Captains log: Saturday November 19, 2011 = food, "family", LAUGHS, volley, winning, food, LAUGHS, boozes, booze + games.
I'm not sure I could rev up a much better Saturday than the one I had yesterday. I got to sleep in until after noon! (thanks to this little gem of a thing called school, I have to wake up at 7:45 5 days a week......not really for me....especially when I have practice every night till 11). Then I was hittin the kitchen with Caylin to prepare our weekly brunch (more like linner). We had quite the guest list: Our UK's: Vince, Lucy, Jennifer; Alex (joining us from Cali) and Mamma and Pappa Gilroy. Charlie Gilroy and Lucy had quite the battle of wits, that had the rest of us in shambles...adding valuable minutes to our lives. An obsurred amount of gay jokes were spewed.
Next stop: volleyball game vs. Palmi (going into the game we were tied in points and had a couple of Brazilian "stars") Stellar performance from team America and we took the win in a dominating 3 sets. Even our setter put in effort! So happy with the teams performance!!
For our evening festivities, we had dinner at Wallace's, a fun Irish pub. At one point Chumbawamba came on and we got very excited and made a mini music video at our table....and we wonder why people think we are drunk all the time? Then we met up with the rest of our crew for some chatting and drinks. The real fun happened when we got to the wine bar and decided to start playing THUMPER. Once everyone got the hang of it we had 13 people around in a circle playing and the entire bar watching us. Such a classy game to play while drinking our wine.
Loving this new "hot streak" I'm on....Passport has arrived, winning volley, flights booked for the holidays, credit cards in the mail and should be getting my package in the next 2 days...I will really be able to give thanks on Thursday!
