These past couple of days have been a whole lot of fun. Friday, I sold my brother's old junky car, and later on, my fiancée and I had a night in. We ordered some 'za, did a few things around the house, and settled down for the night with a movie. It was a great time! I love spending time with Mackenzie, and I was lucky enough to get to do so again through most of the day on Sunday. Before delving into our St. Patrick's day festivities, though, let me touch on Saturday.
Saturday was AMAZING! It was a blast at our 4th Annual WQMX Red, White, and Bowl charity event in support of NEOPAT. Balls were bowled, money was raised, and fun was had all-around. The VIP acoustic performance from Ryan Larkins was so awesome. He's quite the musician; from his guitar playing to his vocals, he hit the mark. Ryan was easy to talk to and it was so cool for him to socialize with all of us and let me pick his brain about songwriting and such. His faith, family, and career are what drives him, and you can really tell he's got a genuine passion for making country music. If I wasn't a fan of his before, I sure am now!
After all that fun Saturday afternoon, I stopped by my buddy's place to have him help me take a look at my 4x4 system in the Blazer. I could write a whole blog raging at General Motors for how terrible every part that goes into locking my front end is, but I'll spare you that one. I need some new parts....
Saturday night was for the boys. My friends and I socialized at my place for a couple hours, doing nothing in particular. We just hung out; you know? It's always fun catching up, but we didn't have much of a late night.
Wrapping back around to Sunday, it was a fun day (literally). Mackenzie and I caught up with Sarah Kay at the Dusty Armadillo for their special St. Paddy's Sunday Fun Day. There were a lot of people there wearing green and smiles. It was popping!
Afterwards, we met up with Mackenzie's friends at Quarter Up, that bar/arcade place in the Falls. It's never a bad time there, too. I annihilated a mac and cheese hot dog, enjoyed some suds, and fed those arcade machines a financially irresponsible number of quarters.
A gnarly headache appeared and cut the rest of the day Sunday short for me, and it was homeward bound for a nap from there. That nap was ultimately harmful however, as I just couldn't get to sleep in the evening before my shift here. I'll be rubbing my eyes through the overnight, but we'll make it till dawn as always.
I'll tell you what, I am drained! My social battery needs some recharge and I certainly need some Z's. With nothing worthwhile to do outside in this yucky cold, it's the perfect type of day to enjoy some TV shows and rest up. So, that's exactly what I'll do here for this Monday.
I sure hope you had a fun and safe holiday weekend too! Be sure to check out our socials for pictures of all the great stuff that went down weekending with WQMX.
