Friday Bullets: Wear your sunscreen edition
- It is 5:46 a.m. and I’m thrilled to be awake. Why? Because I seriously had the best nights sleep ever. The ingredients: exercise, light dinner, no adult beverages, 1 melatonin.
- I hope to be able to replicate this delicious night’s sleep 2-3 nights a week – because, really – saying I’m not going to drink every night is pointless. But, I think I can do 2 or 3 days.
- I’m glad to be well rested as I have two important things to do today, you know, besides work.
- I’m seeing my doctor for the annual examination of my very pale skin. I’ve had 3 spots removed in the past, and they’ve all been non-cancerous, but better safe than sorry.
- Sunscreen is important.
- Also, I have a dreaded trip to the eye doctor, where I’m pretty sure he’ll tell me, “You’re blind!”
- Most importantly, tonight is one of my very favorite events in Portland – Zoo Brew! Basically, there are all these craft brewers and you get to wander around the zoo with a glass full of beer. Tell me that is not awesome! (though, last year all the animals were sleeping – except this guy.) We had our hearts set on getting pictures taken near animals, so we had to compromise and take photos with fake animals.
- How was your Memorial Day Weekend? Mine was fantastically spent eating delicious food and drinking adult beverages in the sun.
- If you want to see all the things I cooked, um, grilled. Go over here. Not pictured, Smitten Kitchen’s Slaw Tartare which was fantastic. And, despite what my lovely friend Cherie thought, there is no raw meat in the slaw.
- Of course, my boyfriend would not even TRY the coleslaw which broke my heart. He said he didn’t like it. How does one know if they don’t like something before they try it?
- OH! So, last night, I was minding my own damn business and running on the treadmill in my lame apartment gym. I see something moving out the window and find some little hellion child out in the bark dust in her bare feet with a squirt gun. But, then, I look further up the window and what do I see? A BULLET HOLE, THAT’S WHAT!
- Surely it’s from a pellet gun or something, and certainly courtesy of one of the little hellions that live in my apartment complex. But, seriously? Control your damn kids!
- Anyway, the moral of the story is, I think it’s high time I restart my house hunt.
- And, that’s all I have. Enjoy your weekend, lovelies!

29. May - 10:48 amZoo Brew reminds me of the Atlanta “Primal Mating Party” that they had at Zoo Atlanta a few years ago — a singles event, complete with plenty of alcohol and all the zoo animals. Unfortunately, it was mid-summer, and while my pink dress was adorable, the frizzy hair that came with it was not.

Doesn’t it drive you crazy when someone says they don’t like something without ever tasting it? Especially when it’s a someone you know very well, like a boyfriend or a family member. Not that I have any experience with that.

29. May - 12:16 pmI always say I don’t like things without tasting them. Because I know I won’t like them. :)

29. May - 12:29 pmIt also drives me crazy when someone won’t try things because there is ONE ingredient they don’t like in it and the ingredient is only a fraction of the whole dish. Like egg yolks in my strawberry shortcake. Hello? Who doesn’t like strawberry shortcake, even with egg yolks?
Zoo brew sounds awesome.

29. May - 12:57 pmHuzzah! for restful sleep, and Zoo Brew! We would totally be crashing your zoo party, but we have a DATE. A very long-anticipated one wherein we are actually hanging out outside of our apartment. THE THRILL. (No, but really. I’m excited.)

29. May - 1:13 pmZooBrew sounds amazing! Reason #6,906 why Angela must move to Portland.
I get irked when someone says they don’t like something they haven’t tried. I just love trying new things.
29. May - 1:24 pmI want to go to ZooBrew! That sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe next year.
