"I'll Show You!"

That was the theme of last night's happy hour for various reasons. It was pretty much a warning to all significant others to not make negative comments about their girlfriends/wives because the physical conditions can get a whole lot worse!

Thank god the happy hour crew is back for regular Wednesday night bevs. We had to take a few weeks off due to busy schedules, but we're back on track, making our way around different venues. Even pregnant Tammi is taking one for the team and showing up each week. Unfortunately, the doctor told her she needs to lay off any unnecessary sugar, so she wasn't able to order her virgin daquiri's.

Last night, Pappadeaux on the tollway was the lucky winner to receive the gift of our presence. Being that the last day for crawfish was on Tuesday, Kacy ordered the Pappas Greek Salad, which is prepared at the table with all kinds of different ingredients. She wanted a simple one with only cucmbers and shrimp, so they presented her with a plate displaying the 20 cucumber slices and 1 shrimp. I start laughing and whisper to Kacy, "You only got one shrimp!" She denied my claim and said no, there was more in a bowl or something. Okay dude, whatevs! This is what her salad came out as. Please notice that I was right, only one shrimp!

After eating, Kacy presented me with the best present ever. It is not a hidden secret that I turn Jewish when it comes to grocery shopping and I appreciate coupons to no end! While in Tyler, she found this bad boy in the 80's packaging. She was probably just as excited to give it to me as I was to receive it!



Of course we had to try it out right then and there. There was no way I could withold my excitement until I got home.


Our happy hour is not just for retarded laughs, we do have some genuine laughs. We learn so much about each other that wouldn't normally come out in everyday conversation. Tammi has a twin sister who turned lesbian after meeting her wife, (who was married to a man at the time) playing Everquest online. Janee said that her and her mom were relieved that her brother didn't turn out gay. I definitely mentioned the contents of the email I received from my brother earlier in the day, which will be its own blog in due time. Being that Tammi is pregnant, we got on the topic of birth. Much like myself, Kacy was comfortably staying put in her momma's tummy 'til well after her due date. By the time she was actually born, she was such a large baby, she was practically a grown damn woman! They had to immediately cut her nails because they were long like an adult's, and get this...they skipped the breastfeeding and the formula and went straight to cereal. This chick was 3 hours old and being fed cereal. How spectacular is that?

I don't claim to be any kind of geography genius, but it's nice to know my friends are just as dumb as me! :) When we got home, we were both slightly tipsy and tired, but we had to catch up on The Bachelorette from Monday night. During the viewing, Robyn goes "I didn't think there were mountains in Florida." I looked at her dumbfoundedly and said "There aren't. There are mountains in California." Her response, "What? But they're in Palm Springs. Why are they showing they're in the mountains if they're in Florida?" I informed her the Palm Springs was actually in California, not Florida and she goes "Well see, look at the palm trees. They're in Florida." Whatever chick!
