I think I left off on last Friday. My Friday consisted of a hair appointment, nail re polishing and some lightweight shopping. I went home to get a nap at around 5pm from being out all day. I ended up at Bay Street Friday night with my girl. It was nice, I met a few new people who were not nerve wrecking and I met a few who were. Nonetheless, I walked out of there with the same amount of friends I had when I got there.
Saturday morning was great for many reasons, but upsetting for one. As I stated in my previous blog, I was up early headed to the Cap Ctr to get my eyebrows down, but it never happened. I went home, prepared for the beach party at Sandy Point I was attending and rolled out with my girl. We actually passed the exit for Sandy Point and ended up going across the bridge.....since we were already over there, we went ahead and picked up 2 dozen crabs to take to the beach with us. We got there good and early so we were sure to have a nice spot to set up camp. I have a friend who showed up, but he showed up with another girl. I immediately went into "Oh no the hell he didn't mode" but he came correct. He explained to me it was just his friend who was sitting around the house doing nothing so he offered her a ride out there to kick it. At first I thought it was just game, then I had to remember how many male friends I have and how I invite them places, some ride with me and some don't. At that point, I decided to check myself and just be observant. At the end of the day, he walked with me hand and hand on the sand of the beach and noticed every time I wasn't around, calling my cell phone to see where I was at. We left the beach at about 7:00ish to go home and get ready to step back out that night....need I say where, lol.
Sunday was yet another day of fun in the sun. I went to a cookout initiated by yours truly and her partner in crime. I also had my girlfriend Jill join me. I've been trying to get her to hang out with me all summer at these cookouts I attend but she's never knew what the crowd was like, thus, skeptical about coming. Well...she really enjoyed herself and looks forward to kicking it next summer....when we do it all over again. The cookout was great and we left at about 10:00pm. We were going to head to The Street again, but something came up for me so I didn't make it. I did have a good evening without hittin the dance floor.
Monday was good, a lot of relaxing and I caught a movie. I also did some homework and house cleaning. My weekend was long enough and I had no hesitations about coming back to work this week.
Tuesday was a good day, I went to the gym and went home and did homework for my Wednesday night Final.
On Wednesday night, I went out with my professor and classmates. We went to Takoma station to listen to some Jazz. My professor is super cool. She and I had a blast together and the company of all the gentlemen in the class was wonderful too. They made sure the professor and I kept our glasses full. I only had two drinks due to the need to drive home. Another thing I found out that night was one of my classmates has a crush on me. We had small conversation and exchanged numbers but I am not reading into it at all. One thing is for sure, I had a blast with them all and that was the first time i'd kicked it with my fellow Strayer attendees.
Last night (Thursday) I ended up at Jasper's on Greenbelt Road with my girlfriend Boog. We had a couple drinks, snacked on some munchies and got in some good conversations. Boog put me on blast with one of the guys, I was hating her then, but I loved her for it when it was all said and done. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow or later tonight. I must go for now.

Nice Labor Day Weekend
So let me start with last Thursday. I was very excited for my fun filled weekend to start. Though originally, I was supposed to be going home to MI, I ended up sticking around town to do the local activities.
On Thursday at 4:00pm, I had the infamous Spa appointment. Though I had scheduled it originally for a week before it actually happened and Nok (yes that is her real name, I am not keeping it confidential. I want you all to know who NOT to go see should you need a massage.) called and cancelled about an 2 hours before my appointment which made me immediately feel like this was going to be a bad experience. I had spoke with her earlier that day to confirm and she asked me then could I come any earlier. I let her know I couldn't due to my work schedule and she said okay. So for her to call me back that same day and tell me something came up and she needed to cancel was a lie. The reason she wanted me to come early, is the same reason she called and cancelled. *On a side note, I have to admit, when I got the certificate and saw where it was from, Technicolor Day Spa at Cap Ctr Blvd I immediately thought to myself, I wonder if this place is as ghetto as it looks every time I walk by. Anyway, when I arrived on Thursday, I was greeted and taken to the back by Dee, the nail tech. For the record, Dee done a excellent job on my pedicure. The only thing wrong, was she didn't paint the entire toenail and she painted my nails a color she thought was good, not what I actually wanted. But the service part was the actual pedi and mani which she gets two thumbs up on. After Dee completed my pedi, Nok came and got me for my massage. She told me to get undressed and she'd be back. So I checked the clock to see what time it was, the massage was supposed to be for an hour. After I laid down, I could hear all the conversations going on at the hair salon. It was a bunch of chatter mixed with louder "ambiance" music in the massage room, not very relaxing at all. Not to mention nobody offered me any beverages or refreshments of any kind. Forty-five minutes later, Nok was done, I didn't say anything about my shorted time, I really would've loved my 15 minutes but decided to let it alone. I then expected her to do my eyebrow wax because I saw all the necessary tools in the massage room. Instead, she sent me back out to Dee for my manicure. In an effort to not mess up their flow or tell them how to run their business, I didn't ask why wasn't she doing my eyebrows then, I figured there was a method to their madness. I then noticed while Dee was finishing up my manicure, Nok went in with another client. This means I would need to wait at least 60 minutes until she was ready. With that in mind, I left after telling Dee she didn't not provide my final service and I can be back the following moring. I asked Dee to tell her to call me later that evening. When I didn't hear from her, called her, she answered the phone, stated that Dee gave her the message. I couldn't figure out why she didn't call me as soon as she realized the error she made. We agreed on another time, which was Saturday morning at 9am. By the time I left the Spa, I was so stressed at the service I received, I felt like I needed a massage. Originally, my girlfriend who purchased the spa gift certificate on behalf of my co-workers for my birthday was supposed to go with me, i'm glad she didn't. There is only one massage room (that I noticed) and both of us likely would've had an attitude. I would not recommend Technicolor Salon & DaySpa to anyone if you are looking to truly be pampered....this isn't the place.
Later that evening I just chilled and fussed about my expierence. I had a hair appointment the next day and looked forward to that.
Friday was filled with running around and ended with The Street...i'll tell you all about it tomorrow.
