Recap Continued
Posted on November 1, 2004 by Ching under Life.
To continue my recap.. I make it to Orgins by 5:30 PM. I get my makeup done. Sarah and Savannah want dinner so they go down to Fusa. Brian and I hit Hollister to continue our shopping binge. He didn’t find anything of interest but I managed to buy quite a few things for myself. I’m super excited to wear them! Brian and I actually put together this outfit that consists of a red lacy spaghetti strap tank under a cropped fair isle sweater to wear with one of my denim mini skirts and then some cute leg warmers. Still thinking about the proper shoes to wear with the outfit, though. I got a couple of other things, but that was the main thing that Brian is proud of because he put it together.
After hitting a few other stores, Brian decides he is hungry so he goes downstairs for a pretzel. Sarah and Savannah are still there eating so I show them my goodies. I decide that I’m not hungry so I skip dinner. Dumb idea! You’ll understand later..
Fast forward to Erin and Jason’s halloween party. I come as Tomb Raider and, for the first year ever, Brian decides to skip the costume. Everyone had great costumes. Erin was Marilyn Monroe, Kelly was Dorothy, Sarah and Savannah did coordinating bunny costumes, Aubrey was a football player.. Gosh there’s too many to list. You’ll see them all in the Flickr album though. I also put together a fun photoshow, if you’re so inclined and have a few minutes to spare.
The party was fun. We played some poker and battle of the sexes. They even took time to sing me happy birthday. As you know, I don’t really like the attention so that was kind of embarrassing, but I’m glad that it was my birthday because I didn’t have to sing happy birthday. I hate singing happy birthday because I’m so tone deaf that I can’t even sing the stupid freakin’ happy birthday song properly. Thank God it was MY birthday so I was exempt from singing! Anyway, that was really nice of them.
As the night wore on and the drinks kept pouring, I didn’t even realize I was getting a little too drunk. Brian’s version of the evening consisted of me being loud and obnoxious. Of course, all the other drunk people didn’t notice. At least, I hope they didn’t. Things are way, way different from a sober person’s perspective I guess..
I thought I was fine, but when Brian and I finally got home that’s when the shit hit the fan. Brian said I passed out over the toilet, with my chin hanging on the edge. He had to pick me up to take me to the bedroom. He was actually surprised that I didn’t bruise because he said he dropped me! I was so sick Brian said he stayed up until 5:30 AM or so just to make sure I would be okay. The next day was the same. Still queasy puky. I was so close to canceling my birthday lunch with the family because at 12:30 PM I was still feeling nauseous. Brian wouldn’t let me cancel lunch though so we went.
The sucky part is that I love Abuelo’s and all I could eat were bland chips and a side of rice. I eventually was able to eat some chips with my favorite chili con queso with beef after I started feeling a little better but I was so disappointed that I couldn’t eat anything else. We’ll just have to go again next time.
Anyway, we had planned on going shopping after lunch and playing some racquet ball from 5 to 7 PM but, because of the state I was in, we couldn’t do any of that. It was no fun at all being hung over! I think I may forsake drinking forever. Brian sure doesn’t like it when I drink so I’m sure he’d support the decision.
BTW, dinner at Outback with Sarah, Benny, Ashley and Brian was pretty good. I’m just so glad that I can start eating food again and not have to worry about it wanting to come back out. After dinner we went over to Ashley’s to checkout their new PS2. Pretty cool!
I guess this is it for now because I’m getting sleepy. I’ll try to write a more interesting entry next time, instead of telling you how the weekend went. Maybe I’ll write some fiction that could be non-fiction that will leave you wondering, did she or did she not? Ha! I think I may just do that next time.
