God's special children.

What a long, exhausting weekend.

On Saturday I went and made groceries and then came back here and dicked around until it was time to get ready to go to Tee and Monica's shower. Had to stop at the Walmart in Luling to get something else for them, then went to Mom's to waste some time but she wasn't there, then went over to T&M's. It was cool, lovely baby shower (the kiddo is still in the NICU, which sucks, but he's doing okay) and it was nice to see Tee's family again. Angie showed up (she made the cake, it was beautiful AND rainbow colored inside, of course) and we watched Monica open presents and hung out for a little more and then I said goodbye cause I had a bitch of a headache.

Scott and I woke up early on Sunday morning and went to Ochsner Fitness in Elmwood. I didn't realize it had been so long since I had been there-over three years. I definitely missed it. We swam and hung out in the hot tub until about 11ish, then got dressed and got on the road to go get Bryan from DA. We were hungry, so we decided to go to Spahrs. I got a roast beef poboy (which I have to finish tonight) and some shrimp that were coated in some spicy sauce (it was confusing, I don't know if they were trying to imitate bang bang but yuck) and then we stopped in Boutte to get Bryan some coffee and it turns out that the old Datsas (the one they turned into a church and where Scott got free food after the hurricane) was giving out more free food, so we stopped there and let Bryan go to town on that shit. Went to Walmart in Kenner, got stuff to make mashed potatoes and gravy, then came back here. Fucked around and screamed at each other until it was time to make the food. Scott made mashed potatoes, Bryan made the gravy, and I made the corn. Packed up the car, stopped to get ice, then went to Michelle's. I LOVE her house. It made me super sad, though. I don't see a future where I'll ever own a house, with the way the economy is going.

But man, the PARTY. Jesus H Christ almighty, I have not laughed that hard in what feels like months. I don't think anyone has, so it felt really good to sit at a table, get fat, and bullshit with those fucking maniacs. We had soooo much food. In attendance were: myself, Scott, Bryan, Julian, Adam (who is now Julian's son due to a spicy comment made by his (Adam's) mother, Shayna, who was also in attendance, you had to be there)Sidney, Derek C, Brittany, Madison, Jeremy, Stacie, Amanda, and Joshua. After we stuffed our stupid faces we all sat down and played a game of Cards Against Humanity, which took forever because none of us can shut the fuck up. We had to leave after that, though, it was a work night and I had to bring Bryan all the way back home. Dropped him off, dropped off a plate at Mom's, and got home. I don't know how I made it home, I was exhausted. After taking a quick bath I put my head on the pillow and it was like someone beaned me with a frying pan. I don't think I fully woke up until noon. I think this is going to be a tradition now. Hopefully next year we can do a Saturday so we can all hang out more. Sidney (Derek's cousin, not Sid) made these brownies that caused everyone in the house to soak their panties. I humped his leg. I hope he's psychologically scarred. Sorry, not sorry.

I made entirely too much gravy and I still have meatballs left.

December is going to be a really busy month. I have Friendsmas @ Connor & Lina's, Liz's birthday party that Sunday, possibly another party at the Cupps for Colton's birthday, and then of course Christmas and Comic Con. After that the schedule hopefully slows down. I am halfway through Christmas presents.

I am ready for it to be over, Jesus.

I am going to lie down. My old ass is still recovering from the madness that is Friendsgiving.
