Weekend Review

It was QUITE a busy weekend! I was SUPPOSED to go to bed early on Friday, but after going to Wild Wing to eat, we somehow got drug out downtown and were out later than we expected.

Saturday was our busiest day. I had a hangover to get over, a wedding to go to at 4:00pm on one side of town and a gala at 7:00pm downtown. It went something like this:

Leave house at 2:30, go get wedding gift I forgot to get all week at Bed, Bath and Beyond, jump into Jersey Mike's sub shop for a quick bite to eat as we have forgotten to do that all day too, drive 30 minutes to Wilmington Island where said wedding is taking place, get lost finding location, find location, get lost AT location (very large Clubhouse...it was at a golf club/plantation), sit down for wedding, wedding starts at 4:17, ends at 4:25 (Those are really the BEST weddings), start slamming drinks at 4:27, sit down, eat, leave at 6:30pm, arrive downtown for next event at 7:02pm, valet parking is full, take an additional 20 minutes to find parking. Arrive at Kiss-A-Pig Gala for American Diabetes Association. Meet and greet people, eat more, slam more drinks, take pictures in provided photo booth: (you should click these for the full effect...)

Larkin, Krystal, Michelle and Me (my favorite picture is the last one in this strip of Michelle...I can't quit laughing at it)

Serious good fun! We left the gala and went out downtown...stayed out ENTIRELY too late...pretty sure my head hit the pillow around 3:00am. I suffered all day Sunday and because of the busy weekend of staying up too late, sleeping in too late, I didn't go to bed until 2:00am. I will be going to bed REALLY early tonight!

Weekend: SUCCESS!!

Paul seems to be missing the point of it all. :)

Love the pictures though. I'm still giggling.

Jess said...

Mel - he does it on purpose...just to aggravate the women folk...as you can see, he was surrounded that night! And as you can also see, Larkin has a raised hand in that last photo...slap!!!

Trooper Thorn said...

A recent article from the AMA suggests staying out too late may reduce the impact of diabetes later in life. You can't argue with science.

unmitigated me said...

Do you know I have never, ever even once sat in a photo booth? Must rectify that soon.

Heh. I said 'rectify.'

Jess said...

Trooper - I will have to mention that to my hangovers!!

MAW - HORRIFIC! WHAT IN THE WORLD! You haven't LIVED! Well, I guess it isn't THAT much fun...no, no, it really is. SO YEAH! Rectify that! (hehe) There will be one at Me and Krystal's wedding! :) Maybe you guys could come for that and solve the never been in a photo booth issue!

Deb said...

Nice pics - did Dave kiss the pig this year?

Photo booth at your wedding would be cool. Even cooler if we knew WHEN THIS WEDDING IS TAKING PLACE DAMMIT!

P.S.: I had a dream last night that you and I checked ourselves into the same mental facility. You were allowed to come and go as you please, but I was stuck there, making trees.

Jess said...

Deb - no, Dave didn't get to kiss the pig this year, but he got close!!!

We are just trying to get in the house and THEN we SHOULD be able to start saving up for the wedding. I am still shooting for Spring 2012!

Was the name of the mental facility BS&S? LOL! If so, we WERE SO there together!!

LilliGirl said...

I love Deb's comments...a photo booth at a wedding reception with an open bar would TOTALLY rock! Where's my invite?!

Jess said...

Lilli - Deb is evil. That is all you need to know. Hehe, just kidding. Mostly. AND there WILL be invites for all awesome blog people that want to come to the wedding! It is gonna be a seriously good time! Open bar = magnificent photo booth pictures...and people possibly getting naked in them (SCORE!)

Deb said...

Don't listen to her Lilli, I was always the good kid. And the favorite.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA

CJ said...

I wish I had half the fun you do!

Deb said...

Ha!! Loved this! Y'all party like rock stars. Wait till you get to be MY age.

When's beer:30 again??? O.o

Captain Dumbass said...

Hmm, I cut the lawn and cleaned out a fish tank. You win.

Heh, Mary said 'rectify.'

Jess said...

CJ - 1/4 of the fun would suffice! :) LOL!

Deb - Wait till I get to be 29?! Pssahhh...whateva...turning 30 this year...which means I automatically know everything (or is that 40?) AND I am going to have more money! Awww, something tells me turning 30 is going to be NOTHING like I thought when I was 18.

Capt D - cutting the lawn INSIDE the fish tank would have been pretty impressive. Tiny little mower...
