weekend recap: (super late) girls weekend edition

so i was lazy and didn't do a weekend recap of girl's weekend. until now, after another weekend has passed. i suck. but hey, now you get two recaps. lucky.



friday
-sarah, jackie and i (and moco, sarah's furball dog) head down to austin in my car
-the car ride is one of my favorite parts of the trip
-we smoke a joint and laugh at jackie
-stoned jackie goes from zero to ten, normal to retarded, it is so awesome and funny
-the hills and trees and views in austin make me so happy
-at the house sarah pulls out a box of old notes from high school and we read them and laugh at what we thought was SO important, so dramatic
-the highlight was an IM convo between sarah and zach, a dtr of sorts, omg so hilarious
-went out for dinner at trudy's, jackie was appalled at our 11 pm dinnertime, she's a square
-food was AMAZING, my inner fat kid loves austin so much
-drinks and stuff and good times and no one gets crazy and there are no disasters


saturday
-we headed to the river in our matching tie dye t-shirts
-it was kind of an ordeal, late start, parking far away, waiting forever for tubes, walking super far to the river, crashing and spilling the cooler, ehhhh
-once we got to floating, things were cool
-jackie totally fell in front of tons of people, one second she was standing, the next she was not, so funny
-we tricked a guy into thinking we were all british: "wow, that's so cool, i'm floating with people from england, whoa..."
-the float seemed to last forever and we were certainly ready to get out when it was time
-we went to "the shanty" a dive-y looking place that promised "drinkin' and dancin'" inside, but were turned away due to a wedding party being held there
-seriously? the shanty? for your wedding? come on.....
-had a most delicious dinner again, at rudy's this time, jackie gave her compliments to the chef she liked it so much, this place is connected to a gas station
-leaving rudy's, shani insisted that this series of speedbumps was actually an optical illusion, and maintained this assertion even after driving over a few of them, they were bumpy, she finally gave in...gotta love shani


sunday
-one more incredible meal before we were headed back north, kerbey lane i love you so much, i would weigh 500 lbs if i lived in austin, i'm sure of it
-i want some coffee and pancakes right now just thinking about it....god...
-john joined us, with audrey and dillanger of course, they are off-the-charts cute
-audrey told us about her recent tea party, her new backpack for kindergarten, and the new word she just learned: androgynous
-my heart goes out to john, doing it on his own, doing it well, putting them first FOR REAL and not even making an issue out of it (teacher alert, i'm watching and appreciating and learning)
-the drive is so fun again, i wish shani could have been there for all the giggles
-we get high again, and stumble upon this convenience store that was frozen in time about 10 years ago
-i first discovered it back in december with jackie and hass, this place has candy you only remember from your childhood but haven't seen since, it probably is actually that old, oh well...nostalgia is awesome
-sarah downs a red bull and falls asleep, who does that?
-thus concludes girls weekend '08, can't wait till '09
