What an AMAZING Weekend!!! Let’s just say that today is one of those days that Bill Cosby talks about in “Bill Cosby: Himself”. This little snip-it can’t be more accurate as he describes his employees, to whom he has given the weekend off:
It’s always strange. I’ve had a lot of people work for me, and I’ve found out it’s a funny thing that you give them Saturday and Sunday off, and they work so hard to get to those two days and those are the two days that they totally destroy themselves. I mean, you know you think to yourself, you say, “My goodness, I’ve really pounded these people and worked to them to death.” And Friday comes and they say, “Yeah!” And then they come in Monday…
[he makes an expression that looks like he's exhausted and upset]
… and say, “Boy, am I glad to be back here. I’m no good on my own. I was given two whole days and I just went crazy.
That was totally me.
Friday was the “Drag Party” at Patrick and Malakai’s… and it was AWESOME!!! The girls did great and it was a good bunch of people. The event on Facebook said that this was the first “Annual” drag show… I hope that’s not true. I don’t want to wait another year! 
I went into the party, at first, feeling a bit… old. I am 27, and while I do not believe that is old, I know that it may seem so when you are at a party where the next oldest person, Eric, is 24, and everyone else is like 18-22. So yeah… the good news is that I got over that pretty quickly. It was a really fun time, and I am glad that I went.
Saturday was Chris’s 21st Birthday party. We got there (Eric and I) at like 8:00 and started hanging out, watching some comedy, then we all played “The Game of Things…” Firstly, if you have not played that game, I REALLY encourage you to get it. It is one of the best games I have played in a really long time!!! It is SO fun, and it is really something you can play with just about anyone. We drank, we played Karaoke Revolution, and listened to music. It was good times. A little TOO good for some *wink* and well… that was that. Eric and I headed home at like 1:00.
I got up kinda early on Sunday… Sunday’s are important, as they set the tone for my whole week. I grocery shop, do laundry, and just get ready for the coming week. So I did that then I met up with Lindsay, Chris, and Brian at Mimi’s Café for lunch. That was good times! I then headed to Panera at Green Hills (I got it right this time) to meet Eric T. for a NiH publicity meeting. I showed him around a new site I am working on for the group then we headed to rehearsal. By this time, I am EXHAUSTED!!! I could barely keep my eyes open during rehearsal. I was on auto-pilot. Thank God we didn’t do the song that features Kristin and I singing duet. It would have been bad. 
After rehearsal I headed to Opry Mills to meet Meadow for dinner.
Meadow, the alto formerly known as Kim, is a friend from grade school. I have known her about as long as I have known Kendra, but we are not nearly as close… at least yet. I do, however, see the potential here for re-kindling this friendship. I firmly believe that people come into and out of your life at the right time(s) for all the right reasons. Meadow is having what I will call a life awakening. She is happier than I can ever remember and I am so thrilled for her and the direction that she is going in her life! We are making plans to hang out again and I have invited her to Game Night this Friday. I hope that she can make it!
Anywho… that about sums up my weekend and it certainly was a weekend for the books!
Here’s to a great week ahead!!!
