Woo-hoo! It's Friday and I am SO ready for this weekend! Even though this is my last Friday at my current job, the fact that I have so much going on helps me to not think about the fact that I'm about to be a jobless hobo...
Tonight, I get to meet some ah-mazing local ladies for a GNO! It all started when Jenn, Becca & I were tweeting last Sunday night. I decided to email these ladies the following day and suggest we finally meet up. We all told our mutual Tampa blogger friends and it kind of went from there. I believe there are 12 of us meeting up? I can't wait. This little ol' blog has taken off for me in the sense that I've emailed, tweeted and texted with quite a few gals and have formed some friendships that I wasn't expecting. It's great and I'm really excited for tonight!
Saturday, hubs and I are meeting with our friends for Gasparilla. Oh you've never heard of it? The cliff notes version goes like this: Parade o' pirates (arrrgh) in floats invade Tampa Bay. People get tipsy (ok, some get wasted) and catch beads from said floats. It is sort of like Mardi Gras but the history behind it is different. Basically it's an excuse to drink during the day and act a fool for some plastic beads that will undoubtedly collect dust in a random closet. Still, it's more fun that it sounds, I swear.
Not gonna lie, sometimes I celebrate the parade a tad too festively and am ready to go home and crash by 7pm (I mean we do start at 10am so what do I expect?). This year, however I am meeting up with the bestie afterward (who is not coming to the parade), and going to see Zac Brown Band in concert! I am sooo excited! These guys are one of my fave country bands and I have yet to see them live.
I'm hoping to sleep, recover and snuggle with The Geeg (and spouse?) on Sunday before facing the last two days at the job...
What's up for your weekend?
