Mai Tai's in 10 days....

I leave for Thailand in 10 days, I cannot WAIT. I need a vacation from this place, from my life really, and I'm so ready its not funny. A bungalow on the water awaits my arrival, hopefully it will be serviced by a hot cabana boy who brings a steady flow of Mai Tai's or Margaritas all day long. That sounds like the perfect vacation!


This is where I will be staying, it looks heavenly. My mind is in overdrive right now with everything going on at work and personally, I cannot wait to be on the other side of the world from it all. And I better come back damn tan!!

Let's Celebrate Bitches!

So I knew it was going to be a good night, when at 2:30pm in the afternoon, I was at a bar drinking with friends. By 4pm I had been introduced to many old men, who were buying us beer; and the owner of the bar had so lovingly applied my personal chapstick not only to his lips, but about half of his face. How could one not be in a good mood? Then the Guinness girls showed up and gave us beads, t-shirts, and a hat for Chappy who showed up at just the right time :) After convincing one more friend, Meredith, to come on down too, I was having a damn good time.

My plans to head to Chapel Hill were foiled a little by thoughts of sleeping in my own bed, as I could tell this was going to be a long night. So I headed back to Raleigh with Meredith, to go to Old Navy and Michaels, WASTED, and buy t-shirts and iron on letters, to make the best shirts ever. IT's a funny thing to be in a clothing store, clearly drunk, with little kids running around, and I'm talking at what I'm SURE was my bar voice and not my inside voice, about how happy I was to be "drunk in Old Navy". Yes, classy lady here.

After the purchases were made, we dashed back to Merediths place, to take Jager Bombs while ironing on our letters. TOTALLY safe right? Well, the shirts were a hit I must say. Who doesn't love a pair of girls with shirts that say "I'm Drunk" on the front and "Let's Celebrate Bitches" on the back? I'm pretty sure we were the most populare people there :)

There was a band outside, we danced, a lot, by ourselves. We eventually met up with the people we knew, had some MORE beers, on top of the oh, 5 Jager Bombs we'd downed in the last hour or so. Reaching black out status was quite easy, and when I woke up the next morning with someone's autograph on my right hand, all I could do was smile, and roll over and go back to sleep. Because that is what one does after a night of "Let's Celebrate Bitches"!!! I'm so glad Meredith came up with that grand idea for the night......thanks girl!

Presidents Day Postponed Weekend....

My weekend in a nutshell can be summed up with these photos....It was an AWESOME time, now I am grounded for a week to recover. Did I mention that I had SO MUCH FUN?? Yeah, I did. I went on a boat, to a bar, that rules.

Oh happy day!

I am in the BEST mood today. You want to know why?? I AM WEARING SANDALS!!! It's going to be 80 degrees today, its Thursday, and I'm going to the beach tomorrow! It's officially almost springtime. Everyone at work is wearing skirts and sandals, people are driving with their windows down, and I slept with my windows open. So many things to be happy about :)

I'm super pumped for this weekend. I'm heading to John's beach house in SC with some friends from near and afar. It's going to be a weekend of cold beers, grilling out, walking on the beach, and maybe getting the first hint of color since last summer. I am excited to get away. It's been quite a week!

A little update from my 2006 resolutions....I am still running, about 4 days a week. It's getting a lot easier, and I'm signed up for my first road race on April 1st. a 5K at Duke. We are going to run through the campus and the Duke Gardens, it should be a nice run. My new friend Karen, who ROCKS, is going to do it with me.

Other than that I can't remember, but getting in shape is coming along. Woohoo.

Ummm I wish it was Friday!
