Karaoke, Drinks, Unconscious Boyfriends, and Lost and the Airport
Hello out there to my faithful followers...yes all 2 of you. I come to you this evening to lay out the events of my weekend for you to fawn (or yawn) over.
Randy's trip went well and he returned home a few hours before I got home from work on Friday. It was so nice to have him back home again. I know it was only like a day and a half, but it was tres lonely here. Thankfully I had the Beagan to keep me company. He's a good listener, but sucks at the talking. Anyhow, I digress. I gave Randy half of his birthday presents (the others are arriving via mail) and then we just relaxed at home for most of the night. We started watching Infamous (which I really want to continue to watch) but we both were so worn out that we just went to bed.
Saturday, Chelle came up and treated Randy and I to lunch at Panera bread and then came to see our new place and have an ice cold Blue Moon (yum.) It was certainly nice to see her after all these months. Saturday night was the real treat though as we went out on the big town to celebrate Randy's big 3 0. Our troupe consisted of myself, the birthday boy, Aubry, Topher, Caryn and Carter. We all at first convened at Carter's house at it is, of course, the headquarters of all our troublemaking in Indy. We did a little pre-partying, Randy included (who really likes So Co it would appear). After that is was off to a really fucking fun karaoke bar in Carmel called Nippers. I wasn't sure about it when we first walked in but we had an absolute blast. Of course we were the loudest, most obnoxious, opinionated AND fun people there, I mean DUH. Caryn blasted out a wonderful rendition of "Strawberry Wine" while Randy sang an absolutely dead on "Someone Saved My Life Tonight." I swear I almost cried at how good my guy can sing, he's really amazing, I can see why he does so well performance wise. Topher, Aubry, Caryn and I also sang 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton, although truth be told, we let Caryn do most of the singing :-) In between the singing and the yelling and dancing with odd scary people, we all managed to put away 5 to 6 rounds of Long Islands which got us all well....fucked up beyond belief. Randy, who isn't a big drinker at all, was so cute (but then he's always fucking cute) in an inebriated state. About 2 am we all piled into Carter's car again and headed to the Steak and Puke for the quickest after drinking eating binge I've even experienced, as we were all about to pass out (and a couple of us did just that right there at the table.
Sleeping arrangements last night were...entertaining....Caryn, Randy and I in Carter's bed (a Justin sandwich!), Aubry in the papasan, Carter on the couch and poor Topher on the floor, who had to work like two hours after we got home. Topher forgot his phone charger at Carter's and we tried to return it to him at the airport, but my efforts were in vain as I could not find him and the people he works with AND guest services at Indy International both suck when it comes to, oh I don't know, HELPING! Anyhow I walked around for a bit not knowing where to go in the effing airport but finally admitted defeat and left only to have Topher call me on my cell about 15 minutes after we left...sigh...I felt bad.
It was a wonderful weekend and I am again reminded how goddamned lucky I am to have such a wonderful man and partner in my life as well as the best friends that any person could ask for. I hope to have them ALL around for the rest of my life. I am blessed, and I hope they all think they are as well.
So now, after coming down off the biggest hangover ever, and the worst caffeine deprivation that I've ever experienced...I'm doing my Sunday night laundry at Mom's house. She made Randy a birthday dinner of barbequed spare ribs with all the trimmings. It's been a great day.
I hope you all are well and warm...remember Spring is coming!
