Sat: Party, DRINKS FOR WHAT?!, we passed out

Ok, so I guess I’ll go into the events of Saturday, which were bittersweet.

So we had planned to go to Baboo’s old house and clean it up some and pack the rest of his stuff and bring over to the house. We ended up spending a good amount of time in bed laying around watching tv and napping. OOPS!

It was nice though. We were almost ready to scrap it all and stay in for the day when I found a $51 check from when I bought my car (I got some of the registration cost back!) and we discovered we could go out after all! Whee!

So I made him get out of bed and we got ready to go. We had dinner at the Elephant Bar restaurant… It’s on the top of my list of fun places to eat now. The food was AWESOME. I had this crispy teriyaki chicken that was just deeelicious as well as a fairly decent Creme Brulee. I like mine to be warm all the way thru and this was cold in the middle, but still yummy! After that we were gonna go to his house, but we decided to just go to his office and watch a movie on his computer instead. lol.

We watched about 90% of Paul Blart Mall Cop… and I’m sorry, I know it was a dumb and utterly ridiculous and predictable movie, but I laughed my ass off. I liked it! We left before it was over because it was after 10 and we wanted to make an appearance at his friends birthday party. We had stopped at a store and gotten him a bottle of wine and were gonna pick up some beers since it was sort of a house party that was gonna maybe move to a bar.

Well, we found the place and nobody was there! Good thing Baboo could call a friend and we found out that they went to this hotel bar called Viceroy… We were scared as we walked up because we were both pretty casual and this place looked like it had a dress code. As we neared the door we saw a guy carring a passed out girl out the fron to this car at the valet. I’m not sure if he was in one of the limo’s or what, yes friends, limos! Argh.

So, thankfully we were cute enough to get in (after showing ID’s ha ha) and we went to the bar. One of Baboo’s friends saw him and talked to us for a bit (and made some weird comment about a giant set of boobs before walking away) as we got our drinks. Baboo pulled out a $20 because we had gotten a Mojito and a Jack and Coke. The mojito, once again, had TOO MUCH MINT! I don’t know why these bartenders are so mint happy!!! It only needs a few good sprigs and they stuffed half the glass with green mush that kept coming up in the straw. They were also small, like maybe 8 ounces, mostly ice. It was lame.

Well, the guy says "That’ll be $29" and I wanted to die.

My drink was 14, his was 15. What the hell.

Way too rich for my blood. We found out later that beers were 8 bucks. I’d have had one of those for SURE if I had known!!!! I am acquiring a taste for beer these days. *raises bottle*

Anyway, as we were walking away in a daze after paying 30 bucks for two drinks (it still makes me feel sick that we paid that much, it was cheaper in vegas!) and some jackass pushed by me with his girl and I almost lost it because he seperated me from baboo in this super crowded place and he almost spilled my expensive ass drink!!!!

We got outside and found Baboo’s friends standing near this little wading pool where the DJ was set up. There were these tents with seating areas and it was pretty "hip"… if that’s the word you’d use. I’ve never really been to anything like that, and if we hadn’t spent so much on drinks, I would have probably been in a better mood, cuz it was a fun sorta hectic atmosphere. And while I don’t really feel comfortable in that sort of arena, it was still pretty cool to experience it.

So anyway, baboo and his friends talked for awhile and I slowly drank my drink. There was no way I was buying another one, we didn’t even have enough money! lol. I nursed that thing for about 3 hours. In the end I had a cup with a wedge of lemon and lime and a giant pile of mint mush that I just poked with my straw while holding a napkin over the glass so you couldn’t see it was empty. I wasn’t sure if they’d harrass you if you didn’t have a drink… lol. Baboo went to get a beer which was fine. We sat inside on this little love seat and talked until one of his friends found us and we talked to him some more.

We barely evaded a yucky political conversation about universal healthcare. I bit my tongue, it wasn’t the time or place to try and make a point. lol.

Anyway, it was nearing 1 or so and we were told that they were gathering everyone up and going to head back to the guys house again so people could save money from those horrible drinks. Since Baboo and I had driven so far, we decided we’d just make the most of it and go hang out for a bit. However, after sitting and waiting for them to come back for another half an hour, we decided to head out and meet them there. I mean, it was fun people watching (drunk people are quite entertaining!), but that only stays fun for so long when you can’t get drunk with them!

So anyway, we went back to the car and took the scenic route back to the guys place… and waited there for another half an hour… and they didn’t show up! Baboo called them and they were still lingering, so we decided to just go home.

Whatever. The party thing was sort of a bust, but we got to get out and it was fun just being grown ups for the weekend without any big responsibilities, ya know? It was like getting a taste of what life would be like if we didn’t have kids.

We got home and drank a few beers and once again I think we passed out.

It’s all a blur.

but I must say that Baboo was a great boyfriend for taking me and he was really nice and attentive and put his arm around me so I really felt like we were together. He also told his friend that we had moved in together, which is huge, meaning… we aren’t quite so hush hush in his circle. I like that alot. 🙂

So that was Saturday.

sunday was pretty boring. We laid around, I did laundry, I made some delicious pork chops for dinner andyeah, that’s about it.

Oh yeah, Baboo and I did have some conversations, but I’ll write about those later 🙂
