Morning all...sounds like everyone had a full weekend...
Bob, we got a short amount of time with some snow yesterday...it came down like a whiteout for about 45 minutes, deposited about an inch I guess...all it really did was make more ice to freeze over...

expecting a heatwave of 55 towards the end of the week..

maybe this crap will finally go away.
We decided to not go out for dinner for ds's birthday on Friday, but to have a little party of 4 at the house, fix dinner, have cake and maybe play cards or something...sounds good to me! I think steak will be on the agenda. My baby is gonna be 24...
So, we started out at Friday's, had a few drinks and laughs, decided to make our way over to a sports bar

and get in there, it is packed and of course, not my type of crowd anymore, but there I was with 3 guys hanging out. We listened to the band and just hung out, all the while the birthday boy and one of the guys were not only drinking beer, but chasing the night away with goldenschlagger (spelling unknown to me, nope, did not want one of those) and then jaegermeister shooters. I knew birthdayboy (BB) was taking in WAY too much, but heck, I'm just along for the party, not to babysit. As the evening wears on..umm..he falls over on the floor and they take him outside. He is out there for awhile and yep, he starts getting sick, can't stand up and is about ready to pass out. To make a long story short, the sheriff dept. called an ambulance for him, the other guys were too far gone to care at that point

so Mom here went to the ER with him. When I got there, the stinkin' nastiest nurse starts giving ME a lot of crap about the whole situation, so I told her, I'm outta here, here is a phone number of someone who can come and get him when you let him out. SO...I did end up riding in a police car

NOPE not in trouble, they just took me to my car....made a trip to the ER, and by the way, had fun til the kid passed out..

I did feel bad for him though and at least made sure he was at the hospital and they knew who he was etc. He isn't at work today, but his friends have said he is fine...SO MUCH for these kids...I didn't pass out or throw up....guess that is the difference between being 50+ and newly turned 21..LOL DH was up when I got home, and he said, did you have fun? I was like, oh my, you won't believe this story when I tell you. He was surprised I bit my tongue with the nurse...(he knows me and know I can get feisty) For 2cents I would have told that nurse off in the ER, but I didn't want to make matters harder for the BB or make any ripples for him. She had me ready to spit nails...no offense to people in the nursing profession, I admire them tremendously and have some nurse friends, but it does not give you the right to talk nasty to people nor pretend you are better than them, or pass judgement on a patient, and at that point, that is what he was. Sure, it's dumb to over drink, but I remember being young, I remember drinking too much and that's how it goes, not right, but it happens. So, anyway, that is my exciting night out...glad those are few and far between

I would go out with them again to celebrate a birthday, but without all the "after he fell on the floor" business...LOL
Work is work this morning, we are busy with walk ins with the holiday...some people have all the luck with days off...I need a government job I think.
Pam, glad you got to sleep in a bit later...I went to bed early last night, I was still tired from Saturday night.
