Friday:
My friend Samantha and I took a little journey down to my old stomping grounds (Stillwater) to visit our friend Dustin. In typical Meagh and Sam fashion, we stopped for coffee beverages on the way out of town...
A Caramel Macchiato and A Pumpkin Spice Latte. Perfect roadtrip companions. :)
We got to Stillwater and I realized how much I miss being there. It's such a great place to be. Perhaps I'll be back there someday. Anyway...I got to give Dustin his apartment warming gift and I think he liked them (He didn't say otherwise). They were a very practical set of glasses that you could write your name on with chalk...so basically...kind of awesome, right?
This one says "D-Mo". There were also ones labeled "Giggle-snort", "Dustinov", and "Dustin".
We did a few of the Stillwater musts...Hideaway Pizza and the Stonewall...then we watched Hocus Pocus! I. LOVE. THAT. MOVIE....and it made me excited that Halloween is next month!!!
Saturday:
Moving on...I am a genius. Why, you ask? Well, because I registered to do the Out of the Darkness walk for the AFSP (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention) on Saturday morning. It was a great cause, and I'm so happy that I was able to do it, but man..it was early. We had to leave Stillwater at 6:15 AM...AM!! But after some McDonald's coffee beverages (Starbucks in Stillwater wasn't even open yet!) we were good to go. We arrived at the walk site right on time....
Where was the walk, you might ask?!? It was at my favorite place!
THE ZOO!!!!
"I love him. I miss him. He still talks to me"
It was a really great walk and a great way to remember and honor the people that have been lost to suicide. The little boy in the picture made me want to cry...his shirt was so sweet. I'm glad I got to support this cause.
Look at the animals! I don't think i've ever been to the zoo that early. It was really fun. All the animals were active because it was about time for them to eat. AND I finally got to see the elephants! I'm not sure why I love the zoo so much, but it really is one of my favorite places on earth.
Once the AFSP walk was over, it was time for some last minutes errands in preparation for my AMAZING friend Elisabeth's birthday festivities! Somewhere along the way I cam across this really random assortment of figurines...they were animals made out of fruits and veggies. A flamingo made of watermelon, A skunk made of a red onion, A squirrel made of a Peanut...and....
Finally it was festivities time! I absolutely love celebrating the births of my friends and Elisabeth is one of the greatest people I know. She has such a sweetness about her and I am truely honored that I get to call her my friend!!
We ate at Bourbon Street and had less than stellar service from some dude who called himeself "Buddy Holly" (no, seriously...he did). We had a good group of people, if I do say so myself...

That elevator shot is one of my favorites of the weekend. Julie was there too! And I decided to wear Kenny's hipster glasses.
Sunday:
I rounded out the weekend by going to a movie with my best friend in the world, Wesley! He's also pretty amazing and I'm glad I have him in my life. Sadly, I don't have a picture of our movie adventure to add...so i'll just leave you with this one, which leaves me not wanting to touch anything....ever.
So, it was a wonderful weekend! I hope everyone else had a good one too!! Until next time...
Peace.
