Hey Everyone!!

I know it's been a couple of days.  Well, I usually try to blog while I am at work and Thursday night I went to Katy's Bachelorette Party (part 1).  Also, this weekend was President's Day so I went to St. Louis to chill with family and friends.  So, unfortunately, I kept forgetting to let ya'll know what all was going on.  Well lets recap....

Thursday.  Totally regular day with classes and a work out that kicked my butt.  Thursday night Lindsey, Katy, and I went out to celebrate Katy's last weekend as a single woman.  I'm gonna say it... WE GOT WASTED!!!  It was college night at Bubbles and the special was 2 for $1.50 wells.  Bad idea.  We drank cranberry vodkas all night.  I had about 8.  After Bubbles we went across the alley to Zan.  Another bad idea.  When I'm drunk I love to dance.  With anyone.  This guy stopped me as I was crossing the dance floor and we started to dance.  Let's just say that from this point on, I don't remember much.  I actually blacked out.  Never happened before ever.  Lindsey came on the floor to tell me that she was taking Katy outside.  I was like "OK!"  My dance partner asks if we can talk outside, since it's so loud, and I'm like "sure."  When we get out there he keeps walking and next thing I know we are in his truck headed to my house.  We have to stop multiple times for me to vomit... gross.  I was totally messed up that night.  We got to my house, Lindsey and Katy get me out the car.  That is all I remember.  Lindsey tells me later that "we got you in the house and you just plopped in your bed.  We had to move you onto your side and get you a waste basket to throw up in.  You kept saying you were sorry.  Like every couple seconds."  I only remember waking up later on that night wanting to brush my teeth and drink some water.  The night was a complete blur.  I will have to get all the detail from Lindsey and Katy and share later.

Friday.  Woke up with a hangover.  First ever.  I'm sure you don't believe me, but let me say, I do get drunk at times.  But Thursday night was the drunkest ever.  And I had to make up a lab at the Child Development Center.  Such a bad idea.  I couldn't run with the kids outside for fear that I would start vomiting.  Inside, it was a little bit better.  I looked for the kids that were doing the least and hung out with them.  After lab, I went home, ate some lunch, then packed up my car and headed to St. Louis.  Once I got to my parents house, I took a nap.  I woke up to Fernando calling to see if I wanted to hang out.  We met up and had dinner at the City Diner on Grand.  Afterwards, I headed home and crashed.

Saturday.  Totally slept in.  Picked up Marissa and Lorna and headed to Chesterfield Mall.  We just walked around.  I ran into my sista Stephanie at Victoria Secrets and we chatted for a bit.  I miss her a lot.  She was my party buddy while she was at school.  After the mall, we headed to Applebee's for some eats.  I just ate an appetizer since I knew I was meeting Fernando for dinner.  I met with Fernando after dropping my friends off and we made our way to the southside to see about Mardi Gras.  By the time we got there it was pretty much all closed up.  We decided to check out the Landing and once we got close we realized where everyone had gone.  The Landing.  It took us a little while to find parking but once we did we had the perfect spot.  We parked facing an alley that led to Big Daddy's.  For a while we just sat in the car just watching people stumble around making up the conversations they were having.  Then I got hungry for pancakes.  So we left for Uncle Bill's Pancake House.  We sat there and ate for quite a while.  Whenever I go there it never seems to be just an eat and leave.  The service was great.  And I highly recommend going if you've never been.

Sunday.  I slept in.  Showered.  Then packed up the car.  I was heading out when I figured that since it was still early I would go ahead and get the much needed final new tire put on the car.  The wait?  2 hours.  OK.  Since there was a shopping center, I walked around a bit, got some lunch, then went back to the tire place to watch some TV and try to do some studying.  As I was getting restless, I realized that the car was done.  Yes!  Hopped in and headed back to Springfield.  

As you can see a lot did go on this weekend.  I'm sorry that I could not go into great detail for fear that this post would be too long.  And since it is SO long I will say "See Ya!'
