This day was another adventurous day out and about with friends. Like I said yesterday: debauchery, Indian food, and kayaking were on the agenda for today. Mission Accomplished!
Jackie and I ventured to the lake to rent kayaks for exercise and to enjoy the beautiful Austin weather and scenery. Nothing exciting happened except that we did get lost. I looked on my GPS for the name of the place, but when you can't remember it, the GPS can't read your mind. It did however offer a visual of our location compared to the thick blue line. I drove towards it, and there it was, The Rowing Dock. We paddled upstream for half of our rental time and then "floated" back, but by floated, I mean paddled. Jackie is hardcore and wasn't about taking relaxing breaks. It was beautiful outside and I wanted to enjoy it.
We had a few hours to kill before we needed to get ready for dinner and sitting at the bar at Hula Hut was a good use of 30 minutes. ha. The food was good and so were our drinks, but we paid for alcohol and we didn't taste or feel any...disappointment. Again, it was nice to sit on the dock and enjoy the weather and watch a turtle swim aimlessly around begging for food.
As the afternoon grew old, I was growing anxious and nervous simultaneously about my first Indian meal that was soon to happen. This dinner was with a very good friend who has been asking me to eat Indian food for quite a while and the usual suspects from this week...except Wendy. Not sure what happened with her, she said she would go and then...well, I needn't say more.
Dinner was surprisingly GREAT! There was bread (always fantastic even though it did have fennel, or was it rye? either way, I don't like those seeds), delicious chicken, and sauces of all kinds, and did I mention bread? I was expecting the worst and things that I wouldn't even want to put in my mouth and what I got was the opposite. It was also wonderful discussion with friends about the obnoxious ladies sitting next to us and the fact that someone was having a bachelorette dinner at this Indian restaurant.
My agenda for today is almost complete, but still missing the debauchery. When I pulled into my parking lot, we noticed my neighbor was outside with someone else. I haven't mentioned this neighbor before, but we're not sure if he's Jesse's type or mine. *wink*wink* In order to discover which of us he is better suited for, we kind of stalk him. Jackie and Jesse were constantly looking out my window asking, "Is anyone out there?" They even insisted that we walk Tiva every 5 minutes to see if he was out there. If he was out and they saw him, they claim that they would invite him over to play a game, but they are too chicken for that. Needless to say, we played the game by ourselves, without Neighbor Boy (until I think of a better moniker for him).
Tomorrow I head to visit my sister and her family. Blogs probably won't be as event-filled, but I'll do my best with what happens.
