Social Calendar
For some reason my social calendar spins out of control. I don't understand it, quite frankly. I mean, it's not like I'm in "demand", as it were. No, no. Mostly, I just like to socialize, it's where I gets my energy. Oh yeah.
Take this weekend, for example. Which actually started last night.
I went to the First Thursday Art Walk, which was rad, but had to cut out early because my back was killing me. It was really good, though.
Tonight after work I headed over to this bar in downtown. I know what you're all thinking, "But, Granola, you don't drink. Ever. What are you doing heading to a bar?!" Rest assured, gentle reader, I was not drinking. Well, that's not strictly true, I was not drinking alcohol. I was, rather, drinking orange juice. Why was I there in the first place? Simple. It's customary when someone leaves the company to have a gathering at a bar in the area around 5:30 on that person's last day. Well, one of the developers (who actually hasn't been in our department all that long) is leaving. So, he had a gathering. He extended the invite to me personally (as opposed to the whole group—in fact, I was the only qa he invited. Huh.), so I felt I ought to at least put in a showing. Two orange juices and four dollars later, I wished him well and ran to the door—I did, after all, have a bus to catch.
This evening I am also headed to a "Root beer Kegger—80s style." That shall prove interesting. I'm planning on having fun! Mostly, I'm going because the cute boy from church on Sunday was there to invite our ward. Deal. That's at 9:30.
At 10:30 one of my coworkers is having a Cinco de Mayo celebration. He realizes that it's actually currently the Quatro de Mayo, but something came up for him for tomorrow night, so tonight it is. However, it shall extend past midnight, thus sufficiently becoming Cinco de Mayo.
Somehow I have to hit both of these parties. I may go to the root beer kegger for a bit, then dash down to the Cinco de Mayo celebration, then back up to the root beer party, we'll have to see. I'll let you know—if I'm functioning.
Tomorrow (since we're talking weekend, here) I have a dr's appointment at 10 am for my back (oh yeah... it's a good thing I don't drink! I don't know if I'd be able to manage 10 am after a night like tonight). Then, a real Cinco de Mayo celebration that the Young Single Adult committee is putting on. They have a great! band playing! I'm excited. With any luck I'll get to see Nurse. woo.
Sunday, as you all know, is my day of rest, which means (drum roll here, please) I'm super busy, as well. Mostly just church, but sometime in there I have to prepare my Sunday School lesson. Oh, and my Visiting Teachers want to come over. Ok then.
See, I told you, my social calendar is out. of. control! I love it!
