This week went by so fast for me. It feels like just yesterday I was making a post about cereal. Days/Weeks/Months seems to go by so fast the older you get.

Last night Dave, Chrissy, Bob and I went downtown to a new wine bar that was recommended by one of Dave’s coworkers. This place was fun because you could out money on a card and stick it into a machine that would give you 1oz. samples of wine. I not a big wine drinker and don’t know much about what goes well with what, so I like a place that gives me options. I dated a guy that was one of the people that would recommend what wines would go well with your meal at a fancy restaurant. It was cool when we would go out to dinner because he always picked good wines to drink, but unfortunately none of that knowledge stuck with me. We spent about an hour sampling different wines from all over the world and reminiscing.

Best line of the night came from Bob: “It smelled like if shit could take a shit.” *heaps of laughter*

After we drank all of the money on our card, we decided to walk down the block to a dive bar called “The Hub”. I like dive bars because they are generally a lot less expensive then fancy places and they aren’t stingy on their alcohol. This place was no exception. Chrissy took 2 sips of her fruity vodka drink and said she didn’t want anymore because it was too strong.

*Side note…just because I know my mom reads this. Chrissy drove us home. Those 2 sips were the only thing she drank all night, so you don’t have to worry about me dying or anyone getting a DUI. Love you.*

We got home and I passed out until 10 this morning. I took Chrissy and Dave to breakfast, then we went to Ikea because Chrissy had never been. She ended up buying a few things and is now as addicted to the store ad Dave and I are.

I dropped Chrissy off at home and then Dave took me to my eye doctor appointment. I haven’t been to an eye doctor in a good 10 years or so and lately I’ve been getting headaches which I think are mostly due to the fact that I stare at a computer screen most of the day. The doctor said I had some trouble focusing, but my vision was pretty good. She told me magnifying reading glasses would work best for me, so I’m going to pick up a cheap pair. I’m so lucky that I take after my father when it comes to my vision. he’s had 20/20 pretty much his whole life. My mother on the other hand has such horrible vision that at one point in her life she was wearing glasses on top of contacts.

Tonight, Dave and I are going to see a live performance of The Rocky Horror Picture Show that one of my coworkers is in. I’ve seen the show live once before a few years ago and enjoyed it. It’s only $7, they have a full menu and full liquor bar, and it’s something different. Should be fun times…as long as I take a nap beforehand.
