hey guys. yes, it's been a while. needless to say i have been meaning to post for quite sometime, but you know how it is... once it's been so long it seems even harder and harder as days go by. you feel like there's so much to catch up on you need hours to fill everyone in. at least that's how my brain sees it. but tonight i want to post and i just don't have time for all of that.

it's Lorrie's 21st birthday. well, actually it was last night but we all went to celebrate tonight. everyone from work went to Acapulco for happy hour, 50 cent tacos and 1$ margaritas. we all arrived, chatted, handed out the birthday gifts, then ate and drank. then the karaoke started.... then we all drank a lot more (well everyone except mike) and a few dozen shots later... poor lorrie was in the little girls room for 15 min. she told me she had to go so i walked her there, i went in first then when i left she went in. i knew i should've stayed with her, i kept an eye on my watch and sure enough after 10 min. and no sign of lorrie we were all banging on the door... calling her name and passing notes under the door. Joleen and i even got down on our hands and knees to look under the door. finally she opened it.. it didn't smell pretty. it seemed i was the only one brave enough to go in. so an hour or so later.... many napkins, glasses of water and plastic bags of puke, here we are.

it's about 11 p.m. mike is doing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen and i just put lorrie to sleep on the couch with a nice cold washcloth, a few towels, some ice cold water and a big bowl (just in case). anyway... i hope she had fun.
