Excitement is in the Air

Vegas for Daylon's Birthday - Daylon has decided we're going to Vegas for his birthday.  I have a hate, hate relationship with Vegas cause it was my break up trip place.  However, I have complete faith that going with Daylon will completely change my opinion.  We have fun wherever we go; I just hope we make it out alive!  And we are most definitely zip lining through Fremont.

Sugar and Spice and Drinking is Nice Birthday Party - I will be hosting a spicy, sweet birthday party.  There will be spicy cocktails, burn your mouth food and a candy bar.  And it all takes place at Panty Droppers of course.  Can't wait to celebrate with all of my amazing friends.

Coed Passion Party - My friend Yolande is hosting a coed Passion Party this weekend.  Who knows what treasures I will come away with.  I'll definitely fill you in after the party.  I just hope the boys behave.

Renee and Mike's Bun in the Oven - My besties, Renee and Mike, are about to pop out another little one!  I'm crossing my fingers for a girl, but they get mad when I say that.  I just want to dress a girl; it's so much more fun.  Girls are more cuddly too.

I'm excited about two other things, but in fear of cursing them, I'm holding off on sharing.  In due time I will come clean.

Flowers and Beer, Oh Yeah

Amazing Friends


Well, I've been down in the dumps lately, just feeling down.  I can explain a lot of it, but it still was quite unexpected since I've been very happy and having the time of my life lately.  And when I was down, I was quickly reminded how amazing my life is and how I should be quite happy.  I have amazing friends; I'm so lucky.  Tyler had flowers sent to my work and of course they had lilies in them, my favorite.  I've actually only had flowers sent to me at work by my mom, with the exception of a guy after a first date (but he was a loser). When I went to pick them up from the receptionist, I assumed that they were from mom. It was super exciting to see that they were from Tyler, and although my face turned red, I was overjoyed.

The day just got better from there.  I opened the door and there was Melissa with all of my favorite beverages.  I would have been happy with just hanging with her, but I got 4 bonuses, ha ha.

My woe is me attitude sure didn't last long!

Hanging with the Johnson brothers!  Had an amazing Mexican dinner and bar-hop night with Daylon and Derrick.

Catching Up

Melissa invited me to join her for her work holiday party, which happened to be my old company.  I actually still have a good relationship with a lot of the my old coworkers, so I was pretty excited.  They mixed it up this year and threw it at a bowling alley; which made it super casual.  We had to come adorned in our favorite sports gear.  We searched up and down for Sounders jerseys but they're all pretty scarce.  We ended up getting Husky gear, which is great since I am a Husky.  I had such a great time visiting with people, even some that I wasn't that close with when I worked there  There was one exception, and that was the "wicked witch of the pancakes."  I went over to this woman to say hi, be cordial, since we used to work in the same department.  She snubbed me so hardcore; I don't think anyone has been that rude to me before.  I mean, I guess I shouldn't have expected anything different, but I still get really shocked when I'm treated poorly.

Tyler and my mom were our designated drivers, how sweet is that.  They picked us up and of course it was after party time.

Massage Time

Okay pervs, no you're not getting a picture:)  Ha ha.  I've been having this terrible neck situation, which is completely linked to stress.  So I decided today was time for a massage, cause last time I had something similar the doctor couldn't help me.  It was a pretty decent massage today, with the exception of a skipping cd.  I always have weird situations though, I must tell you.  One lady kept whispering in my ear, "I'm going to make you feel good", "just relax, leave yourself in my hand."  It was so freaking creepy!!!  Another lady, totally straddled me and massaged my hands really weird, like she was holding them. Massages are amazing, but there is something so awkward about stripping down and having somebody caressing you.  The massages on the beach in Mexico are a lot more low key.  Although there is the awkward moment when you have to pull your swimsuit down out in the open on the beach; so worth it.

Wow Somebody Needs a Happy Meal, ME!

So I just plain haven't felt like blogging FOREVER.  I'm kind of in a "poor me" mood, however, the bright side is I feel like blogging and I have so much fun stuff to blog about.  Warning, the following will be super random...

I LOVE MY FRIENDS, all of you!  I'm so happy for your unconditional support and love.  You always want what's best for me and what makes me happy, and I love you for that.

Cookie Day!  It has been an ongoing tradition for however long my mom was a child. And I've turned it into an adult drinking party, yeah buddy.  Gary even made me a Ron Jeremy cookie, ha ha!

Jesse and Daylon doing some chocolate molding.

Renee and Mike got me treats that are really me, wine stuff! That wine topper is definitely not from Texas!

We went to the Seahawks, and Randos wanted to touch us! 

 

My friend Melissa, surprised me with this amazing gem of a gift. I love creepy things!

 I was going to go on with random other things that make me happy, but this is making me smile!  I am satisfied with staring at these amazing people's faces.

Panty Droppers

I must tell you all about my bar, the reason why I bought this town house and the origin of the name and theme.  PANTY DROPPERS!  I'm sorry this isn't as non-PG as you would imagine, I promise.

There once was this amazing friend named Tim who I met in Texas.  Tim was always smiling and knew how to make everyone happy.  He had a landscaping business, which I hired to help me get my home read to sell, so he was over at my place while working on it.  One night when I got home from work, Mike (my bestie) and I were hungry.  So Tim leaves his crew and comes in, rummages through my cupboards and makes us an amazing impromptu meal.  He is the sweetest friend ever!  I've borrowed his margarita machine a couple of times for parties.  I mean, everybody needs a friend with a margarita machine, right?  Tim was so business oriented, he had the landscaping business, he was a real estate agent and also worked at this cute little Mexican restaurant.  (I say had and was, but he's probably still doing all of these things, I just haven't chatted with him in a while to know the deets.)  When he was working at the Mexican restaurant he was bartending one Saturday afternoon.  Mama AKA Jennifer and I were up at the bar and Tim made us these amazing drop shots called panty droppers.  It was 180 energy drink and three olives grape vodka.  These things were incredible and sure enough after a few I was ready to drop my panties, ha ha (not really.)  

Tim and his amazingly cute baby!

Mama and me!

So after my amazing niece Chloe was born, I decided to move back to the Seattle area to spend time with my lovely.  It was an exciting time, but unfortunately I had to leave behind some amazing friends! It's not so sad, because these friends are so real and loyal that they'll always be in my life.  

Real estate was so cheap in Texas!!  I really wanted to be able to buy something in Washington.  I fell in love with this 1970's style townhouse solely because it had a bar in the basement.  I didn't care that I have to do all of these upgrades, the carpet is disgusting, and I'll wish I had a dumbwaiter to transport items from all three levels.  When it came to naming the bar, it was a no-brainer.  PANTY DROPPERS was born.  This is deeply inspired by Tim, my amazing Texas friends that used to come to all of my parties, Rick's BBQ and some cool bars I've seen in Vancouver BC.  They have bars up there where people take off their braas.  So I thought with the amazing name inspired by Tim and his fantastic drink, we could start a new tradition.  The cover charge is a pair of panties.  The best pair that are on display came from this lady, Inga, who came over after a banquet that my parents were working at.  We had the after party at my house.  Well Inga was having a blast and happened to have a sexy short dress on.  She went into the bathroom and took her panties off!  We hung them up right away.  

I must speak a bit about Ricks BBQ.  This is where I met many of my amazing Texas friends.  It was this small little joint right by where my house was in Carrollton, TX.  The first time my sister and I went in there, people took us in. They made us feel like family and there was no looking back.  I ended up making several friends there.  So many in fact, that I was just back in Texas a couple of months ago for a wedding reception for my Rick's bestie.  It was our Cheers.  We'd go out every night of the week!  Thursdays were our favorite, TANK TOP THURSDAY!  

I happened to end up with this beauty of a sign which will forever remind me of the good old days.

One night there were power tools left on the bar, so I of course decided to unscrew this historical photo from the wall. It now resides in Panty Droppers.  Cheryl (red-headed slut), Clayton (#1)'s dad and some other regulars.

Just remember if you're heading to my pad for a party, you head straight downstairs to Panty Droppers an hopefully you brought your cover charge.

Painting Birds, Drinking Beers

Bridget, Daylon, Dre and I ventured to yet another Corks and Canvas Event.  Daylon and Dre were first timers; that's always nerve-racking and exciting.  This event was unique because it was held at a brewery instead of a winery; Pyramid Alehouse to be exact.  They said we could have wine and I told Bridge that if she ordered wine I would judge her, knowing full well she would never do such a thing.  We're beer girls.  I WON!!  They do a drawing at every event, and my name finally made it into Lisa's (the owner) hands.

Freaking Dre got new fancy brushes with grippers!  Advantage much?

Bridge and Daylon enjoying the moment.

Paintings in progress.  Dre gave his bird a little blackbird friend.  All the painting ladies were so impressed.

Posing with our final pieces.

After Party on the Choo Choo Train - The Orient Express has the most amazing red chicken curry ever!  It's one of my favorite happy hour, pre-party, after-party and whatever occasion spots.  The bartenders are always super cool, funny in fact.  And there are always worse singers then you belting out Karaoke from one of the private rooms; and you are never the drunkest person in that place.

Loves at the Orient Express (my favorite Seattle hangout) .

In the next frame Bridget totally slipped me the tongue...

Mom already has dibs on this painting.  She said it reminds her of both my grandmas.  Yay.  They were bird lovers.

I still can't believe I won!  What a fun night.
