my bff was just in town for the weekend, her first time in this state and the surrounding areas. in many ways, we're very different, but i often think our similarities over-shadow this aspect our friendship. i debated about what we should do while she was here. sadly, we're both libras, and neither of us could make a decision. i thought she may even be content just chi-laxin and drinking coffee, knowing we didn't have to do anything we didn't want.
night 1: planes lands and we get back to the house- she wants to do something. cool.. however, it dawns on me that hubby and i don't really go out a ton. i take her to main st., downtown small town usa and we chill at a couple bars- it's all good.
next day: one's first visit to st. louis would not be complete without a trip to the Arch: the gateway to the west. she was...underwhelmed. next stop: Delmar Loop- cool shops and shit. meh.
night2: kareoke!!! not a 100% she enjoyed herself.
saturday: attempt at haunted alton: fail. finding haunted cemetery was a success though nothing happened. a visit to the Lemp mansion was ill-found. we ate dinner on the landing and headed back to mi casa.
sunday: made food, watchted a doc on zombies. she decided to see what there was to see on main st. the answer my friend, is nada. main street is as empty as ever on a sunday. visit to the mall: quick. we end up at a coffee shop, then off to the airport.
for me, it was a good weekend. i feel like we did a lot. there is a part of me that is seeing the old partying of my ways has parted and we do more chilln' than gettin cuh-razy. seems like she was expecting more excitement out of this visit, and i didn't deliver. i also saw some of our differences creeping around the edges. i love antique stores and wandering. she doesn't like antiques and kitchsy(sp?) shops aren't her vibe all the time either. now i know if she were to ever come back, i will have a killer itenerary planned
