Happy Birthday Stephanie
Posted by Melinda | Filed under Uncategorized
I don’t know how I do it - but I manage to stay out late/early and STILL get up and go to work on time and function.
Last night it was Stephanie’s birthday for the occassion. Steph’s ma-girl -we go way back. So hell yeah I was gon’ go out and chill with her and her peeps for a few drinks.
So much to Taira’s dismay (“What time will you be home Mommy?”….”I don’t know Taira!) I left her with her deddy 
and headed to Bailey’s Pub and Grill. That’s a nice little chill spot - I’ll do dat again. I invited Fitz and Chris from work and Fitz invited Gwen (the Office Manager) - not thinking she would really come. But she did. So who knows what kinda gossip will be said now seein’ the Real Melinda away from work. 
LOL! ZIP IT!!!! I think Gwen was entertained though wether it be from the jokes and laughs to my Freestyle rapping! I don’t know if she gets out much.
Anyway - Susan and Joe (who looks at me like I’m crazy- but I think deep down he really likes me! HA HA) were there. Hey - turns out my new hole secret get-a-way The Wooden Nickel - is also a spot THEY hang at. So there will probably be some “Hung out at the Wooden Nickel” stories on the regular soon cuz they better call me when they go! Just a good place to go, have a glass of wine, sit at the outside tables and watch Hillsborough go by on Churton Street.
There was Steph of course, her friends (and mine now, too - you are cursed with Redbone bondage now cuz any friend of Steph’s who can tolerate me for more than 20 minutes is a friend of mine) Tina and Gia and then Fitz and Chris showed up for some pool.
Had me some crazy big Ultimate Nachos (Tina couldn’t take her eyes off them. That was a big plate of errything!), a Blue Wave Lemondade, 2 Jack and Cokes (DIET - to counter the Ultimate Nachos - ha ha) and a not so good Birthday Cake shot (I’ve had better - but I won’t hold it against Baileys
). And guess what - no hangover and I’m still at work today. HA HA! (More than I can say for Fitz n’ Chris! Lucky for them they have such a cool Supervisor who will give them the next day off when they ask at 11:00PM the night before!) Now I’m not a big drinker - a social drinker if you will. I don’t keep alcohol at the house for many reasons..but if we go out I’m going to have a few drinks and if you’re coming over I will grab some margarita makings or a bottle of cheap wine.
Anyway, a good time was had by all (I think). From Stephanie forcin’ my fingers in some nachos and some cheese til I got tired of that and made her wear the cheese as face paint (I think we were closerthanthis to a real @$$ food-fight! HA HA!).to some at the table On Demand Freestyle (I ain’t your puppet beeyotches! LOL!)…just a lotta laughs and fun.
So HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHANIE!
LOVE YA!!...
