This weekend went SO FAST!
Stopped by Bobby's on Friday night. Weird story. This 40-something business casual dressed guy was literally dragging himself down the street fencepost by fencepost. He was standing/walking/dragging in this really bizarre angle. It was hard to tell if he was just very intoxicated or he actually was handicapped. Anyway Yale and Justin took charge (sexy) and stood on either side of him for support asking how they can help him, where did he live, what happened, was his back okay, etc. At first he said he got slipped something, but eventually we found out he was on other prescription meds and had been drinking wine that night. Also there was some discussion over how he had hurt his back when he was helping his friends move. It looked really really bad, though... not just some minor injury. I wonder if the mix of everything numbed him so much he didn't realize how bad it was? Anyway, ultimately Yale and Justin decided to call the ambulance and frankly I think that may have been a life saving decision for that guy. Humph. (Sidenote - another weird happening on Friday night - Sweeting almost got mugged by like 6 teenagers on drugs by Union Station were it not for the cops that came to his rescue. Aww... SWEETING!! I don't want anyone messing with Sweeting.)
Saturday started on a better note! Sweeting and I went to the Yelo Conference at Ebenezers. It was so cool! It was run by one of the pastors at Mosaic Church in Los Angeles who also works for Gallup. So interesting to hear and learn about your strengths and others strengths and how they interplay. The whole premise is about how we as a society focus on weaknesses and think our greatest area for growth is by focusing on improving those weaknesses. In fact, wouldn't we fulfill greater potential by cultivating and using our natural strengths? One of my favorite tidbits was that there is a one in 33 million chance that you will end up with the same top five strengths in the same order as another person. We're so unique. I can't get over it. It encouraged a LOT of discussion throughout the weekend after that. Had dinner with Patrick and Lauren at the house then went out to RFD to meet up with Shane, Carissa, Sweeting, and Muffin after that. Fun, relaxed night.
Sunday was Patrick and Carrie Extravaganza! We did everything I can think of to do on a rainy Sunday:
Brunch : Carlyle
Reading : On big fluffy red couch at Busboys and Poets
Movie : Baby Momma
Dinner : Whole Foods
TV : DH at Luis'
Awesome.

weirdest part of the weekend may not have been getting punched in the face by a 14 year old on drugs in front of the securities and exchange commission building, but running into our yelo group members at forgetting sarah marshall and having an awkward conversation about how they (a middle-aged conservative christian couple) enjoyed the comedy featuring an alarming number of full frontal male nudity shots. good thing my strengths are empathy and adaptability.
