So, March's adventure was to go see my favorite comedian, Jim Gaffigan, live in Cleveland. The tickets were booked, the hotel was reserved, and myself along with my two roommates were dolled up and ready for a weekend in Cleveland.
Our hotel was but a block from the theatre. We drove after work on a Friday night to check into the hotel and walk to our destination for non-stop laughter.
As we left the hotel, my dearest Kristin managed to twist her ankle, and severely hurt her foot. (We wouldn't know how hurt it was until much later). It was about 9:30 p.m. The show was to begin at 10. Kristin contemplated going back to the hotel, but we coerced her to hobble to the theatre.
I remember sitting in the theatre, waiting for Jim to take the stage. Kristin had tears streaming down her face, and I had no way to comfort her.
Anyway, the show began, and was truly hilarious! I'd never so laughed so much in my life. And Kristin was able to laugh through her pain.
Following the show, Nikki and I ran back to the hotel, changed in to pj's, checked out of the hotel, and raced back to the theatre to pick up Kristin. At 2 a.m., we arrived at the hospital. There, we stayed up all night waiting for Kristin to get an answer about her foot. At 7 a.m., we were home, Kristin had a broken foot, and in the midst of tired frustration, we laughed at our crazy misadventure.

April's adventure was much different in nature. For Lent, which actually began in March, I decided to go vegan. I didn't know if I would actually be able to make it until Easter, but somehow I did, and I actually didn't mind vegan life, except for the awkward moments at restaurants when you become, that person. You know who I'm talking about. The one that asks how food is prepared.... I've never been so happy not to go out to eat. You know the wait staff is talking about you in the kitchen. Anyway, I decided, I could be vegan if not for being such an inconvenience.

It's May Day. Run outside barefoot, and enjoy the promise of the coming summer. May's adventure is the big one! California, here I come. Until...
