Memorial Day Weekend

As I mentioned on my last post, the past several weeks have had no shortage of good stories. Actually, that's probably why I haven'’t written: I was actually pretty busy. But, I'’ll forget about the past ones, and just mention the highlights from this weekend. Actually, I'’m just going to do a shortened version b/c I'’m in a hurry (which I might explain at a later time) and I don'’t want to offend anyone, including myself.

Friday night, we all went over to my Aunt'’s to pre-drink since I was house sitting. After that, we all went out to the bars. The night ended up being pretty fun, especially considering how tired I was.

Saturday, Hillary, Nikki & I decided to go boating with Chris (a boy that Nikki and I know from camp last year) and his family. Towards the end of the day, we went to the TRN club where most boaters were playing a poker type tournament (you drew 5 cards at random & the 10 best hands won money). We ran into Jeff Wood (Mandy Shutt's ex boyfirend) and he had me draw part of his hands. Turns out I won him $100 w/ the three aces I drew. After that we went back on the boat, and Chris threw me in the water, along w/ my ISUFU shirt, my shorts, a chair, and a radio. All we got back were the shorts (I really wish I could replace the shirt bc it was one of my favorites). Anyways, us three girls eventually decided to go out for the night. In the process though, Hill lost my wallet and we had to argue w/ these Asian people to try and get it back. Unfortunately, we failed and I now have to replace everything, which basically sucks.

Sunday, i had dinner w/ my family. Then my Uncle Steve and his partner, Marc, went gambling w/ me at harrahs. Dow and Britt met us there, and eventually Britt's new boy, Kevin, met us as well. I seemed to be the biggest loser and Britt managed to win quite a lot. Dow and i went to dinner around 11 w/ my uncles (which i think he would agree was an interesting situation) in the Vodoo Lounge, which also had a club like dance floor in it. as soon as we walked in, Dow stated confidently that we would be out there later. By the time we were leaving, Britt & Kevin had decided to go to the Vodoo Lounge for some cocktails. So, Dow & I joined them and my Uncles went home. A few drinks later, Dow & I became 2 of 4 people dancing (fyi, it is really hard to dance when an entire restaurantt is watching you- but this of cours never fazeses Dow). by the time we left, basically all the other bars were closed.

Today, Dow, Evan, Kayla, & I went to the Zoo. then i drove home in the horrible Memorial Day Traffic. i don't recommend it. All in all, a very nice weekend.
