WARNING WARNING, this is gonna be one long ass post.....
So since I last wrote... I went to Corpus a week and almost a half ago to see the Lost Trailers play at the Surf Club... (they opened for Creager.) Took lots of pics, if you'd like to see em (for the first time or again) the address is.... http://photobucket.com/albums/v416/alibob78/ Pics from the wedding coming soon.... And if you don't know who the Lost Trailers are http://www.losttrailers.com/, try it and I bet you'll fall in love!!! So anywho, CORPUS... I visited with my family (her neighbors) then Bec and I went to the Surf Club about 8 ish, just in time for the guys to go on... We get up close to the stage and we're all like jamming out... It was greatness... I made a few DD (Drunk Dials for those that don't know what DD stands for - though in this case I was sober)'s. I am still so totally in lust with Manny and Ryder, both members of the band... Becca and I chilled during the break and I got my Averly Jane Tshirt that I've been wanting... Didn't get a chance to talk to the guys since they had to get to Ft Worth for the show at Billy Bob's the next night... I heard from some friends that rocked.... :0) Becca and I only stayed for part of Creager's set and the we went back to her house... Later that night we went out to the beach for our traditional lookie lookie session... Which turned out to be not so much lookie lookie as avoid the tar.... :0) We went out on the Pier and I think we shocked some fishermen by talking about sex... Whoo hoo, score one for me!!!! We went back to Becca's and watched a movie and went to bed... Woke up late the next day, ate lunch, tried to see my family again, they weren't home, so I came back to Houston...
Most of last week I spent all my free time looking for a job... Almost to the point of obsession but still nothing... Thursday I ran some last minute errands so that I could leave on Friday...
So Friday I fly to Arkansas and Melly meets me at the airport, she's been there an hour or 2 already, since she left early... We go on the longest drive ever to El Dorado and get lost once we get there... Finally find Heather's house just to find no one home... Call her cell, they're all at the rehearsal, and one of her relatives comes over to guide us there... The we get there in time for the end of the big rehearsal dinner... Dez, and Meg and Kristiana and Christina were all there (they were the bridal party they kinda had to be... :0) ). Heather's dad is still convinced I'm JP... Umm, ok, you're known me how many years now?!?!? Chuck was there too as was Craig and Amanda Y. too... Chuck was an usher and Craig was the best man... James was the other usher but he didn't come till Saturday... So anyway Friday night, the girls get together at Meg's hotel room and Dez has hired a stripper... Young, semi buff, bleached blond, almost (wink wink) completely shaved... He was dressed like a cowboy and I thought he looked ok but I wasn't attracted to him in the least... Hence the reason I tried to avoid every lap dance possible (though I did get stuck with 2 or 3 - found out there was no sock in his g string). He seemed like a beginner, he was very awkard at first, movements and attitude wise...( for those who want to see what he looks like... http://flickr.com/photos/49503057804@N01/ ).So anyway we're drinking the the stripper is doing his thing... The night goes on and he leaves... Ms Ball and Amanda Y come back up (theyd been visiting downstairs since they didn't want to participate). And we all leave Meg and her mom to go to bed... Amanda goes back to her hotel and Christina goes home, and the rest of us go to Heather's house since we're all staying there... We stay up visiting till almost 2 and go to bed... About 315 am my cell rings (its right by my head since I put the alarm on) and who do I see calling me? Gage. Who I think may have a death wish for daring to call me that late... I slept like crap the rest of the night but he finally explained to me last night that he'd been trying to call Ali Nicole... Anyway we all wake up early and get ready and go to the church... Heather's mom and grandmother both stayed up all night working on the gown and the dresses for the bridal party.... Wow... Whodathunk older ladies could pull all nighters? Not I for sure.....We spend a few hours getting the chapel and stuff ready then another hour or so getting everyone ready... The wedding still happened almost 15 minutes late which I've heard is normal... It was very pretty, the groom cried when the bride walked up, the bride cried too... Zuri and Rashaun showed up late too... The reception went on afterwards, and I served ice cream as I promised I would.. Though I didn't realize the ice cream was the CAKE until I got to the reception... Yeah they were melting since the hall had no AC and had been sitting out during the ceremony... So it all winds down about 4 ish... Heather felt ill so we all went back to her house, me, Melly, Heather, Chuck, Dez, Craig, Katari, and Meg (eventually she showed up). We all changed clothes and Heather started opening presents. We spent most of the early evening doing that and making sure the cards for each gift said who they were from and what they gave... Then we all went out to dinner and to the hotel where Dez/Craig and Heather/Katari were staying... We wound up watching the Whole 10 Yards, which I fell asleep during... Melly and I went back to Heathers about 1 ish... We immediately go to bed. We wake up about 8 or 9 and get ready to go... By 10 we're on the road back to Little Rock. I make my flight with time to spare and the plane was early (WTF!?!?!). I get home about 4 and I do nothing since I'm so tired... I go back out to Hobby at 9 to pick mom up... I almost cried when the rent a cop told me I had to circle the airport since i couldn't just sit there waiting for mom... I was just that tired... We get home and visit (Lauren and Lindsay were both here making cookies). About 11 or so I crash... Hard. I woke up at 11, only because Lauren came in and was playing on the computer... I ran some errands today but I still haven't unpacked...
Oh yea I forgot the great part... I came back yesterday and the 2nd floor AC isn't working, so the repair guy is coming bewteen 11 and 2 tommorrow. So all the fans are going full blast and I'm just glad the 3rd floor unit still works!!!!
Ok I don't think I forgot anything... And I have to go clean the kitchen anyway.... So laters!!!!
