Family of a NAVY dentist: My Birthday Weekend

I am aware that my birthday weekend has passed, but I feel the need to remember this fun weekend. So... how will I do that? I can't rely on my memory, because man oh man does that suck! Each passing day, I remember less, and I can't blame it on my age. At least not yet. I am not THAT old. To help me remember, I will blog about it.

Friday Evening!

Rita's Water Ice

It took me right back to my summers spent in Philadelphia, New Jersey, and New York watching Phillies & Yankees games, playing in Central Park, listening to Frank Sinatra, and frequenting my Aunt Joanie's Magic Fridge full of "Wooter" ice (water).

Saturday Morning!

Upon my return from my morning run - melt my heart!

KD's Donuts

Reason to have my morning run.

The blueberry donuts here are ridiculous!

Plus the donut holes that they just give to you. FOR FREE!!!!!

(See why I had to run!)

Wishful thinking!

We will need a car, if we ever have a baby again.

(No, I am not pregnant.)

Saturday Afternoon Dialogue:

Me: So what are we doing tonight? Wait. Don't tell me. I want it to be a surprise. But at least tell me what I should wear.

My sugar: You should probably wear athletic shoes of some sort for the first part of the night. And dress really casual. We are going somewhere for dinner that is really, really, really casual. Also, I don't know how many people are going to go to the last activity. The number just keeps getting higher and higher.

Me thinking to myself: (You have got to be kidding me. I am going to wear ugly tennis shoes that don't go with ANY outfit I would ever want to wear on a special night out; On a night where I would HOPE to get ALL dressed up and look pretty. Argh. Not to mention, We are eating at Mc(freaking)Donald's. Gross. Plus, who the crap are we spending the evening with if I am wearing athletic shoes, and supposedly participating in some sort of ACTIVITY?) sidenote: I am aware of how snotty I am.

My sugar: Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. There is some earning potential from tonight's festivities.

Me thinking to myself: (Does my husband not know who he married? Seriously. We are golfing. I don't mind golfing, but now I have to control my temper whilst golfing with a big group of people, who, I am sure, are HIS dental school friends. Argh! I have to be extra nice because they don't know just how SNOTTY I really am, yet. )

Saturday Evening!

The outfit of choice.

(I brought some Toms to put on for the athletic activity which I figured out was... Drum roll please...)

Batting Cages!

Me, terrified, inserting the balls into the pitching machine.

Had to stand behind this "safety" net. EVERY time he hit the ball, I ducked!

My turn!

You can't see where the ball is going but you can hear the contact!

I'll just tell you, they were some great hits! :)

Really, Really, Really Casual Dining

@ Smash Burger

I love this joint, so it was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. :)

Yay! No McDonald's.

The Earning Potential -

Bingo at Red Rock Casino

This was SUPER intense.

The first lady who called the numbers was fabulous, The second dude who filled in half way through our Bingo Jam Session, sucked. We all lost our Bingo rhythm. Along with our money as well! No one earned a thing, except mad respect for the 90 year olds who are in there "dobbing" away with such speed and accuracy!

Worthless sheets of paper.

Fun times with friends, even if they are my sugar's friends.

(They like me better anyways! Ha.)

We tried our luck at Keno!

Boo. But this sweet old lady, and her partner beside her who is NOT dead (but pretty close to it) just won $11,000, 3 weeks ago. The worker said she has been in that same seat ever since, for hours at a time, just giving it ALL back to the casino. :(
