Picture Pages -- August 26th, Part II

Here is the second installment of pictures. Shots from August 27th will follow shortly.



Jamie and Me

In Stefanie's car, ready to see what else the evening would hold.




"What the...?"

As we drove down I-35 in Dallas, Jamie decided this was the time to make friends. She hollared and waved and barked and generally startled the other cars on the highway.
Amy B. and I just sat in the back and laughed until we cried.




Stef, Watch the Road!


We were flying down the North Dallas Tollway somewhere around 75-80 mph. Stefanie then tells Amy to snap a picture when she counts to three.
One, two, THREE....
She and Jamie turn completely around and pose while Amy snaps the picture from the backseat.
Thankfully, she stayed in her lane and nobody slammed on their breaks.
It was fun.......Alarming, but fun.

Picture Pages -- August 26th, Part I


I was able to go to Durant in late August to help Jamie write the feature for the guard and also celebrate birthdays for Stefanie A.F., Amy B. and me. Here are some of our highlights.



Pre-Festivities...We're Just Getting Started

Me, Stefanie A.F., Amy B., and Jamie at Stef's apartment in Irving, TX. We had just finished writing the majority of the feature...outside...in near 100 degree heat. That's why we all look like we stink.




Stefanie and Me...El Fenix in Downtown Dallas

Originally our planned included dinner and a comedy club. However, downtown Dallas is not the easiest place in the world to navigate, especially on a Saturday night. And who decided having all one-way streets was a good idea?




How Do You Say, "Hell No, You Crazy Bitch!" in Spanish?

Amy B. and Jamie at El Fenix.

We had the coolest waiter on the planet. We explained to him we were out celebrating birthdays for three of the four of us and he was all too kind and gracious with us the entire time. The evening rapidly spiraled out of control and he took it all in stride. Of course, the most ridiculous one of us all was Jamie...and she was completely sober. We quizzed him on Spanish phrases and he would rehearse us until he was satisfied with our progress. When he asked Stefanie if she'd like another drink, she in turn asked if they were free. At this, Jamie blurted out, "How do you say, 'Hell no, you crazy bitch!'?" At that, we all lost it...as did several of the tables around us.



***Because Blogger and/or my sucky computer is misbehaving, I'll add the rest of the pictures in following posts. Don't worry, there are plenty more....Well, maybe you should worry, because there are plenty more.***
