Living for the Weekends
Before I have another exciting weekend, I need to catch up on the past two! Two weeks ago, my brother was still here visiting. We went downtown and a lot of different places so I could show him how we get down in Indy. We spent most of the weekend downtown. Friday night, my twin made a surpise visit to see me!!! He’s the male version of me and he’s super great. A small group of us went to Adobo for First Fridays. Saturday, during the day my brother, twin, homegirl and I took a walk around Broad Ripple (a bar district near me). That night, we thought we were high class and went to a lovely dinner at St. Elmo’s Steakhouse. It was actually affordable due to Devour Downtown where many of the expensive restaurants have set menus for $30 for 3 courses and some relatively inexpensive restaurants have 2 people for $30. Following that, we went to Jillian’s and played a couple of games before heading to the club.
Last weekend seemed like it was going to be a very lonely one. Although I did stay at home a lot, I also finally got out and did Zumba TWICE. The second instructor was much better than the first and I may eventually make it my regular gym because I love taking classes. That night I met a few friends out at a club, but it was a pretty bland evening. Sunday, I went to a cookout and another Indianapolis Indians baseball game with tickets that I won at work.
Monday, I went to the Indiana State Fair. It made me think back to the times where everyone far and wide would go to the State Fair in Detroit. Then, it was by far the highlight of the summer. The rides, elephant ears, caramel apples and most of all the pirate ship and surrounding macking and foolishness. With my dance school, I would dance at the fair every summer too! {RIP Michigan State Fair} At this one I ate a polish sausage, deep-fried mac and cheese, a liter of fresh squeezed lemonade, and deep-fried Pepsi <delish>. We saw a couple chickens and cows and watched cowboys at a rodeo. It was really crazy when a rider had to pop his shoulder back into place after falling off a bucking bronco!
Basically, my weekends are great, but I’m still doing fun stuff through the week. I work 9 hours per day not including lunch nor driving, so I need something to keep me going. I’m constantly striving to make new moves and get to the place wher I can enjoy every hour of everyday.
