I'll be walking with a cane by 33!

I’ve been friends with the awesome photog BAC even longer than I’ve been friends with SJ (probably because HE didn’t wear some funky, hippy-print shirt to HIS job interview!) In the years we’ve been friends, BAC and I have gotten into a considerable amount of trouble together. It got to the point where every time he got yelled at by his girlfriend, I had been somehow involved. (But she married him, so it couldn’t have been that bad, right?)

That time we had a little too much to drink and went to my apartment to sober up and he didn’t get home until 3 a.m. and his girlfriend drove around town to make sure he was OK? Yeah, I had something to do with that. That time he said he was going out for one drink and was out for four hours? Yes, that was with me. Like I said, plenty of trouble.

Which is why last night was so ironic. I helped BAC with a big project for work this week… even staying in his office until midnight (on a school night!) to work on it. So he promised me a drink or two in thanks (he’s also paying me, like, $5,000 for my help… or maybe he said $5). Last night, the PH and I met BAC at the sports bar we used to frequent all the time, had some drinks, ordered up some great buffalo wings and kicked back… for a whole two hours.

Three years ago, we would have closed the place down on a Thursday night. Yesterday, the clock hit 7:30 and I was yawning and yearning to get home to my comfy couch. We talked a good game and brought up those crazy times from our youth. But, in the end, getting into my pajamas at 8 p.m. won out. Apparently, I’m an old lady at 30.

Let me start off by saying I don't know what KAT is talking about! She must be mixing me up with another photographer...maybe B.T. from the BP and their crazy late night adventures.

ohhh - KAT and BT were a hot item for a while.

ask her how she got all of her cavities!

How has the cavity story never made it onto our blog?!? It's a classic!

It's yours if you want it, SJ, but otherwise I will be typing that one up for next week.

I'm giggling just thinking about it!

If you think you feel old now, just wait until you have kids! You'll be jealous of their 7pm bedtime!

I also wanted to mention another blog I read on occassion: http://mom2my6pack.blogspot.com/
this woman has 6 kids and how she keeps herself sane is beyond me!

She's also the seller of this ebay item: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130144061675&ru=http%25
which had me near tears from laughing so hard!
