I had a love/hate affair with this weekend. The LOVES were the best of the best and the HATES well, you know.
The SUPER FUN FANTASTIC
– The mitten blogger meet up, skillfully arranged by Sillygrrl. She planned a great night of dinner and bowling in Midtown Detroit. I haven’t been to the Majestic since I saw Treble Charger play there in 2001!
(Ginger Mandy, JenRem, Maeko, LauReality, Sillygrrl, Supergirl)
Strikes!
This is an awesome group of ladies! I’m so glad I finally got to meet all of you in person. Supergirl (along with Sillygrrl) was one of my first Michigan bloggers in my reader. It was nice to see her face 
(Missed you Mel!)
– Hanging out with Maeko before the meetup. I <3 her. She helped me with my makeup and I might have spilled some secrets on the way to the meetup. Afterwards we drove around looking for a grocery store open to buy mac and cheese. But our mac and cheese eating and glee watching plan came apart because of her sick doggie. She also let me borrow socks to wear with the cute bowling shoes they make you wear. It should be said that I was quite bratty about it, but I think I’m ok since she’s family and she can’t exactly get rid of me. Haha.
– Aerial Yoga – I got up on the high trapeze!! And I flipped upside down on the fabric. I don’t have any photographic evidence, but I think Ginger Mandy will vouch for me
– Sparring on Saturday morning. I got Master J in the head. He even stopped to give me a high five. Don’t worry, I didn’t have time to be excited about it because the next round I got a foot, firmly planted in my face.
The CRAPTASTIC
– Going to lunch with my great Aunt who is in her late 70’s who became faint after lunch. I’m the last person you want around when you aren’t feeling well. It was also reminiscent of my mom and completely got under my skin.
– Sunday I got up feeling quite emotional because these past couple of weeks have been really wearing on me. I’ve had a lot of stuff going on. Some really great, some not so fun but things that needed to be done. I’m stressing about my black belt testing and yada, yada. Bottom line I tried to get some errands out of the way Sunday before aerial yoga. I was running late but thought I had enough time time get in and out of CVS. Um no, they’ve only been filling my birth control pills for years now. They took Sunday to mess it up and instead of spending 2 minutes in the store it was more like 15. I might have bawled my eyes out on the way to yoga.
– When I got to yoga I was split up from Sillygrrl and Ginger Mandy. Ok, totally not the day for that, I almost started crying again. Yeah, I was that girl. What a big baby. It turned out ok. I totally saw Ginger Mandy kick ass on the trapeze (you go girl!) and I heard that Sillygrrl was totally climbing the fabric to the moon. I have no doubt, she’s inspirational on the fabric.
– I got home from the grocery store to find Scooby chewed more of the couch cushion we haven’t started paying on.
– I had just made some tea, the dvd ready to play Crouching Tiger Hidden dragon, and made a comforting grilled cheese when someone knocked on my door. My friend AP stopped by with her 2 kids (ages 1 and 3) and husband. While I was happy to see them because it’s been so long, last night was not the perfect night.
How was your weekend?
