it ends tonight....

UGH. CRAZY WEEKEND.

it's so great that yusef has passed on the 'car drama' torch to me... i finally understood a little bit of what he's been dealing with for the past year....

yeah, so apparently the deer/headlight damage from december was a bigger deal than i thought. i don't handle rejection very well in any case, but having a big fat sticker on the front of my beautiful car could very well make me cry... depending on how long it stays up there. speaking of stickers, i find it ironic that i drove a car with over twenty stickers on it for seven years, but suddenly having THREE STICKERS on my car is too many to pass inspection. also, i hate anything involving tires, but i knew this from several years ago.

had a hot lunch date on friday with tim. love it. some people are so geniunely kind, you feel better just being around them. worked friday night, and enjoyed the rare treat of an empty house friday night with my darlings. saturday i headed down to the 'burg for granddad's 85th birthday extravaganza. THOUGHT the car headlight drama was done, but of course my life never works out that easily. after a crazy wild birthday party, ashlie, phil, and i headed down to staunton so i could see their happy home before hitting the wild town of staunton. (is this the study?? hehe)... i must say, the more i get to know phil the more i truly like him. very nice guy, and it's cool that he's cool about ashlie and i having our wild nights out. i think he thinks i'm crazy, but that's nothing new. :)

so then the staunton insanity began. for a hot second i thought i was going to have a classic courtney moment of passing out in public (stress or too much birthday fun? not sure)... but luckily the sickness passed and a billion drinks/shots later the fun REALLY began. ashlie, wendy, and i proved that we can bring the fun like no other... hehehehehe. got to see BRB-B and hickey, which is always a blast. hehehe. and i actually DANCED. to country music. ahhh walking barefoot in staunton... classic. the party later relocated to the maxi-pad, where ashlie and i continued to bring the fun. "press one if you want your pants. press two if you want me to shove them under the door..."

there are *literally* so many hilarious moments from saturday night there would be no POSSIBLE way for me to even scrape the surface. luckily wendy took pictures. can't wait.!! even more luckily, i don't see lucho til thursday, so hopefully the phone harassment will be forgotten by then.

sunday was full recovering... (ashlie, is this 1962??? c'mon!!!) then on to toni's surprise birthday party in harrisonburg. got to catch up with shannon!! and everyone from the station. good times. :) went to see a late showing of '8 below' and i must say i really enjoyed it. sunday was another late night, leaving me tired and cranky on monday and entirely NOT prepared to deal with the CRAP that is getting one's car inspected in a town where tire salesmen have entirely too much time on their hands. GROSS.

so what did we learn this weekend?

many things. more on this soon.

"maybe it's best you leave me alone.
a weight has lifted on this evening,
i give the final blow.
when darkness turns to light,
it ends tonight, it ends tonight.
just a little insight
won't make this right.
it's too late to fight.
it ends tonight."
