I was not even able to meet the once a day posting for a week.
So what happened on the weekend?
Well, I went golfing. For those who don't know, I am not, by any means, a golfer. This was the first time to have ever gone, and I enjoyed the hell out of it, though I wussed out by hole 16 and just hung around with darby and our friend adam (adam is the reason we went golfing. He and his lady are going to get married this weekend and he got a trip to the golf course at a fancy country club as a gift, and was gracious enough to let us come. Side note: Adam got a job at the country club, so there may be more golfings in the future) while they finished the course.
I came home sunburned and sore in muscles that I didn't even know existed, but I had a great time and will do it again, if the opportunity comes up.
Also decided that at least once a month I will do something that is either new, outdoors, or both. Stagnating inside is a bad thing.
Anyway, back to the trip. Once golf was over, took adam and z out to a little hole in the wall chinese restaurant called China Inn.
The service was spectacular, the food was well above par (well, golfing weekend. below par? Whatever translates to tasty.) and msg free. (their menu claimed it was msg free, and I saw no reason to doubt them. However, take my recommendation at your own risk. ) Best of all, there was hardly anything on their menu that cost more than $10 (most closer to $6) and they didn't skimp on the portions. Three of us left with pretty heft to-go boxes, and we made fun of the 4th for eating so much, though admittedly, he had a long hungry day. I would give it a 4.7 out of 5
One short drive from SA later, that pretty much brought saturday to a close.
Well, except for an almost run to the beauty bar (the ladies went, I passed, because I was about to pass out) and a disney sing along with the kiddos (roommate's friends, I don't actually have kids) that cumulated in a little too much flashing for my taste.
That brings us to Sunday.
Sunday was a breakfast brunch at lambert's for another friend's birthday. The ladies got her pretty gifts, and the rest of us just ate a bunch of fancy bbq brunch.
Lambert's review: The food was good, but the bbq suace was a little sweet for my taste, and by the end of the meal, everything tasted pretty sugary, including the baked mac and cheese. The wait staff was polite, though only marginally attentive, and rather distant. The hostess seemed to be unable to gasp the concept that a large party would want to sit together, and sat us at one table/booth, and one round table with 2 empty table in between. All that said, the french toast was amazing. 3.9/5
The rest of the day was devoted to looking at houses (which led to a frustrating monday) and star wars battle front, which was fun but frustrating, and will probably lead to an old school review later.
Today was my first day of working 8-5, a transition I'm making for school. Most of work falls under the hush-hush umbrella (not because of any actual work I'm doing, just because I work for a company that likes to keep things hushed up) so I'll leave it that.
Spent any spare seconds I had today rushing around trying to get all the stuff needed for the loan pre-approval so that me an the lady can make an offer on one of the houses we saw sunday. It seemed like everything we gave them led to more stuff being needed, and I hope we can work it out before someone else snatches it up.
After work was grocery shopping, dishes, laundry, dinner, my pre-assignment for my distance learning, trying to secure my book for my classroom class, and then blogging. Today was a busy, frustrating, and productive day.
So goodnight blog-o-sphere, let's hope tomorrow brings good things for all of us.
