Monday's in May

Well, it has been quite a gloomy day in small town USA, and my mood seems to match it.  BUT, its Friday!!!! And Friday the 13th at that. You know, I'm not real sure why "Friday the 13th" was chosen as such a superstitious day. I think it should be like "Thursday the 30th"- that would suck real bad if you had a lisp though. What about "Wednesday the 2nd"? Heck, why not the whole month like "Mondays in May" I mean, Mondays are already bad, and May is so rainy around here. But, they don't let me make the calender and for good reason because the weekend would be M-F and S&S would be the week. Dang y'all we are doing it all baassackwards!! ha!  But heck, them Mayans or whoever made that big calender said this is the last year anyway. 


Well, there hasn't been anything profound happen today...not yet anyway! lol. Work has been gettin in the way of all of our lives lately. Last night K and I were gonna go eat at Ants work, and by nothing less than divine intervention, he was walking out the door as we pulled up. He happen to be gettin off work early. Imagine the disappointment if we would've got there and that little shit would've been on his way home. Dinner wouldn't have been nearly as fun without someone to laugh at. So, we all 3 decided to go get greased up and eat at Bell's . It was real good! The dinner conversations were not suitable for dinner or anyone else to hear- as always lol. On a side note about conversations,  I did stumble upon the guys conversing about what they would do if they were girls. And let me tell you, the world better be glad they ain't girls and glad hand sanitizer was invented in pocket size things in case they ever were! But anyway, back to dinner. So, for some reason, we attract attention when we go somewhere. I used to wonder why, then i really started thinking... I could only imagine seeing the three of us out at dinner somewhere. Anthony had a salad as big as his head- y'all know that shit was big- and Kenny's drinkin water faster than the poor girl could fill it up! And as usual, I had so mayo on my food and Kenny was gonna barf at the thought of seeing it....just like a baby. And we tend to make a mess all the time- well, kenny makes a mess of the table and I make a mess of my clothes lol.  And lawd, we NEVER meet a stranger. Come to think of it, that could be what makes us perfect for our jobs. But, we will talk to anyone about anything which can be scary if you aren't fully prepared lol. I'm sure it is a hilarious experience to see us out somewhere! Y'all know Walmart is the worst because every Tom, Dick, And Harry Pete is in there, and Anthony and I forget we are in our 20s. I tend to push him in the buggy and pick up stuff I think I "need" and throw it in there with him. Poor little Kenny. All he wants to do is get groceries and look at huntin stuff. But, maybe everyone will get to see it if they put us on tv one day- I think we would be a great reality show! lol.


Well, its about that time! Hello weekend! It's gonna be a fabulous one- I hope. Im real excited to see First Degree play. We are like honorary members of the band- in our minds. But really more like groupies lol!! Kenny's gonna cook supper and then who knows where the road will lead once we all 3 get together. Lately, we sorta "go with the flow". I guess you could call us all Nemo. Woah, I may be startin a rap! Watch out Usher!! I'm gonna be a start on the rise! HA!  Anyway, I'm sure some exciting, interesting, 'cant help but piss laughin so hard' stories will occur in the coming hours. No worries, you will be filled in....unless we end up behind a set of bars or something cray cray! :/  eek! But, I'd still fill you in on that too 'cause y'all know that would be some funny shit!! lol

Until then, have a wonderful Friday the 13th evening y'all.

The Road Trip is half the fun!

Wow!!! It has seriously been way too long! I have missed filling you in on every detail of our hilarious stories that you can't help but read. It won't be that long again- promise. I'm sure you were wondering if we survived all the birthday dinner/celebrations/ extravaganzas! And we did, barely, but we did. (Madea was FANTASTIC by the way! Hellerrrr!!!)
 So, here is the anticipated and much asked about New Blog!


Well you all (as I was taught to say),WE DID IT (spoken in my best Northern accent which I'm getting good at by the way!) lol. We went to Chicago and managed to stay out of jail and off a slab in the morgue. If you know us well enough, you know it was a small victory for us!!!!  We may have stayed out of the jail and off the slab, but the stripper pole is not something SOME of us stayed off of. I, however, am the only one who didn't take my "Swing of Shame" around the shiny, dirty, crotch-sweat-rubbed-all-over thing. I didn't know the boys had it in them! But, lets go back to the beginning. Oh, and thanks for taking the warning and not trying to jank our stuff while we were gone! :)


Well, of course we all know the road trip is half the fun. For me, it was loads of fun. I didn't drive a single mile the whole way there and I was a "princess in my palace" as Ant called it on the way. In my defense, I didn't get off work til 7, I DID offer to drive, and heck they should've known better when this girl is volunteering to take the back seat on an 8 hour ride. HELLO! But, I had my 3 pillows, satin blanket, phone charger, drink and snacks all in their perfect little place. It was quite a glorious ride for me! lol. Before I knew it, I was in Chicago- ALIVE! Which is also a big deal since Ant drove most of the way. But, importantly, we made it.


Of course sleep was first on my agenda! Then, it was time to celebrate the 4th! Mother nature seriously hates us I think. It was so HOT. It was hotter there than it was at home in the South. blah!! But, we were troopers! We started the day with a swim which was actually nice. We only "horse played" for about 30 minutes! lol. I have to note that Tracy made us a ridiculously good spread for lunch!!! Geez I wish I lived with someone that cooked all the time. ;).  Then, we spent the day at the neighbors with tons of other people. Let me tell you, they know how to throw a block party. We arrived in our matching shirts Anthony has us all get ;/....us and Tracy and Allen. *Please reference the photo* Boy you know were were cute in our Red, White, and Blue matching Old Navy tees (I'm sure you can feel sarcasm dripping..jk ant). I haven't intentionally matched anyone since I was like 5...but we were still complimented. I guess when you got it, you got it! :)  But,  The sunshine was beatin down on us and I was so wishing I had picked the white shirt instead of the red. Ugh!  I was thinking if I was a skinny little thing I would've made Ant trade shirts since Ant made us get the shirts! But y'all don't fear, we definitely found ways to stay hydrated!! :D 
Then, they asked me to "throw bags". At first, I was thinking I was gonna literally take and throw a bag, and I decided I was gonna use a garbage bag and stuff Kenny and Anthony in it if I was gonna throw a bag! Then, I realized it was cornhole. I about pissed my pants. (Michelle made up a song a while back about cornhole and Chicago. I never thought I'd see the song come true in any form until that moment. The three of us almost died laughin.) I was Anthony's partner since Kenny made him a new BFF while we were there named Pete. *Pete gave Kenny a new nickname. First it was King, but princess wouldn't have let that last long- good thing they changed it- then it was Opie. So, Opie stayed on their imaginary "bus" and I lost cornhole for Ant and me. I seriously don't think I scored a point. Then it was time to eat and THENNNNN, if you couldn't have guessed- I really wouldn't have (legit)- they had me a birthday cake and candle!! Woo hooo!!! Birthday cake on the Birthday trip (for those who are just joining, Yes, the guys spoil me). That cake was some fire by the way. Such sweet new friends ;). We started shooting fireworks and and then shooting other stuff and I don't mean a gun cause they ain't legal in Illinois (no "s" sound of course). Then, it was time for the real fireworks. Kenny and I thought they were so pretty! Anthony on the other hand, he ended up going to bed in the middle of them (aka falling on the couch) . Bless it, just a baby :). Kenny wasn't far behind. Yep, I was the trooper :) Whew!!! That was a long day!


Thursday was the "Tourist Day" I called it. We were your typical sight-seeing, picture snappin travelers with our thick Southern twang. It was seriously a beautiful city. The bean was so neat as well as Navy pier. I was excited about seeing Lake Michigan. We saw all kinds of great stuff!  But boy was it HOTTTTT! There ain't much shade up there and the heat index was 107. I don't want out of my house if I can help it at 100, much less walk around outside if its 107!! And Kenny, well he just KNEW he had walked 10 miles! He stayed about a mile behind us the whole time lol- bless it, just a baby as well. He said that he was skipping walking at night when we got home for 3 weeks since he walked so much that day. ha! I sure wish someone could've followed us with a camera because I'm pretty sure it was like "My big redneck visit to the City"!! Kenny's camo had did make an appearance y'all! I thoroughly enjoyed it. That night, we had dinner and "threw bags" again. Them folks are real good at that! I did a little better this time. Not good enough for them to let me play more than one game lol. Kenny and Ant did pretty good though. I worked on my tan lol. Then it was time to relax.


Friday was the hot dog day. We went and ate a FABULOUS hot dog! Then, we went to a candy store in Indiana. Oh my....like I needed to be in a candy store. Anthony and I went candy crazy- poor Kenny...we are a handful! lol. Then we had to get ready for dinner. We went to this verrrrry nice restaurant, "The Lighthouse", which was seriously gorgeous and their food was amazing! We couldn't go without laughing at the "special" attention Ant's drinks were getting. His beer was never even halfway empty ;). The BEST part was when Kenny asked the server for Country Bobs!!! Lawd, he looked at Kenny like he was crazy! This is like a 5 star restaurant in Chicago and Kenny's gonna ask for some Country Bobs! Whew, the 3 of us almost didn't recover from that laugh. We were all seriously pissin. It was great! That really would've been a great moment to record! haha I'm laughing just thinking about. Then it was karaoke time!!! Well, the karaoke guy ended up not being able to make it which was such a disappointment after some of us had the bartender thinking Ant was on a terrible blind date. But, time for plan B. We went to another bar that was suppose to have karaoke. They had a dj instead, and becuase they told us wrong, we got free shots! I should've known that was a bad sign.....actually the stripper pole should've been the first sign. lol. But we were having a great time! Our big group was about the only people there....good thing! We didn't really need karaoke or microphones as loud as we were singing! And of course we were dancin!...GET IT!... Then someone tried to take my cowboy's (my husband) hat and I thought I was gonna have to rope her like a pig (I have been to Texas a time or two!). But I took it off her head and didn't hear from her again. And out of no where, "Easy A" came alive! Thats Anthony's stripper name. That kid had moves we didn't even know he knew about. He was so good, someone asked me if he does it every weekend. Then, Kenny wanted his "not so graceful" turn- the arrival of "BK"- Kenny's stripper name. As Anthony was swinging to the bottom and fell on his butt in a graceful manner, Kenny came and was swinging around the top and in a not so graceful moment, fell on Anthony!! It was seriously priceless!! Easy A ended up with a few stalkers and one poor older woman was stalking both the guys! I couldn't do anything but laugh!!!! She was in a red shirt, denim shorts with a visor on and when she smiled, she could've fit a sign in there that said "Next tooth one mile"!!!! She would chase little Anthony all around that pole and run behind Kenny. Anthony swung around the pole and knocked her flat on her rear on accident one time! Bitch should've moved! lol. But, she still jumped up and ran circles around him like a dog in heat as he was swinging around the pole. I didn't have the heart to tell her one was married and one was gay. She even had her money out! I will inform you, Easy A did make some dollars! Holla for a dolla!!!!! Tracy and Allen as well as the rest of our new friends were a HOOT!!!! Poor Allen drove us home while Kenny was cryin because he had to pee and Tracy was seeing fireworks!!! I almost felt bad for the McDonald's worker until I thought about poor Allen, and then I did feel sorry.  Ahhh, it was for sure a good time! 


After rolling in at 3 something that morning. Sleep was on my agenda once again. We decided we needed a more relaxing pace to the day. So, it was ice cream and movie time!!! We finally got to watch TED, and that was hilarious! I realized I needed a thunder buddy! hehe. Then we went to a brewery which was pretty cool. They guys ordered some nasssssty beer. vomit!!! Then, it was home for supper and some cornhole. By this time, my brain felt all bassakwards! It was cold outside!!!! I was in need of a dang blanket. Cray cray! They played for a while (Hell I didn't even try this time lol) Then we wanted to watch step brothers. Princess Anthony chose to stay on his throne and let Kenny and I find the movie store. Well, let me tell you that the store was maybe 3 minutes away IF THAT. We drove around the damn subdivision for 20 trying to figure out how the hell to get out!!!!! LOL  But, we eventually made it there and of course got lost coming back...in the subdivision, but we made it. And we actually remembered the movie lol. Such a good, quality movie. No really, I do like that movie a lot! Everyone fell asleep but me and Ant- troopers. :)


Then it was Sunday- home day :(. But we were stopping at Lambert's so that made it a little better. The road trip home was a good time! You would think 3 people who lived together, have been best friends this long, and spent this much time together would run out of new thing to talk about....boy is that wrong!!! Those were some priceless conversation to Lambert's. We finally made it there, and waited out hour and 45 mins to catch some rolls! I actaully caught one!!  :D Our food was great and then it was time to travel on...homeward bound. They decided princess should drive. That wasn't the best idea, and I wasn't happy about it....but I did it! And we made it home safe!!!!!  It was a wonderful trip!!!!!


Well, today is Thursday, but you haven't missed too much other stuff. All 3 of us have been working mostly. Anthony started his job- which is going great! and K and I have been working away. We finally got to see our long lost friends for dinner, Becky and Micah, on Tuesday! *Reunited and it feels so good* was playing in the background haha! We caught up on our tv shows, PLL, Pawn Stars, etc. Last night was probably one of the funniest moments we have had since we have been home. Kenny, Ant and I sat around talking for a while. Then, Anthony discovered "flippy floppy" and I discovered "wandering warrior". We literally pissed laughing so hard! The boys both had to be up at 5 this am, and princess made an unsuccessful attempt to sleep. But, of course I fell asleep right before the damn alarm clock woke me up. I'm beginning to realize why shouldn't put a song as the alarm on your phone. I realize I hate them 10x faster that way!!! But I guess the guys got the early bird worms, and I got some sleep! Works for me!!! :)


WHEWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!
That should bring everything up to speed, hopefully!!! This no doubt a shortened recap of our last week or so. It has been great!! It won't be this long again in length or time that we post. 
Hang on tight because it feels like we are traveling at twice the speed of life!!!!!


Until next time-

The day after tomorrow!

Wow! It has been cray-cray around here lately! We have been so busy, there hasn't been time to update....not that I'm complaining. SO, let me bring y'all current.


It was my (if you haven't noticied by the pink, its "the girl" blogging!) birthday Saturday! As I told you before, I was having trouble with the whole 25 thing. So, my special friends went into action mode- esp my hubby and my Beef!! We partied Wednesday night, I had 2 parties on Thursday, one Friday night with an after party, one Saturday night with another after party, another today....and then one more! Whew! 


Wednesday night was the night we ate Mexican for the "going out of town dinner" that turned into a surprise birthday party. Yep, the night Ant had them shove whipped cream on a freakin huge plate in my face AFTER he did it first with his spoon. I'm still telling myself its because I'm very loved. Please note here that I had whipped cream up my nose and its nasty when the inside of your nose is sticky and you try to blow it...TMI yeah I know ha. But, I was happy to celebrate my birthday with Becky and Micah before they left- Love them!! *Special thanks to Micah for the cake and balloons!!   (jk Beef, I know you did it. Thank you!)


Thursday, my sweet little coworkers had me a birthday party- we had lunch and some cupcakes that were lemon ice box and hot fudge- complete with nuts. They was some fire!! Brooke that made them jokers can bake! Get it girl! And they got me a facial which will be coming to me this week. Excited!! Sweet husband had flowers delivered to me at work- yep, they were daisises!!! He knows how to win! Then, Thursday night was the family/close friends dinner. I am SO thankful for my peeps that came to celebrate my birthday. And to Ant again- THANK YOU!!!!- I know he is the one who organized the event because there were decotaions- pictures, balloons, a birthday table cloth, all complete with a cookie cake that matched the balloons. No straight man could've done that- well not my husband anyway. I had a blast! I got good presents too!! :D Thanks y'all! Our server was badass that night too...just sayin- bless little Allison's heart. :) Dinner was overall great! Then, we delivered cookie cake to beef's fam. I just love them!!! I feel like they're my own- after all these years they kinda are! lol


Then came Friday!! The hubby worked hard aaaaaalllll day long! Beef and I went swimming in the 12291 degree weather!!!(Really mother nature! Is all this necessary??) Yes, I put on sunscreen. No, we didnt burn lol. We had tons of fun! Then, it was time for beef to work. So, I dropped him off, came home and took a nap, then it was time for another birthday dinner! This one was my fave because it was the hubby and me :). We had good food, decent servive (JK), and decided to go out. Midnight bowling with the friends it was! We decided to go to south. SO glad Allison came :). Well, as luck would have it, we came up on a Mississippi roadblock. Thats the first roadblock I have ever been in. Good thing we were being prefect angels and passed :). We all bowled pretty well surprisingly. I beat Kenny once- my own personal mission! Congrats to Beef for kicking ass and winning both games. And props to Allison for bowling a turkey in the 10th frame!!! Get it girl!!!!! We went to eat, where I was serenaded "happy birthday" by my fave band- 1st degree. 


Then came Saturday- my actual birth date!! The day started off with 23823 fb notifications, phone calls, tweets, and texts- All of which I am thankful for!!! They made my day! The 3 amigos went swimming- no burning again! :) - where Kenny showed off his "washboard abs" then got sung by a wasp. karma isn't nice to liars....jk I know it hurt boo :(  . Ant went to work (his last Saturday there before his new job!! SO proud of you Mr. Manager!!!!!!!) and Kenny and I fell asleep- again. Something about the sun and water that makes you sleepy! After a long nap, we got up and went to another Birthday dinner- this made dinner #5 lol. This time with my parents. After dinner, was time for THE celebration!! This time we went north!!!! After Clay finally got here, we met friends up there  and the party was started!! I ended up in the Coors Light cowboy hat! I had SOOOO much fun!!!!!!!!!!! We went to Perkins to eat, and along the way, we stopped and chatted with the police on the side of the road with these pretty blue lights about our lights not being on (2 for 2 now!). Our favorite 3am-at-perkins-server and her crew sang me happy birthday!! Then we were finally on our way home! Special thanks to the husband for taking care of me and the beef for driving!!! Love yall!!!




Which should bring us to today. The husband and I are relaxing watching Men in Black while the beef is working his last shift before the new job. There is a birthday dinner today with just the guys and possible magic mike and madea lol! Then, one more dinner after this one!! 


SO, people have been asking what I got for my birthday from the husband and the Beef. Well, THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, WE ARE LEAVING FOR CHICAGO FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!!! I'm riducuously excited if you can't tell. I am a traveler and Chicago is on my "bucket list of big cities". I am SO thankful to them for making it happen. And lets address this again, yes, I know I am spoiled. :)  *****Also, this will be a public service announcement- We do have a house sitter while we are gone so don't be thinking about doing nothing cray cray like jankin our shit while we are gone!!! Ok, I felt the need to say that with all these crazos roamin the earth these days...you know, they ruin it for the sane people SMH***** I have been informed by my friends that they would like me to bring them a pizza home from Chicago. Lets think about this, do you REALLY think we are gonna make it 8 hours in the car with your pizza without eatin it? HELLO! lol. But I'll see what I can do! I cant wait!!


I have to say a very special THANK YOU! to my guys! Kenny and Anthony have went above and beyond to make this Birthday the best ever! Turning 25 was made much better! I am SO blessed! Love y'all!!


Apologies for the length today, but it was the short version of the last 4ish days! ha!
I hope everyone has a fabulous day!!! Time to get ready for another celebration!! :)
