come pick me up...

and here I went and got cocky about 2 posts in one week. I swear I looked up 3 days later and its already been a month. I will say I've been crazy busy between a trip to see my favorites in Gulf Shores, bachelorette parties, and the start of college football. I'm pretty sure I either pissed off or scared the other patrons of the bachelorette party last weekend...I kept looking over some of their shoulders to the TV that was positioned in my view (yes, I strategically planned this) and would start to yell out and then realize where I was and just kinda sound like a battered puppy. Once the game went into overtime I was done, I just grabbed my beer and walked in to stand (or pace, whatever) and watch the lucky end to that game. I came back to the table and sat down like nothing happened...was I smooth? probably not, but that's how I roll.

obviously, it was not my bachelorette party. however. once I googled bachelorette party this image came up. And I decided I wanted it. Katie, take notes.

the highlight of my trip to gulf shores was certainly seeing my two favorite people again for longer than 10 minutes but also being the college football set up that me and puddin' (yes, I call him puddin') set up while Claire was out running with the dog. Please note that while Claire (the sensible one, who my mom wishes was her child) is out exercising with their dog, me and her husband are trying to figure out a way to set up the spare TV on their porch so as to enjoy the day outside without missing anything from the games that we wanted to see. It's like that saying, I'm outdoorsy in that I like drinking on patios...that pretty much sums it up for me. Anyone who knows me knows this. So while we were setting up our fortress o' football, Drew's mom called. He told her what we were doing, Claire running, me and him already drinking (I'm pretty sure it was 1 EST at this point, so in all honesty I was behind for the first gameday of the year) and her only comment was "well, that sounds about right." Sooooo proud.
