My place of employment does not consider Columbus Day a holiday and therefore we did not get today off of work. However, I took a vacation day because my boyfriend's sister was married in Boston this past weekend. I also took off Thursday and Friday of last week for traveling and rehearsal dinner. So I had a very extended and very busy Columbus Day Weekend.
Over the last 5 days I:
- spent 15 hours in a car
- ordered a sirloin steak at a Mexican restaurant. also tried the salmon. odd options at a Mexican place, right?
- ate fried plantains for the first time (and liked them)
- stayed in 3 different hotels over 4 nights
- had a slice of the best chocolate cake I have ever had (called 'death by chocolate' at a place called Gregg's in Rhode Island)
- met my boyfriend's entire extended family with the exception of one uncle and one cousin. his family isn't huge, but it is much bigger than mine which consists of one uncle, no aunts, and no first cousins.
- 'showed off' my non-existent dancing skills to said entire extended family
- the photographer at the wedding seemed to enjoy capturing me 'dancing' and took far too many photos of it
- bought myself my first pair of running tights for the cold/snow
- brought a pair of khaki pants with me on the trip without trying them on first. i bought them in May and wore them not too long ago so i assumed they would be fine. bad assumption. i could remove them without needing to unbutton them first. yikes.
- managed to have a photo taken of me which I do not hate (actually kind of like)
It's not weird. I used to order a grilled cheese sandwhich at Chinese food restaurants...until I was in my mid-20's. THAT is weird.
i love grilled cheese sandwiches!! i must admit i have never seen them offered on the menu at a chinese place though. THAT is definitely WEIRD. :)
