Life in the Petri Dish

So last weekend was a lot of fun. Friday was spent resting and staying in. We got some cleaning done but mostly just sat around. I got a call from Tommy from CT at about 9 and spent 2 hours talking to him. It was nice to catch up and talk to an old friend. By the time I got off the phone with him I was tired and ready for bed. Woke up Saturday and completed the days chores. I was not successful in finding a crappy red bra for my costume. Lame. I might try Ross or Target if I have time. May have to wait till CO.

Got ready in a super skanky outfit (I'll post pics later) complete with lots of cleavage, black knee high boots, skirt, sable fishnets - it was awesome. I was all boob. We had a great time though, Angela and her friends rented out a whole bar for the occasion. They had good food, more bistro than bar. We had fresh cheese and wine and risotto w/ fresh roasted veggies. I think I drank my weight in champagne and chambord, good drink but I felt it on Sunday! After the bar we all headed back to our place for hot tub fun. I'm not sure what happened but the hot tub started getting colder and colder - we have no idea why. By about 5 am and 92 degrees it was time to get out and call it night. I was extremely pleased to go to bed before the sun came up, no small feat with this group. Good times though. I almost passed out for the night after we all got home but they convinced me to get up and I agreed on the condition that I could wear my fuzzy, purple robe. Whatever.

Needless to say Sunday was spent on the couch wishing I could die and wondering if I really was dying. I will say that I looked totally cute though because I used this stuff called Final Seal by Ben Nye and it keeps your make up from running or getting smeared and it works!! Through the bar, sweating, the hot tub, sleeping, everything - my make up did not change. This pic was taken half way through Sunday:


Anyway - the weekend was good. I'm getting excited for Colorado. We have a lot of fun stuff in store - Casa Bonita, all my favorite restaurants, Colorado Springs, Cave of the Winds, not to mention seeing some of my favorite people in the world (Sarah and Max to name a few)!! I'm excited to be back home and see my friends and just be home, even if only for a few. I'm really excited to show my new Seattle friends off to my old friends and show them all my old digs. It's almost all I can think about. In fact I'm going to make a packing list right now.

But first - check out this picture of me taken 13 years ago - in November of 1994. I was 14. Look at those horrible eyebrows, crazy lipstick, horrible dye job (courtesy of a box I'm sure) and hair cut. What a dork I was!
