Misadventures of the Village Idiot #75

Birthday weekend celebration #2!

Friday
I am continuing on in my month long celebration of my birthday.  It’s overkill, but you know I love it.  Friday, I had a birthday dinner at Oceanaire.  I almost ended up canceling the whole thing because I didn’t think anybody was going to come, but the four people I really wanted to be there were there, and everybody else, well, that would have just been icing.

I had been dying to eat at Oceanaire for quite some time.  Debonair promised to take me but since I kicked him to the curb there was no chance of that.  I could have gone there alone but that’s not really the sort of place for that.  At any rate, I had a lot of fun.  We ordered everything off the menu plus tons of drinks.  We pretty much shut the place down.  The guy came around and was like, “I hope you don’t have a car in valet because they’re ready to go.”  Uhm, you don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here.

It was very good to see CC again, and Miss T.  I saw CC during restaurant week earlier this year, but Miss T, I hadn’t seen her since like New Orleans.  Actually, no, that’s not the true.  There was another time, only I cannot remember.

Saturday
I had so many plans for Saturday but they just went wherever they went.  I was supposed to do some overtime at work.  Yeah, I only did an hour.  I said I was going to run.  No, I didn’t.  Instead me and SF went to Tyson’s and spent all of our disposable income.  I wanted to find a nice outfit for the party.  I bought something but then I ended up not liking it.  I’m going to return it.  I got some shoes for my sister and some other junk.  I really don’t need to be shopping.  It is amazing how much money I have spent in the past few weeks.  My bank account is so sad because of it, but I am enjoying myself.  I’ll tighten up later on, perhaps in July because June is going to be another month where I’m spending a shit load of money.

After shopping I got some pad Thai from Asian One and then went home to relax a little.  We were supposed to go to two parties, but we skipped the first one and headed to the second one later on that night.  We went up to Baltimore for a friend’s party and to watch the fight.  I am passably interested in boxing.  Don’t count on me to know stats or anything like that, but I have seen most of the major fights in the past year or so.  Of course, I was rooting for Pacquiao and he won.

The fight lasted longer than I hoped it would.  The thing is, it was a blessing in disguise.  Even though the fight lasted long and nobody wanted to dance while the fight was on, it helped to bring out the guys.  Last time, my friend’s party had too many women.  Yes, we’re all beautiful but when I go to parties I want to dance with boys, not with girls.  Because of the fight there were a lot more guys.  And another thing I noticed is that there were a lot less TSA people than usual.  I remarked that this was a good thing.  These are no longer TSA-sponsored events.  There were some but not a whole checkpoint as in previous years.

I was very glad to see some old friends.  I’m so happy to see that they are looking well and enjoying life.  I did not see any of the Mean Girls and that’s a good thing.  That’s all dead in the water anyway.  Can we say, “five years ago?”  Yeah.  Five years ago.

I received a compliment later on the evening that really made my day.  Sometimes you have no idea how the smallest thing can make or break you.  I’m going to keep it to myself though.  It’s not really something to be read into, just something to be pleased by and move on.

After the party we went to Double T, or as we like to call it The Butter Factory.  Seven pancakes, four eggs and slices of bacon later it was after 4AM.  Time for these ladies to be in bed.  The thing I hate about staying up late is that I wake up early no matter what.  I was up at 730.  I made myself go into work to get in that overtime.  Then I claimed I was going to run and that didn’t happen.  Instead I came home and slept my life away until Maq called me.

We went out to dinner for mother’s day.  I was so tired I was about to fall asleep in my glass of wine.  I haven’t partied like a rock star in quite some time.

It was a pretty good weekend.

Next weekend is birthday celebration #3.  I have drill.  Ugh.  But then on Sunday I am taking off to run the Maryland Half and then I’m going to brunch with my ladies’ circle.  After that, it’s Hawaii.
