yay! i have A LOT to write about
so this weekend was definitely the BEST weekend of my life...
Friday: Jesse, Lucy, Maribel and i leave for our trip to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania...mapquest says the ETA is one hour and 48 minutes....we leave NY at 3:15 PM, only to arrive in Bethlehem at 8:30 PM, 5 1/2 hours later! where was that goddamn star of bethlehem when we needed it??? see, its not that we were lost, its just that we kept missing where we had to go...and by time we got to the next exit, which was anyway from 13 to 27 miles away, it was too late to turn around and head back to where we shouldve been, so we just stopped and got new directions from where we were...and then we missed something on THOSE directions and so on and so on...this happened to us FOUR TIMES....yes, FOUR....i was seriously ready to cry, and about to claw my cheek off, but the girls were trying to keep me calm and they lifted my spirits...then i got off at this one exit to turn around, and i was going to get back on the highway and go East, and the girls were arguing with me and they were like "no, we think u should be going West", but then Jesse, my best friend of 17 years who knows me better than i know me, says "no guys, listen, Grace is hysterical, and when she's hysterical, she gets logical, so lets just trust her"...and they did....and i was right! i guess i do get logical when i get hysterical, thanks Jess....
so our theme song of the weekend was "Like A Virgin" by Madonna, but not cuz of the obvious reason, its cuz the first few lines of the song are "i made it through the wilderness, somehow i made it through, didnt know how lost i was until i found you"...and that basically described the trip there lol....
so we got there safe and sound....the place we stayed in was GORGEOUS...seriously, i recommend it to anyone....its an old mansion that they made into this cute little bed and breakfast....and the people that work there are so nice and amazing...Linda, the cook, became out makeshift mammy (and yes, i said mammy, not mommy)....it was very cute...
so saturday morning at 5:30 am, i wake up to the sound of all 3 girls laughing hysterically...and im like wtf? apparently, Lucy got mad and told me to stop taking so many pictures cuz she was trying to sleep, and Jesse (my bedmate) was like "Umm Luc, Grace is knocked out" and then Maribel starts laughing and goes "Lucy its not a camera flash, its LIGHTNING" so then they start cracking up and thats what woke me up...then a few mins later as we were trying to go back to sleep, we hear this weird creaking noise coming out of our room...now keep in mind we're in an old mansion, what do you think we thought it was??? so Lucy gets up and decides to put the chair in front of the door to keep the ghost out....right, like a chair in front of a door is going to deter the ghost...ugh Lucy Lucy Lucy....
Saturday:
we went exploring through the town, shopped, ate, and had a blast...
Sunday:
got up, ate, packed, went home...got lost again....well, not exactly lost, we were on the RIGHT highway, just in the WRONG direction....so 20 miles later we turn around and start again...got home 3 hours later...
it was funny cuz we all seemed to have our own little personal catch-phrases of the weekend...
Lucy: Really???
Maribel: I really just wanna be warm
Jesse: Shhh guys, i just feel like we should be quiet
Grace: i'm just gonna make a u-turn here guys, i can do it, watch me
so yea, we had a BLAST...my camera had 527 pics in it from this weekend, Lucy's camera had 480 pics in it and Maribel went through TWO memory cards and Jesse went through one...so we were quite picture happy....i'll post some pics from this weekend in another post....right now its American Idol time....YAY!
