Fun in the sun!!!!

Well this weekend was definitely busy and a ton of fun.

Friday I went and had lunch with Jeff at this Japanese restaurant. Lunch came in benzo boxes and it was soo yummy and delish! I ate way too much and had to be rolled to the grocery store in order to shop for Faye's party on Saturday. After shopping and buying waaaaayyyy toooo much food, I met up with Lisa and Kelly for a going away/birthday drinks/dinner at El Mercado. I must admit that their big ass magarita is muy bueno. Then I went over to Hickory Street Bar and Cafe to meet Jeff to have drinks for Tony's birthday. I held off because I knew that I'd be spending the rest of the night cooking....although $2 ritas and beer is sooooo tempting! Went home and started making food for Saturday night.

Saturday I got up early and started cooking. I made penis shaped cookies for the party and a frozen white chocolate raspberry torte. It was delicious. Then I met Jeff and his mom and little sister Erica at Manuels for lunch. Then I went back home to cook some more. I made the mexican seafood cocktail and the cheese platter and veggie tray. More cooking and chopping and then Jeff and the fam came over to swim. Took a little break from slaving over the stove for a little relaxation. Then shower and more cooking. The girls started arriving at 7:00pm for the lingerie/"slumberparty". The lady who did the demonstrations was a little disappointing but everyone had a lot of fun and the penis cookies were a big hit!! Lots of food was eaten but it you know me...I had more food than 10 girls could eat and there was tons leftover. When the party was done and purchases had been made, we headed downtown. Lots of drinking ensued and I did not get to bed until 4am.

Before I say anything about Sunday....I have to give credit to my friend F for introducing me to some of her friends in Austin. So, even though she's moved away and living large in Rome, some of them still keep in contact with me. On Friday afternoon, I talked to Philip of Scotland online and he invited me to join in on his wild weekend. Mainly they were partying all weekend going tubing and then boating on sunday. Well of course I couldn't do anything Friday or Saturday but Sunday seemed tempting. So, I ended up calling *cough, cough* sick to work and Jeff, Emily and I went boating with Phil and like 20 of his other closest friends. It was such a blast. Even though we waited at Carlos & Charlies for like 2hrs before the boats arrived, it was still a ton of fun and EVERYONE was sooooo great and nice. We all had a ton of fun and it kicked ass! Then one of the boat owners ended up paying for everyone's dinner. I couldn't believe it...he plopped down his boat, time, and gas money and then went and paid for dinner!!! Well we didn't get home until 10:30 or so and it was a bitch to get up for work the next day. Ohh! and God got me back for lying and calling in sick. I now have oddly splotched sunburns on my hands and 2 spots on my face. The burns on my hands are really bad and painful and have blisters. The ones on my face are dry and itchy. Payback sucks! and sunblock can be misleading!
