Whopper of a weekend

Okay, I realize that I have gone a little longer between posts than I had hoped, but you gotta crawl before you can walk.

But just be glad I made it through this weekend. Apparently, I have decided to make up for any of those lazy weekends, in which I did nothing but watch marathons of whatever reality show VH1 happened to be showcasing, by cramming a year's worth of activity into this last weekend.

Let me splain, no there is too much... let me sum up (great movie, I hope you recognize it):

Friday: Finished work at 5:30, lolly-gagged for 30 minutes (why, couldn't tell ya ) and then finally went home. At 9:00pm left my house to go to a Christmas cocktail party thrown by one of my boyfriend's friends. As it was semi-fancy, I used the party as a dress rehearsal for my boyfriend's company party this Friday. The dress was a hit but I could be happier with the appearance of my butt in the dress, thus I will be actually doing lunges with my patients this week instead of only watching them.

Saturday: Brunch with my boyfriend. Now, I truly believe that all good things in life are worth the effort they require, but this was ridiculous. I have never had to work so hard for a single meal in my life. We first stopped at a small cafe in North Park which we quickly opted against after realizing they only had 3 food items on the menu (all consisting of a bagel with some variation of shmear). Next, we happened upon this promising place, the Antique Row Cafe (anything with a line outside says "Good Eats" to me). After a 30 minute wait (and a firm decision on what menu item I was about to enjoy) we were seated in the section of what I hope is the rudest waitress of the restaurant, cause if there were any that were ruder, I don't see how that place could have any sort of wait. After recieving our drinks (which we didn't order because she didn't let us finish our order) the power goes out and we are informed they would be unable to serve us any food. "But go ahead and enjoy your beverages (which we didn't want) for free." Long story short, we found a great place down the street, Adams Avenue Grill, and I will definitely be returning there. Fabulous food and a paper table cloth with crayons provided...need I say more?

Later that afternoon, I drove up to my brother's house to help decorate their newly purchased Christmas tree. Fun holiday times! However, later that night I experienced a slight damper on the evening's events, which consisted of a two-hour long horrendous stomach ache followed by two episodes of vomiting. Ahh, food poisoning! (Don't worry, we went out to eat, my sister in law is a fabulous cook)

Sunday: Went to Chargers/Broncos game. Actually, it was the Chargers game, because the other team really didn't show up. And I was there when history was made and LT tied, then smashed, the record for most rushing TDs in a single season. With three games left in the season, I don't even want to guess how far he will take that record.

A fabulous weekend, even with the food poisoning, because until I got sick... that was some damn good food!!!

What can I say, I love to eat.
