I'm Back Relaxed

Lake Tahoe is absolutely beautiful this time of year. It's not to hot and not too cold. It's just right. I had a wonderfully relaxing time. I drove up to Tahoe Friday after work. I forgot how relaxing it was to drive by myself, windows rolled down, radio blaring and singing to my hearts content. I just feel sorry for anyone who was next to me, I can't sing. I made the drive in less than 2 hours. Not bad for a Friday night in rush hour traffic. I took lots of pictures this weekend and will let most of the pictures tell the story. I declared this weekend "All About Me." Friday Night: Just me being my typical Smart Ass self. My cousin Mike and I, already well on our way to drinking the night away. My cousin Matt and I. We all spent most of the night doing exactly what you would expect, drinking and gambling. My parents', Aunt CL and I called it a night at 0030. I was pretty drunk and had been up since 0430. Saturday: I got up at 0700. I had slept in a very uncomfortable bed/cot that had to be at least 40 years old. You know the type that has the hole in the middle and no matter how hard you try you always end up in the "hole." After we all got up and dressed, a group of us took a walk down to the Lake, as in Lake Tahoe. The views were spectacular. After lunch, my cousin Oliva and I went for a Manicure and Pedicure. This would be about 2 hours before the wedding. I have this wonderful habit of pushing the envelope. We made it with 10 minutes to spare. Left to right, top row, (this is a few of my cousins) August, Drew, Matt, Mike, Me, Kristin, and Oliva. Bottom, Quinton and Marisa. What you can't see in the picture, is Mike (the Groom) is wearing slippers to his wedding. WTF? I guess you would have to understand, my family is a little on the weird side, but it's all in fun. The ceremony was beautiful and standing room only. They had over 60 people who attended. Afterwards, a few of us had to a bar before making are way to the reception. Notice the shoes in the picture above? We walked around for over a hour like this. Yep, we were all pretty drunk. We spent the evening drinking, gambling, drinking, dancing, and more drinking. I learned a few things this weekend in Tahoe. 1) Don't drink and gamble, you will lose every time and lots of money to boot. 2) Drinking all night long, you are bound to be praying to the porcelain God the next day. Sunday, I had a long drive home and picked up the munchkins to try and spend half of Mother's Day with them. We came home, and Lego Man lost himself in his room playing a new video game. Me, I fell asleep for over 3 hours. Another note to self, don't do this with a little girl in the house. Drama Queen decided to play make-over with me while I slept. Thankfully she took lots of pictures to show me. Nope, I won't be sharing those ones. The topper to the weekend, Sniper called Sunday night. He wanted to wish me a Happy Mother's Day and see how my Tahoe trip went. I told him I took lots of pics to share with him and would be sending them out soon. I came home hung over, but very relaxed. I needed a "All About Me" weekend. I got it and them some. Fortunately I don't do that this often. I know why too, I am way too old for this shit. dyzgoneby A few more pics to laugh at. Some of these we were completely 100% sober. What can I say my family is never boring. If they only knew I posted all these pics I think someone might kick my ass.
