Kittery, ME
Let's not talk about the Red Sox. If you were living in a cave, they lost 5 straight to the Yankees (and 12 of 17) to fall 6 1/2 games behind (when we were 3 1/2 up for about 3 months). Football season has started...
Saturday:
Samantha and I went out to dinner at my father's. I had a few beers, she had a few wines. I got a 1 1/4 lb. lobster with shrimp and linguine fra diavolo. After dinner, we went to the Dockside to sit, drink, play Keno (I lost), and watch the Patriot's preseason game against Arizona. I know it is only the preseason, but they looked good. I got a Long Island Iced Tea and a Jack and Coke. Samantha got an Appletini, and 2 other drinks, but I don't remember them. We went back to my house and drank SoCo on the Rocks, played cards and watched South Park.
Sunday:
At around 1PM, we went to Kittery, ME to the Outlet Stores. It is about a one hour drive. We looked in a ton of places, at clothes and food, but mostly at apartment stuff. I actually enjoyed myself going shopping! Anyways, I bought an all-in-one casino board. It has playing chips, cards, dice, a Roulette wheel and ball, a Blackjack table, and a Craps table. Sweet! Also, at the Lindt store, Samantha and I combined to buy like 10 chocolate truffle bars. Samantha bought 2 boy-shorts, 3 thongs, and a shirt at Leggs for only $15-$20. Also while there, she bought a wicked HOT white, wedding-style with garter straps, corset for only $5. That is not a typo, only $5. I guess it was originally on sale for $99, but it is from Europe and is discontinued, so they are trying to get rid of them. Deal of the century. After the outlet stores, we went to Yummies. It is a candy store right on Route 1 (Maine) with over 10,000 pounds of candy on the shelves. I bought a package of 24 liquor filled chocolate bottles. Each candy has about a half of a shot, they claim 5% alcohol per volume or the same as a beer. There is a great selection of all kinds of alcohol and good ones too (ie. not Rubinoff). Samantha bought a case of 30 candy cigarettes, candy raspberries, and 3 bags of mixed nuts/oriental rice cracks/trail mix. We may have bought more candy, but I don't remember it. We had a great time and left by around 5 or 6.
After Maine, we stopped at the NH State Liquor Store. I wanted to buy a full bar for the apartment. We wound up buying 18 handles. We got JD, SoCo, Jose Cuervo Tequila, Bailey's, Limonchello, Smirnoff Razz, Stoli Vanilla, Absolut, Smirnoff Citron, Bacardi 151, Bacardi Superior, Bombay Sapphire Gin, Dekuyper Sour Apple Pucker, Dekuyper Watermelon, Peach Schnapps, Malibu Coconut, Amaretto, and Triple Sec. It only cost $300! I know it sounds like a lot, but add it up by what you think it should cost. Every bottle was $5-$10 cheaper (some even more!) than in MA. Sam and I are splitting the alcohol (and whatever money we get back). This way we will have drinks around (and, more importantly, a variety of drinks) for those nights when there are no big parties and just a few of us are hanging out or for pregamming.
I kept the receipt, so what I am going to do is figure out how much each shot is (ie. bottle of tequila cost $30, has 60 shots, then 50 cents per shot). Then, I am just going to do all the making of the drinks and just charge by drink (ie. if a Tequila Sunrise has 2 shots of tequila = $1.00). I don't plan on using that shit for BIG parties--like, "let's use these 3 bottles up and have a Sex on the Beach party", etc, we can go out and buy stuff for that--just for when there are like less than 10 of us hanging out drinking or pregamming. Also, if, for example, you don't want to go get something for yourself, or you have beer and want a change of pace, just tell me, dude I want a Long Island Iced Tea or a shot or Jack on the Rocks or whatever, and I will go make one and put it on "your tab for the night" or something like that. This way, Samantha and I don't lose money and we don't overcharge either ($5 to drink for the night can be anything from 2-20 shots with us, haha). I am WICKED excited to be the bartender of the house!!! Of course, if you don't want to bother with that (I think it's awesome, cheap, convenient, and you get a variety of good drinks) then you can always buy your own shit and bring that. This should be fun, I am so excited to move-in.
On the way back, we stopped at the Century House for dinner. We played some Keno (I lost again). We got scallops and bacon and mussels for an appetizer. I got a Captain Morgan and Ginger and a Jack and Coke. Samantha got a Ruby Red martini and a Malibu with Absolute, Pinapple, and Orange (amazing drink). For dinner I got a sirloin steak that wound up being ground up like a hamburger (I guess I ordered the wrong thing) and Samantha got a chicken club. We wound up with about a $75 bill when we were trying to be cheap about it. The alcohol really kills you. After dinner, we went back to her house for a little while and then I went home.
Funny story of the day:
Samantha was walking in Essex today and a bird shit on her head. She thought it was a bug and swatted her hand to her head. So, now she has shit on her hand and squashed and rubbed it into her hair. Nice job Sam. Hilarity at its highest.
One more week...
