After last weekend I needed to have my faith renewed that taking the day off and traveling out of town was worth it. My weekend defiantly did that. In addition it helped me whittle away my bucket list. Let’s start with Bulls Eyes. I’ve wanted to learn to shoot a gun for years now. My dad has guns and enjoys going to the shooting range. Recently I learned that he’s taken my mom. Well, it finally dawned on me that maybe my dad would enjoy taking me to the shooting range. So, for his birthday I suggested it and it was a success. He knew a man who is a retired Police Officer and gives lessons so he set me up with a lesson. It was amazing. It didn’t make me want to go out and buy a gun, but it was a great experience. I got to shoot a pistol and an automatic. I like shooting the pistol much better, more accurate and the shells aren’t going to possibly hit me in the head and I don’t have to scrounge around to clean them up after I’m done. Check out my first target. Pretty good if I say so myself. I think I’ll hang it in my entryway. This way if anyone plans of robbing me they are forewarned that if they have a gun and stand less then 21feet away they will be taken down by me. Yes, they need to provide their own gun. Why should I carry a gun?
Go-cart racing: I’ve never driven a go-cart before. It was a lot of fun zooming around the track, but after about 30 minutes I felt quite nauseous. One of the things on my bucket list was to drive a racecar. I did some research and found a local racetrack that gave lessons. I was all ready to sign up, but now I think I’ll pass. I don’t like feeling nauseous.
Laughing with friends over great food: Friday night I met up with friends for dinner and it was a blast. My girlfriends squeezed by everyone to come sit next to me. It could have just been the two of us having dinner because we laughed the whole time. Everyone probably thought we were crazy, but we were having the time of our lives. It’s wonderful when you meet people and you just click. I met her at my girlfriends wedding and from the moment we met we were rolling with laughter. You would of though we were old friends the way we were laughing. If someone can make me laugh like that I instantly love them.
Perfect Dates: I totally love dating my friends. It is so fun when the two of you feel comfortable enough to not feel like you have dress up, take a shower or you have to plan out this extravert expensive date. It shows that you are great friends and can just have fun together. You don’t have to worry about what you say; you can talk about taboo subjects, and laugh at the dumbest things. You can just be you and have a perfect time together. Seriously, who would think tearing out the subfloor of a bathroom would be part of the perfect date. Or going rollerblading and when you run across the guy that canceled your date because I said it wasn’t love at first sight you can both laugh about it. (I resisted from saying to him "This could have been you, NOT!!!" I'm so glad he bailed because I just know that this date was 10000 times better.) I have to say it was hilarious cute that we matched too. Now that was funny and totally unplanned. These are the times I wish I carried a camera with me because that would have been the cutest picture ever. I love a man that cooks for me and eats through out the day. I know you probably think this strange, but I was married to someone that regulated my eating and it drove me nuts. So, when my friends keep me fed I feel like I’m in heaven. I have low blood sugar so I need to eat ever couple of hours and it’s not always easy and quite awkward if you aren’t both on the same eating schedule. So I totally love this friend because he is health conscious and eats. Wow, the best of both worlds.
Another Fabulous Date: On Sunday another friend invited me over for dinner. Did I tell you I love having friends that cook for me. I also love playing games and he'll play them with me. Let me tell you about our first date. It was quite amazing. I had been working on this outfit and I finally got it together right before we were to get together. We had made some other plans, but I was totally excited to wear my outfit so we changed our plans and he took me swing dancing so I could show off my fabulous outfit. Let's just say I was the bell of that ball. Every heard turned when I walked in and those that came in after me all had to do a double take. I looked that amazing.
I know every weekend can't be Epic, but I'm looking forward to another amazing weekend. I'm taking next Friday off so I can hook up with yet another amazing friend. It doesn't matter what we end up doing because what ever we do we will be rolling with laughter the whole time. It's just a guarantee.
