Wine, Chicken Foot, Agent 86, The Phone Number, & Midori Sours

So this past weekend I had a dear friend come to visit me! Tara is pretty much the only person I still talk to from Tarleton so its nice to see her again. See last time I went to see her I ended up getting sick so the weekend could have gone better! She arrived Friday afternoon (she would have arrived a little earlier but Google Maps failed her). She absolutely adored the kitties and they adored her!

So that night Tara, myself, and my mom opened up some wine and we introduced her to Chicken Foot! It took her only 2 rounds to finally get the hang of it and she was hooked! We played till at least 11-12 I think! And then Tara indulged me with my first round of Harry Potter Scene It!, which she actually won (and my ego was shot lol).

The next day we played some more chicken foot and Harry Potter Scene It! (I finally won lol) and then it was nap time. Kristen called me and asked if we wanted to come over later that night to hang out and play pool and stuff! So when Tara got up I asked her. I think I caught her off guard because she was a little leery that she wouldn't have anything to talk about with Kristen and Allen and she didn't know how to act. So i told her what K told me ACT LIKE YOURSELF! She agreed to hang out (hesitantly) and then we headed off to go see Get Smart!! We showed up at the the theater and went to go give out tickets when I look up and see a giant cut out of DWIGHT from The Office behind the ticket taker. Only Dwight was not dressed as Dwight, he was almost naked with nothing but a banana hammock on, long wavy brown hair, and a sword in each hand. Spontaneously, without thinking I shouted OMG THAT'S DWIGHT! I think the ticket taker thought I was crazy. Anyway, Get Smart was sooooooo funny! It had to have been the funniest movie Ive seen in a while. Steve Carell (Agent 86) is quickly becoming my favorite comedian!! MUST SEE! MUST GO SEE! EVERYONE GO SEE!!
After the movie we headed to Red Robin which neither of us had been to. It wasn't too crowded and a pleasant environment, and we sat down and ordered and caught up on whats been going on with each other. Our waiter was pretty handsome and very kind (of course what waiter isn't that wants a big tip lol) They did have some mighty fine drinks there and I even asked the waiter to just make me a drink the way he thought it needed to be made. He brought me an Ultimate Margarita, gave me a gentle punch on the shoulder and said, "This will knock you on your ass!!"...................................AND IT DID!! lol So as we were about to leave Tara got some spirit in her and decided to leave her number for the waiter. She asked me if I wanted her to leave my number and i was like NO NO NO! Should have just been spontaneous and said yes but oh well right! Anyway, she did leave her number and then we high tailed it out of the restaurant lol! I think she was nervous the waiter would see the ticket while we were still there or something lol!
After a quick bathroom break at the house we headed over to Kristen's. By this time Tara is really excited to head over to K's! I had told her when I came down to visit that my new favorite drink was a Midori Sour. Kristen was the one who introduced me to it! SOOOOOO good! Anyway, Allen became bartender and Tara got to try her first Midori Sour! I think she liked it! Anyway, we played pool and listened to music and danced (Well me and Kristen did!!) and talked. It really was soo much fun!!! We left Kristen's around 3 am and headed to Whataburger for a taquito on my part and chicken strips for Tara! It didn't take long for us to fall asleep lets just say that!!

The next morning we played another round of chicken foot then Tara headed home! It was such a great weekend. I really cant remember the last time I had such a great exciting and relaxing weekend where I just completely enjoyed myself.

Sadly, things went back to normal yesterday as the week began and it was back to work. Seems its always worse and harder to get back to your daily routine when you have a holiday! So I always have to remind myself that Holidays might be fun, but the aftermath sucks!!

On a completely different note, my sister is due to have Christopher any day now. Or I hope any day now for her sake! I'm sending contraction/birthing thoughts to you Diana!! Here's hoping!! Anyway, everyone have a good week and I hope your 4th of July weekend was as enjoyable as mine!
