holy smokes!: April 2006 Archives

you know you have found friends when they appreciate something as absurd as swedish cinco de mayo on the 6Th of may.

you know you have found friends when you can count on them to record gilmore girls if you forget.

you know you have found friends when you can count on coffee and dessert when you are having a bad day.

you know you have found friends when you not only talk about traveling together, but actually do it.

thomas and i have been fortunate enough to make some pretty cool friends these past couple of years.  we are truly lucky in getting to celebrate some absurd moments together.

with a couple days worth of perspective, i have come to a conclusion about pagan easter: tequila is never the answer.

neither is sangria.

while looking at the photos, i realized that a drinking game could be created from all of this.  every time you see alcohol, drink.

so.  the chick in the tutu beat the crap out of the pinata.  there is a lot of anger in that tutu.

of course, another shot of tequila was had at this point.  and i actually put the pinata head on my head.  those photos are reserved only for friends and my children as a warning about drinking.

we then proceeded to eat pie.  when you are drinking, pie tastes great.  it tastes even better wen fed from the hands of your friends.  unless yellow ears keeps feeding you raspberry pie which you don't like.

now i am not about to tell you a story of maturity.  this one is an excellent example of debauchery and drunkenness.  my grandmother is officially rolling over in her grave.

friday night, we needed booze to make sangria for mexican easter.  so the chick in the tutu (see photo) and i (see chick in photo second on the left) went to the liquor store and made total fools of ourselves getting ingredients, recipe in hand.  we were completely sober, although it looked nothing like it.

if you offend easily.  are a tee-totaler.  are going to write nasty things to me because i am about to refer to easter as "pagan easter" then please do not read any further.

so.  i just learned something tonight.  thought i would share.

i know that catalpa is the name of a tree.  catalpa trees.  i did not know that one of the common names is "princess tree."

yep.  that is how much of a princess i am.  even my web address mentions being a princess twice.

on another note.  i am almost done with this very long and tiring semester.  then i will be off to europe to putz about.  which is most definitely worth it.  but i sometimes stop and wonder where children and a home fit into this lifestyle.
