THURSDAY : HAPPY HOUR AT THE MEXICAN BAR & DOWNTOWN BAR HOPPING
So Superstar got in on Thursday and we did what we always do when we get together - shop and get a pedicure! It was fun to sit and laugh and get updated by the rest of the Girls on life's happenings. As much as I enjoyed being in "the loop" being a little out of it makes me feel grown up. At least now I can be detached from all the drama and etc. and still get a good laugh. So once we finally finished up at the nail shop we meet Color Struck, A Poor Black Girl From Mississippi, Glamor Girl, and Dance Girl at the Mexican Bar on the Strip for food (obviously Mexican) and MARGARITAS!! Now, this place clearly uses Jose Cuervo liberally in these drinks, so by the second one we were all quite jovial. And then the ABC boys (alcohol authority for those not from my state) came in the check IDs. Praise Moses we're all of age (cause lord knows we did much of our underage drinking there) but flirting with the ABC boys was unnecessary. We invited them to have a drink and everything. They all turned red as an apple and left without so much as saying goodnight. We were however, able to get some drunk guys clad in camo, boots, wranglers, and tees to pay for us. Hunter (my donor) is going to be my new boyfriend so I can use my graduate degree in progress to help him with the construction/contracting company he's going to inherit from pops when he graduates next may. We took lots of pictures and went downtown to more bars. But we're all getting old so we had to call it a night early...
FRIDAY: LUNCH AT HOKKAIDO, DINNER AT RED LOBSTER, PICTURES, & MORE BARS
Being back home made me remember one thing that wasn't so important in the Big City this summer --- HEELS!! Getting dressed to even just go to lunch with The Girls meant pulling out a pair of stilettos from my closet full of neglected shoes. But oh how I LOVE shoes...its nearing an addiction...oh wait, that's not what I'm supposed to be talking about. Well lunch at our fav Japanese steak house was great. then we just sat around laughing and talking. Gracie made the cutest pictorial slide shows for all the grads so no one forgets all the memories we've had over the last few years. We laughed and all got teary eyed and then went to Red Lobster for dinner and....MORE DRINKS! So Red Lobster has this huge drink called a Lobsterita that BFF HAD to have, and she was quite buzzed before we even got the bread!! It was great...except that Undercover ended up being our server and it was a little bit weird. But tequila + wine = unending happiness so all was well. After the restaurant we went home and got dressed (yes, we change clothes 50 times a day) to go downtown again. We went to this little bar and enjoyed double shots and sex on the beach and I met a cute guy who's about to graduate from my program and offered his outlines and books (which very well may save my life and wallet in the coming months). We had fun but again since most of us have graduated or were about to and are used to getting up early for work...around 1am we were all getting s-l-e-e-p-y. So I gave my new Tutor my number and we went h-o-m-e. Besides, it would totally suck to oversleep and be late to graduation ---especially for the 2 actually graduating!
SATURDAY : GRADUATION, LUNCH AT O'CHARLEYS, LEFT-OVERS, & PARTY CRASHING
So clearly we operate on PG time....that is - Pretty Girl time. As in, it takes us FOREVER to get everyone dressed and ready b/c we all have to find and put on a cute dress, the right shoes, make-up, jewelry, perfume, and do it using 3 apartments between 20 women...yea...we got to graduation about 9:10am instead of 9. But 10 minutes is EXTREMELY good for us as far as time goes. We took TONS of pics, sang, cried, and went out to eat again after graduation (I'm surprised we all didn't gain 30lbs). Then we had a break for a nap and shopping. We finally ate some restaurant left overs for dinner after shopping instead of going out again - but more so so we'd have enough time to get dressed for the party. NBA player Robert Horry (silent 'H') had a party for his wife (cause she just got her master's) and we sort of crashed the party.
We were told we were all put on the list and were more than welcome to come, but I don't think they exactly expected so many of us to be there. So we all come decked out in club gear (Read: short dresses, stilettos, shorts, fitted attire, cleavage, and curves) and realize we're all probably 10 years younger than everyone else in attendance. But you make the best of it. We went to the bar, got lots of white wine and hit the dance floor. We clearly made her party the best party ever --- unfortunately we had no idea who his wife was until the end of the party. But she was nice and took lots of pictures with us and made us feel welcome (which was nice cause if anyone had crashed OUR party like that we probably would've acted an ass). But we behaved by NOT flirting with any of the men or being obnoxious (at least i think so). So after we drank lots of wine and danced for all the old people we went to....you guessed it....another party with more drinks! We went to this mansion downtown for a graduation party (actually hosted by a guy we know who is our age!) and I ran into my new Tutor! Unfortunately, he felt the need to cling a little too close and remind me he was going to take care of me over the next 3 years --- did I just get a new fiance??? But he did like my new dress!! (shout out to Express) Open bar + us = fun fun fun. One of my friends may have been hallucinating when we left though....Then we went to the Que house for a brief set --- and one of my friends went missing and we had to call it a night around 4 to go find her (long story)...
SUNDAY : WE FINALLY SLEEP AND TEARY GOODBYES
We slept in late (we had planned on going to church but that doesn't really work if you don't wake up until 11), ate a little bit, and saw all our travelers off. I don't even like to cry in front of people but I swear we were all sobbing....this was the last time we'd all be together like this for a long time....but stay tuned b/c we're planning a May reunion trip to VEGAS!!!!! And we always get into the best trouble when we travel.... ;-)
