this weekend, i…
- flew on a tiny plane… like the types where u have to climb up the stairs to board, a la president/queen/famous people.
- got “crunked up percolated NC style” (to use the words of angela)… note to self: don’t drink on an empty stomach. also, don’t ever trust friends who tell you it’s just lemonade…. ’cause it’s NOT. it doesn’t even taste like lemonade.
- discovered mariam is REALLY mean. i always knew she was mean, but she’s REALLY mean. she actually hit me on my rump when i was sleeping
jerk…. just kidding mariam! 
- woke up at 9am on saturday and sunday, but because mariam is mean (she threatened to punch me in the face if i woke her up so mean!), i had to staaaaaaarve until 3pm on saturday (and i woke up hungry!) and sit quietly bored out of my mind until noon on sunday.
- bought a blue hair hat (think dr. seuss’ thing one, thing two kinda of hair)
- wasted $25 and three hours of blood, sweat and tears painting a stupid 3D monkey mug that will look like a 5 year old did it in 2 minutes! arrrghhh! we needed to kill a hour of time so we thought painting would be a nice, stressfree activity like when we were kids. psh! what were we thinking?!?! the first sign should’ve been when they were like “here are some design books for you to get ideas for.” dude, when i painted in elementary school, it was a flat dog statue and it was brown… ALL of it, JUST brown…. no design patterns needed! cindy almost had a nervous breakdown picking a design and colors. three hours later, we finaaally finished. i nearly broke my mug when i put it down emphatically as i finished. total cost of the evening… ~$90 for 2 mugs, 1 beer stein, and 1 picture frame!!! the lady must have hated us for cursing so much and bashing the place left and right. we were so bitter we couldn’t even walk by the store later in the evening.
- discovered that there is NO bbq place open past 8pm on a saturday night or sunday!! more bitterness towards painting followed.
- got a manicure done. after angela and larry left, cindy, mariam and i went shopping and randomly decided getting manicure would be fun since cindy and i had never gotten one before. right when she said we should go pick colors, my brain shut down. cindy started getting shortness of breath. bad idea! i ended up getting a chocolate-looking brown (mmm, i want to lick my fingers) that mariam handed to me (goood thing she didn’t hand me some random weird color because i probably would’ve chose it to avoid making a color decision anyways), cindy got a pretty pink color and mariam got a lighter pink color. but since they did us all separately and cindy and i had never gotten ones done, we didn’t know what to do. cindy got in trouble for not being relaxed enough and i got in trouble for trying to pick up my purse… she had to retouch one of my nails. according to mariam, she was shaking her head and glaring at me
- had lots of fun
