The weekend started with my dad and i seeing Toy Story 3. Its a super cute movie. The Barbie and Ken characters were my favorite. My dad and i laughed and laughed. I love watching Disney movies with him, more so than anyone else. Makes me feel like a little girl again.
That night my dear friend Veronica was celebrating her birthday with friends over at Luigi's Pizza in midtown. I had never been before and holy snikes is it delicious. I ordered one slice and they were out of the pizza i ordered so made a fresh one for me. it was awesome. its a byob place so veronica and her friends had brought some beer and wine and it was nice to see her and her friends. Her and her boyfriend played a game of hibachi which was fun to watch, as i had never played. It was a really nice night, good food, great friend, and great company!
Saturday was GO GO GO!
After getting several things done, the gym, i met up with my friend Crystal at Empire cafe for brunch. I had only had lunch and dessert there so Brunch was a first time thing for me there. The line was ridiculous and Crystal had gotten there way before i did, so when i arrived she was at the front of the line. I probably made the lady behind her mad but i just ran up and instead of being indecisive with the menu was like " umm make it two!" Brunch was great and there was a nice breeze on the patio, not to mention good catch up time with Ms Crystal!
Afterwards i went to a cardio class at Pole la Teaz. Its a women's fitness center that has pole classes and other dance classes. I had bought a package from Groupon and went to my first class. The experience was hilarious. Some funny girls there. I think its great though. women of all shapes, sizes, race, were there and some were talking about how those classes had helped boost their confidence. The dance class was like being at a club minus the boys.... learning some interesting booty shakin dance moves. It wasnt a difficult workout (despite what some of the girls had told me beforehand) but it was definitely fun! I would do it again just because they were playing a lot of hip hop i like and well i love to get down!
That night i met up with my dad, stepmom and stepbrother for dinner at guiglianni's in meyerland. We had a late father's day dinner for my dad and it was quite nice. My stepbrother invited us to go see his girlfriend Cecelia play in an orchestra at Discovery green play Beach boys songs. We sat on the hill and omg was i the most perfect night. breezy and lots of people with cute dogs. The music wasnt too bad either. Some belly dancers opened up the show which was fun. My dad hates belly dancing so his comments were cracking me up!
Daddy on the hill
Afterwards i had a really great fun and exciting night and morning.
Sunday afternoon I checked out the Menil. I had never been there before and i have heard great things about the exhibits and the architecture and since i enjoy both, why not. Art is so interesting how it could mean nothing to us when we see it but the story of the significance to the artist could be really interesting and deep!
it was good catching up with you too!!!
