This weekend was just what the doctor ordered. I got to spend the whole weekend with the wife I barely get to see during the week and also got to hang out with the Charlotte crew for the back half. Saturday, Lauren and I stayed in Cola so that she could get her hair appointment in. Now when she showed me pictures of what she wanted done and how short it was I thought that was ok. When she got to the salon they mentioned the locks for love program and from the planned hair cut she would just have to take off an addition inch or two for her hair to go to the program. She decided to go for it and the result was a chin length cut that everyone over the weekend gushed about. She looks very cute in it, but hell she is my wife, I would find her beautiful in most situations! She hasn’t quite got used to the length as in the shower she is still trying to wash 10 more inches of hair, so that’s pretty funny. While we were in Cola we decided to stop in a local furniture shop that is always advertising. We spent about an hour in the place and when we were about to leave saw a bedroom set that we liked. The salesperson stated that it was on a clearance list and we would have to act quickly as she was not sure if there were any King sets left. For 1700 bucks we landed an all wood King size panel sleigh bed, mirror dresser, tall dresser and 2 night stands. Originally slated at around 5k we found this to be one hell of a deal, we get it on Wednesday and are quite excited. After the hair salon we headed to Charlotte to join in the festivities that were Wha’s birthday weekend. You can read about Saturday night on his blog, it was fun to hang out with my cousin throughout the weekend.
On Sunday everything was overcast so Lauren and I headed to the mall and quickly realized that, similar to King Of Prussia Mall, we were poor in comparison to what was being sold at the mall. It was fun to watch the rich people peddle around in their vanity and glamour though. If you want to know how bad the place was, I saw a oscillating sprinkler for 80 bucks and a garden hose for 90, no gadgets no nothing just some special enduro crap. For lunch a bunch of us headed to McAllisters deli where the joke of the weekend was established. Now McAllisters has a sandwich with melted swiss , olive mash ham and salami on toasted muffaletta bread. Before the sandwiches arrived we were discussing what we ordered and I stated that I ordered the muff sandwich and that is was an open faced roast beef sandwich with mayo on it. Needless to say the wife didn’t like the joke much but the guys were reeling and mentioning muff sandwiches for the rest of the weekend.
Sunday night everyone got back together and headed to PF Chang’s, and had A BLAST!! I would say that the hour wait for a table to seat eight was a bad thing but that got everyone warmed up in conversation for the meal. When we got in the restaurant it was all over in terms of manners and etiquette. After multiple sight gags with chop sticks and the establishment of the word “Taint” as the trigger word for the night we put in our orders. When all the food came out the plates were passed and conversation continued. About midway through the meal I realized that my dish had never made it to the table. We signaled our waitress, who was a very good sport and laughed along with us through the night, and asked what had happened to the plate. She returned and stated that due to the lack of a spoon, the initial plate was not delivered by one of her coworkers. The coworker assumed that our waitress was taking care of the spoon issue and returned the dish to the kitchen. To this my sarcasmo mode kicked in as I stated “So what you are telling me is that one dish, that was lacking a spoon, was not delivered to a table that had 7 plates, each with a spoon or two?” This of course prompted a quizzical look from the waitress and was quickly followed by a “good point”. My dish, being Kung Pow Chicken, was delivered and the hot pepper eating contest ensued with Wha crying from the heat by the end of it. We lined Wha up with a birthday cake and he got some good cake in the face pictures. On the way out Wha decided to gallop around the parking lot. While he galloped, we left. We came back around and he had made his way to the other side of the 6 lane road. He galloped his way to the parking lot we ended up in and everyone was in stitches when he arrived. We all retired to Wha and Poot’s apt and proceeded to play darts and finish off the SECOND HANDLE OF JACK DANIELS IN THE WEEKEND (20 and 21 in the series)! During the darts and drinking Jessie decided that I needed a lesson in “spanking”. This led to Jessie bending over in front of me for practice, which in turn led to Poot smacking the hell out of her ass. As she reeled in pain she gave poot a nut check. As poot went down he hit me with a jack and ginger in hand and that ended up on Jessies leg. Wha offered to kiss Jessies ass and in turn bit it. I guess it was pretty hard as he was given a prompt nut check as well. So now the place looks like a crime scene with people in pain all over the place and others laughing their asses off. After all that Jessie headed home and upon leaving wha mentioned that she was probably going to be pulled over by a cop or something as she wreaked of Jack and was walking weird due to the ass attacks she endured. No more than 10 minutes later she called to inform us that she hit a checkpoint but that she had made it through.
Monday was the 4th of course and what better way to spend that than on the lake with some beer, some food, some classic rock and some good friends. 4 and a half hours on lake wylie was great. We just hung out on the well populated sand bar and floated about while drinking and laughing it up. After the lake we came back home and Lauren and I headed back down to Cola. We had a blast of a weekend and we hope that Wha had a great birthday. Seeing all those friends was a ton of fun and it only further enforced that it’s only an hour and a half away! I really do miss hanging out with the college friends, and I forgot how nutty Jessie, aka pretty pretty princess aka my long lost sister, is! Now I get to enjoy having my parents around this week while I work Tuesday, then have Wed and Thurs off, then go back to work Friday and work the weekend. Oh well, enjoy it while I can!
