Weekend Recap!

Hellllllllo friends!

Things that happened this weekend:
* two birthday celebrations
* an engagement party for some friends
* the Thunder lost to the Lakers -booooooooo-
* Jax.got.some.much.needed.rest.

I slept in until 11am yesterday and am still completely unapologetic for it in my head... :) After switching jobs and what-not, emotionally exhausted yada yada you've heard it before... I think my body just decided to go to sleep whether I wanted it to or not sometime around 10pm Friday night at my friend's engagement party. I fought through it and had a rather intriguing conversation with my friend's parents about the perils farmtown and mafia wars on facebook (we all agreed facebook apps are annoying) But, around 11, I came home and crashed in 2.5 seconds.

Here's the recap of the weekend...and I took a lot of pics... yeehaw! Friday, was Sarah's birthday happy hr/dinner celebration at Los Cabos, an awesome Mexican restaurant on the river. Margaritas, queso and laughter were had by all!
She was blocked in the above photo so I opted for a..ahem..birthday portrait. ;)
From there, I headed to my friends' engagement party (the bride's the one in the white dress and veil. obviously). Kristy, Marla, Beth, Sara, me.
Griff stole the veil to go with his pink shirt and pink sangria... The guy beside him is the groom. :)
Saturday was Rachel's quarter of a century birthday celebration! (I feel old, but let's not go there). Here's me and the fabulous birthday girl!
A girlie dinner at Ciao, a local Italian place. :)
Ended up at a karaoke bar. This photo cracks me up btw so I had to post it. I'm not really sure what's going on... Anyway, there was some dude at the bar I kept calling The Situation (Jersey Shore. duh.) who somehow escaped my camera. Damn.
I vowed I wouldn't sing. And then, yep.. there were are.. all three of us belting out Like a Prayer.. I mean.. who doesn't want to sing Madonna? Duh.
Now for the awesomeness.. See the chick behind us? Yeah. She was drunk enough to think (1) we wanted her to sing with us and (2) she WAS Madonna. She was WAY off and one of our friends finally took the mic from her.. haha...This picture is amazing though.
Today, I slept in again (whatever) and then cleaned my car...and I mean CLEANED my car. We (my car and I) visited a car wash, vacuumed, armor-alled, then cleaned the leather seats. I always feel overly proud when I clean my car. I don't know why, but it is what it is.

Car cleansing was followed by a trip to the gym, grocery store, and a 20 minute drive around downtown putting parking lots in rank order of my preference.... Why? Well, b/c I'm OCD and can't just randomly pick one...but also b/c the free lot for my building is um.. how do I say this.. over the river and through the woods. Okay okay, it's not that bad, but it really is over a bridge, down a flight of stairs, then under another bridge. Soooo it looks like I might be paying to park a leetle closer. We'll see. I'm at least getting on a waiting list somewhere (there aren't any openings most parking places). Anyway, I was that annoying girl who stopped randomly to write down info on parking lots/garages while the person behind me likely cursed and flipped me off a couple times... Eh whatever. I'm sure I found it more comical than they did. *shrugs*

Overall, I give the weekend two thumbs up! Although, I have to admit I'm selfishly ready for Eric to take his CPA exam tomorrow so I get him back in my life more regularly... :) While I'm on that ... GOOD LUCK TO ERIC ON HIS CPA!! If you're reading this Monday morning, he's taking it right.freaking.now! :)

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Lates, peeps.

I would love to sleep that late but I can't for the life of me sleep in anymore (I yet again blame pregnancy for this).
