Friday:
Ladies’ night! Margaret, Amanda, Mary, Mary-Grace, Meghan, Molly and I met up for dinner and drinks at O-Ku Sushi. Can you believe how many M names were in our group? Naturally Amanda was renamed Mandy and I was renamed Mina.
Margaret ordered the Harvest Roll. I can’t remember exactly what was in this roll, but it was topped with fried Fuji apple! This roll was way too intense and had too much of a deep-fried flavor.
On the way to the bars after dinner, I ran into my favorite hot dog vendor men! They call me “Cookie Girl” because every time I’ve had too much to drink, I try to convince them to let me sell my cookies at their stand. They always tell me that cookies don’t go with hot dogs, but I think they are being silly. I took a pic with them anyway.
Saturday:
I think I half died yesterday. Awful. I haven’t decided if it was a 24-hour bug or from the shot of Wild Turkey, but I was yakking all day. Margaret even brought me to Chick-fil-A and I couldn’t even it. That is crazy talk. These were my friends on Saturday night.
Btw, unflavored Pedialyte is NASTY. It tastes like salt water, but it works.
