Games, Golf and Girl Talk

Saturday after work I met up with Mitch, KW and Dom for gaming.  I got there around 11pm, and KW had bought ingredients for lemon bars.  Mitch and I rolled up our sleves and made up some lemon bars for the crew.

While the lemon bars were cooking, the boys were playing on there computers so Mitch and I had girl talk.  We talked all about everything going on.  Sadly we hadn't hung out in about a month (way too long!!) so we had lots to talk about.

Once the lemon bars finished cooking we played Civ V for an hour or two before everyone got super tired and we all parted ways.  Some other awesome things that happened that night was I saw Mitch and Dom's new deck!  Awesome doesn't even begin to describe how cool their new deck is.  Soooooo cool.  Yeah, I have friends who built their own deck...like a boss!  We also walked 6 houses over to KW house to see his new coffee table.  It was neat.  Not "built your own deck neat" but still pretty nice.

The next day, Sunday, Marlon and I went to Swings and Things.  As we were driving there I excitedly asked "So are there swings?!"  Marlon laughed and explained that no, the "swings" refer to swinging a bat at the batting cages.  I was a little disappointed (who doesn't love swings?!) but still super exited for batting cages and mini golf!!

We started out at the batting cages.  Marlon use to play baseball/softball in high school, and still plays with a team during softball season.  Marlon was a total boss at the batting cages.  He hit home run after home run as I cheered him on!  For the safety of all, I did not use the batting cages.  After almost 30 years of life, I've learned that my horrible hand eye coordination is best left not seen by others!

Next we played a round of miniture golf.  While we were waiting in line to buy a round (Marlon paid for everything once again <3 ), the guy behind us said to his daughter "This guy (talking about Marlon) has opened every door (for me, Jnet!), maybe he'll also buy us a round of golf!"  Marlon just laughed (nice try buddy).  Like a sir!

Below is the score card.  Let me sum it up for you though:  Marlon managed 3 holes in 1 (three!!!!), while I managed 3 holes where I hit the max amount of strokes (6).  Long story short, Marlon slaughtered me at mini golf 50 to 60, but was a gracious winner.

After batting and golf we were tuckered out so we ordered a pizza from Romeo's Pizza.  Marlon had been raving about how they had the best pizza.  It was pretty amazing.  It was like they added delicious crack to the sauce.  I couldn't get enough!  So super yum!

We then watched some football.  By watched, I mean, Marlon watched while I asked a TON of questions.  You know a guy likes you when he puts up with a lot of silly questions during a football game!

The next day I met up with my friend Chellise for girl talk.  We picked up some food from Melt, a gormet grilled cheese place.  Ironically, neither of us got grilled cheese.

We had a great time and talked about everything from Babies (she has 2!!) to boyfriends (I has one!!).  Sometimes I forget what awesome friends I have!  So funny and witty and insightful and all around super fun to talk to.

2 week hiatus!

Let me start off by apologizing profusely for missing a couple of weeks of blogging.  I am sorry!!  2 weeks ago I was so sick.  I ended up canceling 7 different plans with 5 different friends so I could stay home and wait for death.

After a week of being miserable and sick I was ready to party last weekend!  Marlon (the new boyfriend) and I decided to have a classic dinner-and-a-movie date.  We went to see Hit and Run at the Crocker Park theater, but got there early, so we walked around looking at stores in Crocker Park.

The move was a lot better than I was expecting.  I was expecting a "boy movie" filled with violence, guns, action and very little plot.  While there was car chases and guns, there was also an interesting plot and underlying romance!  I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

After the movie, Marlon and I went to dinner at Max and Erma's.  While the food was only okay, the conversation was amazing and the company even better.  Marlon and I have been dating for about a month now and it just keeps getting better.  Honestly, he has been the best guy I've ever dated <3

The next day I planned to meet Manders for lunch.  We met up at Tomaydo Tomahhdo for lunch and girl talk.  Manders is 6-7 months pregnant, so we got to talk a lot about everything baby (from birth to child rearing techniques).  I of course gushed about my handsome, wonderful, all around awesome new boyfriend (are you getting sick of hearing about how awesome Marlon is yet?).  Sadly, I was so engrossed in our conversation I forgot to get pics.  Fail.

Overall it was a super fun weekend.  My only regret is that I didn't get to hang out with Mitch, Dom, or KW.  They all had labor day plans (stupid social butterflies), so we setup a game night this Saturday!  Yippee!
