A night out

June 1, 2007 · 4 comments

Last night found us driving to K & D’s house to celebrate D’s birthday.  My wonderful MIL came to hang with the boys; we assured her that we wouldn’t be gone too long, but alas, we pulled in the driveway after midnight.  Luckily the boys were sleeping and mom was fine; even the dogs were good!  But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Our first stop was Clamdiggers where I had a very large draught beer that tasted not-so-faintly of Fruity Pebbles. Really.  It’s real and I have to say, for someone who can take or leave beer, this was certainly a good option!  [Pretty sure the next one I want to try is this one!] A few other friends joined us and a couple of rounds of Dirty Girl Scouts ( taste just like Thin Mints, I swear!), a Mashed Potato Pizza and lots of laughter later, we headed out to our next stop.

The place we ended up was a martini bar with a live jazz band.  Cool exposed brick, tin ceiling, good tunes.  A good time was had by all, but it got late fast and since everyone except me & K had to work today, it was time to call it a night.  It was a lot of fun – K & I work together, but we never seem to get a chance to talk anymore, so it was nice to have some time to yell chat.

The best part? Even though I’m a total lightweight these days, I had a few drinks, got a nice buzz on, and got up without a headache!  Moderation is the key, people!

It was pretty cool seeing where the guys hang out when they go out the last Friday of the month. Now I can put the places with the stories and it all makes a lot more sense!  Well, as much sense as those guys can make!!  😆

The new carpet is being installed tomorrow (and Sunday) so this afternoon M and I are going to take out some cabinets and I’m going to unload and reload my car.  I want to get as much stuff out of the way as possible so they can work as quickly as possible!  So that’s the excitement of my weekend – hanging out with a bunch of carpet guys, trying to stay out of the way while wondering what the heck they’re talking about in a language not my own!
