This weekend, however, I booked myself solid. For two reasons: 1) I do kinda hate being bored; and, 2) I have to get out into the world, diversify, have something other than work/twitter to look forward to.
Friday night I went for drinks with coworkers. My friend / former boss
Imagine my delight when we stopped at the beer store and I. GOT. CARDED.
Carded, people. Like, as if I was 18 or something.
And then I laughed hysterically like a serial killer off her Ritalin for at least five minutes, thoroughly humiliating myself and my friend / former boss.
I continued to giggle all the way to the bus stop. "Oh, Hubby will be so glad I bought him Guinness!" And then I looked at my friend, and then into my bag, and then at my friend, and then into my bag...
Me: "Fuck."
Him: "Fuck. I'll wait here. You run!"
Dammit. I had to run all the way back to that damn beer store to pick up the beer I was so blatantly gleeful about that I then FORGOT ON THE COUNTER.
And then I ran back.
And then I couldn't breathe for 20+ minutes.
The rest of the weekend was in some ways an improvement from there.
Saturday I waited 32 obnoxious minutes for my optometrist, who was EATING LUNCH.
But then I had dinner with my amazing friend LB and played with her two adorable babies. I also cuddled her drooling cat, which is always a highlight for me. But then our outing somehow caused the end of the world because her babies got fevers which can only be blamed on me.
Sunday required a drive out of town for my best friend. I'm her MAID (don't ever say matron) of HONOUR (don't ever say disgrace) and we went to a bridal show and lunch. It was super fun and I even got Christmas/birthday gifts INCLUDING wine and peanut M&Ms, so there.
Sunday night I studied for my French test which I later decided to delay until Thursday because I'm stupid. Also, I'm unproductive because I spend way too much time laughing at crap like this:
 |
| Only you, my dear readers, will not judge me for my childishness here. |
I giggled too when I read that sentence.
ReplyDeleteGiggled?! I laughed for like 15 minutes. And tweeted it. And posted it here. Please don't judge.
Deleteoh my god I'm still laughing
DeleteHa! Me too!
DeleteBusy weekend! I can't remember the last time I was seriously carded at the liquor store/bar so now I has a sad :(
ReplyDeleteNo, no sads. They just know you there! ;)
DeleteYeah, right. Like THAT will ever happen. He will finish before I've even gotten started.
ReplyDeleteI know. That's the one fault in that sentence.
DeleteBahahahaha. Hi-larious. Glad you had a good weekend, my dear. Bonne chance avec l'examen jeudi!
ReplyDeleteGracias! Er, merci.
DeleteSeveral things about this made me smile and quietly giggle, (the Husbfriend & manbaby are sleeping)
ReplyDelete1: You got Carded! and it made you laugh hysterically, as well it should because being carded at any age is freaking fantastic.
2: You got to play with cute babies which in my opinion is always a plus and umm..you cuddled with a drooling cat..also a plus? Ha!
And 3: You spell is maid of HONOUR!!!!! I have always spelled it like that and people here think I'm weird :-/ I too spell NEIGHBOUR. Maybe I should move a bit more north??
Hope your next weekend is full of fun and adventure!! :)
You are so cute.
DeleteDrooling cats are underrated. This cat was totally hugging me around the neck and drooling on my shoulder. I needed a receiving blanket.
Of course I spell it correctly! ColoUr is another good example.
Ha, that's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I'm a total moron because I was actually about to google translate that french sentence until I realize you'd written it in english.
Ha! Yes, I should have higlighted it or something.
DeleteSo funny! I think I need to take up French.
ReplyDeleteIt's an excellent way to call people names without them knowing it.
Deleteglad you had an awesome weekend... we all need those every now and then.
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely some entertaining shit .. i love French... my name means "I like" in french.... which might mean I'm a slut... but I'm ok with that.
Oh, that's right. I never thought of the name Jaime like "J'aime". Nice!
DeleteBwuahahahahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteAnd you'll have to give me pointers on the whole Maid of Honour thing... my sister asked me to be hers and I feel very clueless (also doesn't help that she's overseas).
Ha! I've never done it before either! But I had two awesome maids of honour and what I learned from them: just do everything the bride wants, think ahead, buy her lots of gifts, and put your creative thinking cap on. :)
DeleteNice!!
ReplyDeleteHa!
Delete'Like a serial killer off her Ritalin'...so funny! Congratulations on being carded!
ReplyDeleteThanks doll!
