Apparently, she needs to be on some painkillers or something! <span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Then me and Beth got hauled into a meeting yesterday about our performance.<span style=""> </span>We got the “we’re all on the same team” speech.<span style=""> </span>Except that Beth’s on Team Fuckup and I’m on Team Death-for-Beth.<br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal">On top of that, every other woman on the planet is pissed at me, too.<span style=""> </span>I think there’s crazy stuff going on in the cosmos?<span style=""> </span>If Men are from Mars, Venus must be on its period right now.<span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Last Saturday afternoon, Karen and I had plans to go see Spiderman 3, but I slept all day and my phone was dead, so by the time I finally did wake up, she was half way to Santa barbara to have dinner with her mom without me. <span style=""> </span>She was pretty upset, but as you can imagine, I was furious.<span style=""> </span>She knows I’ve been working my ass off and she won’t even cut me a little bit of slack.<span style=""> </span>She could have swung by and woken me up or called my house phone. I just don't get her sometimes.<br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Anyway, Zack and Tiff tried to cheer me up at Dimples, but the combination of exhaustion and booze made for a bad night’s sleep then, too. <span style=""> </span>I spent most of Sunday in and out of consciousness until Wayne happened by with some leftovers for his drunk neighbor.<span style=""> </span>He had made dinner for his mom. . .and that’s when I remembered to call mine, at like 10PM her time.<span style=""> </span>When I did finally call, she was about to turn in and was ice cold to me.<span style=""> </span>I can’t fucking catch a break this week. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">I tried to explain that I’ve been sick and tired from work, but she didn’t really seem to care.<span style=""> </span>She just gave me that mom-guilt that I hate so much.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Beth and I are barely on speaking terms and Karen will only text me back when I call her.<span style=""> </span>She says she’s fine, but just really busy.<span style=""> </span>But if I have time to call her, she has time to call me.<span style=""> </span>Whatever. . .She’ll get over it soon enough.</p> For now, it’s back to the grind.Drinking Till 40http://www.blogger.com/profile/13063823156416111362noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538923193258587604.post-47234745851038898742007-05-11T15:49:00.000-07:002007-05-12T11:26:22.006-07:00Peppermint Potty<span style=";font-family:";font-size:12;" >I am so, so tired of working.<span style=""> </span>The people I work with are idiots.<span style=""> </span>And I have a question?<span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span>How can they possibly be doing their work when all they fucking do is complain?<br /><br />I need a new job, I think. I worked till almost 8 the other night, and Zack nearly killed me when I got off, because we were supposed to have dinner.<br /><br />He already ate, so I just kind of had a liquid lunch for dinner, if you catch my drift. As a result, I spent much of yesterday fielding calls from my new satellite office-in the bathroom. It wasn't pleasant...but the mere presence of Beth in the office was enough to push my hangover to epic proportions, so it was best for me to be in the one place she couldn't find me. I told her I had eaten something that disagreed with me, so she spent what little time I wasn't in the vomitorium trying to give me peppermints to settle my stomach. Of course, since her voice makes me want to wretch, she did more harm than good.<br /><br />Last night, I passed out early (after some 2buckchuck!) and today i've been moving pretty slowly.<br /><br />Might go see Spidey 3 this weekend with karkar. Otherwise, I'm planning on laying low. Work this week has been such a bitch, all I want to do is sleep.</span>Drinking Till

Beth & Beyond<p class="MsoNormal">This week has been pretty low key so far, aside from the fact that the divider between Hollywood and the Valley is on fire.<span style=""> </span>Karen and I hung out last night, nothing big.<span style=""> </span>Just chilled and had some two buck chuck!<span style=""> </span>It took me forever to get home because everyone was staring at the fire.<span style=""> </span>What a fucking pain in the ass!<span style=""> </span>Like Wayne says, “If you want real flames, go to West Hollywood!”<span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Of course, Bad Beth used it as an excuse to be late this morning.<span style=""> </span>Yesterday, she used her cat because he was “acting weird.”<span style=""> </span><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Isn</span>’t that what cats do anyway?<span style=""> </span>Then she brings the thing into the office and it just wails all day long so she has to take an extra long lunch to bring the beast home.<span style=""> </span>I swear, if our boss was here, Beth would be so fired.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Our department had a meeting at 8:30 this morning, and she <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">didn</span>’t even show up till 9:15, blaming the smoke from the fire.<span style=""> </span>HEY, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">DUMBASS</span>!<span style=""> </span>Maybe it was the fact that you stopped by <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">KRISPY</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">KREEM</span> for donuts on your way in, you hog.<span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">I refused to eat one during the meeting just out of spite to her.<span style=""> </span>But then I decided that she’d just get to eat the leftovers, so I had one at lunch and just ate another one <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">hahha</span>.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Meanwhile, our boss still <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">hasn</span>’t squirted a kid out.<span style=""> </span>At this rate, Beth will find herself a man and have a kid before our boss does!<span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Ahh</span>, who am I kidding. . .</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Tonight, Karen’s got a late meeting and Tiff’s got something going on. . .so it’s just me and Z!<span style="">

De Mayo!I took off early on Friday to get a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">jumpstart</span> on the weekend, leaving Bad Beth to suffer here alone.<span style=""> </span>She actually had to stop filing her nails and start filing paperwork for the first time since our boss left. <p class="MsoNormal">Anyway, Zack got the brilliant idea to go and celebrate <span

</span><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Lol</span>!)<span style=""> </span>so she arrived just before we headed South Of The Border!</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span

id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Karkar</span> had never been there, so we had to kind of talk her off the ledge.<span style=""> </span>She refused to eat any of the food there, but once we got a few shots of tequila down her throat, she pretty much shut up about it.<span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Tiff was just as out of control as always, and if I could remember half of what she did, it’d be a miracle.<span style=""> </span>I’m pretty sure she <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">didn</span>’t have to pay for any of her drinks all night, though!<span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">We came back to the hotel totally loaded and loud, and we got yelled at . .but we had a blast anyway.<span style=""> </span>Tiff flashed the dude and he left us alone. <span style=""> </span>She wanted to go skinny dipping, but Karen was convinced us that the cops were gonna come, so she killed our buzz.<span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Sunday was hard to wake up, Karen drove me home, and Zack & Tiff stayed down an extra night.<span style=""> </span>We went out to El <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Compadre</span> for dinner and flaming margaritas (well, SHE went for dinner and I went for the margarita!)<span style=""> </span>Drinking on a hangover: Nasty.<span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if

id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Whorth</span>” (rhymes with 4<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">th</span>).<span style=""> </span>Today, she’s complaining about how she feels fat.<span style=""> </span>Meanwhile, she tells me she ate her weight in Mexican food this weekend and wonders why she can’t even squeeze her swollen feet into her shoes anymore.<span style=""> </span></p> <p

My boss is gone for a while while she pops a kid out, so myself and another co-worker have been charged with filling her shoes. I got the GIANT shoe, i think. All Beth does is fuckin eat tic tacs and complain about how shitty her haircut is.<br /><br />NEWSFLASH: SHUT UP!<br /><br />I've been workin my ass off all week and I swear, I don't even think she's even checked her voicemail, she's too busy bitching.<br /><br />Anyway, I've been so bushed when i get home, I just pop a beer and hit the sack. I haven't seen anyone this week and I miss you guys! Even the old ball & chain! haha!<br /><br />But tonight's the night we've been waiting for! 4/20! We're gonna have a friggin blast. And MAN do i need it after the week I've had!<br /><br />MOLLY MALONES, HERE WE COME! Right after we visit Mary Jane! HA! lok at that--it's almost exactly 4:20 on 3/20!

My boss is going out on leave this week, so I had to get a ton of stuff done for her before she pops her kid. <br /><br />We didn't get everything done, so I went home and zonked out on Friday (after another vodka-ale) and on Saturday, I had to drive all the way to Woodland fuckin Hills to meet with Pat to finish the hand-off. She's only going to be gone a month, but me and my coworker need to step up and help guide things while she's gone. So we had to finish going over everything and Zack said he knows some bar up there, so we all car-pooled and I dropped them off at Blarney's Cove. <br /><br />The place looked awesome from the outside, so I was anxious to get my shit done with Pat. It only took two hours to finish. My boss is cool, but kind of a control freak, so she had to explain everything to me fifteen times, like I'm some kind of idiot. I mean, i've worked for her forever, she knows she can trust me. But she still freaks out. I think she's just worried about becoming a mom....but she'll be a good one. Lots of nagging! lol!<br /><br />Anywya, after my meeting, I met up with Karen, Zack & Tiff at the Blarney cove. By thte time i got there, Tiff was already drunk as hell and Zack was right behind her. Me and Karen were the only two sober ones in the place, i think! IT was a total british pub theme....really cool. It made me feel like an old brit! I kept smacking zack on his head like I was benny hill, and Tiff kept shoving her boobs at the bartender shouting, "KISS MY BLARNEY COVES!" lol!Drinking Till 40http://www.blogger.com/profile/13063823156416111362noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538923193258587604.post-25543139374629071922007-04-12T11:27:00.000-07:002007-04-12T11:36:34.403-07:00Shits & GigglesDudes,<br /><br />It's like this week has been raining shit. And i have a diarreah umbrella. Actually, my stomach's been bugging me all week and i've been hauling ass (so to speak) to the bathroom like once an hour. I don't wanna be too gross, but it's been a tough few days.<br /><br />Wayne dropped by last night with some soup (Thanks Bro!). I don't know what's wrong with me, but today's the first day i can be out of bed without wanting to die.<br /><br />On top of it all, my boss is out of maternity leave starting this week, and I was supposed to do a bunch of shit for her, so i'm probably going to wind up having to go in this weekend if I feel up to it. <br /><br />SUCKs.<br /><br />It all started Monday night, when me, Tiff, Zack and Kar went out to dinner. I think i had some bad pasta primavera. Zack called it pasta primavomit when it arrived--i should have known somethin was up! I think he cursed me! He had it too and has been down all week. Tiff dropped him off at my place yesterday and all day we just layed around on the sofas watching shitty movies on tv. <br /><br />Between Tiff & her computer virus and Zack and his real virus...I'm starting to think i should keep away! <br /><br />But never fear, bros and broettes! Zack had the great idea of adding some vodka to the ginger ale we've been using to help settle our stomachs. Just a little shot to keep my goals in check. It's weird being sick with a buzz...it really didn't help my case at all, but at least i'm still on track, ya know?<br /><br />Karen's coming over to check on me and bring me some lunch in a few. Isn't she just the best??Drinking Till 40http://www.blogger.com/profile/13063823156416111362noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538923193258587604.post-78458950301042834722007-04-09T11:44:00.000-07:002007-04-09T11:52:20.920-07:00Easter Eggselence!Zack and Tiff had a little Easter Gathering yesterday--complete with egg dying! It was totally fun. For every egg we messed up, Tiff made us do a shot. I think I had about fifty of them! lol! Afterwards, we all went over to Karen's and hid the eggs. When she got home, we made her find them all. Her roommate eventually had to help her. lol...it was hilarious.<br /><br />We were all going to see Grindhouse, but Tiff and Zack kind of got into a weird fight, so me and Karen just chilled at her place. <br /><br />Today, my buddy at work finally gave me my laptop back--he assures me it is Tiff Virus Free!<br /><br />Thank our risen god! hahah!Drinking Till 40http://www.blogger.com/profile/13063823156416111362noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538923193258587604.post-43582361947481899502007-04-05T17:32:00.000-07:002007-04-05T17:37:45.676-07:00Passover...the Manni!Last night, Dwayne & Wayne hosted a small Passover meal--complete with lots of mannischevitz (SP?). Karen's half Jewish so she lead me through most of the hard parts...and the food was soooo good. But there was WAY too much of it. Wayne really outdid himself this time!<br /><br />This morning, my car wouldn't start for some damned reason. I told Karen that it's one of the 21st century plagues--along with the Tiff Virus! lol! Anyway, i got to work late and now i'm workin a little passed the bell because the office is closing down early for easter. <br /><br />God bless us, every one!Drinking Till 40http://www.blogger.com/profile/13063823156416111362noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538923193258587604.post-27358810032969537022007-04-04T14:20:00.000-07:002007-04-04T15:03:28.093-07:00Jack of All Blades of GloryLast night, me and Kar went with Zack to see Blades of Glory. Tiff had to work late, which sucks bcause she would have died watching this with us. Will Farrell is so funny, i couldn't even breathe through most of it! He can do it all! He was always so good on SNL, but i really think he has found his calling with this movie! Napoleon Dynomite was funny, too, but will definitely stole the show.<br /><br />Afterwards, we all met Tiff at Cat & Fiddle and I had some jacks & cokes. I'm not sure how she did it, but Tiff somehow got Karen to drink a little with us! It was cool because she's usually on teh straight & arrow, but she definitley was feeling good last night. <br /><br />Work's been slow this week...i'm totally caught up and now just chillin here waiting for the 5 oclock bell to ring! lol!Drinking Till 40http://www.blogger.com/profile/13063823156416111362noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538923193258587604.post-76106962640245029032007-04-03T10:49:00.000-07:002007-04-03T11:27:47.685-07:00March Sadness/April DroolsOver the weekend, me and Karen went over to Q's in Santa Monica with Zack, Tiff & Seth to watch the bruins get their asses fucking handed to them.<br /><br />Man, it was a sad end to a great season, and the four of us drank our sorrows away (Thank God Karen was DD, right??) Even Tiff's one-liners couldn't make us laugh on Saturday. It really sucked--so disappointing. <br /><br />On Sunday, Karen drove us up the PCH to have dinner with her friends Matt & Lisa. Karen's great and all, but her college friends are nothing like mine! It's funny to see people like Karen--just all calm and polite. I think Matt secretly is cool, though...he seemed to loosen up after I bought him a couple of shots out of eye-shot of the ladies. hahha!<br /><br />Yesterday, we had off, so I just kind of lounged around the house and caught up on Tivo. My computer at home is still jacked from the Tiff Virus, so one of my buds at work is looking it over this week.<br /><br />Sweet!Drinking Till 40http://www.blogger.com/profile/13063823156416111362noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538923193258587604.post-77391531082554549702007-03-30T11:06:00.000-07:002007-03-30T11:20:40.196-07:00TGIF - Thank God it's Fried-Day!Thank heavens this week is OVER. It has been so long and so tedious. I've been having massive computer problems all week--both at home and at work! I swear, technology hates me! And to top it all off, I'm pretty sure Karen got me sick. So, I cancelled dinner with her last night because I'm totally wiped out. If I can concetrate enough on work, I'm going to try and leave early. <br /><br />Nothing but sweet dreams and (small) sweet drinks this weekend for me!<br /><br /><br />Cheers!Drinking Till 40http://www.blogger.com/profile/13063823156416111362noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538923193258587604.post-32970148447572172992007-03-29T07:54:00.000-07:002007-03-29T08:03:39.286-07:00Hell (or my Computer) Froze OverYesterday was a tough day! Almost as soon as I got to work, my computer froze and was down all morning and most of the afternoon! It couldn't have picked a worst time, since I had seven meetings scheduled! <br /><br />The tech guy says it is a virus--they're pretty sure that I opened something weird. I think it was an e mail that I thought Tiff sent me. cuz her computer went down last week. Thanks a LOT, tiff!! lol!<br /><br />I left the office early yesterday because I couldn't get anything done...and met up with Mister Zack at the Cat & Fiddle. It's weird drinking outside on a weekday, but I can definitely get used to it!<br /><br />We just had a couple of beers before Tiff joined us and started buying shots. (To make up for her shitty virus!) I was asleep by 10 last night. That's a good thing because I have to be at work early this morning to catch up on yesterday's bizz!<br /><br />I guess I'm not allowed to open any more of Tiff's e-mails! lol!Drinking Till 40http://www.blogger.com/profile/13063823156416111362noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538923193258587604.post-47554005680149667992007-03-27T09:30:00.000-07:002007-03-27T08:16:16.509-07:00All Temperature Beer!Last night, I had nothing really going on, so Karen came by while I did laundry. A couple weeks ago, she got all mad about the cheap detergent I use because she says it makes my clothes smell like metal. I told her it's the old driers in my building, but she insisted on buying me a bottle of Cheer. She thinks they smell much better, but I don't really notice a difference. But hey, if she's going to be sniffing my clothes, I guess I should do what she says. LOL!<br /><br />We watched our CBS shows while she folded the clothes. (Actually, i watched them, and she went on and on about how great my shirts smell now.) Even Dwayne stopped by to lend his support to Kar's cause. If I didn't know any better, I'd think they were trying to tell me something!

Last night, Karen and I wound up just watching TV at her place after she cooked. I had a glass of wine, but am kind of tired of drinking, believe it or not! LOL! I'd better pace myself--i got a LOT of time to go before I reach the end of this thing! hahhaha!<br /><br />Plus, the end of the month is always my busiest time, getting all my paperwork filed is always a challenge--it's definitely the low point of my job! I'm gonna need some beer tonight, I can already feel it! Hmmm....Maybe i'll go easy on it NEXT week! hahah!<br /><br />Cheers!Drinking Till 40http://www.blogger.com/profile/13063823156416111362noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538923193258587604.post-84149419668660441432007-03-25T17:42:00.000-07:002007-03-25T19:21:22.299-07:00Straddle RanchThis weekend has been amazing. Totally relaxing (and now fully recovered from Vegas!!) Friday was totally low key with Karen. Just went to dinner by her place and came back to my apt for some quality alone time. It was nice just to chill out.<br /><br />Yesterday we lounged around by her pool and then Zack came up with the idea to do something TOTALLY cheesy: Saddle Ranch!<br /><br />Hahha! it was actually really fun, believe it or not! After a couple of glasses of liquid courage, Zackattack braved the bull--for about 12 seconds! It was a riot! Then TIFF got up there! She started doing her cowboy routine, calling everybody "pardner" and then climbed up & held on for dear life--and did pretty good, but fell off after nearly a minute! I really thought she was goin all the way! They tried to get me and Karen to go up, but I know I'd look like an idiot up there! No, thanks! lol!<br /><br />Today, we're just taking it easy. We were going to see a movie, but there's nothing out at all (and I'll be damned if I'm going to see the Last Mimzy, no matter how much Karen begs!) Although I wouldn't mind seeing the Ninja Turtle movie. The first ones were definitely fun!Drinking Till 40http://www.blogger.com/profile/13063823156416111362noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538923193258587604.post-48755883469633530812007-03-23T11:33:00.000-07:002007-03-23T13:59:30.402-07:00Go BREW-ins!!!Yesterday after work, I went over to Zack's place for a guy's night. Just some pizza and beer to watch UCLA kick the shit out of Pittsburgh! We're going all the way!!! YEEEAHH!<br /><br />Tiff came by after the game to kick it with us. Man, she's having a tough time at work, but I can't help but laugh as she tells us the stories. She just KILLS me! Her impressions are dead on! Not that i've met her boss, but I can imagine!<br /><br />She should totally quit do the stand-up comedy thing. She would KILL! There are so many open mic nights, she should totally just do it! I told her: It's just like kareoke, but with talking!<br /><br />I should probably quit my job, too...Maybe I can be her agent! LOL!<br /><br />Aww well, back to the grind!<br /><br />Cheers!Drinking Till 40http://www.blogger.com/profile/13063823156416111362noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538923193258587604.post-6980566095416677102007-03-22T12:39:00.000-07:002007-03-22T13:36:07.544-07:00Spring Lime for Hitler!This week feels like it has been dragging on. I'm so exhausted, and I cannot wait to just chill OUT this weekend! Last night, I stopped by Dwayne & Wayne's place and relaxed with them for a bit & told them about Vegas. Wayne's in a cooking class and had these little lime chicken treats that he made. They were AWEsome! I brought over a bottle of white wine and some weird dip that Karen brought over last week. They had on the remake of The Producers. I can't believe that they actually made the original movie even funnier! Will Farrell is a genius. . .<br /><br />But I was so tired that during the movie, I started to zonk out, so I just went home and crashed even before George Lopez was on! TGFT: Thank Goodness for Tivo! (I should put that on a t-shirt!)<br /><br />Oh well, back to work!<br /><br />Cheers!Drinking Till 40http://www.blogger.com/profile/13063823156416111362noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538923193258587604.post-6708832996123367262007-03-21T15:08:00.000-07:002007-03-21T15:58:15.306-07:00It Ain't Easy Peein' Green<span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">I'm still recovering from my weekend in </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Los</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"> Vegas (or as Zack calls it: Lost Wages!! </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">lol</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">!) I'm definitely still in a lot of pain! On Saturday night, we saw Dave Matthews perform...and man, did he go above and beyond expectations!

Karen wasn't feeling so hot--i think the concert gave her a headache--so she went upstairs and we all went to the club. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Zack, Tiff and I partied hard at the club and went back to our room at like 4. I was trying to find a bottle of vodka we brought with us, and Karen was sleeping. LOL--then Tiff started making all these weird faces at Kar--gettin REAL close to her and being hilarious. I was trying to be quiet, but Karen woke up as we were all giggling. (Woops!!) She didn't know what was going on and pretty much went right back to sleep and we moved the party to Zack's room till dawn. By the time I got back, Karen was feeling better and went downstairs to gamble while i slept for a few hours till checkout.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">It was a REALLY hard morning, but me and Zack tried our luck at craps...and that's exactly how i did! Zack was up about 200 before I even knew what was happening. I lost another 450 and stopped playing altogether.

All coinciding with St. Patrick's Day. It's a PerfectStorm of booze.<br /><br />As soon as we got into town on Friday night, the drinks started flowing. Tiff and Zack booked us into the Palms, so we went to our room, then right onto the casino floor. Karen won like forty bucks at the slots, and I lost a hundred on blackjack in about five minutes. Lucky for me, I had already started drinking and we didn't stop. <br /><br />Tiff got it in her head to go see Thunder from Down Under--some australian stripper guys. She tried to get Karen to go with her, but karen wasn't even playing that game. lol!<br /><br />The rest of Friday night was pretty much a blur. We took a cab to the strip and wound up at Coyote Ugly @ NYNY. It was fucking madness in there. Tiff had about two sips of her drink and wound up on the bar, dancing with the bartenders and pouring her drink into Zack's mouth. Before I knew it, her bra was hanging on this giant wall - of - bras! Tiff called it the Lace-y's Day Parade! LOL! Tiff tried to convince Kar to take off her bra--by pouring a drink down the front of her shirt! I swear!!! That girl! It's all pretty much a haze after that, except for Tiff harassing the little Mexican dudes handing out porn on the corners. I just remember her screaming "YOU WANNA SEE TITTIES" and then karen grabbed a cab and we went back to the Palms<br /><br />On Saturday afternoon, we woke up a little groggy and after food, the girls hung out by the pool while Zack and I went and watched some March fucking Madness! Well...Zack watched. I just had my fucking heart ripped out. I lost $800 on the Vanderbilt Washington bullshit. Double OT--by four points. Broke my heart...and my wallet. But Zack won almost double that on his games, lucky fucker. <br /><br />I was bummed, but I forgot it all as we got ready to go see Dave Fucking Matthews. I went up to the room and washed the stench of loss off me. Then Me and kar went to Zack & Tiff's room to get them...and Tiff was fucking around, jumping up and down on the bed. Of course, she's wasted and we're all a little lit and I'm cracking up--and she tumbles down off the bed while Zack's in the bathroom. HAHAHHAHAH....She said was fine because of her "airbags!!" I swear, she's such a maniac!! <br /><br />We went to the show and Dave matthews fuckin ROCKED!! it was amazing. <br /><br />FUCK! I just noticed what time it is. I gotta head out of the office soon, and I have an assload of shit to do (since i missed work yesterday. More on that later!) I promised Kar i'd meet her at the Promenade tonight for dinner in Santa MOn!<br /><br /><br />CHEERS!Drinking Till 40http://www.blogger.com/profile/13063823156416111362noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538923193258587604.post-42860134150722673692007-03-19T16:31:00.001-07:002007-03-19T16:42:05.541-07:00Erin Go BarfI've been drunk since 10PM friday night.

Last night, while at dinner with Karen, I couldn't contain myself (must have been the Patrone!) and told her that I'm taking her to Vegas this weekend. She seems pretty excited, and although she's not a huge, huge fan of DMB, she knows enough of their songs to enjoy the show. I mean, he's such a great performer, I know she'll fall in love with him after tomorrow night!<br /><br />Zack booked us rooms at The Palms and it is gonna be off the hook!<br /><br />Now if I can just get through my day today, I'll be set for the weekend! I'm definitely overdid it this week. But what better way to celebrate St. Paddy's day, right???<br /><br />Green beer all weekend!!!Drinking Till 40http://www.blogger.com/profile/13063823156416111362noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538923193258587604.post-32153621250559171432007-03-15T13:34:00.000-07:002007-03-15T16:00:17.760-07:00Tripping SilliesOh man...Last night was rough. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Kar</span> made some pasta for us, and just as we were about to settle in and watch TV, Zack called. He somehow managed to convince me to meet him and Tiff at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Amagi's</span> for Karaoke to celebrate our trip to Vegas. Karen wanted nothing to do with it, but I went out for "just one drink," promising her a great time this weekend. (She still has no idea I'm taking her to Vegas!!)<br /><br />Anyway, I met them there and they were already singing Summer <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Lovin</span>'. Tiff was even doing a little dance up on the stage! I was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">ROFTL</span>!<br /><br />We had some rum & cokes and then Zack convinced me to go up and sing Tripping Billies with him to celebrate our Dave Matthews trip this weekend! We are SO pumped! And then Tiff got up on stage and started square dancing with me while Zack took lead. The crowd was loving it! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">hahhahah</span>!<br /><br />So this morning it was really hard to get up and out of bed. My head is STILL pounding. I called my boss and said my car wouldn't start...so I just showed up to work a little while ago, and I'm trying to catch up. I'm taking off early tomorrow to get ready for Vegas, Baby!!!<br /><br />PS: I forgot to mention that I had a 40 with Dwayne the other night while he was over. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">LOL</span>!Drinking Till 40http://www.blogger.com/profile/13063823156416111362noreply@blogger.com1
