weekend recap

I shouldn't be writing this. I have two projects to work on at my day job, and well, they are both getting so frickin' tedious that I needed to take a candy bar and blogger break. :) My new boss also started work today, which has made work a bit more busy than usual. He's from Venezuela, speaks 5 languages (Spanish, Italian, German, French, English), and has lived in places like Munich, Milan, Vienna, NYC, Miami... and now he's moving to northern Kentucky... I hope he likes it.

My weekend was fantastic. I help throw a block party Friday night for a bunch of kiddos and neighbors. We had dogs, hotdogs, and water balloons among other fun stuff. Leo had a fantastic time, and made a few friends, like with this guy named Joseph.




Saturday, big day!, I turned 24. Birthdays are just days. But this was one great day. I started it off by going for a jog with my friend Katie. She's a great friend and we had a great time.



She treated me to breakfast at Great Harvest. Simple, but so good. The owners of the one we went to are Christians, and they are super generous. They freely give you massive slices of bread - your choice of maybe 5 or 6 kinds - that you can slather up with honey or butter. MMMM. Then you get a cup of jo, and you're ready to go. Their house blend is excellent, for all you locals. After breakfast, I met up with mi madre, who kindly took me shopping to buy me clothes. I had a couple great finds - like a cheap kelly green sleeveless boatneck shirt and a calf length denim skirt. Super cute. We met up with mi padre to have lunch at Abuelos, the newest mexican place in town. Their salsa is HOT, their food is a lot of bang for your buck, and they're the only place in town that features Dos Equis beer on tap, which I naturally indulged in. I had my favorite cake made by my mom, Boston Cream Pie. It's heavenly, my friends.


That night, I met up with a lot of great friends for dinner outside at Cheapside downtown, swing dancing on Main Street, and beer and floats back at my place for the rest of the evening.





Among these friends were the SUPER Ferrell Bros. They drove from Cincy just for the occasion of my birthday. I have some pretty swell friends, don't ya think?

It doesn't get much better than this, really. Good food, fun, fellowship, friends, and of course, dancing.
