Tandem bikes, hairbrushes, the Cha Cha Slide, and lots of Tylenol

What a great weekend. Tons of activity but tons of fun as well.
Let's see we'll start with Thursday. Thursday Linds and I went out with Kaci and Scott for drinks at The Trailhead. We ended up going through 4 pitchers. I was a little tipsy I have to say. It was funny cause we left by 10:30 cause we were like wow it's late. Then I was thinking back to the Ville and how that used to be our time to finally start walking to the bars on Thursdays! I took a couple tylenol before going to work the next morning because I wasn't really feeling 100% to be running around with the kids all day!
Friday morning of course the roads and stuff are bad because it snowed Thursday night (luckily this is only like the 3rd time it's snowed here). So I went down to the car like 10 minutes early because I knew it would take longer. Well I get to the car and I realize that my ice scraper is actually in my real car and I have nothing in the rental car. So I try to just get the ice to melt but it's taking forever and I don't want to turn the car off and run back to the apartment and find something so I end up using the one thing I have: my hairbrush. I use the handle to release my wipers so I can finally get going before I'm really late. I'm sure I looked ridiculous!
During Show and Tell at work on Friday one of the kids brought a CD. So he was like playing his favorite songs and then he turns on the Cha Cha Slide and the kids are begging me to let them get up and do it. So I'm like ok as long as you keep good space and are appropriate I'll let you. So like 5 of them get up and do it and it was like the cutest thing ever. I wish I could have taped it. When it came to the Cha Cha part they all just rolled their shoulders around and walk foreward and backwards some. It was so funny!
Friday night we were gonna go out with one of Linds's friends but her friend wasn't feeling well. So Liz from work called and wanted to know if we wanted to go see a movie so we went to Pitchers and had a drink with her and her cousin Tammy and then went and saw Rumor Has It at the cheap theatre. It was OK but I wasn't a huge fan. The good thing was it only cost $3 to see it. It was a nice relaxing night though.
Saturday Liz and I decided to go to Tyler's birthday party (Tyler's our boss but really he's just like a co-worker - he works the floor and everything with us of course). He was turning 24 I think. So we went over to the house he shares with his girlfriend. It was bring your own drink so I brought a 6 pack of Bud Light (thinking I wouldn't even get through it - but more on that later). He had a potato bar. Liz and I didn't know what that meant until we got there. It meant that there were tater tots and all these different types of french fries and tons of ketchup. It was so funny. Especially if you know Tyler because he's totally into like organic stuff and tea and all that jazz and then here he is with all these french fries! So we drank there for a while during which thanks to Liz and Tyler's encouragement I finished my whole 6 pack and had 3 shots. During this Tyler has me and Liz and his friend Scott come outside and we all go on a bike ride for like 15 minutes. Tyler has not one but two tandem bikes (as well as 4 other bikes!). It was hilarious and a ton of fun. I actually ended up riding one of them with Tyler when we left to go to the bars. We went to two bars and continued to drink, played some shuffleboard, threw peanuts in each other's drinks, talked, and just had a ton of fun. I started getting really drunk a the end there though. It was good to come home and pass out.
One of Tyler's friends gave me his number and I had to laugh cause we had just been attacking each other with peanuts and I'd been putting handfulls in his cup. After he then gave me his number I had to laugh at how 3rd gradish the whole event seemed! I don't know if I'll be calling him or not but he was nice enough.
So the moral is I love my coworkers and I love Tylenol for making me feel better after torturing myself.
