Cool these engines
Calm these jets
I ask you how hot can it get
And as you wipe off beads of sweat
Slowly you say, "I'm not there yet..."
I know I don't know you
But I want you so bad
Everyone has a secret
But can they keep it
Oh no they can't
Oh my gosh, this weekend was AWESOME! I had so much fun, probably didn't get enough sleep, ate a ton of "bad for me" food, giggled, shopped, danced, sang along... it was just absolutely great!
I got to Shannon's around 5:30ish Friday night and we headed out to Old Chicago for foodage. I totally love Old Chicago, I wish I could get there more because it's just yummy. I really wish I had been more hungry because I so could have gone for some Old Chicago pizza. However, the cheesecake was quite nummy. Aftwards we went to Mall of America so Shan could find herself a cute top for the concert. She ended up with this cute little green and brown polka dot top that is absolutely awesome. Yay to that!
We met up with Amber at Rainbow to buy junk food and then proceeded to the liquor store for, what else, alcohol. Yum!
Friday night was hysterical. Shannon, Amber, Ryan and I played Catch Phrase. We played all night... we turned it into a drinking game, which was even funnier. Then it turned SEXUAL which was HILARIOUS! Oh it was lots of fun.
Friday night was a night for doing lines of crack, smoking the hookah (what is the correct spelling of that?), and roofies. Okay, shall I explain? Probably. First off I called Mom and Dad to find out what's in a black russian. We were talking about the movie The Big Lebowski and how Amber watched it with some friends of hers and turned it into a drinking game where everyone had to drink out of their white russian whenever the word "dude" was said. Anyway, so we were discussing what was in a BLACK russian and I had to call Mom to find out. She was all, "I hope you're not drinking too much" and I said, "No, right now we're just drinking Coke with lime" and somehow Shannon turned it into doing lines of coke, lol. As for the roofies, those are Smarties. I have no idea how we started talking about the date rape drug or why it was funny but for the rest of the weekend as we ate Smarties we referred to them as roofies. This is probably only funny to us.
Finally, for some reason we started talking about "smoking the hookah." Again, no idea where this subject came up but suddenly it's one in the morning and Amber and I are at Wal-mart buying cherry flavored tabacco as Ryan made a homemade hookah back at the apartment. Shannon had already gone to bed and we sat outside "smoking the hookah." Definitely an experience, lol.
On Saturday we woke up and tried to watch Snatch as everyone was getting ready. We went to IKEA, the greatest place on earth, and I bought this cute glass bowl and sand to make center piece for the kitchen table. Then we went BACK to the apartment and while Shannon and Ryan put together their new coffee table (a great IKEA buy) Amber and I watched The Big Lebowski. Nice.
Around 5ish we left for St. Paul and Cosetta's for food. However, when we got there the line for food was out the door and in the freezing cold. We were all starving and didn't feel like standing in that kind of line. So we ended up at the St. Claire Broiler, a yummy little place with great burgers and a great selection of beers. No beer but we all had burgers and it was fantabulous!
Finally the Maroon 5 concert! The Thrills, the opening band, we pretty good although they didn't have that kind of energy that you look for in a good concert. The lead singer was pretty good, though, and it was an okay opening act.
Maroon 5 was AMAZING! They have such great energy and it was SO MUCH FUN to actually get to see them close up! They did all the songs from their CD and played a few new ones. It was just awesome, they were so good and I am IN LOVE, hehe. I had so much fun and I was so glad to get to go with Shannon and Amber. Yay Maroon 5!!
Afterwards we stopped at McDonald's so Amber could get ice cream and then Taco Bell for Shan and me. Finally we went back to the apartment to watch Mean Girls before bed.
All in all a totally fantastic weekend! Thanks to Shan, Amber, and Ryan for a great weekend and we definitely need to do it again REALLY REALLY SOON!
Anyway, I am now in search of food. More soon!!
