Weekend Recap!

This past weekend started with some very bad (yet ever so fun) decisions that I made while I was home visiting my parents on Friday night. The bad decisions continued as I welcomed Melinda, Josh and Adam (better known as the BFF-In-Law and BFF) into our apartment for Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

With Brett out of town we were left to our own devices and found ourselves drunk and disorderly pretty much the entire weekend. Saturday, upon their arrival, we went to the 7-11 to find something good to drink. My absolute favorite part of the weekend was when Adam grabbed a 12 pack of Miller and started to go up to the check-out counter…in classic Melinda form we hear a “only 12?” made with a face that I could not even begin to describe, but if you know the fabulous Melinda you know what I am talking about. Adam went straight back to the freezer and picked up another 12 pack. Thank the lord we have Mel around because the 4 of us finished the 24 bottles of Miller and then some that night before we went out!

Our night took us around to a couple of places, but we were pretty tired. So we hit Johnny O’blahblahblahs (both Brett and Jeff just yelled at me there), the Blarney Stone and Moxie. Mel and I were pretty exhausted so we headed home while the boys met up with some friends at the Blarney Stone and ended up rolling in a little later in the evening.

The next day was filled with fun as we ventured out into the day looking for apartments for the BFF and the BFF-in-Law. The disgusting heat was enough to kill a small donkey and the shopping/apt. hunting extravaganza was hindered by the sweat dripping off our bodies. Melinda and I came prepared with a jug of mimosas. We so elegantly said “these bitches are the ones looking for apartments, we can be drrrunk!” And we tee-tottered around until it was time for the CUBS GAME!! At 3pm we headed over to Sluggers to meet up with Frank and Jeff for a little Cubs action. A few extra tall Old Styles and a trip to the Full Shilling later, we headed over to WRIGLEY to watch the Cubs lose a game to the Mets. (or watch the guy in the England shirt look really amazingly hot all afternoon)

As you might imagine the beers were flowing and we found ourselves BACK at the Shilling where we all proceeded to get incredibly intoxicated and wild at 7pm on a Sunday afternoon. As Adam, Melinda and I were all taking the day off the next day, it took us about 7.2 seconds to convince Frank that he too should call in and have Monday off…we could not convince the hard working Jeff, but he managed to have just as much fun, we think. We parted ways with Mr. “I have to work in the morning” Jeff and moved back to our house to meet up with a sober Brett and Ben. Unforch, the night pretty much stops there for Melinda and I as we were so drunk that passing out was an almost immediate need. I do remember another 12 pack and some “Circle of Death”, but as the boys went out in boystown to celebrate the Gay Games Mel and I decided that there wasn’t a gay boy in sight that could drag us away from the apartment.

There isn’t much to say about Monday other then THE BFF AND THE BFF-IN-LAW found an APARTMENT really close to us and move in on Aug. 1st AND the BFF-in-Law FOUND A JOB!! (Plug for Joshua who is an amazing stylist…he will begin working on Aug. 1st in Chicago so if you need a change-and want it to look great-let me know) We pretty much were all hung-over and tired. After the Champaign 3-some packed up and left, Brett and I lounged around the house avoiding cleaning like the plague and watch TV all afternoon.

The weekend was a success and quite fun…so that is my little update.
