Update-ish
So, I had an extremely busy weekend.
Saturday morning we got up extra early and headed to the farmer's market in East Liberty with my mom, grandma and friend Michelle. Got some delicious fresh foods. We snagged some huge leeks, potatoes, mushrooms, peaches, and I even got some home made super yummy hummus. Oh, and apple cider and rambo apples for dumplings later this week.
From there Zak and I headed to the Strip District. We went to Wholey's and got some calamari rings, tentacles and some crazy huge bacon. We had breakfast crepes at some tiny cafe and OH MY GOD they were so good. Haven't had good crepes in a long time. We're thinking of making visits there monthly as a tradition of YUM. Then we to Penzey;s spices and got some Cocoa, Jerk seasoning, and garlic powder. We also got some tasty cheddar popcorn from the Pittsburgh Popcorn company.
From there we went home where Zak prepared our tasty squid bits in cornmeal batter and gave them a quick fry. The I had a nice long nap and we sat around the apartment watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel until about 9.
At 9 we headed over to Oakland to meet some friends at a CMU party of great fun. I was the designated driver for the night so I hung out with all kinds of silly people and watched drunk people walk around on stilts. We (Me, Zak, Karl, Pete, Kate, Ev, & Sarah) eventually got tired of hanging around and decided we wanted to go be awesome and hang out in Frick Park. Kate and Pete decided that they actually wanted to go home and sleep so they did and Me and the rest of them all piled into the Jeep and away we went.
We went to Frick Park (the part with the blkue slide!) and everyone drank in the park and played on the swings. It was pretty much awesome. Eventually somewhere around 3 am we got tired and I drove Ev and Sarah back to the party so she could drive them home and we took Karl home since he lives like... a block away from our house. We got to bed somewhere in the neighborhood of 3:30 am ish.
Then we got up at 9 am the next morning and drove to Wierton to see his parents. From Wierton we drove to Wheeling, WV where we went to a reenactment of the Fort Henry Massacre. I bought the most epic 18th century pattern book. I love it soooo much. I also bought some sexy 18th century ladies socks. Which I am wearing now.
Then we finally got tired again and headed back to Wierton. We watched some Buffy and Angel and then went to sleep. Next morning we had filet mignon steak and eggs for breakfast. Nom. Then we drove home after I fought with his mom. We checked on the boys, (Xandar and Gryffin) who were mad at us for being gone for a day. Then we went to Melissa's house for bbq and I taught her son how to say vagina in sign language. More good food.
Then to Pizza hut where we met up with Nero folk and had lots of good conversation.
I am still exhausted and my Bachlorette party is this Saturday! AHHH!!
Crazy life.
