Is This What My Superbowl Weekend is Destined To Be?

I just cant believe it, I got home on Friday noght, I had made super last minute plans with Terri to go down to the beach for the evening and hop back up in the morning. Unfortunately I got home too late for the trip to even be worthwhile, so she went along without me. All of that is good because I totally forgot that Heather and Zach were moving this weekend anyways. They had lived in the building beside mine, and were relocating ALL THE WAY across the street! so when I pulled my car into the parking stall, they were all standing around a tightly packed minivan on a dark, super cold night. So I hopped into the van, and we rode over to the new building, and quickly got everything into it. At the point the owner of the van needed to go home to a nearby neighborhood, and Zack had to drive him there. I followed in my car, so as to return Zack to the apartments before Heather got home from the airport. On the way we decided we should really pick up some beer, naturally I'm thinking, since there are 2 7-11's within a 3 block range, thats where we would go. I could pickup a scratch ticket, as lately I have been quite lucky with those, and thin swing through the McDonalds drive through and get a McRib. This of course is not how it went down, because that just would have been too wonderful right? we go to the Uppy's station, which I have never really been a fan of anyways, and thats where we go our beer, I figured "May as well still get my Scratcher, even though I know I wont win, this is not my lucky 7-11"
Get my scratcher, take a penny out of the take-a-penny tray, only to have the clerk bantering about how she could just scan the ticket to see if its a winner, Whats that about? why cant i just scratch my damn ticket?? Naturally I was not a winner, but I would not let that get me down, I STILL wanted my McRib!! Feeling like I had been cursed with bad luck, I figured that deliscious barbecue goodness could do no wrong....... WRONG!!! I got it, and it was probably the best ever, the fries were super hot, and crispy, just the right amount of salt. The sandwich looked like the picture, and I just couldnt wait, I was as gitty as a school girl, and started tearing into the bag. Zack is in the passenger seat reminding me of the curb that aparently i was driving on, Just in time to hear a thud, a hiss, and a beeping on my dashboard, warning me of low air pressure. I BUSTED MY FUCKIN TIRE!! at McDonalds of all places. Thank God Zack was so more-than-willing to take charge, and changed out the spae. I was astonished to find out that my car, which is nothing cheap, to say the least, came with a fuckin DOUGHNUT!! no full sized spare? I felt to ignorant for not realizing this bfore! So now I am riding around on a doughnut, until this week when I have some time to get it in to get a new tire.
On to Saturday, I woke up bright and early, to meet up with Heather, and head on over to my parents house, so we could borrow the Dodge Ram, and move the larger furniture over to the new apartment. Zack joined us a bit later, and was really not feeling so hot. We went on to the complex, and got to work, when Zack became so ill, he was basically bed ridden, leaving Heather and I to do the heavy lifting! As the day progressed into the night, EVERYONE started feeling a bit shaky in the tummy. This promted a trip to Wal-Greens for a bottel of nausea medicine, some Pepto pills, and some immodium. When I got back to the apartment I administered the meds to the bed riddin kids ans ran home to pray that I wouldnt be getting the same crap as them!! OMFG what a weekend!!

Halloween Madness!!

Well, well, well,

Another Halloween down, and what do we have to show for it? How much does it say to work for one company for more than a year, and I cant get Christmas off? But I sure did get Halloween!! Thats just fine by me. Originally, I had planned to have a small party at my new apartment, as a way to really get settled in, Haloween being my favorite holiday, I made it my personal goal to be fully moved in, and have everything in order just in time for Halloween, and I accomplished that goal. As the time got nearer though, I realised that I should probably not have a party, so as not to disturb the neighbors too much, and so I scaled back a bit, and ultimately the decision came down to just having the party at Terri's house, and going on from there.


Needless to say, this plan changed several more times, at one point we would do a bar crawl, or go to the city to party hop, or start here in the suburbs, and move to the city for bars and parties, and ultimately, it fell back on me. In the mix, most people got fed up, and just made other plans, so I was left with a lot of uncertainty regarding who would actually come. So just in case, I employed the help of our party planner to the stars, Mckinzie. She worked wonders with our tiny budget, and my tinier apartment, and really made it happen.


The faithfuls arrived, Heather and Zack, a sexy vampire, and top gunner



Terri, as Alaskan favorite V.p. candidate, Sarah Palin. I should preface this one by saying, I was a bit reluctant to see how this would work out, and assumed this would be one of the more common costumes of the year, but I must say, it really worked!

Aimee came by as a devil in disguise, she had this fabulous masquerade-type mask on, but I couldnt get her to keep it on for a pic


Jessica, as a refrigerator magnet


McKinzie and Jason as a whore, and Brett Favre


And me as a greaser, lookin ultra gay as always


So we had appetizers and drinks at my apartment, and watched Donnie Darko, and Beetleguise, before swinging by the Sports Page, which naturally was dead, and the Caddy's which i had never been to before, rightfully so. It actually was quite fun, but the smokiest damn place ive ever been.

so here are a few more pics from the evening.
