I really have a very tough life. After work, I had to find parking at Zilker Park, making my way through the throngs of people going to Blues on the Green, so I could go run on a meticulously maintained hike and bike trail on the edge of downtown and along Lady Bird Lake. Then I had to meander down South First, across the bridge and to Kate's apartment, which is precariously close to some serious park festivities of all sorts. For dinner, I had to weigh my options at the South Congress trailer park eatery, deciding between sandwiches, Thai food, a variety of fried deliciousness, or an old fashioned slider and fries. It was an extremely trying task, but I finally was able to settle on Mighty Cone's veggie slider and spicy fries. We then trekked into downtown, with the golden pink and blue sunset distracting us from our travels as we crossed the bridge. After discovering a new movie theater and some incredibly intriguing stores, we were then faced with more decisions: mango frozen yogurt with strawberries?; peanut butter frozen yogurt with oreos?; a mixture of frozen yogurt flavors topped with everything else available? Again, it was a taxing decision, but I eventually settled on cookies 'n cream with fresh berries. Another trek across Lady Bird Lake, along with an all-too-gorgeous nighttime skyline awaited us. Someone please remind me why I live in this city again? For the life of me, I can't quite fathom the answer these days.
