Weekend Recap: Boys & Bikes (the perfect combo!)

here goes...

Ok I am totally over work. Yes, I am totally over it in that 'my god we're adults can't we all act like it' kind of way. It's the same way that made me once march into my boss's office and tell him that I refused to ever again be on the same spine with a female (sorry, workspeak-- share a section of cubes with another female supervisor). I just can't take the drama. Well, I do spine share with another female right now, but the funny thing is that she isn't even the problem. WHAT is it about WOMEN?! This is why I hang out with boys. No freaking drama. But, this is also why I have heard a rumor at work about myself sleeping with every boy I hang out with at one time or another, but I guess that's the price you pay...

So anyway, onto better topics-- BOYS! oh wait, k not a new topic, but still fun. SO-- first of all-- meeting the friends at Friday's party! GREAT! You can tell so much about someone by the way he is around his friends. And, well, now I'm hooked. The boyfriend is great, the boyfriend's friends are great (for the most part), and I am just very very happy right now. Steph and I definitely had a good time. And he was pretty much perfect-- just the right amount of cuteness. You can totally tell we've gotten a lot more comfortable. But, it's still early and I still don't know him inside and out... I'm just trying not to get too caught up too soon. Still too many unknowns. we'll see.

In other boy news, let me just tell you that my favorite boys on earth are BIKERS! noooo not the old bearded drunk kind, the young hot superbike racer kind!!! This weekend the company paid for us to go see a big race for one of our sponsored racers, who happens to race in the AMA Superbike class. And, well, bikes are hot. And I totally have a new crush. His name is Ben Spies and he is soooo cute. (and he WINS!) And c'mon girls-- how can a fearless guy who drives bikes 180 MPH around curves so tight that his knees hit the ground NOT be hot?! ok, so Al will disagree, but I am hooked. I am making one of my co-workers who goes to every race get me his autograph and just happen to slip him my phone number this weekend. hehehehe. I may even decide to like bikers more than pirates... ;) maybe I can convince the new boy he needs a bike. HMMMMM the possibilities...

So anyway, an awesome weekend. The trip away was great, the hotel was even very nice for the usual company fare, and the races were AWESOME! Thanks to some connections, we watched the start of Saturday's race from the Pit right up at the track. We found out later even our special paddock passes didn't really extend to the Pit, but luckily we found out AFTER we got to watch the start of the race. It was us, all the mechanics and crew, and the media. Very cool. And I even got to watch the second race on TV when I got home, so I got to see all perspectives. I now understand why people think racing is cool. (BUT- disclaimer: I will NEVER understand NASCAR. And thank god the boy is not a fan. there would have been issues!)

So, I am attaching some pics to check out below-- I am including the best shot I was able to get of our rider on the track (hey give me a break! it's 180 MPH!), a pic from the start right as they were all revving and about to take off, and a pic of my new crush (see, I meant to get the #20 bike that's in the center-- but the crush is to the side looking right at me as I'm taking the pic... love at first sight? :Þ)

k I am off. I am STILL recovering from last night's accounting homework :) gnight all! have a good week!
