Game night, church, lost keys, dinner, lost keys, movies, lost keys, car alarm, drinks, lost keys, mucinex, stolen car & birthday cake (all in that order)

(Wow, I must say - I have outdone myself with that title.  But just you wait, you're gonna hear allll about it...)  (AND I have somehow made the back of the text a color...I can't turn it off...hmph...)

Some of the boys in the motorcycle gang had another game night Saturday at Brian & Shauna's.   This really is the craziest thing I have ever seen.  They are NOT playing around.

 And what chick in her right mind wants to hang out with that all night?  Not this chick.  Shauna & I tried to plan a girls night last time the boys had game night but it all fell apart.  We said to hell with it this time - her & I will just hang out.  Much simplier...plus we know we like each other...  (Up until Saturday afternoon I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to even go.  I was really, really sick.  But sleeping 11 hours the night before & 3 hours after work on Friday helped tremendously!)  One of the guys comes from Illinois (!) & he brought his wifey this time.  Since Shauna & I are sooo nice, we let her hang out with us.

Here's how our night went:

Shauna has recently started going to church on Saturday nights at Northside.  She hated to get out of that habit so she asked Joni & I to join her.   We went to church on Charlestown Road at 4 pm.  It was interesting & different.  (Good for me I'm not a gal who can't handle change (love you Ginmommy & Tracey...)) so I just kinda went with the flow.  It was different than any church I'd been too.  Eh, different isn't always a bad thing...it's just different.  When we left church, Shauna couldn't find her keys.  She digs frantically through her bag & shrieks, "I can't find my keys!"  I ignore her because I'm used to this behavior from her.  She always finds them...

Shauna loves TGI Fridays but her hubby won't go there with her so she we decided we'd go over to Fourth Street to eat dinner.  (Mind you, this was 6:00 on a Saturday evening.  It was dead there...)  We had a fun dinner & decided to see a movie.  I want to see the new Tom Cruise Mission Impossible movie but the time it was showing didn't fit into our schedule.  We decided to see a tough chick flick.  We left Fourth street & headed back to right across the street from where we started our night at church.  We saw Haywire.  Awful.  I don't recommend it.  We left the movies around 9:30 (after Shauna 'lost her keys' & searched frantically for them...).  As we got into the car, she said, "Hurry up!  Shut your doors."  UHM, okay?  There were some people walking towards us with hooded sweatshirts on with the hoods up.  She said, "You just never know!"  Which is totally true.  Then I smarted off, "My door's not even locked!"  She informed me it was.  Of course, I didn't believe her so I reached up & unlocked it.  Turns out, she was right.  And turns out, it set off the car alarm.  The lights started flashing & the horn started honking.  And we couldn't figure out how to make it stop.  Talk about drawing attention from the hooded sweatshirt people.  They hurriedly got into their vehicle & left.  (I'm sure they thought we were the crazy ones...)

We decided to run over to Tumbleweed to have a drink. (Yes, we realize the irony that we started in church & ended up at the bar.  No worries, we googled 'what the bible says about alcohol'.  (God Bless the internet.)  It basically says that drunkiness is bad...we did NOT get drunk...) That place was uber dead, but all the servers walking past us were really nice & friendly.  We sat there long enough for them to start washing everything around us so we took the hint & decided to leave.

 We headed BACK across the street to Meijer (after Shauna found her keys) to get B-rad a birthday cake & me some Mucinex.  I still had my cough, & I knew there was stuff in my chest but I just couldn't get it out.  Gag.  

I had started teasing Shauna about losing her keys.  I kept chastising her by saying, "If you would put the keys in the same spot every time, you wouldn't have this problem!"  As she had her bag laying on the ground searching she screamed at me, "I DO!"  My response, "Obviously you don't or you wouldn't have this problem."  She only took her keys into Meijer so she was sure not to lose them.  Smart move... 

We stopped at the gas station to get Shauna cigarettes.  I also barked at her to get me some water so I could take my Mucinex horse pill.  Joni was riding up front & said, "Wouldn't it be funny if we drove off in her car?"  I said, "Uh YEA it would!"  So Joni climbed over the console & we waited for Shauna to turn around to see us...& we backed out.  She ran out the door screaming, "YOU WHORES!" but we just laughed & rode around the parking lot.  Juvenile, maybe...funny, yes!

Shauna wrote on B-rad's cake when we got back to her house.

And look at the candles Joni found for him at Meijer.  Nothing is too good for my Princess.

 There were only 6 (I wasn't buying 6 packs!) & they looked like little magic wands.

We lit the candles & started singing.  And all the guys looked at us like we were crazy.  They were pernonin noobs so no one really paid us any attention.  Punks.
