Weekend Update 5/16-5/18: Courtenay, Saide, Jale, where you at?!?

[Kaity Houk]

Miss you all... Where are the silent ones?? just because we can't see your faces doesn't mean that you can ignore these weekend updates! Goofballs :)

OK so here's my update: 

Friday, got pretty stressed at work, actually really stressed the whole week, and officially began reaching out to connections in Seattle for the next job. Carpe fckin diem. Ain't nobody got time for stress. My dark circles are getting circles.

Reached out to my Airbnb host, Katherine, to go out for drinks in Oakland. She recruited two other girls to come out with us, and it became this awesome bar-hopping girls night! Haven't drank that much since the last time Katherine and I went out. One of the girls I met, Sarah Spanko, has such an effed up life story right now: I couldn't squeeze it all out, but what I got is that she caught her fiancee cheating on her, and left him and everything in Austin TX to come live on an inflatable bed in her sister's apartment. POOR THING! She's super sweet, and a great artist - check out this: abstractartbysarahspanko.com - I'm hoping to help her out with some graphic design / art jobs in the area. It's still pretty raw for her :(

Saturday, did the Metro of shame home after crashing on Katherine's couch. Spent the whole day marathoning True Detective. Finished the season.

Sunday, BAY TO BREAKERS! A San Francisco tradition to parade up the entire 12k race course from the Bay in the East to the Breakers out to the West. Dressed up for the Duck Hunt theme (the video game, not the TV show). Didn't get the memo that people were going to be zebras and spice girls instead. Oops. I was still a great duck. We pregamed with mimosas, bloodies, and a PINCH of a pot brownie because I was warned it was strong. Walked about halfway through the race - EDM, dancers, people generally partying in the streets. So much happy. Saw someone dressed as the Throne from Game of Thrones, and several Khaleesis walking around. Paused to lay out in the sunshine in the "panhandle park," and then split up to go home. Highly recommend being a part of B2B at some point in time in your lives. 

Thankful for you guys as always!

CARPE YOLO HOUKY! You seem to be working hard but playing harder (the only way). Loving the drinking & dressing up--you never will leave those FYP roots behind!

Friday - also stressy day at work. BUT then got drinks with Caleb who I haven't seen/talked to since probably 2011? It was actually really nice to catch up with him, and he and I might get a FYP DC game night going (like Logan & Robert's in NYC). Then went over to Adam's for late food and *&%#f@ and sleep.

Saturday - lazy day, went to Polish brunch with Adam in Petworth (MMM & cute area), then "lumped around" catching up on TV shows (thanks for the phrase, Rookie Squirrel).

Sunday - NJ with the rents to belatedly celebrate my grandmother's 91st! Home to make quesadillas and watch GoT.

Hello lovely ladies -

Sorry for being MIA - lots of running around for work (going into crazy hour season once again) so mostly just netflix binge watch when i'm not working from home in the evening. But i finally got promoted! So this lit another fire under my butt to prove that they were right to give me one. 

Other than that this past weekend:

Friday - crazy stressful day at work but managed my first proposal and sent it out (fingers crossed we win and i lead it WOO) then went gin bottling in Green Hat Distillery - BEST THING EVER - they repay you by making gin and tonics with their own gin and ordering dinner - then went out on H street with michelle and had a long night 

Saturday - mimosas and puppies and pints at atlas brewery then go home and fall asleep at 9

Sunday - bed rest and working from home

miss you all!

Heya!

Thursday was Rachael's bday, but she was working late at the hospital so we didnt celebrate until Friday

Friday: after work, rach and I met some friends for a few drinks at a local brewery. My mom and Dad met up with us for a little and then our family left for birthday dinner at our favorite Thai restaurant. YUMM. After dinner Rach and I met up with friends downtown and bar hopped around and people watched a middle of the street dance party. Beale Street is a crazy place. I love it. 

Saturday: lazed about in the morning for a while before beginning a deep clean of my kitchen. It's so clean now!! that evening, Miles picked me up and we went downtown for this biking festival thing. Basically Memphis is trying really hard to up their game when it comes to the biking community in town. So they put on this festival to promote biking around town and all that. Miles works at a bike shop and knew a bunch of people down there. We left after a while to go catch the new Godzilla movie which was pretty awesome. I mean it's your typical monster/action movie, but Godzilla is a bamf and it was awesome. We got back to his house after the movie and finally talked about us. So we're keeping things at a casual, friends with benefits type thing. Which works for me for now because I'm still a little wary of a full on relationship at the moment. But I like this guy a lot, and I'm pretty sure i'm getting myself into trouble if I realize that I want things to be more serious and he doesn't. Eff. 

Sunday: got home and immediately turned right back around to meet friends for drunk brunch. My trivia team saves up our winning money until we have a good amount, and then we go all out for a Sunday Funday! this one wasn't as raucous as some of our previous brunches, but still a lot of fun. Rachael and I leave after a while and veg out in front of the tv until dinner. GoT later with friends. then BED!

Hiiii loves! Love all your updates, reading about your weekends is the greatest (I pretend I'm there for all of the fun things!!! Minus the romantic parts heh heh).

Squeah, love ya and miss ya roomie darlin, yay for NJ fam times! Sarah sweet on the brewery and the Sunday funnnnday!! And miles better know how lucky he is to be with you!!!

Friday -- nothing, got all stressed out because I was going to be taking the fundamentals of engineering test the next day!!!!!! Ahh!

Saturday -- took the effing thing!!!!! YAYYY RELIEF. find out if I passed in 7-10 days, ahhh. Saturday evening lumped around, nothing crazy because I was so pooped post exam.

Sunday -- was supposed to run a 15k out in Middleburg, an hour away. Ha. my coworker and I go, she sleeps through her alarm, we nearly run out of gas in the middle of nowhere. Finally show up an hour late and run the 5k which was super fun and it was a gorgeous day and she's a really hilarious, fun person so it was great!!! I'm actually really glad I didn't do the 15k cos I did NOT train one bit. Went to brunch with Chris and his friends and drank a BUNCH. Walked friend's dog and went to watch Chris play softball (he was even drunker than me and it was hilarious to watch that game haha). I then proceed to get the worst cramps I have EVER had. Bleugh. So recovered at Chris', watched game of thrones, roll credits on the weekend!!

Wooooo!

Love you guys so much

Hi long lost loves - sorry KIPP sucks you dry a little during testing season! 

Ariel!! The fucking exam!! It's over!! Congrats Ariel! I have my fingers crossed for your results (though I have so much confidence in you :) ) 
Sarah ahh! The stressful dtr! Sounds like things went ok and I'm glad it went ok and I really like miles so far from emails :p 

Congrats on your first proposal Saide! (The work kind! I realize as I write it!) 

Whoa bay to breakers looks like so much fun!! And yikes poor girl - also though her art is super cool!

My weekend was ok- mama Lewis was visiting!! But I was crazy sick the whole time :( they just tested me for mono yesterday so hoping that's not it! 

Chris met mama on Saturday! I'd planned drinks and dinner but after drinks (one strong water for me thanks) we realized I wouldn't make it out. We went back to Chris's cause my upstairs neighbors were having a loud pregame and he got us takeout. That I proceeded to lose all over the floor of his garage on the way to the car. Wow great first impression. But also something about a guy that will wipe vom off your cheek for you... Mama was duly impressed. 

Love to you all!!
