Adventure weekend!!
Last week was Epic Bad at work, like "I'm standing in my boss's office trying not to cry 'cause I don't want to be that girl" bad, so I was looking for a very good weekend. ;)
Friday night, Ringo and I went for a Cupcake Adventure, at "The Shoppe", a freakishly adorable Cupcake & Cereal bar on Colfax. It was delightful, the people are super-friendly and the food was delicious. <3 Josh showed up too, and we hung out 'til very late! There was thundersnow, which was freaky, so we waited until it stopped until attempting to drive.
That led to the Ice Adventure! Even though it had been a pleasantly warm day, the surprise storm iced over the roads completely. >_< So rather than take Ringo back to her car so she could (attempt to) drive home, she and I headed back to my place. Hilariously slowly. XD Fortunately it was midnight so very few people were on the roads, but I never got above 20 mph. [thumbs up] She was great moral support and I appreciate it heartily.
Saturday, once the roads were traversable again, we went on a Shopping Adventure to Denver Fabrics! It had been a while~~. We were looking for craptons of drab green twill (can you guess? can you guess?) but the selection was disappointing so we ended up at Joann's instead. I'm very happy with what we got. Hopefully these costumes will debut at Wasabi in March :)
That evening was a magical Pirate Adventure to celebrate Merry Shannon's latest book release. Because we'll use any excuse to dress up like pirates, but a successful pirate-themed novel is really the best! Plus the book recitation was amazing. Talented people here in Denver, no lie.
Today Ringo & I took it pretty easy (I fail in getting us to brunch x_x maybe some other sunday...) and started a little cosplay work. It wasn't a very adventurous day, really, but it was fun shopping at Whole Foods with nothing but women, since all the men were watching the Super Bowl. XD Coffee and a nice chat, let's call it the Anti-Super-Bowl Adventure.
This week at work the New Guy starts, so let's hope we all get along. And I don't throw anything through a window, but that's what the cosplay-therapy is for. :)
