Girls just wanna have fun
What a delightfully busy weekend! As much fun as I had, I’m looking forward to a much tamer Memorial Day weekend. W00t for three-day weekends!
I started my weekend right with a trip to the Giants game with Jacki. It would have been even better had they held the lead and won but instead we had to be content with our yummy dinners for carnitas nachos and a bacon-wrapped dog [oh yeah, I went for that one again] and our traditional cup of hot chocolate in the fifth inning and a churro. So yummy. Especially when you dunk that puppy into the hot chocolate.
On Saturday I hosted a special edition of Spanish Club in honor of Akilah’s bachelorette party at the house. My mom was kind enough to make a bounty of Korean food and the girls came over for some good eating and then a trip down to North Oakland for karaoke.
We went to Jaguar Karaoke since they had private rooms [in the style of a Noh-rae-bang] and it was a pretty cool set up. We all sung to our hearts content, even Vattey, who wasn’t feeling too well. It was definitely a lot of fun and while it is more fun in front of random strangers at a karaoke bar, at least we knew we’d be able to hit the stage and had multiple goes. Can’t guarantee that at any bar. Plus, we were able to belt out with minimal embarrassment. Even when you’re singing along to Britney Spears and Taylor Swift [yes, both me].
Sunday was impossibly hot to deal with. After getting home late after karaoke, I was up early to teach Sunday school to a group of hyperactive kids. Just a side note, but is it horrible to be mad at birds? I know they’re God’s creation and all but for the love of all that is holy why do they have to chirp so freakin’ loud? I had to close my window even though it was hot just so I could sleep! /rant. Thankfully Denita was able to help corral them because I was thisclose to taking them back downstairs to sit in silence. They are always a little tougher to handle when they’re sugared up on syrup. Serenity now indeed. I had a quick art project to go along with the story where they would be making props out of Play-Doh…yeah, I dropped that idea the moment I saw them wriggling around. It would have been utter chaos had I even brought out those cans of Play-Doh.
At least I got to return it to Target afterwards.
So Sunday afternoon was another scorcher. It was too hot to do anything else but sleep so that’s pretty much what I did until it cooled down enough to function. After some errands that included picking up dinner since I didn’t want to cook [I know I had leftovers but I had decided to eat that for lunch and well, sometimes there is such a thing as too much of a good thing], I relaxed the rest of the night. Such is life eh?
