"It's just another manic Monday..."
Can I just say, what a damn fantastic weekend I had?!?! Well, I guess I can say, since it's my blog and all...
This past weekend was wonderful and crazy busy. It also had its highs and some lows. Let's start at the beginning, shall we?
When I left you all on Wednesday, I was in a lovey dovey mood that was more than slightly sickly sweet. Don't worry, I'm not like that all of the time, the boyfriend and I have our fair share of regular, boring, everyday kind of life too.
Thursday was spent at the daily grind and taking care of the boyfriend. I don't want to go into details here because, well, it's his life and his business. Apparently, y'all, I do have some boundaries.
Friday was back to the daily grind and well, I let my emotions run away with me and spent most of the day in a fog. As my grandmother would say, I'm a worry-wort. Friday night started a double header for the band. A happy point, they were playing at Miss B's parents' bar so I got to see her in action. (She doubles as a bartender there on Friday nights, she's amazing!) Now I know how that girl stays in shape, she runs her booty off at work! And does it all while looking stellar, I might add. How is it I wind up with gorgeous friends? Anywho, besides the band, I did have some entertainment to try to keep me out of a funk.
Now, before I tell you all about the pornographic dancers, I feel I must first explain that the band has become kind of a big deal locally. They have quite a following on Facebook and most of those fans come out and see them on a regular basis. (Not to mention all of us girlfriends tagging along...) And so, if you're with them at nearly every show (like I am...) you start to see some of the same faces weekend after weekend. So this was not my first exposure to the pornographic dancers...
Before you all jump me about being a prude, I would like to show you this:
I'm all for a little dirty dancing. And we know that as the night darkens and the drinks have been flowing for a few hours, the dancing can get a little more like foreplay. However, this couple takes the cake. Let's see if I can point out the main issues that bothered me...
*The chick appears to be young enough to be his daughter. Which makes the rest of this more than a little creepy.
*The guy does more pelvic thrusts than Michael Jackson.
*The guys smacks and grabs his OWN ass while "dancing".
*They both act like they're the hottest thing since melted butter while most of the people watching are trying not to lose their liquor.
Saturday was a crazy day. You may recall that it was our anniversary? Yes, well since the boyfriend has been under tremendous stress lately (what with my being sick forever and all of the other day to day B.S.) I decided to surprise him with a little party at Saturday night's gig. In his words, I'm a sneaky lady! So I dropped him off at work after his lunch break and went out to find me the perfect outfit. I picked up the cake I had ordered and dropped it off at the bar with Miss B and then whirled back to pick him up from work. His first surprise of the night? His non-girly girlfriend was wearing a new jean skirt. And then we get to the gig and Miss J and her man surprise both of us with a divine bottle of vino. And THEN Miss B brings out his cake. Wal-mart really came through for me, folks. 24 cupcakes, half chocolate and half white cake, put together to look like a sheet cake with our picture on top. It was beautimous. AND THEN, the clincher. The lead singer and the other guitar player (Miss J's man) sang our song for us and we had a little dance. I have to say gang, I'm pretty proud of myself. But no, I could never have pulled it all off without the help of FANTASTIC friends. The boyfriend was duly surprised and we had a wonderful night.
Sunday was our day to spend together without any craziness. So I let him sleep in a bit and made triple berry pancakes and sausage for breakfast. Then we had a snuggle and watched some football before heading out for a drive. (Before you make some wise crack about Sunday afternoon drivers, remember, this is a special day!) And apparently, I'm not the only one who can pull out the surprises! He took me on a ferry!! I've never been on one before (partially because the whole floating bridge-like effect brings on the panic attacks...) and I was more than a little nervous. But it was AMAZING! I feel like I've quasi conquered a fear. (For those who may not be aware, I have a crazy, more often than not, debilitating fear of bridges. I'll tell you all about it some other time...)
And alas, here we are on Monday with loads of work ahead of me and loads of laundry rotating as we speak. Can we say productive? Why yes, yes we can!
I hope you all had a fantastic weekend as well. And if you're bored today, take a peek at RandomMeows on Facebook. I'm global, y'all!
Until next time...Toodles!!
