Fav memories of 2006

Top ten favorite memories of 2006

10. Father's Day weekend - this was also my little brother's 21st bday, but he's not quite the partier so we just went to dinner. My family means a lot to me and I really do enjoy spending time with them.

9. Mardi Gras pub crawl in February - Amy brought blinky cups for me and I decided to sell them for $10 each for beer money. I made about $90 and spent it all on alcohol at the bars that night. Everyone kept asking where we got them. Amy wasn't feeling well and after Brian and Scott were talking about clam chowder and farting, she puked down the side of the car. It was disgusting when we looked the next morning and they drove back to STL with the car like that.

8. Halloween weekend - We hit Frankie and Louie's for the $1 drinks and food day. I am not sure how many drinks I had (at least 7-8, but maybe more?) and a little food, our bar tab was only $60. We left there and got ready and went to the Blue Room. It's too bad my memory of that evening is pretty weak, but I know it was fun. I was supposed to be a mummy, but everyone kept thinking I was a priest or the Pope or something. All I know is that I was wasted when I went to bed and had to get up really early to go to the Chiefs game that day. We tailgated before the game and the first beer was really tough to get down, but then I was drinking away and got a little drunk at the game. The game was a lot of fun and I'm glad we went.

7. 4th of July weekend - any summer holiday weekend is fun and this weekend was no different. We did the usual party cove stuff, but this time there was some drama. Two of Jon's friends who were a couple, broke up and that was causing problems. The guy I was seeing and I got into it because I kissed some other guy at party cove, oopsie. I was pissed at him so I threw all of his stuff outside and let me tell you, that is a fun thing to do. I highly recommend trying it sometime. He then went over to Jon's, which pissed me off, so I went over there and yelled for awhile to get him to leave. The guys at party cove who did the boob washes were great, that was classic. That's all I really remember from that weekend, but I know it was a good one.

6.Labor Day weekend - I remember this better because it was at the end of the summer. The last big party before fall hits. This was when we hung out with the Wichita crew on their houseboat at party cove. The next houseboat over had a dance contest on their stage and pole they made, so that was interesting. Margaret should have won just for helping grease up the pole. I'm glad her and her gang rented the boat to come out there because I had a lot more fun with them there. Jen was out there with some of her girl friends too. Max had a little encounter with the coast guard and water patrol and had to spend a short amount of time in jail. Oops. Sunday night at the Blue Room was great because almost all of us were there and it wasn't crowded otherwise. Great way to end the summer.

5. Memorial weekend - this weekend started out with me getting so drunk before everyone went to Topsider that I left early and went to my place and passed out. After the bars, I guess everyone decided to party at my place while I was downstairs passed out. I had no idea until the next morning. We had a great time at party cove on Saturday with all the girls there, the usual suspects (Ryan, Jason, Jon, Josh, Craig, etc), and Justin's friends from Colorado. Jen was also there with her girl friends. That's all I remember from that weekend, sorry!

4. Visiting Amanda in Alabama - Amanda is one of my best friends and I only get to see her about twice a year. I went down to her neck of the woods this summer. I met a lot of her friends from Alabama, went out on her friend's boat into the ocean and saw a lot of beautiful wildlife and water that I had never seen before (including jellyfish), and spent some relaxing time at the beach. People in Alabama are a little behind when it comes to music, because all they listen to is Sweet Home Alabama (just kidding Amanda). I was the only person at her local bar who knew Crazy Bitch and this was in July! We had fun having our own dance party at the bar in Gulf Shores too and eating at Waffle House at 3 am.

3. Shootout weekend - my first trip to Big Dick's happened and my hair was totally screwed up from riding 70 mph in a boat all the way there. This is when I met Christian (thanks for letting me wear your apron in the nude), Greg, Carrie, and Brian (all Jon's friends). They were so much fun. This was the night of the text msg war (it's your Mom's) and the time that someone (I won't say who) decided not to wear clothes home from Shooters. The stereo contest on Friday night was so much fun, I won't be missing that next year. I wore the captain's hat to the Blue Room and Topsider and everyone was being my friend. This year I want a pirate's hat to wear. Some friends from college were in town and they couldn't believe how crazy I've become. That's me...

2. My birthday - Heidi came to visit me (in the yellow stretch nuts car) and that made the weekend awesome. Ryan, some girl, Heidi, Margaret, and I went to the Blue Room (after us girls talking about stretch nuts for an extended period of time). Some other people were there that night too, including Casey, the hottest guy ever from the gym. He also likes Cheyenne, but him and his friend went swimming with us following the bars. Saturday we hit party cove and it was ok, but I felt sick from the combination of too much alcohol, Redi Whip, and food. That night we went to Dog Days to see Disco Dick but I was too busy tripping over my heels getting stuck in the floorboards. That was the night we created the signal and once again went swimming when we got home. Jen's friend was wearing my "pee shoes" and he wouldn't take them off. On Sunday, Heidi and I discovered a new show - Instant Beauty Pageant - and watched that for hours after pigging out on Culvers. Double bacon butterburger anyone?

1. Homecoming - of course anytime with Heidi is fun, but including our old stomping grounds makes the time even better. After drinking big beers at El Torrero, we hit the nightlife of Cape G. The first place wasn't so great so we hit Ragsdales. It hasn't changed a bit, which is great. After a big beer, 2 chocolate martinis, and numerous Mich Ultras, I still wasn't drunk! Finally it all hit me at once and we saw some guys I knew from high school. They tricked us into coming over by telling us they were having a party. Yeah right! Luckily, A-hole made the Pike sober ride (I guess he paid him) give us a ride home. The drinking began about 8 am on Saturday with mudslides and donuts and then to the Playdium and parade. Phil "Rowdy" Collins was in the parade. We sang and danced at the Playdium (after my minor puking episode behind the Playdium) and didn't want to leave! After watching the football game for awhile, Wendy's was calling our name. We ate way too much, napped, then got ready to hit the bars again. After a night downtown, we made our way to Hushpuppy for some stripperific fun. The fattest stripper ever was there....and another strippers chest smelled like shaving cream. New words and phrases were made this weekend including schwent, osha, barturtle, turtletender, and not now!

That's my rundown of my fav memories of 2006. I probably left some parts out because almost every one of those involves alcohol. Anyone have anything they would like to add????
