home again

so yes. as you can see from the random posts, it was an entertaining weekend.

we got a late start out on friday (no surprise) and then got stuck in a hellacious rainstorm. and then road construction. and then a storm and construction. needless to say, it took us 5.5 hrs to get there, when it should have taken 3 at very most. but in typical shainna fashion, we had jello shots waiting at the door. so it was all ok.

we went to the zoo saturday (of which i will upload pics from the Strangers camera at a later time). it was hot and muggy and had rained all morning, so the animals weren't that exciting. we have many photos of them sleeping. i loved the red panda and the penguins and the polar bears. they at least, were active. and i pet a goat even though i hate goats. (now that's an andrea as a child story) i would like to go back to the zoo when there is more time and its not so hot and damp.

we got all dressed up and went to a hibachi so shainna could get a drink in a geisha glass and a pineapple on fire. i support any birthday that involves fire and spinning knives.
and then we went to the bar. oh the bar. look at this photo. one of the people in this picture is semi-sober and the other had been drinking since before dinner. guess which.

i will give you a hint. i had to drive the car home. but let me tell you i had an amazing drink that was like a s'more. it even had tiny marshmallows in it. yum x12.

once everyone managed to roll out of bed today we went to the most wonderful mall. where shainna showed me the most wonderful store. everything was arranged in RAINBOW ORDER. do you even know how much that made my batshit crazy heart happy? i now demand every store be put in rainbow order, for convenience. the end.

and now the dog and i are watching tv in our pjs while the stranger works on my car. it started making some not so pretty sounds. the fact that he can take care of these things is one of a milliondy reasons i keep him around.

it has been a very very very good weekend. other than when i beat the stranger up in my sleep. even though i think it's funny. but dont tell him. haha

i hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
