Weekend Recap

For the strangers to my blog, I will explain a little bit about my current situation. In July of last year, I joined a consulting company after a stint in the corporate world. With this consulting role comes travel and my current project takes me to Modesto, CA every week. So I cherish my weekends in my little apartment with my attempt at a real life.

Yet...as life goes this weekend brought unexpected joys!!! To begin, I was really looking forward to spending my Friday night with my best friend KMC of Adventures of D & K @ http://dcocch.wordpress.com/ as an early little birthday party for her. We drove out to our small little town (grew up together) and sat around chatting at my parent's kitchen table like we have done for many years now. Then I got the call...flat tire on my car :(. I started learning some very interesting aspects of my Passat that I didn't know it had like anti-theft lug nuts?? Some special key was missing so we were stuck with no option of getting the tire off. After one failed then a successful attempt to use KMC's AAA account we received a tow truck at 1 AM. They couldn't help...we left the car at the gas station parking lot and maybe went to bed around 2:30 AM.

Saturday....couldn't sleep in as late MDK and I prefer (I blame mine on jet lag :)) because we had to go back to the car. We called the VW dealership and got the word that they needed to have the car to see which special key the darn thing needed. This meant it had to be towed...as seen below...

It was strange to see the car riding along on the truck. I was happy the dealership was able to fix the car that day and though it was not a planned expense I like knowing that things are all back on the A-OKAY!! Sorry KMC and thanks for dragging MDK and I around.

For Saturday evening we decided to not drive quite as far and skipped last minute plans for the casino to watch Inception. WOW!! I liked it and would suggest it. Leonardo DiCaprio is my fav ever since Titanic :)

Sunday we did a quick lunch at Brasa would also suggest that. I usually fly out in the afternoons on Sunday and watch TV on the plane. I caught an episode of the Amazing Race and decided I am applying.


I am going to apply with my friend EEH as we have traveled together before and always enjoy it. Here we are in Brussels together. I think we look like we belong on the race...I mean look at us carrying those backpacks and eating our Belgian waffle...multitasking!! Think we can do it??
