How can you afford to take time out from your primary activity of performing free heart surgery on poor African babies?

“You coming to bed now?”
“no…I’m not very tired. I accidentally took a nap today.”
“baaaad girl. OK, I’m going to go to sleep then.”
“OK, love you” *smooch*
“love you.”
*I leave room*
*calls after me* “bring me a glass of water!”
“what????”
“BRING. ME. A. GLASS. OF. WATER!”
“hey! you want to say ‘please,’ bitch???”
“PLEASE, BITCH!”
“goddamm it.”
Tonight we made plans to hang out with our breedin’ friends, Michael and Elizabeth. They had guarenteed grandparental babysitting for the evening, and wanted us to come up for food and games. Contingent on me bringing my taco dip, of course. All friendly gathering invites are contingent on me bringing the taco dip. And we said we’d bring the Wii and make a Wii party out of it. It would be the first time we’d hung out as couples since New Years, and a get together was long overdue. Especially since both our guys are slightly socially awkward computer geeks, and it’s good to expose them to other people every once in a while (They are geeks and we LOVES them!)
Elizabeth called a few hours before and changed the location from their house to her parents’ basement, which was more spacious than their own living room and had a kick as big tv.
Which was an understatement.
It was a MEGA HUGE kick ass 50 inch projection screen tv. The ultimate for Wii enjoyment. Michael geeked out over it, as I knew he would.
I have no pictures…oops. Forgot my camera. But it was a blast. Much wine and magaritas were consumed. And even having Michael and Elizabeth make their own Wii avatars (or “Mii’s”) was entertaining:
Elizabeth - what are you doing?
Michael - putting a mole on me.
Elizabeth - you have a mole on your face???
Michael - …
ESC: uh oh…
We warmed them up by playing bowling…and I TOTALLY kicked ass. I had my best game ever - 200 points! Then we switched to tennis, which was HILARIOUS to watch Elizabeth’s mad skilz - her strategy was to just swing the wii-mote wildly in any direction, any time the ball came on her side of the court. Amazingly, she won many rounds this way. Also of note: I beat Kev in tennis for only the second time EVAH!
Later, we played a short game of Scene It, and I won THAT, too! I should buy a lottery ticket! Anyone want to touch me for luck?
NOT THERE!!!! BAD TOUCH!
Making Trader Joe’s lemonade, from a frozen can tube.
instructions: “Empty contents of can into half gallon container. Add 4 1/3 cans of cold water. stir vigorously.”
WHAT? 4 and A THIRD??? This is AMERICA, buddy, we don’t DO fractions here. Maybe, MAYBE a HALF, but a THIRD???? How do you expect me to just EYEBALL that? IMPOSSIBLE! If my lemonade turns out funky I will SUE! SUE, I SAY!!! How DARE they…uhh…
errr…which can of water was I on? Dammit.
