Congrats LadyinPurpleNotRed!
@Brad – it happens to the best of us. I have an excellent memory for a lot of things, but sometimes if you ask what I did the day before (or even a few hours before), I can’t remember. I can; however, remember something my husband said 5 years ago and hold it against him.
Man does he hate that. I also hold a lot of little random facts in my brain that will never be useful to anyone ever. Hangovers do suck. Haha. What’s weird for me is some days I will drink like a champ, all these crazy mixed drinks and be totally fine. Then I’ll have a few beers and feel like crap the next day.
My weekend was pretty great too. I went to this photo expo/seminar thing and learned a lot of cool new tricks. Then my BF came down and we drank too much haha. Then went to the pool ad an Iron&Wine concert outdoors with my BF, brother ad his wife drank more. Good times had by all
Sweets! I’m jealous of you too! I miss Vegas.
Anyway, my Friday afternoon at work ended HORRIBLY. I could hear my co-workers chitter-chattering about how someone was “prejudiced” and I asked them what they were talking about, but they wouldn’t tell me. Then when they left for home (we have slightly different shifts), my boss came in and said that she had to go down to personnel because she was accused of being “racist.” My 2 co-workers are African American and I am white. Apparently they think I get preferential treatment because I’m white. One of my co-workers found out that I make more money than she does, and I think that’s where it started, and it snow-balled from there. I don’t know what other incidents contributed to it. But now it’s super AWKWARD for me…. AND now my boss is going to be all up ALL of our asses equally. She said she wanted to warn me and give me a heads up as to why it’s happening, but she’s going to be micro-managing the shit out of us.
So I was already DYING for a cocktail. I went to my hometown for a fundraiser for kids with CF (my friend has a daughter with CF), and started drinking early. I was also upset because I was in the midst of a pretty “heavy” conversation with my boo about where our relationship is going (it’s not looking good, to be honest), except we hadn’t seen each other since Monday and I wanted to talk in person but I was out of town, so there was this whole “to be continued” thing hanging over my head.
THEN my friend announced that she is pregnant. I’m not HUGELY surprised, and on one hand, I’m very happy for her because I know how badly she wants another kid. But here’s the thing… She already has 3 kids (the first 2 were with a different dad). One of them has cystic fibrosis, and she is a VERY sick child. Her new baby will have a 25% chance of having CF. On top of that, her relationship with her husband has been pretty shitty lately (she’s been seriously considering divorce), AND he’s not working. It’s none of my business because like I said, she’s happy… but I’m just very concerned.
Then I drank too much and made an ass of myself. The end.
Cats, I hope next weekend is better for you. How about you come up/over/whatever to WI and get a tattoo with me. That usually makes me feel better
