Dear Spring Break - you were great to me.

Hello all!

So this past week was Spring Break, and let me tell you -- it could NOT have come at a better time! Gosh I needed a break from this place!!! Well, I think everyone needed a break. I'm afraid a few more days here and most of us would have climbed the bell tower going insane.

So the break did NOT go at all as planned. Sometimes that is a good thing. San Antonio [& my date with buddy Eddie D.] did not happen. Very sad face. Fort Worth [& seeing my awesome ex-roomie] also did not happen. So I was here until Tuesday. Which don't get me wrong, I actually really enjoyed being here while no one else was here. The quiet was nice and it almost felt like summer [including the weather!] here. I stayed and helped Shahala count pennies from last week's GREEK WEEK PENNY WAR. And let me tell you, coins are gross! Anyhoo, so after that we dabbled in some tennis playing. Well, mostly just jacking around but it was still a pretty good work out! :)

So then I went home Tuesday and stayed until Sunday night. Wednesday consisted of spending time with my little cousin Megan. I wish I had the energy of little kids. She wore me out that day completely! We went to the zoo and then McDonalds and then to Dairy Queen. So much fun though! Here is us with the monkey's at the zoo:

So all in all, it was such a fun day since I don't ever get to do stuff with her! Thursday was filled with cleaning up around the house and just being lazy. It was nice too! Then Friday was errand running with mom and going out with my besty [who I NEVER get to hang with!!] which turned into the best night that I've had in a LONG time! :) At first, I just wanted to go out to eat and then call it an early night but then I was like "Umm no. I want to go out!" So we went to downtown Amarillo to have dinner. Next to the restaurant were 2 different clubs/bars. Cassie's uncle [who is a gay mexican man! HILARIOUS man!] just happened to be at one of the bars down the sidewalk. So as we are walking, we run into some people and this is where the argument happens. Let me see up the scene for you fab readers:

There are 4 people wearing "I LOVE JESUS" shirts walking towards us. They seem friendly so when the dude started to talk, we responded. No problem. This is how the conversation goes:

Dude: "Good evening ladies. How are ya'll? Mind if I talk to ya for a sec?"
Us: "We're great. Sure, why not?"
Dude: "Are either of ya'll married?" [at this time, I just point to Cassie]
Cassie: "Well I am."
Dude: "Well how would you like it if he cheated on you?"
Cassie: " I wouldn't."
Dude: "What about if he went out with the other girl?"
Cassie: "Still wouldn't like it."
Dude: "What about if he even just thought about it?"
Cassie: "Umm the answer is still the same."
Dude: "When then how do you think Jesus feels having you cheat on him by going into these bars here?!"
[at this point, he starts quoted verses from the Bible regarding sinning.]
Cassie: "We are meeting my uncle and we surround ourselves with good people and we are doing nothing wrong."
Me: "Have you seen the movie 'Footloose' sir?"
Dude: "Yeah..."
Me: "Well, if you happen to remember in the end while he is fighting his case at the city council meeting, he quotes verses regarding 'dancing and rejoicing in front of the Lord and for the Lord." Tonight we are dancing and celebrating life.
Dude: "Well, I'm not condemning you are anything..."
Us: "You have a good evening..." [and we walk away to dance!]

But after that little chat with that guy, it kind of upset us a bit. Who is he to tell us what we should be doing and start questioning OUR Faith. But we didn't let it ruin our evening. So we met up with Cassie's uncle at the nice little place. Very classy after 5pm type bar. There was some live music going on and they were FABULOUS. So we had a martini and got to know people a bit. Cassie's uncle had a friend with him [who was a straight good looking Cowboy] and then we decided to go next door to dance the night away. [By this time, our new 'friends' had left. Prolly to go watch Footloose] Anyhoo, at this club, it was FLASHBACK FRIDAY. Oh dear it was soooo much fun!!! We brought back alot of the dance moves from Jr High and High School dances. It never got too crowded and we had SOO much fun just cutting loose! A guy proceeded to quote Kat Williams to me later in the night! [He is my new best friend!] This is how the convo went after be buys me a drink:

Dude: "Tonight, I'm not gonna follow you. I'm just gonna follow by $7 investment!"
Me: "OMG, did you just quote Kat Williams to me?!"
Dude: "Oh you know him?!"
*LAUGHTER*

But it was alot of fun that night and it made me realize how much I miss my friend from home. We've both been through so much together and sometimes it takes those little things to make you realize who the best ones in life are and we are best friends. I heart this girl. One lady asked if we were sisters. Nope, but we sure act like it sometimes.

The rest of the weekend consisted of recovering from Friday night. Haha! :) But it was all worth it. Thank you Spring Break 2009!

---------------------------------

So now it's back to school for the rest of the semester. I have a feeling this week is gonna be an interesting week, I mean today alone was interesting. There is a foam party on Friday. Not too sure yet if I'm gonna go. The last foam party I went to, didn't have a great experience. So we'll have to see.

Also, it's nice to see how childish people can be. All it does to me is make me laugh cause you're only making yourself seem like a jack-a$$. You try to play off that you are 'all that a bag of potato chips'. Sorry honey, you're not. Hate to break that news to you. But no worries -- at that should be ending pretty soon.

Anyhoo -- hope this week still stays going great! We can only hope. :)
