Good Weekend
I had an ideally good weekend. I have a certain way that I think weekends should go. Friday should include dinner and/or happy hour, followed by lounging around watching a movie. Saturday should be the day to get out and do something fun during the day and then go out on the town at night. Sunday should include a late breakfast out somewhere, then a walk or a bike ride, maybe a matinee, and then call it a day early and relax before the week starts up again.
That's pretty much how it went for me. Friday after work Alex and I went out for pizza. Then I went home and watched countless hours of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Saturday morning Aggie and I went to Trader Joe's and then made breakfast. We watched some cooking shows on PBS and lounged about. In the afternoon, Alex and I went to lunch at Six Arms and had a couple beers. Then we went downtown and went shopping. After that wore us out we went and had martinis and mai tais and appetizers.
Later that evening we went and got the Flexcar, after a tragic scare in which I thought I had lost my key card. This was extremely upsetting because we had been looking forward to good mexican food for weeks. The tragedy was averted however when I recalled that the keycard was in my corduroy skirt, hanging in my closet. When we got in the flexcar we found that someone had left a CD in the car, so we put that on. It wasn't labeled so it was really weird because we had no idea what we were listening to.
As usual,I got lost on the way to Coliman. I somehow or another get lost or make a wrong turn ever single time I go there. Once we were finally on the right track we drove through the incredibly cute old part of Georgetown and got stuck at the train tracks. We were waiting for the train to go by when it suddenly - or not so suddenly - stopped and started going the opposite direction. We contemplated running to the bar and taking shots and running back to the car.
Finally we were moving again and I managed to go the right way. When we turned around the last corner on the way to the restaurant we came across this amazing house.
It was so freaking cool. The guy was outside putting on the finishing touches. There were life size casper blow-ups, zombies, skeletons, but the coolest of all was definitely this spider: 
Alex got out and talked to the guy. He apparently decorates for Halloween, Easter, and Christmas. So, if you're ever in the neighborhood, check out the house near the corner of Carleton S. and S. Willow.
We then headed down the street to Coliman. The food was delicious as always. There was a table of guys taking shots out of a tequila bottle and singing as they sat around the table. The flan was wonderful 
.
After dinner, we went and dropped off the Flexcar and grabbed a cab to the summit. When we got in the cab we were a little concerned about the beer can in the cup holder: 
We had fun at the summit with andy and chase and we toasted to the anniversary of my first black eye and bloody nose.
It was a good night, with a really bizarre cab ride home too, but this is long enough, don't you think?
