Episode XXXIX: “My Milkshake Brings All The Boys To The Yard!”

Milkshake – I want a Milkshake. MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Seriously I have been up since 6:00 am this morning helping Poppy move. There is nothing like breaking a sweat that early in the morning moving a couch so heavy that it could be used as an anchor for an ocean liner. I now feel that I deserve a milkshake among other things. (Note: The U-Haul on Old Seward – SUCKS they can’t even keep their bay doors working – black mark for you U-Haul.) If I owned that couch I would have hauled back and kicked it (it wouldn’t have helped but it would have made me feel better) alas it was not mine so I had to content myself with giving it the evil eye! I’m watching you couch – me and you lets step outside! “Scat!”

Where am I?

What day is it?

Obviously the lack of my usual ten hours of sleep a night are finally starting to take it’s toll on me – HECK, I might just sleep all day tomorrow – instead of doing the things I need to like cleaning and running errands.

I do not have to work tomorrow because I took the day off from everywhere so I will be going out tonight – however I will not be posting anything until Thursday. If you get bored feel free to talk amongst yourselves. Keep it clean (I’m looking at you TOOL!)

Episode XXXVIII: “CAB!”

One moment while I try and get my brain to reach back to the start of the weekend.

Friday – Get off work – then swing by Marcella’s BBQ briefly to give her a birthday card (HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL!), but then I had to run because the plan was to go and see Harry Potter – well once we got to the theater it was just way to crazy – so Melody and I went for dinner at Applebee’s and then called up Lexie and Blondie and discovered them sitting at The Crossroads – so we decided to join them there. Well about 9:00 I start to get a headache and feel tired so I leave the girls to carry on without me and go home and fall into bed (Hey I have had late nights for the last couple of weeks and it’s finally catching up with me). Well at some point I can’t remember the times I get a phone call from Lexie & Melody – apparently they had decided to hit most the bars downtown and Blondie decided to take a cab home (she was so running away from the other girls). Then while I was on the phone with Lexie she walked by the gaslight and puts Tool on the phone (Hi Tool.) Then she gets back on the phone and informs me to basically get my butt out of bed and meet them at Kootz. I do and in the time it takes me to get there Lexie has proceeded to drop her cell phone in the toilet at Kootz and Melody fishes it out for her – and I’m sure they are both going to get some sort of flesh eating disease. I don’t know what time I went home but I had to get up and be functional for my first whole day at my new job 3 to close standing and running around all day.

Saturday – Went to work and got off at 11:10pm and then briefly met up with everyone at Kootz again, I got there at midnight and left at 1:30 – I was tired, hungry and not looking my best and frankly my feet were killing me. So I went home and did some laundry and stuffed my face with comfort food to the point I almost made myself sick by eating too much. Apparently after I left the girls kept on partying and I did receive several drunken phone calls but that might be because I sort of sneaked away. I didn’t want anyone talking me out of not going. I’m told there was some sort of cab incident – but whatever – whenever is there not incidents.

Sunday – Roommate Sam called from Utah at 9:30 in the morning – (he knows better then to do that, I don’t know what came over him or what he was thinking). Well I figured that if I had to be up so did everyone else. So since I needed to borrow a work truck to help “Poppy” move I made Lexie and Melody come over to drive me to get it. We brought it back and then we all snuggled on the bed and then I got up and had to be to work again at 2 and more standing (MY LEGS ARE KILLING ME AND IF ANYONE WANTS TO TRADE I WOULD BE MORE THEN HAPPY TOO!) I got off at 9:15 last night and then Lexie calls me and when I call her back (A guy answers the phone and has me going for a split second on some story and then I realize that it is some guy messing with me – but I for the life of me can’t figure out who would be with Lexie.) So I hang up and a moment later it hits me and I have to call back. Yup – I totally forgot Mike (from Florida) just got into town that afternoon. So once I call him on it he says I have to come down and meet them at the Pioneer downtown and that he’s not taking NO for an answer. Well I haven’t seen him in forever so I head down there and stay until 11:00 and then I come home and wait on “Poppy” so I can make a run with the truck and then return it to work. I think we got done by about one-ish. But I didn’t get to sleep until about 2:30 so I’m tired my legs are still killing me and I really just want to go home and crawl into bed and sleep the day away. Suppose to have a BBQ at my house tonight but it’s raining so I don’t think that is going to happen. I’ll let you know though.

P.S. Mike is here for like 12 days – so expect major partying and I have every intention of feeling his muscles up close and personal. Not to mention I think we will have to have a snuggle off – I am so going to win! Because I AM AWESOME!

Episode XXXVII: “Dance Dance!”

OK so the other night when I was at Kootz I noticed that they have added a stripper pole to the band side dance floor. Now the swing bar has always had a few poles up by the bar but they are there to, you know hold the roof up and all. Well Wednesday night I decided to give Bri Bri a little show using the swing bar foundation poles when one of the girls that worked there told me the pole was in the other room. Oh why thank you – so you guys installed that just for me? How sweet! Yeah that is not happening until such time as I am so wasted that there will be vomiting involved. So while the pole may have been meant for me by all means anyone who has the moxie jump up on that and shake it.

This is your Queen of Kootz signing off.

Episode XXXVI: “That’s no moon, that’s a SPACE STATION!”

DOUBLE POST!

So I totally just drank coffee. Now I am jamming out and my chair dancing skills are smokin and I’m bouncing off the walls listening to Peter, Paul and Mary.

“Lemon Tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet, but the fruit of poor lemon is impossible to eat.”

Next up: I’m leaving on a Jet Plane, Puff the Magic Dragon and back flips off my desk top.

Coffee is my Crack – which is why I don’t drink it much.

“Luke, I am your Father.”

Episode XXXV: “Evil will always prevail, because good is dumb.”

So OK I went out last night to where else “Kootz” because that is my second home these days. There is the trivia game and comedy from 8 to 10. So I spent the night running back and forth trying to do everything at once. The comedian was great you know actually funny so that was awesome and when it came to the trivia I did answer one question but I won more then the regular amount of tickets just because of my showman ship. I was sitting up by the DJ booth hanging out with the DJ when they played the first part of Blondie’s – Heart of Glass. Well this one guy was slowly walking up there (who ever makes it to the stool on stage first gets to answer) so all of the sudden I got a bee in my bonnet and decided I knew I was right and would try to beat the guy to the stool even though I had about 4 times further to go. So I jump off my stool and start all out running for the stage with my heels clicking the whole way I totally made it there at the same time as the guy problem is I had so much momentum built up that I completely ran past the stool and up on to the stage before I could slow down. So I got two tickets for my enthusiasm and then the guy answered wrong (I think he felt sorry for me and did it on purpose) so as the RUNNER UP (HA) I got to answer and then got six tickets for being right.

Come to think about it now – that was DUMB I am surprised I made it up the stairs to the stage going that fast I could have totally injured something or someone. Oh well I have enthusiasm – GO ME! “Burrrr its cold in here there must be some Kare Bears in the atmosphere!”

Episode XXXIV: “Rub A Dub Dub just me in the Tub.”

OK so to be honest I had a shitty day yesterday and all I could think about for the last half of my work day was that I really just wanted to go home and take a bath. However I have a regular size bathtub and well cramming a six foot frame into it isn’t as relaxing as it sounds. So I called up Lexie’s parents and informed them I would pay them to allow me to come over and invade their home and most especially their big ass tub. What was that I’m family so I can come over (HA – I’m back in the will Lexie).

So once I lower myself into the hot water and my legs were straight and every part of my body was actually under water a sigh escaped my lips and yes I bit my lip and made the “O” face. Then not to be out done by Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman I went all the way under and I guess I was too relaxed because all of the sudden water is rushing up my nose and I’m drowning in someone bath tub WTF! (So not my day!) I come sputtering up and now my nose burns (but Hey my sinuses are cleaned out). Well I relax again and begin to almost float (with my face above water). Then Lexie comes in and asks if I want ice cream. Ice Cream while sitting in the bath – HELL YES – MAY I HAVE ANOTHER! I am a celebrity you will worship me and in preparation for that day Lexie also took a picture of me with my ice cream in the tub and then something happened and the picture got sent somewhere – of course it won’t surface until I become famous then it will be splashed all over the internet. Currently this photo resides on my phone and will be brought out at drunk moments, YeHaw! Whatever once I was done with my soak and had turned fully into a prune. I left Lexie at her parents and went home.

When I die please bury me in that tub.

P.S. Lexie’s parents are in my will (you will get a whole 5 cents each) – I will forever owe you.

Episode XXXIII: “I wanna be Sedated!”

So I’m sitting here staring at my computer my brain is completely dead. Lexie is currently FIRED! My mother is awesome and my girls in Seattle are totally Optimistic!
Wait what’s my name again!

“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya, You killed my father prepare to die!”

Episode XXXII: “Can you Hear Me, Can you Hear Me NOW!”

OK well my weekend consisted of sun and sleeping, a lot of sun and a lot of sleeping.

So Friday I was exhausted so I went to bed early and ignored everyone. Woke up Saturday morning at 9:00 and Alexis had decided since it was the most fabulous day out ever that we needed to go to Big Lake. So I am dressed in my Maui best ready for the beach look and we head out. Once we get there we almost immediately hopped on the Jet Ski’s. We then proceeded to tear it up and I was chasing boats and jumping wakes and I hit this one and when I landed the handlebars were turned and the Jet Ski shot off in one direction and I went the other. That’s right Keri tanked it in the middle of the lake (MAN DOWN!). Lexie didn’t actually witness the incident but she looked around in time to see me in the water and my Jet Ski 50 feet away. Well I whined enough that she towed me back to it. However everything was wet and I lost my rose sunglasses (The first casualty of the war of the Jet Ski’s) which are now residing at the bottom of the lake.

Then later in the day Lexie’s mom gets into an all out water war with the neighbor and by the end of that the dock was completely drenched and my phone was wet. I tried to save it and I can still text message but the speaker and mic are having difficulties and it’s hard to hear people or have them hear me. Maybe it will start working in another couple of days.

I ended up going to Kootz for a couple hours Saturday night ran into Marcella there and just hung out and then left early. Slept most of the day Sunday.

P.S. I lost another 3 pounds this last week “SWEET!” (DOUBLE ARM PUMP <- Brianism)

Episode XXXI: “Frankly my dear I don’t give a damn!”

So went to Kootz last night was there from 8 to 12 and managed to get my butt into bed at 12:30. Lots of stuff happened most of which I can not post here – so I am alive today and feeling great. More to come on Monday!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Episode XXX: “Koots - here we come, right back where we started from.”

So I am suppose to go to Koots for the Comedy show but since I’m pretty sure that it is going to be the same guy that we saw on Tuesday I am not holding my breath but that is OK because I can wonder around the bar. I have no intentions of staying out as late as I did on Tuesday night. My plan is to be home by midnight (I’ll let you know how that goes). It has so far been one busy week and the weekend is almost here.

Episode XXIV: “Rise and Shine Sleepy Head – Out of Bed Daisy head!”

Ummm …….. First I would like to ask forgiveness for any bad typing – I will be impressed if this is readable since I am typing with my eyes closed. Periodically I plan on opening them long enough to scan this post and see where I am at. My night out started at 5:30 right after work and consisted of some time spent at Platinum Jaxx and then on to Kootz with a brief stop over at Lexie’s and Taco Bell (Which so is not agreeing with me this morning) and then pulling into my driveway at 3:00 am this morning. When I finally got out of bed this morning at 7:30 I wanted to kill my alarm clock because if it weren’t for clocks we wouldn’t know what time it is and there for could go to work whenever, however it is a brand spanking new clock so that would be bad form – so instead I got up jumped in the shower and went to work. I look like death warmed over (NO I do not have a hang over – I always look this way with less then 8 hours of sleep). If you see me coming look away I will not be responsible for you turning into stone.

For those of you wondering why I was out on a week night it was Dallas’s Birthday – SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY DALLAS!

Most memorably funny quote from last night was Dallas saying “Lexie’s all up in your Kool-Aid!” he gets 20 points for making me laugh yet again this morning.

So here’s to great times and friends – even the ones up in your Kool-Aid.

Episode XXIII: “Wardrobe malfunction!”

So yesterday was one of the best days we have had in awhile and it looks like today is going to be the same. So yesterday after work Melody and I met up at Alexis’s place to sit out on her roof top and enjoy the sun. I swear it was a scene right out of Sex and the City. We enjoyed some girl time and were talking about everything under the sun (literally). Well of course it got a little crazy and Lexie was wearing her sun dress and then she started bouncing around like a hooligan and well can we say BOOB! Then because this was funny she then flashed both of them and thank goodness there were no planes flying over head at that moment or we might have made headlines. So tonight there will be a replay and hopefully Blondie can make it over too and then we can really have the foursome going. We are so much hotter then the Sex and the City Wenches. Whatever!

Episode XXII: “It’s hard to just snuggle when you get naked like that!”

So as I sit here eating the left over macaroni salad (thanks Blondie) I think back on my weekend and the first thing that comes to mind was that I was really drunk on Saturday and I have the best friends EVER!

Friday – after work I met Alexis at her parent’s house where we proceeded to have a great time and I ended up showing them my bloomers – but hey they are family.

Then I met up with Tammy and Ashley and we headed to Kootz where they proceeded to get their drink on and I was the reliable designated driver and drank diet coke all night (Major props to Joe my bartender for getting Ashley drunk). The girls ended up leaving around 1:30 Tool gave them a ride home and I remained around to drive the other drunk people home. So at the end of the night after dropping everyone off, I then went home grabbed the dog and invaded Alexis’s house at 3 AM she was a trooper.

Saturday – get home around noon from Lexie’s and we had planned on having a BBQ at the house so that started at 6:00 ish. Multiple people showed up and I proceeded to get my drink on since I had been so good the night before – now I remember everything because I have yet to experience this blackout thing so many other people have so I unfortunately always remember what happens. Sam and me got into a wrestling match and I lost (he swung me around like a rag doll – very manly if his back hurts from lifting my fat ass I will not be held accountable). Then at another point Lexie had me on my stomach on the ground tickling my feet at which point I spent about 5 mins flat on my back in the grass. Some of my sunglasses are missing “AND I WANT THEM BACK!” one pair even got broke (MAN DOWN!) and one stolen “Dimples I’m looking at you.” And his wife Blondie tried to steal another pair but then she lost them and claims I never gave them back even though I put them on her face (I still haven’t found them – they are probably in someone purse). For some reason no one would make eye contact with me – maybe it had something to do with the fact that if they did I would yell “EYE CONTACT – YOU WANT SOME LOVIN.” At which point I would then molest whoever it was that had looked at me and it didn’t matter who it was. By the end of the night we ended up at Club O and then everyone else was moving on to other clubs and I wanted to go home but Blondie wouldn’t leave me on the side of the bar waiting for a cab by myself which was totally ridiculous since security was there but I appreciate it anyway!

I went home and passed out with my bedroom window open at 1:30 and was out until 3:30 when my phone rang because some people were not done partying yet. By that point I was naked and freezing and not even about to get up to shut my window much less go down and start drinking again.

Sunday – SLEPT ALL DAY LONG – and went over to bug Alexis again – I think she is getting tired of me. NAW – THAT’S NOT POSSIBLE!

As for my title that has to do with a private conversation! Much love to you all and hope everyone had a great weekend too!

Episode XXI: “It’s all about ME!.”

Seriously as I sit here at my desk staring down out my legs I think “Damn what great gams I have!” I just tried this new self tanner (Clinique) it is awesome stuff my legs are no longer a white, sun light reflecting transparent color. It actually looks pretty natural. Plus it helps that I am wearing a white skirt (white always makes you look darker). Let’s talk about the skirt for a minute – it is my all time favorite outfit (I really should wear it more often) it does this nice flare thing and it promotes exercise. When I run down the stairs it does this flare up thing that is so black and white movie. So I find myself going up and down stairs more today. Where’s my mom when I need her to DIP me. Oh well this means of course I can’t wear this outfit for another month because I have a problem about wearing the same outfit more then once a month, other people probably wouldn’t notice but I would know and I would think they knew and these are perhaps issues I should discuss with my therapist. I will get back to you on that.

So ME, ME, ME, I, I, I, Twirl, Twirl, Twirl!

Episode XX: “Damn goose bumps now I have to shave my legs again.”

So yesterday I would have totally froze my rasta farr E en nay nays off (that is if I had any). This is an on going war with one of my co-workers. He claims in the summer time that it gets so hot in his office because he has huge windows and the sun beats in on him (this is true which is why I moved out of that office years ago). Unfortunately this means that my office (cell) which has no windows becomes the resident ice box. I left for lunch yesterday and left a half a soda on my desk and came back an hour later and it was practically colder then when I got it out of the machine. So I brought in a heater at lunch yesterday and was blissfully warm for the rest of the day.

Which is all to the good since I was flouncing around yesterday in my black and white poka dot dress. There is something freeing about wearing a dress – knowing that you can moon someone and have your dress back down before they even knew what hit them.

Although as some of my friends can validate dresses are a lot like shorts and I have a tendency to pull the sides up on my shorts (like up to my ears) this usually only happens when alcohol is involved but sometimes just being in a good mood triggers these episodes of pantspulupits – it is a rare medical condition that is not funny in the slightest, (unless you’re a friend or family member).

Here’s to white cotton underwear.

P.S. Met up with the girls last night to hang out – so this is my shout out to Alexis, Melody and C…C….C….Blondie!

Episode XIX: "How much DIRT is too much DIRT?"

The names have been left out of the following post to protect the innocent.

I was e-mailing a friend of mine and she tried to pull one over on me so I shot back with a retort that was both witty and true at which point her reply was “You have too much dirt on me.”

When it comes to your close friends is it possible to have too much dirt? I don’t think so – I think it shows that you know everything about them and yet you still love them no matter what – I think it’s a true test of friendship. With this comes awesome responsibility though, say you were to have a falling out with said friend and not be friends anymore EVER this would not give you license to go around airing their dirty laundry everywhere. Guess I’m not vindictive!

Then again my friends keep my secrets (to the grave beotches)!

Locked up tight as Fort Knox here in Alaska.

Episode XVIII: "Runaway Jury"

So this week I am on-call for jury duty and last night I called in and had to be down at the court house this morning at 8:00. Bundles of fun! Then I proceeded to sit around the jury waiting room for 2 hours banging my head against the wall because I forgot to bring something to read or do. So I resorted to my 2nd favorite thing to do, people watching. Apparently when you put a couple hundred people in a waiting room who don’t want to be there this is a sign that we all must be united and the bitching begins. Most of these people I had seen walking to the courthouse from the parking garage recognized them by the extremely dejected looks on their faces which mirrored mine. Everyone saying a small prayer that they don’t get selected. I on the other hand wouldn’t care if I got selected it’s the hours of waiting around that drive me crazy. Not to mention the men who see this as the new Anchorage Connection place to meet singles – please I am not a morning person so just back away slowly and you may yet live to be selected by the judge.

“Survey Says! I’m still on-call for the rest of the week even though I was dismissed today.”

Episode XVIII: "Party like a Rock Star!"

Well happy Monday people. My weekend consisted of one heck of a night at Kootz, lots of alcohol, a brief and I due mean brief limo ride and a barefoot walk through a trailer park on gravel and a short amount of time spent by the side of the road ending in the most exhilarating cab ride home and this all happened from 8:00 pm on Saturday to 3:00 am Sunday morning. Unfortunately due to National Security I can not give you anymore information then that as you do not have top security clearance. Twenty years from now when the incident is made public I will fill you in then. I hope everyone’s weekend was as fabulous as mine.

P.S. I woke up this morning with this nasty bruise on the arch of my left foot and I have no idea where it came from. It wasn’t there yesterday that I would understand.

Episode XVII: “My 45 minutes of fame!”

“FAME! I want to live forever, I want to learn how to fly! FAME!”

Ok so Wednesday I was floating on cloud nine. Or more accurately the back of a one ton truck that was festooned with balloons, paper and boy scouts. Most of the decorations were attached with duct tape because really nothing is more American then that and it was Red, White and Blue Duct Tape we were so proud to be riding on the duct tape float driven by none other then “roommate Sam”. Yes once again I put my life in Sam’s hands I kept having vision of a rough stop and my face connecting with the cab of the truck, although the people who lined the streets were the most fun they would see me wobble and my eyes get as big as saucers and grin or yell at me to hold on they knew I was fearing for my life and most of them appreciated that I had showed up anyway for their entertainment.

In the morning before the parade the judges came around to judge the floats so we were all on our best behavior when one judge asks me if the Boy Scout to my right has his hand in is pocket. I look and that little pipsqueak has one hand on the American Flag and one in his pocket. With out even thinking I take my white gloved hand and backhand him across the arm and hiss at him to take his hand out of his pocket. At that moment the judge starts laughing and saying that’s more like it. Either way we won third place – so we rock.

This really does not need to be said but I am the world biggest walking disaster when I was a kid growing up I had what my mother refers to as banana legs if there is an opportunity for me to humiliate myself by falling I can’t help but jump up and down shouting me-me-me I will do it. So I was a little worried about that. I however had protection, this came in the form of the United States Navy uniform I was wearing it held me up and in place like there was invisible strings tied to my shoulders to keep my back straight. I would not be responsible for disrespecting the uniform. Now I’m not actually in the Navy which I had to explain to a few people. I was wearing my mother’s uniform (which shows that I had 20 years in – damn I look good for my age). At first I thought there might be a problem with this but I figure if Tom Cruise, Denzel Washington and Demi Moore can wear one then I certainly can. Especially since I have more Pride, Respect and Love for that uniform and more importantly the woman who wore it then any of the listed above. Not to mention I looked just as good.

So as we made the route through the city I smiled and waved and my favorite moment came at a loll in the crowd on my side and a mother was sitting with her daughter on the curb and as we drove by I waved at her and I heard the little girl say “Look Mommy she looks so pretty.” That statement made my year I almost jumped off the truck and ran over to her to give her a big hug. I wasn’t sure I wanted kids but now I want twelve just like that little girl.

There were tons of cameras (including news cameras) and nothing is weirder then complete strangers taking your picture. Yup there was nothing but the feeling of pride for our country and I had the best time. Then at the end suddenly I could feel the pain in my feet from the shoes never before worn and my under clothes meant to slim me down and hide my imperfect body were suddenly digging into my rib cage. Yep my 45 minutes were now up – still I love this country!

P.S. I looked HOT HOT HOT!

Episode XVI: “Do I have a fat lip?”

So I just got back from the dentist had to have a root canal redone on my front tooth from that softball incident two years ago. I feel like I have a fat lip and I can’t feel half my nose. Other then that if I wasn’t afraid that I would inadvertently bite off the dentist finger I could have totally slept through the whole thing. I’m pretty sure I dosed off for a bit. That will be my new thing “I can sleep through anything, even a root canal.”

Episode XV: “Here comes the Parade”

I just sneezed all over my keyboard (I know that is exceptionally gross and you didn’t need to know) but really EEEWWWW!

Anyway today I go to the dentist for a teeth cleaning and then tonight after work I get to help build a float for the parade tomorrow which I also get to ride – yeah! It’s an American Legion float and I get to wear my mom’s old Navy uniform. I’m so excited and I will post pictures and blog about my experience on Thursday after my day off. Hope everyone has a great 4th of July!

Episode XIV: “Shot through the heart!”

So on Friday I met up with the gang (Tammy, Ashlee, Michelle, Marcella, Tool and some people I had just met) and we were suppose to go to Humpy’s but apparently it was packed and there was no place to sit so we met up at Bernie’s instead. I had some sushi (liquid fire Mahi) it wasn’t very good. We hung out there for almost two hours and then moved over to Platinum Jaxx since I had parked by Bernie’s over on the parkstrip I rode over to Jaxx with Tool and them. So I only lasted less then an hour there because my bartender wasn’t working and one of the chicks behind the counter was a bit too rude for me. So I left everyone there and walked back to my car – I was a little scared about getting jumped walking by myself and looking like a hooker so I decided to call Alexis and then Melissa and they talked me back to the car. Got home and then went to bed about midnight.

Saturday – woke up at 7:30 because we (Sam, Leslie, Aurora and me) were going to the highland games in Eagle River. Sam and I went on time and the others were like an hour and a half late – so we spent about 4 hours there hanging out and watching men is skirts (I mean kilts). Then at 12:30 we decided we were done and Sam and I went shooting. That’s right Sam gave me a loaded gun and said go to town. SWEET! I started with the pistol and then the rifle and then we decided to have a contest. The first time I totally won (I had figured out the scope on the rifle though since it was off). The second time Sam won – I should have stopped while I was ahead. Then after that I tried the .45 and wow what a recoil I couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. There go any dreams of being a professional hitman. We finally got home around 5:00 and then at 6:00 I was tired and went to take a nap (that lasted 5 hours) and then I just watched TV and slept on and off for the rest of the weekend. It was awesome – except my thumbs hurt from having to load my own bullets.

NOTE TO SELF – hire man servant next time to load bullets it would be cheaper then a manicure.
