Later, Party Animal!!


Wellll....I don't think so, D! But I did have an awesome time !

We didn't get to T's house until after 12:30am -- we left P's house at around 7pm then stopped to eat an hour later and met up with J and her H in Patterson.

Loooong drive ......but we were a bit wired when we finally got there, so P, J, T, and I stayed up for a while just talking while my 11-year-old niece was watching a cartoon channel. Some of the "Pink Panther" cartoons came on, and my sisters and I began reminiscing about how we used to love the Pink Panther ! And then we realized, "Hey -- they NEVER talked in this cartoon!!" LOL!! Then we started laughing about his "cool-cat" walk at the end of the cartoons! You know, that little skip he does LOL!!! My niece got up and said, "Old people!" and left the room! LOL!! Hey -- I'm only 30! I'm still a baby.... . We finally went to bed after 1:30am .

Saturday, we got up and had breakfast then checked out the local farmers' market. After that, we went to the store to get lunch and snacks for the beach (no timeshare after all -- T waited too long ), and off we went ! Boy, can you say HOT??!!! We had a lot of fun though. Two of my nieces came with us, and they buried us in the sand ! We only hung out for a few hours because we didn't want to be too burnt out for Girls' Night Out !

So we went back to T's place and relaxed for awhile before going out. The guys wanted to know where their steak dinners were . P and J told them the pizza guy was bringing their dinner LOL!! That was so funny! The guys were ok with it; they were only kidding to begin with . T's boyfriend has a room set up like a movie theater in the house (the whole works) so the guys were going to stay and watch the kids while watching the fights that night.

After we got ourselves all dressed up and lookin' good , we went to eat at this place called Villa Creek (I think ) in Paso Robles. VERY good food -- YUM ! It's a mix of Spanish, Mediterranean, and Mexican foods. Then after our LATE dinner, we went to San Luis Obispo (30 minutes away) to check out the bar scene . No dance clubs around -- oh well.

OMG, I felt sooooo old and out of place ! I think I only saw 2 people who were older than us in the bar, and they had to be in their 50s, maybe 60s (sorry, no offense intended)! Everyone else looked to be in their early 20s, and then I remembered that CalPoly is right there.

But hey -- I'm not complaining. It was VERY NICE to LOOK at and be around all of those young, HOT college boys !.....Yummy !

So we gossiped while having some drinks and danced a few times . One guy did ask me to dance, but I don't know. I guess I just didn't feel quite right or ready to do that . I was already having a great time with my sisters ! Then we went back to T's house around 1am.

Yesterday, we just hung around her house to help go over paint colors with T (she's redecorating), so she's planning a paint-party in the next month or so. P's having one in 2 weeks, and I'll be going to that. Call me crazy, but I LOVE painting ! I think it's fun, and I actually find it rather soothing .

We left T's at 6pm, got to P's house just after 10pm, and I arrived home by 11pm.

I had a GREAT weekend -- relaxing and fun ! No worries, no kids, no stress !

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend as well, and thanks for listening.
