I am about to watch The Hangover 2 with my parents. Yeah, my parents are quite hip. I never feel shame in laughing along with any of the vulgar or crude jokes that coincide with today’s comedies. I relish in them; my parents know that I am a perv at heart. We have a great relationship.
I am also drinking a Fat Tire; I figure I deserve it. There’s really no reason why I don’t deserve it, so that is my logic. J
Today was a good day, as Ice Cube would say. I had class this afternoon and chose a research topic for a presentation that I will be doing in my Contemporary France class. I chose Simone Beck. This particular personnage happens to be a woman after my own heart… equipped with a love for food and writing, she rallied up with Julia Child and Louisette Bertholle to create the cookbook entitled “Mastering the Art of French Cooking.” She also anchored the creation of a cooking school with these two fine women: “L’école de Trois Gourmandes.” As you can see, I am excited about this project and am anxious to see what else I can figure out about this woman. I admire the fact that all three women previously mentioned were farrrr into their “middle ages” before finding out exactly what made them tick. Suffice it to say that passion comes through in mysterious ways… so follow yours.
After class I came home and went to spinning. This is a little shout to Mr. Jeffrey Iding. Speaking of passion, take a class with him, you will realize that he has it for cycling. I felt honored tonight because Jeff made the majority of his music routine to songs that I have recently posted on Facebook. That makes me so happy because it’s evident that he pays attention to what I write/post. Overall, his classes kick ass, they make me sweat, and they are fun. SO, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GOOD WORKOUT-CHECK IT OUT. Spinning has honestly been an amazing addition to any type of workout regimen I had going on before. Ok, that was my infomercial for the day!
Last weekend was a wonderful time for me. Friday night I got my Victor Hugo quote tattoo touched up with Stephanie. After, we decided to play a little game. The rules: stop at the first bar we see and have a drink. We ended up at a little martini bar and it turned out to be a cute place; morale of the story is that I would go back. I had a martini named Dazed and Infuzed… it was full of tequila and … something else. J
The car ride from West Bend back to Erin was a blast. We cranked the music and sang as loud as we could. I love Stephanie.
After that we went to the Erin Inn for a few more drinks. We played Brown Sugar by the Stones and of course, American Pie.
Saturday was also an eventful day. I went grocery shopping with my mom (happens to be one of my favorite hobbies… the word is hobby, rather than chore!!) Saturday night I went out with some girls for a birthday party. We went to Taylor’s, a nice bar in Milwaukee. Rhea—if you are reading this, know that one of your co-workers (I think her name was Erin) came up to me and asked if I was your roommate from Paris! How cute is that!!
After, a little intimate party led me to my crush’s apartment. We drank some wine with other friends and enjoyed good conversation until 5am.
The next morning, said crush went to breakfast with his brothers and was sweet and thoughtful enough to bring me an omelette. Sunday night had a really great dinner at my house with my parents and my little interest. On the menu was venison tenderloin (marinated for over 24 hours), parmesan mashed potatoes, scalloped corn, zucchini/tomato casserole, bacon wrapped chestnuts and a dessert enshrined “Died and Gone to Heaven”. It was a lovely dinner and a perfect evening to relax before a busy week. Things are going swimmingly.
This Friday is my birthday. I’m turning 24. I’m excited, but I get excited about everything. The plan is to go to La Chimenea for Mexican food. Can’t wait.
Overall, I’ve learned so much about myself in the past 6 months. I have really grown into a woman and I am proud of myself. Having single time, and time in Paris I have been able to look at the present and future and see what I need in my life. I have really analyzed what I want and what I don’t want and think I have a really great grasp on it. I know what makes me happy, what motivates me, and what is important to me.
I feel positive and happy.
