have you had your latin kiss today?

"what is this feeling takin' over?"--kelly clarkson

hey hey..weekend update..

after work on friday i met borrego, shea and bundy downtown at saba to enjoy some happy hour fun! after drinks and appetizers, we were really hungry (or shea and i were..we're the eaters in the group, aka, if you don't feed us, we will be cranky) after that, we walked a few steps to hear this guy that bundy knew sing, it was beautiful outside, and he was nice to listen to, so we stayed there for awhile, then decided we would try to find dinner, we walked around to the taco shack and it was closed. boo...then we started walked down 6th street, which felt like forever b/c i had blisters on my feet!? why why why?! we were looking for ninfa's, but apparently rocco's grill has taken that space over...thanks rocky piazza..he's the freakin' real estate mogul of lakeway, and probably the most powerful man out there, as if having a rocco's grill out there wasn't enough, he had to buy out the ninfa's place, and THEN build his $5+million dollar castle on the hill/mountain overlooking my house, i drive home everyday and look up and there it is, i think he built it, so he can be like a king looking over his land...wow...

anyways, we ended up going the pyramid, this mediterranean restaurant that i absolutely LOVE for dinner, and it was good, but the service was HORRIBLE, um hi, there are 2 other people in here? why did it take almost 2 hours to eat? whatever. after that, we were all pretty tired, since it was like almost 11, so we went back to bundy's and debated whether to go out and staying in sounded better, so i came home..

saturday i woke up and got ready for my gym assessment, which actually turned out to be a mini-training session which kicked my ass then and 2 days letter, i can barely walk upstairs, note: thank goodness for elevators, it's painful to just THINK about having to go upstairs to my room..or even come down, my legs hurt SOO bad, and when i stand, my butt hurts...whose BUTT hurts when they stand?! whatever, i signed up for 3 more mini-training sessions b/c they're only $30 each and i dont' have to get the full training sessions...after that, i got ready and andy came into town early, so he met me and my mom at johnny carinos for her mothers' day lunch...it was very good, and then we went to get her gift and then andy and i went to the mall so i could look for a cute top to go with my uber-cute pants (yes i said uber, and i didn't mean to type "super)...FINALLY i found one at express 2/24.50 so i got another one so i wouldn't spend $22.50 on just one shirt (note: the alarm went off when i walked out and when the checked my bag they said it was fine..when i was gettign dressed ready to put on my cute shirt for work, yup..sensor on it..thanks for checkign though)...then we went home to chill out and wait til 8 for dinner...8 turned into 830 and finally into 9, so we just watched the real world/road rules challenge until it was time to leave

we met bundy, shea, bundy's brother, topher, carosa and borrego at bundy's apt and then met gary (carosa's boyf) and another of her friends at rudy's for dinner, then headed out to 6th street! i had to drive, boo!! i told andy i would buy his drinks b/c one of us needed to be drinking and he had a rough day. anyways, we started off at touche b/c we wanted to get flaming dr. peppers for carosa's bday...do you know that touche got in trouble for the whole blowing fire thing, so the flaming dr. peppers SUCK now, they just light the shot and it falls into the glass, no fire blowing..boo! after that, we went to gatsby's for some $1 long islands and some booty dancing. that was fun, despite the girl who was dancing with the pole and watching herself in the mirror, i think she was a closet stripper. whatever. i think we were all feeling good by then, and it was midnight, so i had my cutoff on alcohol so i could be sober when i drove home,..our next stop was bar-celona, which kind of looked underground-ish and european like, lights on the floor, white floors, weird...anyways, gary knew the bartender, so we got free shots (fine, my LAST drink of the night) and by then, my $10--sex & the city shoes were apparently not going to be enjoyable, crap, my feet hurt SOO bad...we sat there for awhile and took some pictures, and then left, we were debating the aquarium, the library, tried to get into spill but topher had tennis shoes on(damn dress code) and finally ended up at the drink, that was a fun bar, i'd never been there...so since i wasn't drinking anymore and my feet were KILLING me, i saw some free seats, so andy and i sat down for awhile, i got up momentarily to yell out "the shit is bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s!" with my girls, but my feet...urgh...our last stop was treasure island, as unlucky and trashy as that place is, but it was fine, except for the ...bigger people booty dancing next to me and andy as we sat down, it was just gross...anyways, we left with 3 drunk people...topher, (first time drunk), carosa (the sick drunk) and borrego (the "i lost my credit card" drunk) so while bundy went with her to find her card, i decided to sit on the very nasty sidewalk, and we were there for almost an hour...saw all the drunk people walking out of the bars, the public intoxicated kid get arrested, ya know..the usual things. on the walk back to the cars, i HAD to take off my shoes, i know, that's disgusting, but if you felt this pain, you would have done it too, believe me, i scrubbed my feet a billion times when i got home! all in all, it was a fun night, just reminder to myself, dont' wear cute shoes for more than 30 mins standing and 1 hour altogether. boo!

sunday was very low-key, it was storming all day or most of it, and it was so awesome to sleep in that, but finally i woke up, breakfast, tv, ran errands, took andy to my office, had dinner with my mom and 2 of her friends at home, watched "meet the fockers" (her mday gift ..one of, b/c she LOVES that movie) and then bed...

i must give props to austin drivers today, NO WRECKS on my way to work...yet despite that, i left almost 15 mins earlier than normal and STILL got to work at the same time, what the heck? anyways, i think this took up some time, sorry it 's so long, but when i don't update on the weekends, this is what happens.

peace out
