Snap Backs and Tattoos

Happy Bday B!

Back in April B has ventured into her 27th year. I'm glad she's able to test the waters a few months before I have to jump in!

We celebrated with a pub crawl: snap backs and tattoos were not optional.

I showed up after the party had already kicked off (I had a lot of errands to run that day) and without my snap back. Yeah, totally forgot to write that down on the errand list.

I caught up with the group at Little J's - a small bar off of Washington. B supplied the tattoo's and I got inked up. The weather was perfect so we spent most of our time on the patio hula hooping and playing Jenga.

Steady Hands Holly

After a few hours we moved to the next spot: Luke's Ice House. I really wish I would have ordered food here, but didn't think about it until B was ready to move to the next spot.

Kat got B an awesome disposable camera that added birthday boarders.

I assisted B in walking the two blocks to Brixx (which I always thought was spelt Bricks) and bought us dinner. Something super healthy and classy like hot dogs, fried pickles, and mozzarella sticks with tons of water. The food options were limited, and not tasty at all.

Dinner...seriously not tasty

I suggested that we head to the tattoo parlor to comemortae the day, but B wasn't on board.

I hung out all afternoon and decided to call it a night around 7:30...because I'm kind of lame.

Awesome & Awkward Friday

FRIDAYYYYYYY! Is here. What a wonderful week. Knocked out some good workouts. Ate less sweets than usual. Missed spin both days because I couldn't manage to get out of bed before 6:30 :( But got in a run. Steve is here in two weeks!

Linking up with Lauren to share the highlights!

• Soooooooooooo, I got Justin Timberlake tickets!

• I showed Steve how to add emojis to his phone. And then he tried to mash them up with hastaging. #fail
• Made this:

• I read ahead 4 chapters (aka finished the book). Steve promptly kicked me out of book club. Who does he think he is? AND as punishment? He refuses to finish it so we can discuss all of my negative feelings about Daisy. 
• TVD: Seriously, can we just turn Matt into a vampire? I'm so over watching him get hurt and worrying if he's going to get killed off! I have way too many emotions linked to this show, and this is just making it worse! Can't wait for the season finale next week.

Maroon 5

My first concert of 2013, and it was a good one...except for the opening acts. Owl City and Neon Trees? I don't hate, but I could have done without.

B and I had bought out tickets months ago, and as the concert got closer she lost interest and sold hers on craigslist. Should we be concerned that I didn't mind going alone? Antisocial behavior much?

Aside from looking awkward for being alone (yes, someone actually asked me if I was there by myself), it wasn't all bad. I think I just found my permanent concert partner: me! This could be great since we like all of the same music.

What is there to say about Maroon 5?

I figure that about covers it.

He was wearing a smidge more clothes during the concert.

I loved the simplicity of the stage, and the use of the screens and lights.

And they sounded soo good live! There is nothing more disappointing than the entertainer sounding different, in a bad way, than their CD.

The last week = performance week.

Remember how my hip decided to be a grandma and was catching in the socket when it rotated side to side? I went to the chiropractor after dealing with that for 6 days. I hate nothing more than having my hips worked on the chiropractor. Having pressure applied on the joint while I'm forced to rotate it is not my idea of a good time. And I'm pretty sure I'm now internally bruised. Anyway, we worked on that, and when I mentioned my knee issues he also did some work on my ankles and knees. We'll see if that helped when I attempt my next run.

Anyway, my hip feels better, but it's still catching a bit. I know that this severely handicaps my performance that did include a lot of hip work...so I'm skipping the performance.

I considered going to watch the girls, but I'm afraid they'll think I'm being a baby about my hip and then I'll feel peer pressured to prove that I'm not a baby, so I'd perform, do a bad job, and injury it further. So instead I'm skipping and will be at QLF.

Awesome & Awkward Friday

This week was a huge win compared to the last. I only cried once, and it was because of Vampire Diaries. Way better than the shit show that was April 22-26. Can someone please compel me to forget about that?

Linking up with Lauren for my weekly happs.

Awesome

• Halfway point until I Steve will be here! 3.more.weeks.
• Nick Miller finally maned up! Great New Girl ep after their rando schedule these last few weeks.
• Jam release last week. so naturally  Jess, Warren, & I had some #frontrowdomination. AND Jess loves it so much that she's been jamming with me every chance she gets!



Jess + Me + Warren

• Laura drank the #hastagkoolaid and we had our first # email convo.
• "Jam is a place where you check your morals at the door."
• I got to have a sleep over with Jess and Steven!

Awkward

• Andriod baby. That's all I will say, and I've probably said too much.
• I really wish that Vampire Diaries wouldn't release pics of future episodes. Matt's neck being snapped is not that big of a deal when I just saw a picture of him at graduation in the season finale.
• The original Red Dawn. What was that? Terrible, that's what. I feel asleep all three times that I tried to watch it. The remake was at least 100 times better. At least!
• I almost had to kick Steve out of book club for over achieving. 
• I keep managing to punch myself in the head during the Beiber song at Jam. ugh.
