Weekend Salvaged
Well dear readers, my weekend didn’t turn out nearly as bad/boring as my Friday post might have led you to believe. Eric came back into town at around 9 or 10 and we went out for late dinner at Jerusalem, a great Mediterranean restaurant in Denver. Eric has been living in Denver for pretty much his whole life so he knows a lot of tasty and interesting food places, which is good because with someone as indecisive as me, I need someone who can throw out suggestions like that.
On Saturday Shaw picked me up (because I was still sans car) and we grabbed brunch (mmm, breakfast burritos) and went shoe/glove shopping. He was looking for running shoes; I was looking for better ski gloves (ones with huge cuffs so my dainty little wrists don’t get cold). I finally got a call from the car place (actually, I harassed them a couple of times) and found out that I not only needed a new tire, but I also needed my alignment redone (and I’d just did that in January!). Oh well…that’ll teach me to attack a curb. Shaw was kind enough to drop me off at the car place and when I got home I parked a foot and half away from the curb (not kidding).
Eric came back from an exhausting day of skiing on Saturday night, so we stayed in and watched a movie. Although we’d talked about hitting the slopes on Sunday, he didn’t feel like making the drive again and I was fully amenable to sleeping in. After some breakfast at Handlebar (a bar 4 blocks from his house with yummy mimosas…hey, it was 5:00 somewhere), we did a little shopping (I finally got my settings corrected on iTunes on my new computer thanks to the geniuses at the Apple store), and finished off the afternoon with some Frisbee and catch in the park (turns out I don’t throw THAT bad and I blame the wind for a lot of things).
Since Sundays are often my days to hang out with Sar, I rushed home so we’d actually have time to do something. We ended up shopping at Whole Foods, making chili and cinnamon rolls back at my place (well I did most of it, but she did add a secret ingredient into the chili…cayenne pepper! We girls like it spicy), and finishing off the evening with Superbad (yeah, all you that told be before were right…hilarious! HI-LARIOUS).
A grand weekend all around, aside from the car troubles (thank goodness that didn’t happen during the week…again). Tonight I’m making dinner for Eric…hopefully I haven’t grossly over-exaggerated my cooking skills :)
