This weekend was so chock-full of badassness that I had no time to post!

Friday included volunteer work (one of my goals set for amping up badass missions)…. the fun kind of volunteer work that begins with setting up for an event… centers around drinking and socializing at the event… and ends with cleaning up the event. It’s like a volunteer sandwich — and it’s all worth it because of the meat in the middle.

Hospice, an amazing non-profit hosted a luau (coordinated by my lovely bff Jenn Czech.) to raise funds for their organization.

The “meat” portion involved meeting some great new people. Brian and Jay were my favorite. Brian even gave me some suggestions for badass missions – like doing things completely opposite of what I enjoy — like going to the Library (without my iPhone) to study or read a book for a few hours. Sounds like torture. I vote no.

Saturday I jogged a 5K around the neighborhood and then went to UNCW for a big meeting with my MBA group. We accomplished a lot of the things we missed the boat on for the initial environmental analysis draft. I hadn’t eaten all day but Michael gave me half of his gallon of apple juice to keep me somewhat focused.

Then Saturday evening I met Kim, EB, Mandy, Misty and Rachel out for at touristy night on the town… Wilmington’s Haunted Pub Crawl! Imagine bar hopping in downtown Wilmington while a tour guide tells you spooky stories of ghost sightings at each venue… that’s an equation of silliness, scariness and social drinking — my favorite formula!

The Un-Badass part was that because I drank so much applejuice during my MBA meeting – - and then had dinner (salad and sweet potato soup at Deluxe)…. I was in quite a painful situation….  The combination of an empty stomach, apple juice, and then eating dinner with a martini left me doubled over with that gas that gets stuck right underneath your ribcage, ya know what I’m talking about? The pub crawl started and I almost wanted to lay on the sticky bar floor in fetal position. I knew if I pushed through it – secretly massaged my stomach – the gas would eventually work its way through. And… it passed! I pretty much propelled myself through the entire pub crawl.

Mandy, Kim, TStorm, Blackbeard, Rachel - can you tell I'm in need of Gas-X in this picture?

Sunday me and some friends went to Geoff’s baseball game to cheer and support him at his first city league game. Unfortunately I arrived there by myself… BOTH TEAMS were wearing the same exact blue jersey/gray pants uniform and every man on the field LOOKED EXACTLY THE SAME. I didn’t know where to sit. I had to cheer for every single player until I figured out which one was Geoff — then I was able to accurately cheer for the correct team (and him in particular).

Team Name "BreakTime" -- so what's really on their mind?

It was a busy and very fun weekend. The weather was beautiful. I double-dipped wings in ranch sauce I was sharing with Jenn. I found a new dog toy in my house – one I didn’t buy. I hang power cleaned dog food at Costco. I sweated any balls off (that I may have grown?) while sitting in the bleachers at the baseball game. I made new friends. I got a carepackage for Nate put together. I worked with Phizz some more on “focusing” – right before she ran away and shit in my neighbor’s yard.

The good outweighed the bad – so it was a great weekend. Now time for sleep!
