I must say, I'm one lucky gal. I've got the best friends a girl could ask for and there's more than about 20 of them I can call on at any time. They've really been there for me this week, without hesitation. They know when I need a funny g-chat, an emoticon rant, or when I just want to walk into Sing It or Wing It and sing a "here's what I think about that" kind of song—and they're willing to do any of the above. If you don't have friends like this in life, you've missed out.
After an interesting pedicure experience, I was quite sure my week couldn't get any weirder.
My friend Todd told me I'm a "shit-magnet". I don't totally disagree after this weeks events.
While in pure bliss from this pedicure, I hear a woman walk in and start yelling. At first I think she's joking around with the owner, until I finally realize he's yelling at her to leave or he'll call the police. Apparently, she has some dementia issues and keeps forgetting when she gets manicures and is convinced they are taking her money...go figure. As our nails are drying, two rather attractive cops show up to take the statement and they were rather smiley at us. When I passed them at the red light when we left, I think for the first time in my life, I considered doing something to purposely get pulled over.
After the craziest pedi ever, two friends called wanting to buy me a beer and ensure my sanity was still intact. I really didn't want to because the past two nights didn't consist of much sleep and I was definitely starting to feel the reprocussions.
They were relentless, like all good friends should be, so I took my grungy (but freshly painted toenailed) self to The Terminal. After catching up, they managed to get me to go to Market Street Tavern for just one drink.
That "one drink" was the best thing to happen to me all week. Holy cow. You haven't lived until you've had the Funky Monkey martini at Market Street Tavern. I mean this thing was perfection. It's also their martini of the month all month. I posted a recipe I found online so you can try it and see for yourselves or just go there and pay the $7 to make someone else do it because it's WELL worth it. I highly recommend you make your Friday funky with all your funky friends. If you don't have friends like mine, I highly recommend you find some. Life is way more bearable with them. :)
