Good times were had by all
So the last few days? FABULOUS.
I got a great start to the weekend on Thursday night when I met losingntrnslatn , smacky30 , and mingsmommy for dinner in Denver at a Moroccan restaurant. I'd never had Moroccan food before, but it was GOOD. It was a wonderful combination of sweet and spicy. The service was excellent and it was just a very pleasant atmosphere.
Now I'd met losingntrnslatn once before. but I'd never met smacky30 and mingsmommy in real life. On my way to the restaurant I'd gotten real nervous. I'm always a little scared of meeting people from the online world. Not for common sense reasons like will they beat me, rob me, throw me in the back of a car and kill me, and then do strange things to my body afterward? I only had a few seconds of that thought ;)
No, I was thinking please don't let me a giant, socially awkward dork. I always hope I don't make fool out of myself, and not say anything stupid. But they throw me on the street so I assume it went well.
Miss LiT was her usual funny, incredibly intelligent self. She had a lot of great stories and is generally awesome because she is proud to be a geek.
Smacky is so funny and so sweet. She is really nice, but definitely does not take any kind of crap! She's someone I'd definitely want on my side in a fight. But she certainly embodies that Southern firecracker charm.
Ming is just all kinds of sweetness and just made of awesomesauce. I got the biggest hug from her than I'd received from anyone in a long time. That made my week. It was really nice to put a face to the name I'd been chatting with for a while. But yeah, she's just too wonderful for words.
It was really a terrific evening; I was only sorry we all couldn't have hung out longer.
Friday I met some friends for dinner and had a much needed beer and burger. We then saw "Easy A" which was hysterical. If you love sarcasm, you'll love this movie. Oh, but you can't be uptight about religion being dogged too. Definitely one I'll be buying on DVD.
Saturday was uneventful. I slept in until about 9 which is late for me. I lounged around for most of the day until I finally decided to go to my parents' house to drop off some stuff from my housesitting venture. I very timidly approached the scale as I'd being feeling fatter lately and found some jeans fitting more snug. But much to my delight I'd lost some weight!! I celebrated...by getting Chipotle. I know, I know, counterproductive, but it was Saturday night and I had a gift card. So I had Chipotle and Watched Big Bang Theory Season 3. It was a good night to me.
Sunday I met with my best friend and went shopping. I got a few books while she bought out the stores. We saw "Easy A" but it was just as funny the second time around. There was Starbucks and Dairy Queen thrown in, but calories don't count when you hang with friends.
Then yesterday, I had dinner at my co-worker's house and got to hang with my little number 1 fan. Yes he's four, but he always wants me to sit next to him and play with him so he's good for my ego. She made Cincinnati Chili which is always, always good. And then we took her son for a bike ride and headed out for more Starbucks. Another great night.
So yeah, things have been going well so far. I think the medication is making a difference. I'm staring to feel like my old self again. Not 100%, but getting there
