Last week was abnormal with the committee meeting, happy hour and social, that this week just seems boring. :/ The meeting was good and the socials were fun. I did get to see Joanna--which we've been trying to work out since I moved to Charlotte! & my friend Chris went with me to the HCYP social. Now, I can say I've been to Whiskey River. Not that I really care....
After the Epicenter experience, Chris and I went to Flying Saucer. I tried 2 new beers. I hated the first, Purple Haze..too much raspberry flavor. The other was a German wheat beer, supposedly close to a Blue Moon. It was okay. For now, I'll stick to my fave. I did want to try the Highland brewed in Asheville I had when I went to Intermezzo, but I couldn't remember what the other half of the name was, and they had several to choose from. All I know is it was darker than I normally like, with a more "hoppy" flavor.
Saturday evening, I went to dinner at Fiamma with Matt in Dilworth. It was really good. I would highly recommend it. Even my wine choice worked out (which rarely does since I'm such an Asti snob!). Then, we drove around and got in a fight. We recovered, and went to Picasso's for a bit. Afterwards, he drove back to my house for Round Two. On the way to work Monday morning, Matt and I talked. Basically, we can no longer be friends. It's been volatile so far and we've known each other maybe two months. I expect friendships to be supportive and comforting, not stressful and critical. It sucks to kick people out of your life, but sometimes, you just have to do it!
Sunday afternoon, Joanna came over and we talked for a bit..got a chance to catch up on what we've been doing for the past few years. I love her and hope that we can hang out again/more frequently.

It been a SLOW week so far and I am ready for 5pm Friday. I've decided to make a surprise trip to Raleigh this weekend..but will probably wind up leaving Saturday morning (I really don't like driving in the dark & I've been exhausted all week). :)
