It's so strange not being out celebrating Pride weekend in SF. I hope all my SF peeps are having a blast. I need to make sure to mark my calendar that pride happens in April here so that I won't miss it next year.

It pretty much rained off and on all weekend. I did manage to make it to Target on Saturday to do a bit of shopping. It's so nice being in walking distance of one. And that was pretty much all I did besides watching mindless television.

Today, I work on some projects that needed to get done. At least I was somewhat productive. I need to start making an effort to go out more. This staying in business is starting to drive me nuts.

Just where will I end up next is anyone's guess.

1st instant/last report

I need to remind myself that I'm not in my twenties anymore. Staying out late and drinking definitely has its repercussions the next day. I feel like I wasted my Sunday. Oh well, live and learn I guess.

Last night I went out with K&H. I haven't seen them since the Wynwood Art Walk back in April so it was nice to catch up with them. We started off the evening with wine & dinner at Bengel Modern Indian Cuisine which happens to be a couple blocks from my apartment. On the menu: garlic nan, chicken samosas, & shrimp shaag. The food was really good. It's definitely a place I'll return to.

After dinner we headed to Brickell Village for some drinks. We walked around a bit until we settled on going to Perricone's Marketplace & Cafe. They have a nice little covered bar that faces the street. We had two rounds there and then decided to head over to Wood Tavern in Wynwood. The Wood Tavern has an amazing outside space. It kind of reminded me of Zeitgeist in SF with all the picnic tables. Another spot I'll definitely return to especially since it's in my hood. We had two rounds there as well.

We finished up the evening at Churchill's, a dive bar that has live music 7 days a week. We caught the tail end of the last band who sounded pretty good. This is definitely my kind of place. The vibe was very laid back with a great jukebox and variety of peeps. It reminded me a lot of the bars I used to go to in my college days.

Most of today was spent doing absolutely nothing. I tried to rally but really couldn't be bothered. Instead I finished watching season one of Magic City which takes place in Miami circa. 1959. It's a pretty decent show.

Just where will I end up next is any one's guess.

It was another hot weekend here in Miami. I spent the weekend at my sister's house since she is heading out of town next week. On Saturday we did some marathon shopping. I ended up getting some curtains for my office, a frying pan, and a queen air mattress for when I have guests. Today we spent the morning lounging around and then went to my nephew's baseball game. Did I mention it was hot? I felt like I was sitting in a sauna while watching the game. It sure is nice spending time with family. Just where will I end up next is any one's guess.

a promise

Can I please rewind my weekend? I felt like I didn't actually have one since all my time was spent in front of my computer trying to save files from my faulty external hard drive. Computer maintenance is no fun.

On the bright side, my new recliner arrived on Saturday via my brother-in-law. Yay! Now I don't have to lay on an air mattress when I want to watch movies on my computer. I'm absolutely loving my new comfy chair. Only two more major purchases until my apartment is complete.

Today, I did manage to take a mini-break from computer stuff and took a little walk in my hood. It was freakin' hot out. When I got back, I immediately changed into my bathing suit and headed up to the pool where I spent the rest of the day.

Just where will I end up next is any one's guess.
