Rainy Monday -oh- I mean Tuesday!

Well this weather is the pits! It's pouring and blowing so hard right now it sounds like the siding is coming loose! I wish this were snow! SNOW I said! We need more snow!
Mike is currently asleep on the couch in front of the tube so I'm up here putzing around on the computer.

Dad, Susan, John & Sandy left for Deutschland today! They will be back next week. I hope they have better weather than we are having!

Today I spent at least 2 hours laughing at work! Normally i'm swearing under my breath at some idiot or another, but not today, today I laughed! My little "boston cream" sent out the most hilariuos email invitation to a 'birthday' get together we are having Friday for my birthday. I don't think the email was out for 2 minutes before my phone started ringing, people were laughing, appearing in my cube to view the NICE shade of RED that my face had become. Hilarious I tell you. Oh yeah, the party on Friday? My wonderful husbands quote last week was this "feel free to pack a bag and sleep at Kristen or Kristie's house next Friday night".....don't you love it? I think I'm going to take him up on that so that A. I don't wreck B. I don't lose my job and C. he can get some sleep without laying there worrying about the insane hour that I might decide to show up at home! HA!

Gotta go see what's on HD TV tonight! Be sure to tune in on Saturday so you can catch all the details from Friday's birthday celebration!

Black Friday Night.........

Here it is......the long awaited take on things from none other than Jackie Brown, you know- the girl who doesn't hold back what she's thinking, tells it like it is.

So, black friday started out nice. I got up, stood in line at Michael's for 40 minutes to buy a handful of things, went to the Bon-Ton where I bumped into the car parked in the space next to the one I was trying to squeeze into.......I immediately found another place to park! I bought a few things in there, then hit the mall. That's when I decided I'd had enough shopping for one day. There were people everywhere! Why would you bring your brood of screaming kids out to a shopping mall on Black Friday? What the hell?

I then had a 1 hour massage. Awesome. I felt great!
I got home around 2:30.....just in time to have the Leg give me a lesson on how to use the new remote that came with the Digital/HD, whatever the hell it is, box we had installed. I must admit, HD is the way to go! So i plopped on the couch and watched tv for a few hours then showered and got ready to go out with the Wenzies.

This is where it gets interesting.......

We picked up the neighbors at 6:30 and headed for 2nd Street in Harrisburg. First stop Zia's Trattoria.......sat at the bar and had a few martinin's. Then we headed next door to Red Door and had a few more martini's. (it's now 8:30 and i'm pretty buzzed) We then took a saunter across the street to Bourbon Street Saloon where I entered a game of Beer Pong with a bunch of 23 year old guys. Hilarious. I did make the first 2 shots for my team though!! We ended up losing and I drank too many beers in there. Next stop was the new Irish pub (i don't know the name) where I ran into my buddy Steve. It was great to see him, although I don't remember much of the conversation! Next we were off to Mars, which is where we originally set out for. They make great martini's! We got a table by the door, got a round of drinks-I took one sip and said "we need to leave, I can not drink one more drop of anything". So, everyone took about 4 sips of their drink and off we went to the car.
Needless to say.....I slept with the light on and I'm still in my jammies from last night!
