Spice up the Night

This weekend was one of the best that I've had in quite awhile. Julie and Jessica came up to visit, and it's just nice to be around people that you feel completely comfortable with (not that I don't with all of my friends, it's just not quite the same). In general it just seems that we always have a blast together whether it's in the "big city" or in a rural town - and I always love to see what brilliant scheme/story Jess will come up with. This weekends' was more tame than most, but entertaining all the same. It was also nice to see how well they fit in with my friends here, including my new roommate which I think may have inspired me to cut her a little more slack (however, she really needs to start being neater or I might flip out).

The only downside of the weekend came Friday night. Friday night Nikki and I went over to Kate's to grill for awhile and then head to a bar. I realized the quick grill plans for the night had changed when Kate began cutting jalepenos. Nevertheless, the three of us had a nice time chatting and drinking. After awhie Kate asked that I help b/c the peppers were getting to her. Note to self: if they're bothering someone else, perhaps you should think twice about helping. Well, the jalepenos were a little tingly on the fingers, but nothing too serious. Then, I accidently touched my mouth and it stung a little more, but, again, nothing to cry over. However, later that night when I took my contacts out, there was something to cry about. Apparently 5 hours and 10 handwashes later, there is still juice left on your fingers. My eyes burned and my contacts (a brand new pair - my last pair) are completely ruined. I'm still waiting on a new pair to arrive. I suppose if I ever cut jalepenos again, I'll remember to wear gloves!
