weekend re-cap.
friday. what did i do on friday? ok. i remember now....i went to eddie's attic and met kristin and liz before the doria show. i also randomly saw a good few other former scotties - memphis, destiny, jana....small world it is. la casita take-out was dinner and it made my tummy HAPPY!
saturday. oh saturday. got up very early and took my tree to the chipper in grant park (for my conservation/recycling efforts i received a doc green's koozie). then it was up I-75 to the calhoun outlet mall where i got uber-cute stuff at the gap and old navy outlets. i also accompanied nevena and becky to 2 pawn shops where nevena got horrible offers for a ring she's trying to sell. then down we went to rome where we parked it on the couch and watched wedding crashers....which was as funny as curran had promised me. then we had xmas dinner, which was fabulous. after gorging on food and dessert, kenshata came over and we spent a happy hour or so at the sole coffeeshop in rome....starbucks in barnes & noble. avoiding running into anyone from high school was accomplished and i eventually made my way back to atlanta, with my cd from kenshata playing and making me very happy.
after getting home, it was time to start the night out on the town. cassi and lauren met up with me at brick store and then jess, mel, and jo met us there. we had drinks before walking down to my sister's room. at this point, i was already a little tipsy from pounding the 2nd cider and not having any dinner. well, let's just say the night got more interesting. i had another cider and two shots - by then i was drunk drunk. we were having fun - scoping the crowd, dancing, etc....i turn around at one point and more shots are being taken but i know better at this point than to partake. jen and lizzie showed up a little later with some boys in tow, but we commenced to agnes scott girl dancing...which concluded the night and bob picked drunken jel up on his way home from work around 1:30. after puking and passing out holding on to the toilet, bob got me to bed around 4 in the morning.
sunday (oh dear god, sunday) was my last day to bar-tend. so i get up, after a lot of spinning and trying to focus on one thing, puke again, and eventually bob gets me in the car to drive me to work. after an emergency pull-in to the citgo parking lot (where i puked all over again), we arrived at the mac. the staff walked on eggshells around me as i opened the bar....but after two more trips to the pukatorium, i had to leave. so home i went to get in the bed from 11:30 to 3:15. then back to the mac to help out b/c i felt guilty that i'd left. after playing the running food and rolling silverware bitch for a couple of hours, bob and i headed to the vortex for my first meal in well over 24 hours. grilled cheese and tots (of which i finished half). mmm mmm good. i had to miss out on the l word premiere though b/c dinner did not make me feel better in any way except psychologically. :(
today, i woke up - felt pretty much better...however, after a yummy lunch of amy's chili and yogourt, it was back to queasy nausea. and yes, it is 7:47 p.m. and i still have slight spins when i bend over or turn my head too quickly. it has almost been 48 hours since i commenced drinking. this is pitiful. i am pitiful. this long, drawn-out story is being posted in order to provide evidence as to the wisdom of why i am a teetotaler and why i don't drink (at least not more than 2 drinks in any given day). by tomorrow, this will probably be as funny as bob seemed to find it on sunday....but for right now, i'm squeamish about going to prep and cook dinner for us this evening.
on better notes - my health insurance card arrived today (too bad i checked the mail AFTER going to the pharmacy and paying $169.82 for my migraine meds out of pocket), i got the cutest holiday "card" from barb and julie and the kids, HD tv is awesome - especially when watching discovery HD, i may be heading to clearwater fl at the end of the month as part of a large-scale consulting project i'm on (yeah BEACH!), and i have a fun (though quite busy) week ahead of me. now if only there was some magic two-day-later-hangover-cure for me to take.....
