Three days of work, two full of madness, one full of reading. After not seeing my spawn for days, back to three days of work to two day of pool time! Yes we are back to that time of year. Where has all the time gone. I mean I feel like I moved into my apartment not that long ago. Hell I haven’t even gone to buy a couch yet, nor hang stuff on the walls. Well it’s more like it’s not really a priority, not really a couch potato, more like a bed potato? 🙂 Besides who’s even going to come hang out all the way over here, sooo far from the loop.

Anywho, the 27th was a monumentos day for my Mum, she finally after 22 years of living here, she got sworn in as a United States citizen. Then we went to a wonderful patio  at Backstreet Cafe, where I preceded to leave my to-go on the table. A personal giant fail moment, ugh. That day I took spawn to the JP Morgan observation deck. Must say that I’ve been wanting to go check it out for as long as I could remember, and I was not disappointed. Plus it was a beautiful and clear day, you could see to pass the Galleria and Reliant.

On Friday , I got to venture to the heights to check out Chvrches at the new White Oak music hall. One word, AMAZING!! Not only the venue but the band, who which for some reason I had never been able to go see, stupid work and adult responsibilities. The venue has a plush green grass hill and pick-a-boo views of downtown ❤ <3. The best part of the show, other than the killer tunes, it didn’t rain. Of course I was on point wearing my Hunter boots I got for my birthday. One small complaint of the night, the parking -guys get it together, you know you need a parking garage. The rest of the weekend was just relaxing. Took spawn to sushi and to see the Jungle Book. Perfect in my eyes.

One thing I had forgotten to do was review this amazing food service I found. It is called Freshly, it’s a sustainable, all natural, meal ready, delivery service. When you use my referral code you get six meals for free, super good deal and I get some too! It is super easy, 2-minutes in the microwave and the food is actually good and doesn’t taste like cardboard. Hell I actually ate veggies, yes roasted cauliflower and spinach. One downfall for me, I don’t really eat that much food due to my crazy backwards schedule. For now though back to work, then off for a couple of days of adult time to just work all weekend, Happy Mother’s Day to me.

Today I realized that I need to be writing more. I have so much running thru my head, it is borderline crazy. I guess I need to just start with last week. Sunday evening was an interesting. So on top of the thunderstorm of the century and the flooding, a friend goes to the ER. I am nice enough to offer a hand and this person states that mom is on her way into town, and it will be ok. They proceed to send me their awful looking neck x-ray and tell me they have surgery scheduled. Small talk for a couple days and then a snap comes thru that it is out of the hospital, mom meal prepped and once again ‘if you need anything let me know’ ‘Thanks, I appreciate that’ happens.

I went out friday night after an awful afternoon of parenting and a nap. A friend sounded like he needed a drink and to hit the pause button. I of course said ” Be there in 30″. I needed the random conversation and laughs. Liberty Station, Julep (a first and it’s sooo pretty – plus yummy drinks), Tarakaan ( also a first, smaller than expected), The Commoner and some Frank’s Pizza for the night cap. I was home by 1230, that is after a disastrous couple conversations with three different people. First the above mention “it” decides to throw everything at my face when asked ‘wyd’. Really, when did becoming nice and a caring individual with compassion become something people like to walk over.

Thought to myself well whatever I don’t even need to drink anymore. So booty text also didn’t work that night. One gave me no response, and the other yelled at me. All I can say is man I’m on a roll! And to think this was just Friday night. I mean really! I know I over think most things, but for the love of god can I catch a break from the rejections, yelling and servile people. To be continued….

XOXO

While my five-cheese lasagna bakes, I finally have time to write!! yay!! I did not remember how long it takes to cook. Can’t say the week has been terribly exciting, it’s been pretty meh. I did enjoy the streaming from Coachella 2016 on YouTube for week one. It is a brilliant outlet for those of us that can’t be there . They give you the schedule, a camera at each stage and the ability to pause and come back later!  Friday night I was at work but I was still able to catch Of Monsters and Men, Jack U, M83 and Ellie Goulding. Saturday after running around town I caught the amazing performance of James Bay Silversun Pickups, Matoma, Lost Frequencies, and Halsey. I purposely stayed away from the Chvrches and Disclosure sets since I have tickets to their Houston shows, well as much as I could.

Sunday morning was spent taking my cousin around town. Showing her the most that I could in a small amount of time. Took a walk around downtown, a drive around Montrose and West U, to end up at Cyclones in Rice Village. It was a beautiful day until the rain came. Which the gave me loads of time to watch Sunday’s sets. Cold War Kids, the 1975, Wolf Alice, Maceo Plex, Edward Sharpe, Chainsmokers, Flume, Sia and Calvin Harris. It was a pretty epic day, I’m still reliving the Sia set. So was the thunderstorm  of that night. It not only flooded the city but also my town, and has led to a multi day fiasco of rain and floodwaters all over the place.

But thru the miracle of pre-orders and Amazon, I got a new book. That i’m actually reading, and if you know me, i don’t really read. The Betches ‘I had a nice time and Other Lies’ is hysterical. I spent most of last night reading and laughing. They definitely have a amazing way to give advise and make you look at yourself all while making you laugh. I am taking their advice to heart. So for now no new boys, just focus on me and what I need to do.  Like right now go take care of this lasagna.

XOXO
