I had quite possibly the best weekend ever. I don't remember much about Saturday, only that I was antsy for Sunday, Mandy's Memorial Day party.
MB and I drove out around midday and had one helluva time! In an uncharacteristic move, I went light on the drinking for no reason other than last year I barely made it to 2 a.m. I did catch a quick nap around 3:30 a.m., but was otherwise coherent until 5 when our little group -- MB, me, Mandy, her brother, and Mandy's friend Court -- finally decided it was best we fell asleep before the sun was completely up.
Monday we had a barbecue with family friends. The girls, who I don't know as I've given monikers yet, had a watergun fight with MB and I. No one was declared winner, since my teammate broke out the hose we were using to refill and all hell broke loose. Last year I never participated, being a princess still and even though I was in touch with my inner five-year-old I didn't let it come out and play in public. It was way too much fun!
And now for the more somber section of today's entry. On Wednesday, after work, MB called and asked me if I was sitting down, he'd had a phone call from J. Since J's engaged, I figured he was going to tell me J had eloped. Not so. Our friend A, who used to live with J and who MB and J went to school with, passed away over the weekend. We're still waiting to hear the cause of death. She was only 26. I can't wrap my head around it. It's not real yet. It probably won't be until her funeral. How does someone my age (practically) just suddenly die? It really makes me appreciate that I went out to Boston for J's eye surgery, since she came along. Of all the times we hung out, that will definitely be my favorite.
Meanwhile, T-minus 10 days and counting until I boogie up to my parents for, get this, 12 fun-filled days. The things I do to save running around unnecessarily. But I have big plans while I'm there (that I'll elaborate on in future entries) so hopefully it will be worth it. I just need to buy a few things and then I'll be set. Which means I need to get out of jammies first. Hmm...
Wishing it wasn't so muggy,
Thanks for reading,
