I definitely failed to reach my goal last week, but it’s another week and another chance for me. Hopefully I will improve. J
This weekend I was part of a surprise birthday celebration for my friend Erin, a coworker at Urban. It was quite fun – perhaps not as much for poor Erin, who was subjected to a 45-minute, blindfolded ride in the van. Meanwhile, I was busy cleaning my room and bed, which is no easy feat, making a Funfetti cake, and cutting up veggies for some epic sandwiches.
At last the birthday girl arrived, and the festivities began! Of course, we spent half of lunch talking about the kids from work and entertaining my brother with imitations of the children. When together, the four of us (Danielle, Erin, Mari, and myself) struggle to speak of anything except the children; work is the main thing we have in common, so naturally we exchange stories of cute/annoying kids.
We spent the afternoon at Gruene, the historic district for New Braunfels. Despite residing in NB for almost two years, I had not yet spent an afternoon in Gruene. Quite frankly, I never quite understood the charm or the draw of the place; then again, I’m not generally one for moseying around and admiring clothes five times too expensive for me. However, it turns out that wandering around with friends and trying on silly hats is FUN. ;)
We came home for a bit, and the girls fell asleep on our couches, which was quite entertaining. Ten we dressed up and headed out again. I spent about 10 minutes preparing for the night out – I’d applied makeup once already, brushed my hair in the morning, and considered myself ready. ;)
We ate at the Gristmill after a long but pleasant wait. They provided live music and we provided the Phase 10 cards, so the time passed rather quickly. At last we were seated, and I sampled chicken fried steak, which, despite my professed vegetarianism, I found to be quite tasty.
Then, Erin ordered a strawberry shortcake dessert, and, like good friends, we helped her eat it.
