A weekend of wealth.

I don't mean wealth in the terms of money, but rather, in company and entertainment. I had a busy weekend that started Thursday night, and my car not starting. Since I primarily rely on my bike in the summer I hadn't driven it in a few days. I'm still not sure what's wrong with it, but I plan to sort it out before Thursday when I have to pick up Sara at the airport. Brandon instead came and collected me. We then went down town to join in Cody's birthday celebration. Friday was a beer demo at work that resulted in delicious beer bread and beer and cheese dip. After work Brandon and I, again, went to join in Cody's birthday celebration, this time in the form of a BBQ at his house. 

Saturday I got to sleep in a bit before heading to work for another demo! This one was on gadgets. I used various avocado, tomato, garlic and lime tools to make gaucamole. After that it was off to Brandon's to get ready for his work party. Every year the company he works for throws a hugs summer party called simply called the orange party. Everyone in attendance is required to wear orange. Remember that dress I made? This is what I needed it for. I think I can safely safe the night was a success. Sure I drank way more alcohol than was necessary , but it was free, we weren't driving, and I didn't get sick or hungover. Plus I got to spend the night with a great guy. So success! 

Hair and makeup. All of which I managed by myself. 

A bit of pre gaming. 

Handsome date with an elderidge knotted tie, which he let me tie :)

As you can see, there were lots of drinks by the end. Sunday we slept in till noon! Just in time to grab food and go watch the USA v. Portugal game at Steakout. 

 

You can't tell well from the photo but standing on the bar is a guy wearing red white and blue face paint and a cape made of the American flag. He had the whole bar chanting "I believe that we will win!"

It was my first World Cup game. It was pretty freakin awesome, even if we did let Portugal score in the last 30 seconds. 

Because our weekend wasn't full enough, we then caught a showing of "how to train your mother fucking dragon!"

Also known as " how to train your dragon 2". 

When that let out I had a phone call and text from Casey saying we should get our hineys over to The Kitchen, a savy new restraunt down town, to check out the hot bartender. The bartender was of course, her man , my friend and all around cool guy, Shane, who is rocking his new job. We grabbed a few drinks before returning to Brandon's and completely passing out. It was a great weekend :)

A few little notes. 

* I saw a fox run by me yesterday while walking. 

* my cleaned bike is running much better! 

* I haven't purchased bread in two months, still making it at home.
