I Heart MN.

I'm in Minneapolis and I'm still not feeling totally up to par. And I got my brother sick. Ick. My head hurts, my appetite is definitely not back to normal, and my body temperature is still fluctuating. I am just a big mess; I don't feel fun to be around. :( I hope I feel better in the next few days, but at least I'm here and I don't feel like TOTAL crap (aka Tuesday and Wednesday crappiness).

Yesterday, I got in and went to Jason's house for a few hours to chill and freshen up. Then, I went out to Brianna's house in Bloomington to get ready for dinner at Spoonriver. Great place! All vegaterian and organic; really yummy! We went out afterwards to The Local and Brit's Pub - Minneapolis in the summertime is the frickin BOMB. Outdoor movies, patios, the lakes, drink specials, the State Fair (my favorite thing ever)! So many great things! I love Minneapolis!

Today, I left Brianna's (on time for once) and went to Target to get batteries for the new camera. :) Then, I met Kathy and Cody (my old boss and her son, whom I "tutored") at their house so we could go to lunch. I couldn't believe how tall Cody had gotten!! He's taller than me! But still the same old Cods.

They redid their living room and kitchen, so I admired that, then we went out to Pizza Nea (a really great gourmet pizza place) for lunch. We chatted for a while, it was really fun, then Kathy treated me to lunch and sent me home with the leftovers! She's so sweet. They'll be in Green Bay on Labor Day, so we're going to meet at Curly's in Lambeau Field for lunch. That should be a good time as well!

Now I'm at Sebastian Joe's checking my email and eating some homemade ice cream. It's so good here. I love it. After this, I'm going to hang out in uptown, either at the lakes or at a bookstore or at a coffee shop. Somewhere relaxing. I'm just taking it easy. :)
