You're probably wondering why I chose my title for this.......and TRUST ME...I'll get to that...I PROMISE!!
I was sick all last week. If you'd have talked to me, you would have thought I was on my death bed, as dramatic as I can be.....you KNOW I felt that way!! I know everyone gets sick, but when EVERY one else gets it....I don't have to suffer=)!! Saturday night I was feeling a bit better and decided Joe and I would venture out for a bit that evening........So begins my little story......
My wonderful friend Che-lia wanted to go out for her birthday, so a bunch of us from work and some of, well most of her family, went to a grill/bar on Gravois close to Taft in the city. The place itself was quite cute. Exposed brick walls, red painted ones that weren't and all in all had some potential......at first glance that is......
We were a bit early, so we grabbed a seat and attempted to order some food. Let me also take this opportunity to tell you that I was to be alcohol free for the evening. I was taking a strong antibiotic and I wanted to make sure it did it's thing and I was not ABOUT to risk it. So it was Ice Tea for me, Bud Select for him and keys for me to drive home =)!! I gained a whole new perspective that night by going out and being the ONLY one NOT participating in the alcohol madness....We will get there...I promise!! Che-lia and her husband and whole entourage showed up and apparently the party had begun a bit earlier. SHE had already had at least one fishbowl size margarita ( I know this because she must have told us 10x AFTER she got to where we were!!! LOL!!). Might I also add that she is not the typical drinker, she doesn't do it very often.....so a little goes a LONG LONG WAY!!
But this story really isn't about her. It's about the WONDERFUL group of women (I think that's what they were) that claimed a table right next to our large group. When the first lovely (PLEASE NOTE>>>I am using LOTS of sarcasm) lady arrived...at first glance...she appeared to be a bag lady - you know homeless, carrying a blue grocery store bag. I was praying this lady wasn't with Che-lia's family. She wasn't but she had a girl/boy friend. We couldn't tell which. Then more started arriving.......the only way I can think to describe this little group is this.....Have anyone of you EVER seen the movie "Shallow Hal"?? If you haven't then I HIGHLY suggest you see it......There is a scene where "Hal" is at a club dancing with what he is POSITIVE are the most B-E-A-UTIFUL women on the Earth......when in all actuality they show you that they are horrendous. The women at this table could have been their doubles....I know that's mean and I apologize right now, but when you don't just get hit by the "ugly stick", but the whole damn "ugly tree" gets you.......WOW....just WOW.....take a gander at the pics below. I though you might want to see them as proof positive of my description:
But you know, it's not even how they looked so much as WHAT they were doing while they were there that had ALL of us going - OMG!!! WTF??? OH no...
