it was an interesting friday night.
i have been feeling a little under the weather all week. whether it is from the lack of recent sleep (as i have been getting bizarre nightmares since the passing of my son, braden), or perhaps i just happened to catch something viral... my stomach has not been feeling quite right.
after friendly's, i was excited because everything i ate... stayed in my stomach. i was thinking that perhaps my stomach issue had passed... that is, until i was invited to dinner at my favorite sister-in-law's (janine).
now, i suck at hanging out with my favorite sister-in-law. interestingly enough, janine has not been feeling well either. she has been battling similar stomach issues, leading me to think that this stomach issue is something viral as opposed to psycho-somatic. if the stomach issue is viral, then i blame karen's uncle (billy) who came up from georgia for braden's service. never trust southerners... just kidding.
anyway, since janine and i were having similar digestive problems... we decided (for some reason) to have tacos for dinner. you can probably imagine where this is going to lead...
in all fairness, the dinner was very delicious. thinking that i was somewhat on the mends after my friendly's experience, i was eating a soft taco there... a soft taco here. i had some corn... yum corn! and to top it off, i had a drink or two with some coconut rum. (for anyone curious, some people believe coconut is a laxative.)
needless to say, i may have been testing the boundaries of my stomach... i ended up frequenting janine's bathroom. digestive issues aside, the night was actually quite fun.
janine was having internet connectivity issues on her computer. after fixing janine's computer (because... that is apparently my role... computer stuff), all of us just started having a blast by watching youtube videos on the internet. my friends (jen and bill) also stopped by as they were in the neighborhood after doing some shopping at the mall.
all of us were just laughing and dying (me from my digestive issues of course) over the old commercials of toys we had growing up and of the old cartoons we used to watch growing up. i have no idea how people get a hold of those videos to upload to youtube... but you gotta love youtube...

I Suck At Hanging Out With My Favorite Sister-In-Law
on friday, the company i work at had it's quarterly departmental meeting. it was quite the interesting meeting because... well... our department basically played wii bowling for the entire meeting. it was a team bonding exercise... and it was a blast. for anyone curious, i am awful at wii bowling... but i'm pretty sure i'd still beat my friend (hot amy) should she challenge me in the game. after all, i whupped her butt playing real bowling... and i whupped her sister's butt too.
anyway, after work... karen and i were invited to hang out with my favorite sister-in-law (janine). now, i suck at hanging out with my favorite sister-in-law. apparently, there was a plan concocted by my favorite brother-in-law (pj) to have a little table tennis competition with the four of us and my friends (jen and bill). you would think that with my genetics, i would be fairly decent table tennis player. sadly, that is not the case. in fact, hot amy would probably stand a good shot at beating me in table tennis... if only she were not genetically predispositioned to lose at everything.
(pictured below is my favorite sister-in-law and bill.)
well, luckily, i did not have the opportunity to display my table tennis prowess. instead, all of us simply got to hang around and have some fun. well... i would probably say everyone except for janine. she seemed a little stressed and in dire need of some alcohol. i think the fact that pj had been drinking since 2pm did not help matters much for her either. (and you thought i had a good time at work with my wii bowling.)
all in all, it was fun to hang out. bill and pj bonded over... of all things... the wii... and shooting cans with a bb gun (long story). as usual, i had the pleasure of hanging with the women... very fun... i should do that more often.

I Suck At Hanging Out With My Favorite Sister-In-Law
my bff (kerry) spent last night at my place.
when kerry left for the day to go to her nephew's birthday party, i figured i'd start my man weekend. so, i started playing around with my trusty table saw and some pieces of wood. at one point, i actually had saw dust all up my arms and all over my clothes. what can i say... i like wood. (insert the "that's what she said" line... just kidding.)
after cutting the pieces of wood, applying pre-conditioner to them, and then finally staining the multiple pieces of wood, i received a call from my favorite sister-in-law (janine). i suck at hanging out with my favorite sister-in-law. janine and my brother-in-law (pj) invited me over to their place for some margarita fun.
apparently, my friend (bill) who happens to be the brother of my other friend (jen), was stopping by their place to talk about the kid marketing machine known as disney. janine and pj are going to disney this year with their children, so they wanted to ask bill about certain disney related items because bill is a frequenter of the kid marketing machine known as disney.
anyway, bill brought with him the ever popular margarita machine that belongs to his sister. might i add, the margarita machine... is huge... not that size matters of course. i imagine storing the margarita machine would be a little difficult if you didn't have the counter space in your kitchen. luckily, the yummy goodness that flows from its veins is enough to mask the size of the machine. okay, i did partake a little in the yummy goodness. it's tough to resist when the tequila calls out your name. (the fact that i refer to margaritas as "yummy goodness" may also be proof that i do indeed have a drinking problem.)
as an interesting side note... someday, i want to have a tequila shot with the worm... and eat the worm after the shot. my original plan was to go to tijuana, mexico for authentic wormage... knowing my luck and my penchant for all things fermented, i probably would end up face down in a mexican gutter... dead... with a mariachi band playing over me... so it's probably not a good idea.
needless to say, all of us hung out tonight imbibing from the veins of the margarita machine. it was actually quite fun (and no, it's not the booze talking).
