Monday eve really isn't as terrible as I make it out to be. I'm still up for the sole purpose of putting off Monday morning just a little longer. Do I dread going to work tomorrow? Of course not. It's going to be a busy week, probably more busy than any week since before Thanksgiving. For me, it'll be a good week for this reason and I'm eager to take it on.
Why the dread on a Sunday evening? It's just what we're programmed to do. Now, let's take a look back at the weekend and the week ahead (besides counting how many people sigh when you ask them how their weekend was and respond, "Not long enough.").
It was definitely a successful Friday/Saturday combo. With the expectation for a full Saturday, Friday night was spent in the company of family and a good friend. Chili, football and exorbitant amount of junk food was on the menu.
Here are a few highlights of a full day of bar hopping and basketball watching on Saturday.
- Arrive at Brooksider by 11:30. This in of itself is an accomplishment.
- The table orders enough beer and food that the waitress is clearly confused by the end of the KU-OU/KSU-MU games.
- Migrate to a friend's house for some old school Nintendo (Mario World 3). To keep the nostalgic vibe, we turn on a Disney movie power hour YouTube video.
- We travel towards Oak Park Mall to a bar we've never been to. Let's just say we traveled to the Land of Oz.
- The "Either/Or" game begins. Speed or comfort?
- We roll on back to Waldo.... did Chipotle come before or after the Land of Oz?
- With the day already a success, there was no need to make another stop but we did anyway.... Quinton's.
- The group's getting very stoic at this point. I'm leaving with a few friends close behind, battling through the crowd. All pro d-bag nudges my friend and I out of the way, I elbow him in the back, he gives me a good shove in the back. I turned around and returned the shove (He's a little stocky guy. I was about to start biting). His massive friend then gets between him and I telling me, "Trust me, you don't want to f*ck with us." Cue stare down. Now, I'm not sure who won the stare down but I departed with the urging of my two friends and the other dudes departed at the urging of the bouncers.
- We make it home in one piece. The customary "You alive?" Tweets and texts flow.
Sunday... Lazy Sunday.
Sunday starts well with a partner in crime from the night before at Jalepenos. This was a single mission with two objectives; morning fuel and recovering the ride (He spent the night behind the Brooksider).
What else? Nothing. There were apparently some NFL Playoff games on the TV when I was lounging on the couch. I take a road trip down to Leawood to find Mom and Sister going through old children's books from our childhood. So strange. "Erin, is that a baby seat in your CRV?!"
Mom and I then make Philly Cheese Steaks. Delicious. It's cheap, easy and yields plenty of leftovers for a few lunches at work.
Work tomorrow.... Yeah, this post is done.
