, Jerry!), reading books, and writing letters. Many of you will be the lucky recipients of these letters. Watch your post boxes! :D

Saturday, got up around 9 or so. Loaded up my stuff, walked home, and got on the scooter. I looked for a post box the ENTIRE walk back to my place, as well as the drive to Tiff's. No dice. Why are post boxes so friggin' scarce these days?! >:( It wasn't a total disaster, however, because I ran into a postal worker downtown! She totally took my stack of letters and put them in her van. SO great!

Got my ASS handed to me by Jessica's FINE ASS personal trainer friend. He made the whole deal manageable. :P I'm looking forward to more cardio exercises. I think I've worked my way up to that. I could do most of it, so that felt good. I'm paying for it today though!

Post working out, we went to Noodles for some Japanese Pan Noodles. So tasty! We hit up Trader Joe's for some cheap wine and tasty noms. I got a new wine key, too! It's much nicer than my old one. :) Met up with Crystal, Bertine, Zach and Warr at the best spot in Minneapolis. I <3 my friends. :)

Got a little tipsy sitting at the lake, which was probably a bad idea. We dropped Crystal off, then stopped at our respective homes to get ready to go out for the girl's night! The Legion was DEAD, which was good and bad. I was pretty freakin' drunk (of which I am NOT proud--I'm actually rather embarrassed and disappointed in myself), so I'm glad there were few opportunities to do dumb shit. :/ It was good, though, because that means we got to sing. A LOT! I want to go again to sing! I'm sure my singing sucked SO HARD, but it was still fun. :)

Poor Jerry came to collect my drunk ass on his scooter. I'm so lucky to have had him taking care of me in my sorry state. I really felt like an ass this morning, but I'm glad he hasn't run away just yet. ;) I sincerely hope to eat more next time, so as not to be so godawful gone by the time I see him. *facepalm*

Sunday, got up and headed Downtown. I had glorious plans to work out, go to a Twins game, and get out to enjoy my day! Unfortunately, it was raining outside, I was sore as a mo-fo after the boxing class yesterday, and slightly hung over. I'm happy to report that much of the soreness and all of the hangover are gone. :)

Jerry and I bummed about the house. Made breakfast/lunch, and he watched me play video games while he wrestled with his website stuff. I got to try out Mario Galaxies and Elebits on the Wii. I'm not writing them off just yet, but they will definitely take some getting used to. He really likes watching me play, or having me watch him. I agree, that for the most part, video games are great group activities, even if only one person is playing. :)

That leaves us where we are now. Jerry left a bit ago on his scooter, to head to church and do his Sunday stuff. I'm doing a load of laundry, and walking my ass out the door in a few to meet Crystal at the grocery. It's BIG MAGICAL BURRITO night at SPS! Can't wait!

The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread
15 April 2009 @ 12:12 am
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
