sophia inspired me to do this. (she’s doing it as well…so go check hers out after you read mine: http://www.pinkielarue.com/)
it’s basically a year in review. you are supposed to write once a day for every day in december, but since i’m starting a little late i’ll do what i can to catch up. Read rules and what not HERE: http://blog.20sb.net/2009/12/the-best-of-2009-challenge.html
ok, so here it goes.
What was your best trip in 2009? The best trip I took in 09 is the ONLY trip i took in 09. ROAAAAD TRIP 09! Me and Emily drove from detroit to san antonio, with a few stops in between. We stayed in Memphis for a couple nights and partied with soph. We discovered the greatness that is beale street and big ass beers. We ate some Memphis bbq and we visited sun studio. We got stopped by a HOT cop! We spent a few hours in a tornado warning. And then as a parting gift, we got bedbug bites. 
From Memphis we drove to Dallas. In Dallas we partied with Emilys friend Daniel. There was some interesting drama, empty bars, and an entertaining IHOP waiter. From Dallas we went to San Antonio where we stayed the majority of the time. We stayed at Sam and Pams house, and holy shizzz it was HOT! (remind me to never move to texas.) We swam, we sweated, we did beer bongs, we sweated, we swam some more, we drank some beer and we went to the riverwalk (beautiful!) and ate at hard rock cafe. My bedbug bites were extra itchy in San Antonio and Alison developed a lovely heat rash on our last day there. We flew home, and we definitely looked pretty rough at the airport. Emily slept the whole flight home which just left me with my music and the window.
Share the best restaurant experience you had this year. Who was there? What made it amazing? What taste stands out in your mind? I am sort of going to copy sophias answer for this question. I generally do not go to resteraunts often, and when I do I always choose the same places over and over again. Therefor, no amazing experiences really come to mind. HOWEVER, in January, once I got my feet back on american soil…I couldn’t get to a buffalo wild wings fast enough. I wasn’t really expecting chicken wings to be the american food I missed the most, but I ALWAYS craved them while I was in amsterdam. 8 chicken wings with medium sauce and a side of ranch (ohhhh I missed ranch while i was gone too) never tasted so good, and i’m pretty sure it’ll never taste that good again. I even documented it.
Book. What book – fiction or non – touched you? Where were you when you read it? Have you bought and given away multiple copies? I haven’t read much this year. Actually, i’m pretty sure all I’ve read this year were bukowski books. I read Post Office, Ham on Rye and Factotum. Ham on Rye was my favorite of the 3, and I read it in two days in May. I read it when I first started nannying for tasha and she was only 3 months old …and boring (for lack of a better word). During that time I also read the first twilight book (which did not live up to all the hype). I kind of miss those days where I could get some reading in at work, these days I can’t even read a magazine without her tearing it out of my hands. Anyway, I havne’t given away any copies but I definitley recommend you read it…it’s an easy read and quite entertaining.
ok that’s it. Just 3 entries. I’ll do 3 a day I think….check back soon.
