Diphenhydramine

Yesterday, Danish and I went on a bike ride on Greenbelt Trail in Denton with two of our friends, Colin and Brittany. Our destination was Lake Ray Roberts, where there is a cliff you can jump off of into the water. The ride went fairly okay until about mile 10 when my good humor began to leave me. It was around 98 degrees out and to my horror, we had to climb up the side of a dam and ride across the blistering hot asphalt (about a mile distance) to get to where we wanted to go. The cliff was no longer our destination; we needed AC, drinks, and possibly food. After what seemed like hell, we finally reached The Dam Store, a convenience store that sells bait and other random things. At this point, I was pretty mad at Danish because that's just what I do - have really bad attitude during times when I should be a good sport. At any rate, we sat down in the cool store, ordered some Dam hamburgers, and sipped on our refreshing fountain drinks while Danish called up Hank to pick us up because no one was up for riding back to our cars. By the way, Hank is Colin's twin brother. Hank was working so he sent his fiance, Amber, to pick us up. The boys left with her to get their cars while Brittany and I finished our burgers and chit-chatted about random things (she's a nice girl). Of course I was no longer upset with Danish, and the fact that he got a pretty rough sunburn steered me away from exacerbating the situation.

We came home and took a long snooze. My friend Jennifer was in town and we had made plans to hang out at King Sauna & Spa, a Korean-owned 'bath house' of some sorts - but nothing dirty like you are thinking (no 'happy-endings' or anything like that). Here is an article from The Dallas Morning News. Basically you go in, put on the cotton shorts and t-shirt they provide, and sit in the different temperature saunas to sweat out 'toxins'. There is also a food court, movie room, and karaoke room - it's so much fun! On the weekends, they are open 24-hours so we could have spent the night if we wanted, but since we had church the next day we left around 2 a.m. and passed out from a long day's worth of activities.

Today, Danish is sick with allergies, a sore throat, and a crabby mood. He is recording with his band later today while I go hang out with my family, then we have a birthday to go to at The Old Monk. It should be a great time! Tomorrow, we are grilling out at my parent's house...and we have so much planned for the rest of this week as Danish has taken off an entire week from work!
