Lake Bound with the Girls

Today after work I'm headed to the lake to spend 4 glorious days playing on the lake with seven of these wonderful ladies:

On the Agenda:

-LOTS of gossip! Especially about a certain scumbag, soon-to-be ex-husband. {Not mine...don't worry. I'm still keeping my scumbag husband. haha just kidding, Alex!}

-LOTS of eating! We're loaded down with plenty of munchies! I have a feeling I'm gonna need to work out extra hard next week.

-Maybe a little adult beverage consuming. Or maybe a lot. Only time will tell. {Except for the two pregNERDS coming on the trip who will only be enjoying their fake beer and wine.}

-Hopefully not too much sunburning. I am extremly fair-skinned so I'm loaded up with plenty of SPF 70, yes 70, sunblock. Inevitably, I will still get burned at least once. It's Murphy's Law.

-No primping and/or looking cute. This is a tshirt & shorts only zone. No blow dryers and/or straighteners. Minimal makeup {some of us fair-skinned types need at least a touch of makeup to keep us from looking like a ghost}.

-Oh yeah and some fun on the boat and jet skis. I guess that is the point of going to a lake right? I will attempt to waterski again, although I have failed the last two times I tried. Hopefully I won't wipe out too hard. I don't like water up my nose. :)

So that sounds like a pretty good list. I'll be out of touch through Tuesday so everyone enjoy your weekend!

{P.S. In case you were wondering, I didn't post a "What's for Dinner?" last night because I went out to dinner at Boston's with the girls. I got an individual whole wheat Florentine pizza...my favorite! Oh and a margarita.}

What's for Dinner? 1/30/2010

Last night we had planned on being lazy and cooking dinner at home, but then our friends Lori & Eric talked us into going with them and two other friends to Dave & Busters. I had actually never been to a D&B before so I didn't quite know what to expect. I think Alex put it best when he said "It's like a Chuck E Cheese for adults!"

We had dinner there and did the "Eat & Play Combo", which is actually a really good deal! With the combo you get to choose one of 8 different meals and you also get $20 worth of "play credits" for a total of $23.99. Which, as the boys pointed out, essentially makes your meal cost $4.00 {they were very excited by this realization...haha}.

I had the "Barbecue Grilled Chicken" which came with loaded mashed potatoes {yum! I'm a mashed potato addict} and super-skinny green beans. Hubs had the "Double Stacked Chicken Parmesan Sandwich" and fries which he gave two thumbs up.

As far as the games go, Alex and I pretty much S.U.C.K.E.D at them. Apparently arcade games are not our forte! We ended up with way, way, way less tickets than the other two couples, but we still had enough to redeem our tickets for a huge, plush "Gig 'Em" thumb. {Gotta love pointless prizes!}

I wish I had taken at least one picture to capture the night because it was so fun but, alas, I did not. I hate when I forget to take pictures!!! GRR.
