And the sun came out today and blessed us.
It started with a rainy Friday.
There goes my recycling bin, off to start her new life.
It's been a year since I started weight lifting and I love it. I'm proud of myself for being consistent and doing what's right for me, long-term. I usually lift m/w/f after work. I pulled 230 on my deadlift for the first time on Friday and it felt good.
I hit up the Thai plug for some bomb refuel.
I rarely watch TV or movies but it happened to be the Arab film festival at the Circle Cinema this weekend and I went last year and enjoyed it, so I went to see “The Boy from Heaven” with a friend.
I honestly loved the movie. There are so many great films out there that I am missing out on. I try to spend most of my time doing something that will be beneficial for my future self so I sometimes view watching TV/movies as a waste of time but of course, no time that you enjoy is wasted.
After the movie I went home to sleep, I had a kids birthday party in the morning so I just wanted to be well rested.
If you haven't caught on yet I'm pretty hardcore about my sleep 😅.
I took a blank sketchbook and added fringe and covered it in this funky fabric for the birthday girl. I can't just give gifts, they must be customized.
I love it, maybe I'll make a few more 🤔. I go hard with a glue gun, it's my preferred tool.
The birthday party was at one of those trampoline parks. I proceeded with caution because my ankle still remembers a hard landing that had me limping through an airport. There's a reason you have to sign so many waivers to participate, muy peligroso.
After the party I came home and picked up, swept, mopped, washed my sheets, reset my house a bit.
You can probably guess that my interests tend to reach far and wide and one of them is breakdancing. I don't breakdance…yet…but I love to watch other people do it. There was a competition on Saturday afternoon so I went and watched the battles and feats of strength and style.
The DJ was killing it and the vibes were immaculate. I want to see more of this here 😌.
I left the battles a little early to catch up with my friend papi and his friend who was visiting from Guate. When we all get together it's non-stop laughing, which is my favorite thing to do.
I bounced from his house and stopped by the after party for the battles and caught some more live mixed hip hop, I love it so much. The scratching…the bounce of it…chefs kiss.
All the party energy in my mind had seemingly drained out so I rolled home to jump in my cozy bed with my freshly washed sheets. The first time in the bed after you wash your sheets…bliss.
Sundayyyy
The sun! It came out, it kissed my skin, and I soaked in it like a lizard. Which brings me to my next million dollar idea: adult sized heat rocks, so one could lizard up if desired.
I went to bluegrass brunch con mis amigos who had never been. They also remarked that they had never seen someone play a steel guitar. Such a beautiful sound, they loved it. This band plays every Sunday at the Merc (Mercury Lounge) it's a band full of incredibly talented musicians (which is the case often in Tulsa). Definitely a blessing to be experience these musicians.
Sunday eve was very chill. I made a çoban salata and took it to my friends house where steaks were being grilled. We had cute family dinner, I love my friends 💕.
Now it's time to get some reading in before the work week starts 🌞.
