Amber Alert!

This was such a great weekend! To start off Friday night Jon, Phil and I went to the High Life Lounge to celebrate St Patty's Day and watch UK play UAB. It was a great atmosphere to celebrate the Beer Holiday and the UK victory.

Things got even better on Saturday. As many of you know, I was trying to plan a gathering for Saturday night to celebrate Jon's birthday. Jana responded to the e-mail I sent out and said that she would try to come into town. When I talked to her Saturday morning she was still trying to decide if she could make it. Eventually, she sent me a text message saying she wasn't coming. I told her that was fine and I would try to see her next weekend in Huntington. At about 6pm she called. Here is how the conversation went:

• Boo Mother F'ers Boo
• Booty Booty Booty
• Terandatassup
• Darkness Mother F'er
• PHD
• Ai yai yai
• Chew on That
• I hate Atlanta

We were very camera-happy Saturday night. Here are some pics from the bowling alley:

Jon and Phil know this guy and apparently his girlfriend is Miss Kentucky. Phil had to get a picture with her.

Amberrrr & JC

I thought that the 11th Frame (the bar at the bowling alley) had karaoke on Saturday nights, but it turns out I was wrong. We were all amped for some singin so we decided to head to Squires Tavern. Matt, Jeremy and Brad met up with us at the bar. I had never been to Squires. I was pleased to find out that it is very close to our house. So, of course, shots were a must for the evening. We all sang and drank and had a great time. I unknowingly deleted a good picture I had of Jeremy singing. If I still had it the caption would have been, "JD's the fireman, that's his name." Oh well, here are some of the pictures I didn't delete.

Way to order those shots, Jana!

Amber, Jana & Teran

Phil's diggin up bones. Please, no pictures.

This couple grossed us out all night. And yes, we took pictures.

Teran, Jana, Amber & Jon

Jana and I decided that we are soul mates. Jon looks jealous.

Matt & Amber

Amber & Teran (I told you we were camera-happy)

Megan, as usual, impresses us with her talent.

I think Matt was a little lonely without Kara.

The best part of the night was brought to us by Matt. The karaoke guy announced that the next up to sing was a random person named Timmy. Matt began yelling, "Timmaaay! Timmaaay!" Timmy is the character from South Park in the wheelchair, in case anybody doesn't get it. He kept yelling it and we all kept laughing. Then, out of nowhere, this guy in a wheelchair goes rolling past Matt. For all of us drunken fools, it was hilarious. Matt was so embarrassed, I think he wanted to crawl under the table. Later, Matt went to the other side of the bar to smoke. This is where the wheelchair guy got his revenge. He rolled over Matt's toes! It was all very funny at the time and Matt said that he would actually check my blog to make sure I included this story, so there it is.

DOWNER OF THE WEEKEND: UK lost to U Conn, but we put up a good fight.

Maybe I should have titled this entry "Longest Blog Entry Ever."

The last couple of days have been quite interesting. To start off, yesterday I met Brett after work for a few drinks. Well, a few drinks turned into 5 hours and needless to say I felt like crap today at work. I know Phil and Jana have both talked about this in their blogs, but I can not believe how painful hangovers have become. Just a few years ago, going out on weeknights was a normal way of life. Now, well, I must be getting old.

I might not have been up to par today, but that didn't stop me from going roller skating tonight. Yep, that's right, I had a lovely evening at the Richmond Skate Center. Melissa (a friend from work) takes her kids there. Tonight Bonnie (another friend from work), Adam (Bonnie's friend), Rodney (Melissa's brother), and I joined in on the fun.

I am very proud to announce that Dixie has finally mastered the "roll over" command. Jon and I have been working on this for months. Let me tell ya, this dog is a stubborn bitch. She only does what she wants to do, when she wants to do it. I wonder where she learned that? Anyhow, when I got home from work today Jon said he had something to show me. Here it is.

Every once in a while I get the urge to have a few drinks and go dancing. Usually when the mood hits I am joined by Teran and Brett for an evening of rump shakin. This weekend we were pleasantly joined by Jon (Gasp) and Branannah. Yes that's right, there was a rare appearance by the notorious Branannah.
