this weekend was such a blast!
i haven't had a weekend this jam-packed and this much fun in a while. it was just one fun thing after another.
on friday night, me, michael, annie and jared went to maggie paino's 25th birthday karaoke party at the office lounge. we ate some fried snacks, had some drinks, and become best buds with the lady running karaoke. we bonded over swear words and standing on chairs. we also talked about awesome karaoke songs we could sing, but actually had to leave before we got a chance to sing any of them, but that's ok. oh and, maggie made us cookie treat bags for coming to her party!
after the bday party, annie and i headed over to pour house so she could do a quick acoustic set with rodeo. they dedicated a song to me.
after that, we headed over to a college party house for a prayer breakfast basement show. it was a total raging party! and prayer breakfast played a really good, fun set. we chanted GTL (gym, tan, laundry) and pretzel rods (like the kind you eat). but, i did forget to wear my slutty-hipster-party clothes.
on saturday, annie, jennie, and i went to bedford to go thrifting, antique-ing, kmart-ing, and jcpenny-ing. it was so great. the kmart and jcpenny were kind of a let down (and their casa brava has vengeful waiters), but i think overall, bedford is a pretty underrated town. they have some pretty great antique/thrift stores and really nice houses that are super affordable (who wants to move to bedford??). we went to aunt kate's, where annie got a nice trunk, then to the elegant lady, and then to bufford's emporium, where i got a pitcher and wash basin (that i absolutely do not need) for only $10!
in between our daytime activities and night time partying, annie and i started watching love actually. say what you will, but i really enjoy that movie.
saturday night me, annie, dave and jennie headed over to the pine room tavern in nashville to see the best cover band ever. the pine room tavern is awesome. i definitely wouldn't mind going back sometime soon. it has a very nice ambiance, good food, and great tunes. oh, and it also had some other great forms of entertainment... namely drunk 40 year-old ladies.
and finally, on sunday, i got to hang-out with carrie and colleen in indy, with our good friend alyssa. it was so great to see her! i do wish we could have seen her under better circumstances (her dad is at the IU med center), but it was great nonetheless. we ate some good grub at au bon pain, laughed, and caught up.
man, what a GREAT weekend. good friends, good food, good times!

this post is brought to you in part by nathan vollmar...
...inspiring bloggers all over the bloomington area (fist pump).
the other night, i was gchatting (chatting on gmail, hence gchatting. i know that some people really hate the term "gchatting", but i just love it. so, i am going to use it as many times as possible in this post) with my good friend nathan. i was gchatting it up with him just to say hey and to comment on his visibility (and to say "i wanna get visible, visible", but i didn't quite get around to it). while we were gchatting, he really gave me the business and told me how it was. he said "you need to update your blog. you are falling behind!" and i replied with "but my life has been so lame lately" and he said "it really has. but, that will change once you update your blog."
other friends had mentioned that i was in the midst of a blog slump, but that nathan vollmar, he is just such a straight shooter that i just had to listen and heed his advice.
so, that is exactly what i am doing. pulling myself out of this slump, one blog at a time. and hopefully adding a little excitement to my life while i'm at it.
i don't have a ton to say (well, i guess that's not true. i can say a whole lot about nothing. see above.) due to my repetitive existence lately-- work, practicum, homework, say hello to michael, eat, sleep, repeat. but, i did get an awesome snowday on monday, so i will tell you all of the awesome things i did.
- had lunch at bucceto's with michael, frank, and scott
- bought new boots at wal-marts
- saw sherlock holmes with michael and zack
- went to gaby's birthday party with michael, frank, zack, and scott
- bought a new dvd player at best buy with michael, frank, zack, and scott
(tried to convince boys to stop by annie & jared's for some fun, but they were complaining of headaches and diarrhea. babies.)
- gchatted with megan, soos, and nathan and was inspired to write this blog
ah, snowdays. i wish i could have more of them, but unfortunately, i work for an establishment that has a moral obligation to be open for business, no matter what the circumstances.
