Weekend in Review: July 16-18, 2010

I know I’ve been promising to blog about this past weekend but honestly, so much has happened and so much still needs to be done. So, sorry for the delay!

I guess I will start my weekend on Thursday; you will need to know Thursday’s events to understand Saturday’s events.

Thursday night Migo’s friend from high school and college flew in from Detroit (he lives in Ohio). His plane was supposed to take off earlier in the evening and land at 8:00pm EST. Did that happen? Of course not. They pushed back take-off until 8:00pm which means the flight wouldn’t land until after 10:00pm. All I am thinking at this point is, *facepalm*. Migo & his friend had decided that when he landed we would all go to Blue Martini for Latin Night and the later his flight, the later we got home. That didn’t make me a happy camper but I put on a smilie face anyway.

8:00 comes around and they are just starting to board the plane when a passenger decides to pass-out, long story short – that delayed the plane’s take-off another hour. Take off was at 9:16 and the plane landed just before midnight EST.

After circling arrival pickup four times at Terminal B (where the plane was supposed to part) we couldn’t find said friend. Again, long story short… I suppose since the plane was hours behind, the Terminal was full and the plane had to taxi to Terminal A…. on the other side of the airport. So we drive all the way to the other side of the airport to Terminal A where we start circling the arriving flights passenger pickup area. He says he is there but we can’t find him! Come to find out, he didn’t leave through the baggage claim area which puts you in the pick up area. He left through the departing flight ticketing area, which is on the second floor where you DROP OFF passengers. *FACEPALM*

Friday – Friday, Migo and I found out a mutual friend of ours was hospitalized for a flair up of Crohn’s Disease. :( Definitely not cool, the poor thing was in so much pain. Later that night, we saw “Inception”. GREAT MOVIE.

Saturday – Saturday we learned a family member has a large mass within one of her lungs so we basically spent the weekend with family and Migo’s nieces and nephew. Said family member is kind of scared but we’re all hoping and praying for the best. A biopsy will be done later this week.

Saturday was also the night of the pointless fight between Migo and I that I tweeted about. It really was pointless but we were both so adamant to get our points across it became funny. Basically the point of the argument was him getting upset with me for something that happened that he ALREADY KNOWS I would be upset over. I got upset over something that happened while out and about with his friend who came to visit and the friends he brought out and about with us. My reaction to what happened shouldn’t have been a surprise to him, I really am an open book. This may sound confusing because I haven’t shared the entire story, but it really is long and boring and this post is already long enough!

Sunday – Work, Shopping at Express, swimming at Aquatica with Migo’s family, then home.

Monday – Drive to airport, grab starbucks. Work. Work. Work. Work. Visit friend in hospital. Went bowling, I won. :-) Worked some more when I got home.

And that my friends, is my highly boring weekend in review.

xoxo!

The “Upitty” people that go to Starbucks.

Everyone who knows me knows that I got to Starbucks a lot, definitely more than I should. The obvious reason is the price of their beverages, but you know what? I thoroughly enjoy my Cafe Vanilla Frappuccino and haven’t been able to find anything that even remotely compares to that heavily caloried goodness. Whole Milk and Whip Please!

Anyways, on to the point of this post. I have a really big peeve and that’s the comments that a lot of people like to make about the people that always go to Starbucks and won’t go to McDonald’s for a coffee-like beverages even though it’s a helluva lot cheaper.

These people like to assume that everyone who goes to Starbucks either A) has a lot money B) is “above” the cheaper coffee and the people that get that C) are stuck up because they “have money”

Now, I am definitely not saying that everyone thinks this but I do hear comments like above a lot because a ton of people see me with Starbucks, see my tweets about Starbucks, and of course when I talk and the subject comes up, I talk about Starbucks. Above are frequent comments I’ve heard in response.

Another thing I am told a lot is that I “should get a vanilla frappe from McDonald’s” for like, a dollar. That’s fabulous but you know what? I don’t like them. Sure, I’d save money but I don’t like them. I prefer Starbucks. Does that make me “rich, stuckup, and too good for everyone else”, most definitely not. I also prefer 7-11‘s French Vanilla Cappuccino’s over Starbucks’, does that make me cheap? No.

Stop hatin against Starbucks and the people that prefer it! It’s not cool!

Should have stuck with the Big Salad

I believe karma has stricken me with tasteless lunch because I strayed from my diet. Today, deciding to give Breakfast Club’s breakfast a try, I got the Country Fried Steak & Eggs.

CFS & Eggs - Breakfast Club

Country Fried Steak & Eggs - Breakfast Club

Total #FAIL. The CFS was soggy, the eggs were watery, and the hash browns were soft and cold. I was rather disappointed in today’s meal, not saying Breakfast Club makes bad CFS but today it was not good. Maybe it’s because they were closing soon, who knows? Maybe it’s Karma saying “Keleigh, DON’T EAT THAT!”. It does, however, seem kind of pointless to work out every morning then eat like crap.

Definitely going to stick with my Big Salad next time.

Salad Goodness – Lunch 03.04.10

Today I went to Breakfast Club in Downtown Orlando for some lunch. I’ve always driven past the restaurant but never really gave much thought to eating there since I eat breakfast at home. Well, thanks to my dearest nemisis Marky Mark, I discovered they had lunch. Not really sure what I wanted but wanting to stay on my healthy diet I decided to have a chef salad. Let me tell you, this salad was AMAZING. I wish I could let you taste it from my blog it was so good! Like, ORGASM IN YOUR MOUTH GOOD! Haha!

Here are a few pics of my Green Salad Goodness. Maybe I should simply call it, the “Big Salad”. Seinfeld anyone?
