Alternately Titled: Why a Weekend Full of Bad Life Decisions was Still Awesome
Bad Life Decision #1: Going for a run on a highway with scores of roadkill along the shoulder.
You can bet I'll never be running that route again. And it totally took me out of the mood to handle raw meat or cook in any way shape or form. Which led to...
Bad Life Decision #2: Going to a new restaurant on a Friday night at 6:30 (legit new--this was the third night this place was open).
Standing room only folks. For like forty minutes. Totally made me regret wearing my awesome new heels. But I completely forgot about all of that when we finally got seated and ate our food. O.M.G to die for. One of the best burgers I have ever eaten (and the bun! Amazing). Oh, and as should be clear from the name, a fantastic beer selection. Fantastic. I would do the whole thing all over again (but maybe wear more reasonable shoes). Can't. Wait. To go there again.
Bad Life Decision #3: Deciding that we hadn't consumed enough beer at JL Beers and promptly drop $15 on a 12-pack of Dos Equis Amber then proceed to play MarioKart on the Wii.
Don't drink and drive applies to the Wii as well. 'Nuff said.
Bad Life Decision #4: Turning on an episode of How I Met Your Mother during lunch on Saturday.
One episode very quickly turned in to at least six episodes. Productivity level? Non-existant. The only thing we managed to accomplish that day was putting together our second garden plot--ninety percent of which Darrell had already done while I was at work that morning.
Bad Life Decision #5: Attempting to run seven miles on Sunday when the only other running I'd done the whole previous week was four miles on Friday.
I'm paying for it today. Hardcore. But, it led to the consumption of some delicious Juice Stop smoothie and cuddling on the couch (watching more How I Met Your Mother, of course), so it really wasn't the end of the world (plus I got Darrell to wait on me--at least a little bit). And after a few hours we even managed to get ourselves presentable enough to go grocery shopping, where I proceeded to impulse-buy unnecessary amounts of fruit. There are worse things I could have been craving, right?
Bad Life Decision #6: Inviting my parents to get frozen yogurt then going back to their house to play cards (and drink wine).
Early bedtime? Out the window. Wine in a sore, dehydrated body? Not the smartest thing ever. But self-serve frozen yogurt places? Da bomb. Especially when they have a Chocolate Coconut Truffle flavor. Yuuuum. And I always enjoy playing cards with the 'rents--even when we realize five hands into our game that we've been playing by the wrong rules. That's what Darrell gets for suggesting we play a game that we haven't played in years. Fail.
