Everyone needs a lazy weekend every now and then.
I had a SUPER lazy weekend. Partly because the Republic of Texas was having their annual Biker Rally and downtown is NOT a place I want to be when that is going on. I’ll have more pictures later, but we could see where they were setting up for Robbie Knievel was going to jump over two Budweiser semi-trucks from our office.
Riso, Stan and I actually went down there to see it up close, but I haven’t uploaded those pictures yet.
I didn’t actually see Kaptain Robbie jump the trucks because they estimated about 200,000 people to be there for it. I’m not one for crowds. Here is the video, though, in case you’re wondering what it looked like.
Other than that, I spent time with my family and watched LOST all weekend. Also, I’m getting more into reading again. I’ve forgotten how nice it is to read for pleasure as opposed to for a class. I’m attempting to read A Widow for One Year by John Irving again.
I say “again” because I’ve gotten sidetracked the last couple of times I’ve tried to read it.
Annie-Lee and I went to go see Up this weekend and it was good! I really loved it.
It had a great message PLUS it was hilarious! People told me that I was going to bawl when I saw it, but I just teared up a bit. “I was hiding under the porch because I love you.”
Also, Albert called me shortly after we got back to the apartment and told me to meet him and his friends at Trudy’s for a couple of drinks. Who am I to say no to hanging out? I like his friends because it’s not super awkward. Y’know, you’re the “new” person in a group of friends (and this is a group of five boys, mind you) that has known each other for a long time/are pretty close and it could be weird and you could feel out of place, but that doesn’t really happen with them. They always include me in conversations and ask me questions, etc. Point is, I had a good time. Plus I haven’t seen any of them since school let out, so it was nice to catch up a little. AND I do like hanging out with just boys. They’re just easier to talk to sometimes.
