Simply April...
Maybe just maybe this will be the entry that will bring you up to date in my life. Or maybe not...
April:
Well in the last entry I was already to type in that April was an uneventful month, but then I found out that I was wrong, all wrong. April was a very full month indeed.
I went to Milwaukee for the first time. I went with Molly, Angela and Lisa, who are definitely excellent partners in crime. We went for an art show opening of a friend of Molly’s. The show was nice and the after gathering was nicer. We went to Blu were we listened to a bit of jazz, had an amazing view of the city, and drank martinis the size of my head. Milwaukee is really quite pretty at nighttime from the 23rd floor. I have still never seen the city in the day.
Another big event in April: I started riding my bike to work. Anywhere from 8 to 10 miles depending on the route that I take, it is a nice ride. And the 10 mile route takes me along the lake. It is lovely to be waking up while riding along Lake Michigan. It took me a bit of time, but downtown city riding no longer scares the b’jeezus out of me. I have learned to ride both offensively and defensively, now I feel safe riding almost anywhere.
I started taking yoga classes. And I have since stopped. About every 5 years or so I decide I really should be stretching more, I should take yoga. Well this is the first time I tried it. Though, in the end I decided yoga is not for me. *shrug* it was worth a try.
Geocaching. What is it, you ask. Well, people around the world hide little treasures in the woods, in local parks, at businesses, the treasure could be something sizable like a jar filled with coins or it could be simply a small sheet of paper to be signed when you find it. These treasures are logged on sites such as geocaching.com with their coordinates. Then people like my friend FuR go out with their Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and finds them. So FuR took me on some Geocaching adventures around the city, and we found some beautiful, quiet places in the city that we would have never have found otherwise. Now, my plan was to get my own GPS and become a Geocaching geek, but the GPS that I bought got lost in the mail, and I received a refund and lost momentum to become the geek that I can be.
I went to a Girlie Swap in April as well. A bunch of friends got together with the clothes they no longer want and swap them with other clothes and whatever is left at the end of the night is donated to Good Will. The reason this was an event: I obtained the coolest Farrah Fawcett shirt that night. And I just want a place to brag about it.
And the last April event: I drove to Ann Arbor to spend an evening with Jeff and Christopher who were in Michigan for the weekend from San Francisco. It is always nice to get a hug or 4 from those boys. It was also really nice to borrow a car and drive out of the city. Though I am not a huge fan of cars (give me a bicycle any day), there is something to be said for an open road with the windows open and singing bad music loudly.
Well April was so busy, that I am not going to catch you up to September. Although, I have started the next entry, therefore it will not be long.
See you on the flip-side,
Tia
