It Just Keeps Getting Better!

This weekend was seriously one of the BEST weekends I have had in a long time! The thing that makes it the best is that everything was last minute and random :)

Friday night my roommate and I found ourselves in a cigar bar. Never have been to one, and would have normally thought that I would be sitting in a hot ashtray-like bar filled of smoke and sweaty men. It was actually pretty decent and everyone there is so chill. We met a friend there after he had told me that him and a buddy needed an entourage. That was only the beginning to a good night.

Next we decided to go to a different bar, until we randomly decided to go to this Hole-in-the-wall white trash bar called the Beacon instead. My roommate may have not enjoyed herself as much as she would have at a frat bar, but I think the shittier the better! I had an awesome time and it was so nice to catch up with someone that I haven't seen since last October. Rekindled friendships are good...especially when you feel completely at ease when you see them again. It was great to be around people who could totally care less what the hell you do or say and just let loose. I was pulled out on the dancefloor to dance with him, but he surely showed my ass up. Guess my daddy didn't teach me ALL the moves when it comes to country dancin! Virgo-Boy (the new friend that has the same birthday as me...ironic) was accompanied by an ink-toothed crack head in a puuurrrrdddyyy red dress. Lady in Red she was! The night had to end but that was just for Friday night.

Saturday night I decided to take this girl that I have been tutoring out to dinner for some REAL American food. She is Korean and has always wanted to go to Famous Daves. I gathered along some friends and we all headed to the South side of town for some good fixins! It was a blast...we were all laughing about the most ridiculous stuff and My Tutoree had a good time too. She has only been in the U.S. for 2 months and her English is better than I thought. I was originally supposed to help her with speaking for her test coming up, but we have found ourselves just meeting up to talk about normal every-day life things. This tutoring thing developed into a friendship and it feels good to help someone understand her surroundings. I always tell her "I DON'T WANT YOUR MONEY!" So whenever we meet up on campus it's just fun to talk.

Later that night my good friends and I went to a country bar called Uncle Ron's. Now, this is no ordinary bar...this litterally will make you feel like you are on vacation in the heart of the promise land with cowboys and cowgirls who just got done bailin' hay and are ready for some two-steppin'! None of my friends know how to country dance, but the 10 of us or so were watching others and some had random dance partners. Rangin from old men to switchin off between eachother, everyone danced with eachother. Boy did we look like a bunch of hooligans out there, but it was something we have never done before and it felt good. CHANGE IS GOOD!

Oh, one thing that I find very comical: My one roommate had her eye on this cowboy all night. He was wearing a pink button-up and tight ass wrangler jeans. My other roommate showed up near the end and sure enough the cowboy asked the late-comer to dance. The eye-baller was furious and said "I'm not gunna let that ruin my night!" lol We all know she was pissed.

Finally for Sunday...It was one of my best friend's baby showers today. I drove back home to Iowa to see her and give her her gifts. It was sooooo good to see everyone, especially since she is 7 months pregnant and I haven't even seen her since before! It's crazy how people look so different when they are pregnant. Almost like an entire different person!

This weekend was well worth it. I wish things like this could happen more often :)
