409 Bottles of Beer on the Wall

So last weekend was the big weekend for me and the cousins'. We cashed in our Christmas gift (a house in the Poconos for the weekend) and it was awesome. There was snowmobiling, games on the Wii, hot tubbin', talking and laughing, dancing, card playing...and oh yeah, lots of drinking!

The final tally for 13 people for 2 nights was (and no I am not exaggerating):

409 assorted bottles and cans of beer

1 bottle of Absolut

1/2 bottle of Makers Mark

6 bottles of white wine to make Sangria (which also include Peach Schnapps)

and whatever Michael used to make his Manhattan's with

That's just wrong!!! And somehow there wasn't even a single hangover, but days later I am still exhausted! But it was all in good fun!

Bring it on!

Neither rain nor hail nor sleet nor snow nor heat of day nor dark of night shall keep us from cousins' weekend!

Horrific

I just got back from seeing Jumper with Rachel. We want our money back, along with the 90 minutes we lost of our lives.

All Kinds of Awesome

The new Knight Rider last night was so cool! First of all, I can't believe its been 25 years since the Hoff was driving around in a talking Trans Am looking all cool and Hoff-like, but this new car kicked ass! Watching KITT disguise itself was just way too cool! I was also pleasantly surprised that I liked the new Michael, I'm usually not a big fan of remakes--for example Miami Vice was just too frightening for words! The only thing that made me a little sad was to know that Val Kilmer's career is at the point where he is playing the role of a talking car--yikes!

Not So Bad

I don't like Valentine's Day. I never have. Basically, its just a day where florists jack up the price of flowers, restaurants jack up the price of food and loved ones are supposed to be extra nice to you. Maybe we should all just try to be nice every day?
But this year was a little different. Since today is our one year mark to closing on the house (where does the time go?) and Frankie and I haven't went out on a Valentine's Day ever--12 years to be exact--he decided to take off from work and take me out to dinner, and it was sweet and thoughtful. What made it really nice was that we weren't surrounded by other couples being all mushy. It was tables full of families, tables full of friends, and next to us a mother having a nice dinner with her son who was about 9. The restaurant was full of laughter and happy people. It was really sweet and gave me a different perspective on what is usually a day I dread. Don't get me wrong I won't be walking around next year with a red turtleneck and a heart pin on my jacket, but it might be something nice to do say every 12 years or so. After dinner we headed over to Kenny and Maria's to crack open a bottle of champagne to celebrate the day and our one year anniversary of us being neighbors. All in all, a lovely day.
