A New Year

Our night ended up being very low key, but very perfect. Apparently Eric paused our countdown with TiVo, so really we counted down after we got our champagne in order around 12:10 or so. Dick Clark’s voice was a buzz kill, but the lonely island videos brought us right back up to speed.

Hope everyone had a safe and wonderful night!

Sweet Thunder

Friday started out just like any other day.. a wonderful little walk to school (the trees are amazing right now) and then an afternoon at the coffee shop. But as soon as my shift was over, I jumped in my car & swung by Laura’s house. She sat shotgun and 5 hours later we arrived in my beloved Tunica, MS.

The whole reason for the trip was not for gambling, but for my bff Kerri’s surprise birthday party. Since I usually stay with her when I visit, I figured her not knowing I was coming into town was a good excuse to hit some slots!

The view from our room at the Gold Strike

Yes, we are such classy ladies…

I came out 50 bucks and a terrible 3 am omlete breakfast ahead!

Laura with nuthin but lint.

The next morning…

…we drove to Southaven where we had lunch with my dad & family.

And also where I was reunited with my childhood banana seat bike..

The afternoon was devoted to party preparations.
Hit up the fancy new outdoor mall in Memphis, where they have a perfectly normal speed limit.

Yes, I am officially a grandma for this one…

The SURPRISE part.
Kinda blurry. I was too busy nervously enjoying the moment.

Got to chill with some of my favorite girls..

The four us us back together at last..

After the best nights sleep ever at the birthday girl’s house, we ate a late breakfast at the Arcade & were on our way back to Fayetteville…

Extra Long Cape Man, who wrapped his extra long cape around folks. Apparently, even when he went to the bathroom his cape was so long that it trailed all the way outside.

I have been taking so many pictures, I can’t keep up with myself.

A short recap of the week:
School keeps getting more and more intense. However, I was one of the few to test out of my Journalism writing course, so now I get to sleep late every Thursday for the rest of the semester.
The Canadian Tuxedos won their first softball game!
Finally got around to selling another round on Ebay.
Got a new dress (see above).
Went to Kansas City… again.
Had girls night for the first time in forever…

Just a few of the pictures from that night.
(Somehow we ended up with free shots, bottles of wine, and a kitten on our table.)
