Weekends Rule... Mondays Drool!

Oh my, how fast the weekend seems to fly by! I typically wake up very grumpy on Monday mornings but seeing as this week is a short week with the Thanksgiving holiday, it's SORTA like tommorrow is Wed and we all know that Wed is my favorite day of the week so I have a feeling I am not going to be Miss McGrumplegus tomm. Yay, cause I actually hate being in a grumpy mood! :-)
My Saturday turned out to be pretty much worthless considering I was so hungover. I had fully intended on heading to this bar out in the Marina to watch the IU/Purdue game with my friend Courtney. However, neither of us was feeling up to full form so we decided to flake. I took this opportunity to catch up on some ridic tv shows and snooze on the couch for the remainder of the afternoon. Kevin had gone to some networking/panel shindig so we decided to have a little dinner date when he got home. I love doing date nights every once in a while. Especially since it seems like we hardly ever get to see each other between our work schedules and whatnot. We tried this cute lil Italian joint not to far from our place. It was yummy! And we actually had quite a bit to chat about since we hadn't been around each other much lately. (What?! You know how sometimes when your together all the time, you run out of things to talk about! :-)) Anyhoo, we decided to come home after dinner and I zonked out on the couch. A wild couple, yes, that we are!
Anyhoo we had plans this morning to meet Kevin's old professor and mentor from college who was in town for some business. It's funny, we've met up with him in every city we've lived in. Kevin was in the NSMH Society in college which I think stands for national society of minorities in hospitality and he's somehow managed to remain in close contact with him for quite a few years now. He brought his 6 year old son with him who is this absolutely adorable little boy and he is sooo smart. Seriously, the kid can do multiplication and he's in the 1st grade. THE. FIRST. GRADE! I'm impressed. We met up with the two of them and this other girl that was in the same society as Kevin and we went to this delicious (actually delicious is an understatement!!) place for brunch. It's called Mama's and I had heard many good things about it before. Oh. my. gosh. The food was unbelievable. I had this apple yogurt and cinnamon french toast. So darn good. It was well worth the 2 hour wait. (I know. Insane!)
I really wanted to purchase a bike this weekend so KS and I decided to zipcar it out to Wal-Mart in Oakland. Ok, have you ever heard that Oakland is really ghetto??? Well. It is! Hella ghetto. I am so thankful that Louis and I came out alive. It was quite an effing process too getting this bike home by the way. We purchase one of the bikes already put together but we couldn't seem to get it into 'Spena' so I had to return it and get one in a box. Awesome. Now I need to figure out how to put together a bike! Aye aye aye! PS, In case you were wondering Spena is a volvo. I still like Carlye the best. She's a toyota corolla but you have to walk quite a few blocks to pick up Carlye and Spena lives in the garage in our building so convenience was the deciding factor. Sorry Carlye! I also enjoyed my first In'n'Out experience out in Oakland. It was good. We got a strawberry milkshake to share for our ride back into the city and listen to this... the amount of calories in a small little milkshake is like more than the cheeseburger/ff combined. So after seeing that, I decided to take only two sips of said milkshake. Sorry inner fat kid but your ass will thank you in the morning.
Ahh, a good relaxing weekend full of drinks, food and fun. Cheers for now and see you again in only 3 days, YAY! :-)
