Thursday

Thursday was the last day of school.  Yay!  My friend Katherine & I met up at Grapevine Craft Brewery.  We each got a flight & then a big girl beer.  I had never been there before but I loved the vibe & that they have a rotating food truck outside.  KB's Brats was there while we were there.  I was supposed to hang out with Pickles but he didn't get back from work until nearly 8 that night so we moved it to Saturday instead.

Friday

Despite not having to go to work, I still woke up at 5 am.  I was planning on taking Nash for a walk & going to the gym so I could start running again.  Nash got his walk, I did not go to the gym.  I had an appointment to donate blood at 8.  I was finally able to donate!  After months have having iron .1 too low, I was .2 above!  Because it was both National Donut Day & World Milk Day, and I had just donated blood, I went to Shipley's to celebrate both!  When I got back Nash & I chilled for a bit before I took him to Woof Gang Bakery to get his nails trimmed and a cookie.  That evening I went over to a friend's place for some grilling by the pool... where they all tried to convince me to go with them to Vegas at the end of July.  Flights are being watched...

Saturday

Saturday Nash & I hung out most of the morning.  We tried to go for a walk, but Nash wasn't having it most of the time.  See above.  Although I can't believe him.  The real feel was 110.  No thank you.  That afternoon Trey & I went to Turning Point Beer.  They just opened this year & I don't live too far from there.  They had some good beers and some fun arcade and board games.  I definitely kicked his ass at foosball and Sorry!  Although he kicked my ass at mancala & Mortal Kombat.  That night Pickles came over & we ate pizza, drank some beers, & watched a little TV.

Sunday

Sunday Pickles & I hung out all day.  We went to brunch at Lazy Dog, because it's my favorite.  Afterwards we hit up a vintage record store, where I found the soundtrack to Alice's Restaurant.  Every Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember.  Despite the fact that I thought this was a super popular song, most people I ask about it have no idea what in the world I'm talking about.  If you're one of those people and ever have 18 minutes to spare you can find it here.  However, when I told this to Pickles he stared quoting the song right then & there in the record store at which point I went all heart eyes.  Afterwards we walked next door to a vintage video game store & arcade.  We spent most of the day after that napping followed by some Space Jam before he headed home.  There is a 4 legged creature that lives in my home that is also terribly fond of Pickles.  While he was getting ready to leave Nash just laid by the door waiting for him rather than sitting with me.  When Pickles left that evening I met up with Trey for some wings, beer, & sports.  However not at Buffalo Wild Wings.  We went to BFF Asian Bar & Grill followed by Buffalo Bros.
