good friends, good parties

this last weekend was one of parties. martini party and the ice off banquet = lots of crazy fun. kt and i left for maple lake and d's cabin thursday afternoon and after a trip to the liquor store (martini's in a box?! no way!!!). i had the big ass watermelon in the back seat and all the stuff i needed for an enjoyable weekend, except warm clothes of course. who looks to see that it was going to be 60s this weekend and that i should grab some warm clothes?

we arrived at the cabin to j and billy's greeting of "the martini queen is here! the martini queen is here!" yay! kt and i set to work cutting up the insides of the bomb, it was quite hillarious, since we had no idea what we were doing. the rest of the night concluded with a movie, lots of fun, playing dirty tricks on danielle, consumption of the watermelon bomb and d threatening to whip me with her belt, which i told her she could if i could take it off of her. more laughter.

that morning, d woke up to realize her underwear was scattered everywhere in the tree. kt and i order breakfast in bed, which billy wouldn't get for us, but kept trying to temp us with, but juan eventually did! then we called upstairs to amanda on my cell phone to get drinks, which they brought down screwdrivers instead. ick.

then we stupidly (well, not stupidly...just...i don't know) went tubing. it was cold. but it was fun just the same. we all want the shirt that says "tuber." on the front. hahaa! fun word.

from d's i headed the the g parents to eat and watch the pga tour with g pa. i think they wanted me to stay longer...i felt guilty. but i had to head to bad medicine! got to bad medicine at 8ish and then watched a movie with squeak...i don't like the pianist as much as i thought i would. too much killing and reminded me too much of mathausen.

next morning we woke, showered and headed across the lake for decorating for the banquet. let me say this: i will be hiring us for our next big event. the all over randomness of crepe paper streamers and balloons was wonderful! my aunt, uncle and squeak's brother (the ice off king) all came over eventually and we ate good food, crowned the king and then sent his helmet crown (with sparklers attached) on fire. it was real good fun. then we drank and had lots of laughs, brough the king on a trip around the lake, complete with helmet and pitchfork. we got lots of stares, but would have had more if the weather would have been nice! best line of the night: ice off king to his mom, "kingly procreation!" when he meant, "kingly proclamation!" it was great.

at 11 pm: saunaing and dives into the freezing cold water with the king and friend. the stars were amazing and the sauna felt wonderful!

the next day i came home, to boring btown. but it shouldn't be boring much longer...i'm hitting up tonight with the girls!

i was doing so good with eating well until this weekend. and then i did so well yesterday...and then i ate lunch today. it think i need to go grocery shopping...o well, today will be my one day off i guess. i need better choices in my fridge...i feel gross now! running tonight.

and that's it....back to my laminating....

happy bday to hannah banana and nicole!
