I barely had time to eat, let alone sleep this weekend. I am still worn out. For the first time, I smelled coffee and wanted some! I don't even like coffee. I poured myself a cup and was debating over regular or hazelnut creamer. I came to the conclusion it didn't matter which I choose I would still be gagging this shit down. That's when I saw it. The box of hot chocolate. Hot chocolate? Hot chocolate! But that was too sweet! So, I did what anyone would do. I used the packet of hot chocolate as creamer so now I have a yummy coffee that tastes like it could have came from Starbucks, only it didn't cost me $6.89!!!!
YAY! I know I've said it before. I'm a genius! They should promote me!

The Time I Almost Got to Party with Smash Mouth (Part 2)

If you are new, tune in here to read the first part of this, I-have-no-idea-how-many-parts mantra of mine.
So where are we at?
- I was 16
- Going into my Freshman year of college
- Just got my belly button pierced without my Mom's approval
- AND I told her
- She agreed to let me go to Santa Rosa to "hang out" with Smash Mouth under the following conditions:
- Sara's cousin would be there
- No drinking (HA! Okay, Mom)
- I call her every few hours to check in (I love my Mom and her checking in!)
We are driving to Santa Rosa. Woot! Woot!
I was driving with 3 pot heads, well they weren't entirely pot heads, they smoked a lot, but not.. okay, they were pot heads. I never smoked pot, at least, I didn't want too because I was trying out for volleyball, and I couldn't confirm, but didn't know if they drug tested.
We were, oh I don't know, 2 1/2 hours away from home when EVERYTHING started coming out the closet.
There was no Jack (The male cousin). Wait, there was a Jack, but he certainly didn't know where we were going, who we would be with, and he never made any plans to meet us there.
Uh! Nice that they told me this NOW! I mean, that was one of the only reasons I felt safe enough to want to go. In fact, looking back I probably would not have even THOUGHT about going had it not been for that one piece of information.
But what could I do? I was 2 1/2 hours away from home, I was 16, and I had no way back home. I had NO CHOICE, I had to go along with it. I suppose I could have called my Mom, sucked in my pride and ruined every one's trip. I didn't want that on my shoulders, and I didn't want to worry anyone. So what did I do? I kept my big fucking mouth SHUT!
We get to the hotel. This is it? You mean to tell me that we honestly are expected to believe Smash Mouth is going to be staying in this hotel? This Best Western style hotel. Yay right! you three have been had. Like I said before, I'm just along for the ride. That, was exactly when I knew, we would not be meeting Smash Mouth, we would not be getting tickets, and I highly doubt that we would even be doing anything like what the movies show.
I was kind of expecting a RAVE. Dangerous thing I was. I mean, while I didn't want to participate in any of it. I wanted to see it like in the movies, the girl snorting coke in the bathroom, the threesome going on in the bedroom, the hookah in the living room, and the loud music, bright colors, and glow sticks! You can't forget about the glow sticks. My dream were shattered. My heart was crushed.
They had been taken for by Ted and James, but I was taken for by them. You live you learn, right? I kept telling myself that if at any time I felt uncomfortable I would just retreat to my room and if they felt like having sex with them, they could damn well take it to THEIR room, not to the one we were all sharing.
They finally got a hold of Ted and James and we made arrangements to meet with them later. Not before Ted weaseled his way over to our hotel room, because he was like, the very next one over. Creepy! I didn't see what Katrina saw in Ted. From what I could tell he had acne scars, looked too hold, THOUGHT (meaning he thought he was, but he really wasn't) he was a smooth talker, AND thought he was someone important. He wasn't and I saw through his fake facade. My people skills proved him to be, as Katrina had said, harmless. That doesn't mean he wasn't trying to weasel his way into her pants.
Later that night I had the pleasure of meeting yummy eye candy, I-wish-you-would-try-to-jump-into-my-pants James. He was the tall dark and handsome type. 6'2", jet black hair, broad shoulders, blue hypnotizing eyes, washboard abs, and a British accent. The British accent had me sold. Oh he was yummy. I only wish he wasn't so interested in the slutty red head, Jackie. UGH! Men and their poor taste. I got over it quick! They would never see him again, probably never talk to him again, and I didn't want to get laid that bad. Good luck, my friend.
I of course was the first to suggest going to the pool. I wanted to show off my big boobs, and (at the time) rockin' body. I had already gotten a peak at Jackie's stomach rolls on the car ride there, and in the hotel room while she was changing. I don't think he would be impressed. I win! Bitches are scandalous. The things us women do for attention.
We hung out in the pool, got yelled out from an old man off of the balcony. Apparently we woke him up. He called the hotel staff shortly after. We were kicked out of the pool, I guess that makes it the second pool I've been kicked out of.
With nothing else to do, and no where to go, since they were entertaining minors (I still maintained my age of 16) we went back to our rooms to clean up and then met back up again (It was probably midnight when we saw them again, a whopping 30 minutes of non communication).
I of course, maintained my end of the bargain by calling my mom and checking in. If I didn't she would know something was up, and I was trying to establish trust here. Word of the wise, checking in is not a bad thing. I never felt childish for checking in, and I knew that my Mom loved and cared for me. THAT is why she needed to hear my voice when I was away. She needed to hear I was raped and abandoned in an alley somewhere. Which little did she know at the time, very well could have happened on this stupid trip! As I said before, I had been had. But, I should have known better!
We went to their "Roady" bus. It wasn't that bad. In fact, coming from someone who had never seen a tour bus or Roady bus before, it looked about like I expected it. Bigger on the inside that what it appeared on the outside. There was even this "lounge" area in the back. Oh and beds! Oh many times did I picture James throwing me down on that bed during the next hour or so? I'm willing to bet, a lot. Us yougin' are horny little things.
We sat in the lounge area and they offered us vodka. PERFECT! I love vodka! There was a catch? They had nothing to mix it with.
"You got ice?"
"Yea."
"Lemon?"
"No."
"Lime?"
"No."
What the hell is wrong with these people. Either they are incredibly stupid in the art of seduction or incredibly smart. I still vote stupid.
"Then vodka and ice it is."
Myself and the boys were the only ones drinking. No one else was capable of stomaching straight vodka. PUSSIES! I do love the taste of vodka, good vodka that is and they were definitely giving my good vodka. My first drink lasted a whole 10 seconds. Ted then felt compelled to point out this was a "sipping" vodka, and not meant for shots.

I am running out of time to write this. Until next time.

My Problem With Drinkers...

...is that even THEY don't their drink.
I have posted two pictures of drinks today. The one on the left is a Cuba Libre.
The one on the right is a Cape Cod, not to be confused for a Cape Codder; who is someone that is from Cape Cod. Please don't come to my bar and order a Cape Codder, I will laugh at you. I can't help it.
Without using Google, can anyone tell me what these drinks are? Probably not, because your bartender is an ass jockey and let's you get away with stupid shit. OR your bartender is an ass jockey and has no idea what he or she is doing.
A Cuba Libre is a Rum & Coke WITH a lime. What does this mean? This means, that if you come to my bar and order a Rum & Coke, you will NOT get a lime. So, when I hand you your drink and you then ask where your lime is, I will correct you. It goes something think this:
Customer: "Yes, a rum and coke please."
Me: "Of course, so how is your evening going so far?"
Customer: "Great."
*hand customer drink*
Me: "Do anything special?"
Customer: "No, but... umm..." *gives me the 'you're a fucking moron' look* "Can I... Can I get a lime?"
Me: "OH! So, you wanted a Cuba Libre."
Customer: "No, I'm not from Cuba."
Me: "No, the drink. A Cuba Libre is a Rum & Coke with lime. A Rum & Coke doesn't come with lime."
Customer: "OH! I did not know that."
Me: *as nicely as I can muster* "You learn something new every day. Take care."
...
A Cape Cod? What the hell is a Cape Cod? A Cape Cod is a Vodka & Cranberry juice WITH a lime. A Vodka Cranberry (most people leave out the AND) does NOT come with a lime.
So maybe the next time you go to that bar, where that ass jockey bartender of yours works, you will correct him when you order your drink. Then, maybe that ass jockey will start doing shit right and quit ruining for the rest of us!

Bottoms Up!
Imagine… You are next to the pool drinking an iced cold beverage, in a frosted glass, on a hot day of Summer. You look at your drink and notice that there is only one drink left. Do you finish it?
I never (and I emphasize ‘never’) drink the last of anything. It does not matter if my lips were the only lips to touch the drink, I still cannot do it. It’s purely mental; all I can imagine is the salvia/food concoction that might have managed to make its way to the bottom of that drink and the thought of consumption? No way!
So the next time you peer at your drink and it’s almost to the bottom, are you going to think twice about taking that last final sip?
