Camilles and Made of Honor (NOT!)

So tonight I had another Girl's Night Out (as you know from the previous post). There were 7 of us tonight, and basically it was a bunch of girlies from my sisters' small group and me. I was the 7th wheel. Just kidding, I love all the girls we went with and personally knew over half of the ladies since I was young (alright so two were my sisters, but I still knew them!)

Anyway... so we started our evening off at a local eatery, Camille's. I had a turkey deluxe sandwich with a side of chips and salsa. The food was yummy as always, and we had good conversation over dinner.

After dinner we headed to the movie, Made of Honor. Going off of what we had seen in the previews we thought this would be a cute movie that rivaled the movie My Best Friend's Wedding. We were SO wrong! The movie was horrible!! Don't get me wrong, the plot, or rather the idea of the plot was a good idea, but all the little details were ridiculous! There was so much language, and even worse sexual inuendos that it was hard to focus on the "cuteness" of the storyline. Granted, Patrick Dempsey was as scrumptious looking as always, but it was definitely not the movie to go see with a bunch of girls from CHURCH! If I'd known it was going to be so "ick" I would have saved my six bucks and used it for a coffee and ice cream later. Bottom line: Highly Disappointing. I give it half a star. Go rent My Best Friend's Wedding instead... you'll save $5.

Well, that's it for now. I better get some shut eye or I'll be SLEEP WALKING tomorrow during the Race.

Girl's Night

It never fails...those two words=FUN!
A small group of us went out to eat at Chili's which was pretty yummy, but the table talk was the most enjoyable part in my opinion. It was a way for us to get to know eachother better, or in some cases reconnect.
After we ate we went over to the house of one of the guys from church. They were having a Rock Band extravaganza. For those of you who don't know what Rock Band is....look it up. Basically it's a glorified Guitar Hero. You have two guitar players, a singer, and a drummer. To protect those involved I will withhold names, but I will just simply say that there were costumes involved, and it was crazy hilarious!! Some images will forever be burned in my brain.... which is both good and bad...*shudder*.
After that the girls left and made our last stop. Our group stopped over to another one of the girl's houses and we ate some dessert and talked. Again...to protect the innocent I am withholding names, and I really just can't even say what we talked about, but let's just say it was quite informative.....
Well, the fun is over.... I need to get ready so I can go and study. I need to hit the notes/books hard today and tomorrow, and then I should be good. Tonight I'm babysitting for four of my favorite kiddos. I've missed them all since I've been so busy with school, so it will be good to spend some time with them, as well as get a little extra spending money for vacation. 4 weeks!!! I can't wait!!
OH...did I tell you I ordered my new camera?? I can't remember if I did or not. It should hopefully come this next week. I'll take some pictures and post them once I get it. We'll compare and contrast.
Alright, I really have to go and get ready now. I'll be back at some point later this weekend I'm sure.
Oh, and P.S.-- I'm still fighting this cold...but atleast I still have my voice. That's quite an accomplishment. :)
Until.........................................

Girl's Night Out

You gotta love a good girl's night out... that is unless you're a guy I suppose.
Robin, Ashley and I went out to eat at Granite city tonight (yum!), followed by an hour at Panera drinking some warm beverages to waste time before our movie. We went to see 27 Dresses. It was pretty good. We had a few laughs, and the story was enjoyable. The theatre was PACKED! It was ridiculous. And of course one of the most obnoxious people had to come sit by me. It's like I have flypaper on me, and the most annoying people are attracted to it. This older gentleman and his wife were the flies tonight. He sat next to me, and of course me being the person that needs personal space, I asked him if it would be ok with him if I put the arm rest down. His wife must have been a little hard of hearing because when I put the armrest down she piped in and told her husband, "What if she didn't want the armrest down?" To which he politely replied, "She asked to have it put down." We shared a chuckle, ha ha, and then I turned back to talk with my friends. I should have been tipped off right there that they were not suitable "neighbors". For some reason this guy was a little confused by some parts in the movie. It seemed like every 15 minutes or so he asked his wife a question about something. Although, for all I know maybe he didn't want to see this movie and he was just trying to keep himself awake by asking questions. Who knows... the movie was pretty easy to follow, so I'm not sure what the deal was. If the movie had been bad I would have been even more upset, but it was enjoyable so I could overlook his talking.
Alright, so let's backtrack to the restaraunt. Granite City. Doesn't it just sound delicious? Ashley and I both had buffalo burgers, and they were yummy. Robin had some beef thing I think. I can't remember. All I know is she got a big thing of mashed potatoes with bacon and cheese on it, and that alone would make me want to order that next time. But it was an enjoyable meal, and the atmosphere was nice as well. Definitely get there early on a Friday night though. There were a lot of people waiting for a table when we left at 6.
Ok, well I think I'm done for now. Just wanted to let you in on my fun girl's night. It was a good stress reliever at the end of my week. Now I get to start it all over again in a couple days.
Have a good weekend!!!
