And while you're at it, why don't you go ahead and install some kind of password-protected text messaging function on my phone. Because seriously? I have no business texting after midnight. I mean, I'd wager that MOST people have no business texting after midnight (don't you suppose that most of the posts on Texts From Last Night were sent in the wee hours? I totally do.)
So here's the deal...on Friday night, mah mans and I were invited over to our friends Renee & Romo's house for a feast of chicken wings, corn, and lots and lots of cocktails. Whilst we were sitting on the patio, snacking on some appetizers and getting progressively louder and more annoying to the neighbors, we decided to call Shaz to come over and join the funtivities. She showed up a bit later and we tucked into the eats.
The weather was absolutely perfect outside, so our base of operations for the evening was centered on the backyard. When it got chilly, Romo built us a nice lil' fire in the chiminea. There's nothing much better in my book than drinking cocktails outside on a nice day, but when you throw in a fire and the whole staring-vacantly-into-the-flames thing? Well, that just takes the awesome to a whole 'notha level right there.
The next several hours were a bit of a blur, truthfully. I know I talked Renee into busting out the Jack LaLanne power juicer so I could have fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice for an endless number of Salty Dogs. I'm pretty sure I also tried to steal her cat Choco and I can't be certain, but I think Jay may have challenged someone to a wrestling match. Oh, and there were tequila shots. Many tequila shots. I know this because I woke up the next morning with ridiculous Nadia Suleman/Angelina Jolie lips - damn you, salt and limes!
At some point, the three of us chickadees rolled inside to watch a HILARIOUS video according to Renee. I can't really confirm the validity of her proclamation, as I fell asleep almost immediately. I can usually stay up good and late, but put me in a comfortable chair and I'm Narcoleptic Nancy. Out like a light. Gone nigh-nigh and stuff.
I have no idea how long I'd been out when I woke up to find Renee hustlin' around the house and preparing the guest room for Jay and I - but I do know Shaz was nowhere to be found. So apparently, I felt a little textery was in order. The next morning I found this lovely text exchange on my phone:
Me: What the...? You left?!
Shaz: Sorry, it seemed like the party was winding down...also tired.
Me: Whatevs...you're gonna be up for tomorrow, though, right??? [for our girl Jodles' wedding, natch]
Shaz: Hells yeah!
Me: That's what I wanted to hear! We're gonna turn it up!!
Shaz: Looking forward to it!!
Me: F*ck yeah! Do you want to carpool over? I'll totes pick you up. If you want and stuff.
Shaz: That would be super awesome!
Me: No, YOU are super awesome!
Shaz: No, YOU are!
Me: Mutual admiration society, yo! [bonus points for spelling correctly under the influence, right?]
Great giddygods. I'm surprised my exclamation key still WORKS after that. I'm obnoxious. Which is sorta made up for by the fact that I'm totally fun at parties. Just keep me away from the comfy furniture.
