Laying Low Weekend

This weekend was all about being cheap. With the impending laptop purchase, my need to find a new apartment and some escalating credit card bills, I didn't have the money to do much of anything. Friday night I sat in an watched Rent like a total loser. P.S. Rent was seriously corny and this is coming from a man who is not afraid to admit a like for musicals. Saturday afternoon I ventured to the big YMCA to check out the joint and get my workout on. The big Y is deluxe, like insanely big, and I killed a couple hours there without spending a dime. Saturday night was a Pina Colada and Seabreeze drink fest in my apartment with my wing girls Syd and Tena. It's amazing how much fun 3 people can have just drinking fruity drinks and goofing around. I made a fancy dinner before hand that included Jerk Chicken, Fresh Zuccini, Cous-Cous and a Spring Mix salad. Walking home drunk from a gas station run @ midnight with 24 oz cans of Lite beer in little paper bags was a highlight. The night ended when Syd pulled a muscle in her neck trying to touch her toes (don't ask) around 4:00 AM. Before I knew it my Dad was ringing my buzzer @ 11:15 AM to spend a couple days with me starting with Sunday. Pretty much my father and I compete at various games and bitch about sports, life and movies. Oh, and we eat out every meal on his dime. I'm trying to keep my diet in check, only eating half my Fridays burger and eating only 6 buffalo wings for dinner. And I didn't drink a drop of alcohol the entire day. I guess I felt guilty for my consumption of girl drinks on Saturday night. In any case, the old man is sticking around until Wednesday and then my buddy Chris rolls into town on Friday. So I'm in the middle of a hosting frenzy. Back to the grind....it's Monday morning.

It is strange how he is like everywhere all of a sudden. Do I sense a bit of nervousness on your part that we will all think he is cooler than you?
