I Suck At Tree Trimming

on saturday night, my friends (marc and kelley) were having a tree trimming. too bad i suck at tree trimming. for awhile, marc and kelley have been having an annual tree trimming where everyone would get together and decorate the tree... and just have fun.

sadly, this year i did not get to use any power tools on marc and kelley's tree. i had my trusty circular saw ready to cut the bottom of the tree. unfortunately, the circular saw was not needed this year. in years past, i made the mistake of using a handsaw on the tree. using a handsaw took too much effort... plus... when you get the sticky tree sap all over your hands... it gets frustrating. i think we ended up destroying the handsaw that year because the tree was just too hard to cut.

anyway, i had a good time at the tree trimming. karen made a chocolate pecan pie just for the event. although i did not have any of the pie, i heard it was quite delicious. lucky for me, i still have the bottle of bourbon used to create the pie... so i'll drink that instead.

although, maybe i should lay off the booze for awhile. (booze is my friend... and as i sometimes say... it numbs the pain.) apparently, kelley is quite the bartender... as all of the vodka was used up that night to make martinis. i don't know how many martinis were made, but i think it was a lot. i may have partaken in the martini drinking as well... because i vaguely remember the tree trimming night.

i do, however, remember my friends (adam and alex) stopping by. adam (sometimes known as "atom") and alex are the brothers of my friend (scott) who lives in new york. scott also seems to have a penchant for finding karen and me while at marc and kelley's a lot. apparently, i told adam and alex about my scotch incident... which is rather ironic since i don't remember that fateful scotch night... in fact, i don't even remember telling adam and alex about my fateful scotch night. i only heard about it through karen.

anyway, it is times like that which i sometimes think that i should probably give up alcohol. after all, my memory is bad enough... so i probably should try to keep any remaining brain cells that i have left and not have alcohol kill them off. i don't know. we'll see...
