I drove downtown Saturday to begin the celebration of Jackie's 24th year on this earth and picked up Annie to drive over to Jackie and Romer's apartment. Upon our arrival, we were greeted with 3 delicious Palermo's pizza pies that we quickly made short work of, I being the consumer of at least 4 pieces...YUM! After eating, we began to get ready as people started to trickle in including 2 surprise guests, some of Jackie's work friends, her brother Johnny, and my sister Angala.
We left Jackie and Romer's for our first destination, The Yard. There, we ran into a group of people on a golf themed bar crawl which was weird because our crawl was supposed to be the same thing, however, you did not have to dress up in golf attire. After The Yard we went to Moe's Cantina, one of my favorites, danced for a bit, and met Captain Morgan. I think the Captain had a little Captain in himself if you know what I mean.
The night ended at The Cubby Bear where one of Jackie's favorite cover bands, Wedding Banned, were playing. They were great! Jackie's boyfriend, Dustin, also joined us later in the night which was exciting for me because I haven't seen him in a long time! Welcome to Chicago Dustin!
Sunday morning, I came home and did what I do best, went to the library. I had to get a few hours of work done before The Healy's and the Gazerson's came over for dinner. Having everyone over was awesome and filled with jokes and laughing courtesy of Sean and Megan. It never fails that Sean and Meg run outside to Grampy's cars and jump in, Chuckie Cheese or bust. They are always driving to Chuckie Cheese, I wonder why they don't ever go anywhere else? It's pretty awesome that the babes get to play in old cars when they come over to Grampy and Ga-go's house. Awesome and possibly dangerous as evidenced by this picture:
Megan in the car with a live wire sticking out of the steering wheel...that's safe, right?
Don't worry, they are never left alone in the rusty car but they will sit in there for a long time and they don't seem to mind the smell. I'm off to the library for my Monday morning of feeling nervous that I didn't do enough work this week! Ciao!

I had so much fun!! Thanks for sharing your turkey sandwich :)
you captured the essence of lou gaz in that 1/8 picture you took of him.
That's "Chuck E Cheese," thank you very much. And it's not like we go there all the time or anything. Maybe that's why they're always trying to drive a busted-up car to get there. Like the "Gazersons," clever! And I was also worried about that wire in the steering wheel.
PS-That Captain Morgan is scary!
