a belated weekend update
February 12th, 2007 @ 11:25 pm | blonde moments | Post a CommentI think I mentioned that I recently got addicted to The Office and have been methodically watching the back episodes. I realize that it’s 2007 and I am highly uncool for still hoping that Jim and Pam get together, but oh the chemistry! How many more episodes must I endure before they kiss?
In between discs, this weekend was Part II of Boozefest 2007 (Part I happened in Akron). Andrew and I had fondue dinner at a couple-friend’s house, which was supposed to be four professional, civilized people getting together to dip bread in cheese and fruit in chocolate. Well, it ended with seven (7!) empty bottles of wine and Andrew and I passed out fully clothed on a half-full Aerobed, one of us with our head at the top of the bed and one with feet at the top. (I will not say whose was whose, most likely because I don’t remember, and also? Who knows which side is the real top of an Aerobed anyway?)
Let’s just agree to thank god that my camera was broken, there is no photographic evidence of the debauchery, the hangover is finally gone, and we can all just forget that ever happened.
My real excuse for drinking so much? I was getting in shape for Mardi Gras! Too bad I won’t actually be going to Mardi Gras this year. You know what they say: You can take the girl outta New Orleans…
Moving on to other topics! Well, I wrote a post about Brazilian bikini waxes but Andrew vetoed it. I don’t normally give him editorial control over here, but seeing as how is he currently interviewing for jobs, I don’t want to scare off any lucrative offers with my chitchat about Hair Down There. So ask me again later about that, okay?
I think I’ve incriminated myself enough for one night (yep, you can check off 1. Totally Behind the Times, 2. Repeat Offender Drunkard, and 3. Tactless About Private Parts). I’m think I’m gonna go watch some of the special features on The Office DVD. Watching Dwight and Michael (and oh, hell, just about all of them) makes me feel better about myself.
Hah! I thought I was the only one who got into shows after they’ve been out for ages (read: House, Gilmore Girls, CSI) but yay! I’ve found a friend.
I’m very bummed Janet, about a lack of boozing pictures. Very bummed indeed. And for Part III when it happens, I INSIST it’s all fixed or replaced by then. Or else!
Brazilian? Ouch. That’s all.

Oh how I love Jim and Pam!!!
I hope most of the drinking occurred after the fondue-ing. Otherwise you could end up with really hot cheese everywhere.

Oh, Alynda – ME, TOO! On ALL of those shows, plus “The Office”!
Janet, I finally checked out the train wreck that is “Engaged and Underage” and I think I saw a trailer (teaser? whatever) for an episode where the girl who is engaged goes to get waxed with her mother and a woman who appears to be her GRANDMOTHER. Gah.
Sorry, got sidetracked. My question is, what does one do for Mardi Gras when you’re not in New Orleans?

I love, love, love JAM, and well, the rest of the crew. I currently have my Office mug sitting next to me, which is really only a placeholder for when I can finally get my Dwight K. Schrute bobblehead.
Your weekend sounds wonderfully fun. It would be a lot more fun without the hangover though… I hate those.

Woohoo, Brazilian bikini wax post in the near future – something I’ve always wondered about….someone tell me to do it. Give me an excuse to try!

Elise,
Only have a Brazilian if you can take a Percocet before and after, and DO NOT do it anywhere near the time of your period.

7 bottles of wine for 4 people? You are a girl after my own heart.
I keep my brazilian facts to myself, too
I think I just don’t want to admit to myself how invasive it is or how much it hurts. Denial, baby!

You’re not alone, don’t worry. I’ve been watching The Office since the beginning and the Jim and Pam chemistry still kills me every single week. I just can’t get enough of those two!

I actually thought you already wrote on this topic, so thanks for skipping it for now
I like the good, wholesome fun facts about drinking and tv habits.

LOVING The Office! I got my husband a Dwight bobblehead that he proudly displays at his office. I kind of wish he would keep it at home though — I sort of miss the bobbly little guy.

Oh I want to hear all about waxing down there! I have actually never gotten “it” waxed before, but I am curious. Shaving gets annoying after a while. So once Andrew gets that great job, I hope you share all of your knowledge with us! Thank goodness you are open about those thing…just like me!
We can be the queens of TMI!

Mardi Gras 2007 has arrived and definitely things have not changed since you left. (Yes, I am talking about drinking too much, chasing floats for plastic beads, and oh the drunken flirting!) I miss you down south and you & andrew always have an open invitation!
