"I'm so hungry," I said picking up the menu.
"I thought you wanted junk food," Fetus reminded me, with an appraising eye.
"I did. But if they don't have a mountain of fries here, I guess I'll just have to make do, right?"
The girls laughed at me as a waiter approached our table.
"Hello ladies," he said easily. "My name is Mark. I'll be your server today."
I lifted my eyes from the menu and looked across the table to Vyelit. She smiled and then scrunched her nose and shrugged. A common name, sure, but having a waiter named Mark on the night I'd proclaimed a celebration of the blog hadn't escaped my noticed.
I looked closer at the waiter. He had blonde hair and light eyes. Nothing like him.
He returned my curious gaze with a smile.
"Well, Mark," I sighed. "I'm going to need a drink menu.

For a second on Thursday, I felt like a bad blog mommy.
(Note: If all you Internet people get to say stuff like "furbaby," I get to say blog mommy once, and you don't get to judge.)
See, somewhere in the back of my head, I had present the fact that the blog's anniversary was coming up. I finally thought to check out the exact date on Thursday for the sake of the post I was writing. It was dated November 2. THIS WEEK.
Memory fail.
I knew that I would have to quickly come up with some sort of plan for a celebratory post, but first thing was first, I sent out text messages to Roxanne and Penny.
Lorraine: The blog turns two on Wednesday! I need a drink to celebrate. :)
Roxanne: I'm dying. I'm on antibiotics so I can't drink. My tonsils are touching.
Penny: I don't get paid until next week. Plus, whatever you and Roxanne had, I think I'm catching.
Well. That was anti-climatic.
I was resigned to spending my Friday night at home, patting myself on the back for a job well done, and hoping that my best friends weren't dying from the plague*. Thankfully, however, Venus, Fetus, and Vyelit decided they were really hungry after our workout. This happens a lot. In fact, it's part of the reason I don't like working out. I mean, I didn't want an extra large bucket of french fries, until I started working out.
Anyways, we all went home, showered, dolled up, and went to negate every second of our workout.
I had a drink that night, to my (almost!) two-year accomplishment, in the presence of people who don't even know this corner of the Internet exists.
By the time we left the restaurant, the world was ending in rain, thanks to a hurricane that was somewhere south of us. The rain did not let up much throughout the weekend, making it nearly impossible to ever venture out of the house. This may or may not have resulted in me playing more hidden object games than any respectable person should ever admit to. #may
I spent Saturday night at Pink's house, curled up in a blanket while she cooked dinner for us.
Somehow that night we ended up eating cheesecake and watching Problem Child 2. Oh, and possibly screaming "I DO NOT HAVE RABIES" a lot. Okay. That was just me.
Sunday, we ended up taking a group grocery shopping trip where we learned that we should probably never go grocery shopping together.
"Would you judge me if I bought this and took it work for lunch," Vyelit called to me, holding up a Mickey Mouse shaped tray that held fruits and veggies.
"Yes," I replied firmly.
"You ask that every time you see it," Venus said.
"I keep hoping you'll change your mind and stop being so judgy."
"Nope," I replied again. "Not a chance."
------------------------------------------------------
So, in the middle of the torrential rain and tornado warnings this weekend, I completely forgot about the coolest thing ever, and that was that I was totally interviewed for a blog!
How did this happen, you ask? Well it went a little something like me saying, "OMG PLEASE INTERVIEW ME RIGHT NOW PLEASE! PICK ME! DON'T MAKE ME CRY!" I mean, it was something like that.
How did this happen, you ask? Well it went a little something like me saying, "OMG PLEASE INTERVIEW ME RIGHT NOW PLEASE! PICK ME! DON'T MAKE ME CRY!" I mean, it was something like that.
Please, please go read the interview and tell me how awesome I am it was.
Go read!
And thanks again to @Zombiezman for letting me fool him into thinking I was cool enough to answer questions. One step closer to blog of note, right?! RIGHT. (Don't ruin my dreams.)
I hope you all had a great weekend, and survived the wind, rain, snow and Halloween parties.
*In case you were wondering, neither Penny nor Roxanne actually died.

Loved your interview almost more than I love your face, and that's pretty hard to even come close to beating <3
My zombie killing weapon of choice? The freaking crossbow!
I left a similar comment on the interview page, but thought I'd ask again... What on earth is a "same sex party" and why does your creepy male coworker want to throw one with you? That's really awkward.
Anyway, good interview! It's a cool way to find new blogs to read.
It's like I'm supposed to be allowed to eat more when I work out, right?
OH STOP IT. :) <3
Crossbow is pretty badass. You can be on my zombie killing team, okay? :)
Dude. DUDE. I have NO idea what the heck he meant. I ran too fast in the other direction to really stick around and find out.
Thank you! And I agree. I loved the zombie blog when I found it! :)
THANK YOU! This is my entire theory, but one that is sadly not supported by many. I feel bad for all of them.
I'm with Malory. Apparently we eat more when we work out because we think we've burned more than we have... which kinda sucks. But everyone deserves a night out! Did you get your french fries?! I am a serious sucker for some good fries.
ps. I'm so glad you read kid lit. I'm 21 and feeling guilty about reading YA that's more for high schoolers, so that makes me feel better. Read what's good, you know?
Awesome interview! I wish I could be even half as cool as you.
Also, understanding the wheat bread reference makes me feel like I'm sitting with the cool kids at lunch in high school. In other words, thanks for that.
What's a same sex party?
I'm psyched that we both answered Dead Alive.
But... Problem Child 2? Not the first one, but the SEQUEL. Wow.
Happy Early blog birthday!
Omg, Intern sounds creepy.
"Give me a cookie, or give me death." <-- Amazing!
Congrats on the blog anniversary... and the interview. Pretty impressive!
Congrats on the interview, and don't worry about being a "bad" blog Mommy. Worry if that happens to your hypothetical future kids. :P
Congrats to you! :) And I'm very glad no one actually died!
Congratulations on your blog's birthday! If I had been there, I totally would have gotten drunk to celebrate. Because any excuse to drink is... well... a good excuse to drink? Or something like that.
I loved your interview. You're the most adorable zombie killah ever. <3
PHEW was freaking out that they actually died there! It's always hazardous to your health when your tonsils are that close together... HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE BLOG! WE LOVE YOU!!
wooooooooo-Happy two years. I'm eating a second ice cream in celebration.
I've had a terrible cough--I now feel comfortable blaming the two of them. Nice.
Also, problem child two? All I have to say is, CLOWNS, I HATE CLOWNS
I didn't get my french fries but I did eat a little mini dessert that had enough chocolate to send a lesser person into a diabetic coma. It was heaven.
Oh, and girl, no shave. Sometimes YA is what you need to not really think and just read. :)
Oh, stop it! Cool is most definitely not the word to describe me. :)
Girl, I DO NOT KNOW. I didn't really want to know. I just wanted to take a shower after I heard. Srub my brain.
Your email was what reminded me of the interview! We should have a Dead Alive watching party one day. I guess your wife can come too. *eyeroll*
Also, SORRY. I used to watch that movie all the time as a kid. And we all know kids are dumb. I can't really be held accountable.
Way creepier than your once upon an Intern. ;)
And thank you. <3
Thanks! I practically begged, so I'm assuming your mean by begging was impressive? ;)
I assume remembering that one time you pushed a bowling ball out of your vag will be easier to remember that one time you wrote a post. I'm hoping, anyways.
Thank you! Me too. I don't have a lot of friends.
I can has that on my gravestone? Also: see you in January!! Hopefully.
Oh, stop it! You were right there with me when I discovered my love for kicking zombie babies. Thank you.
My blog loves you too! It told me so!
It's totally catchable through the Internets. I'll kick them both for you.
I think after quoting the clowns line, I fell even more in love with you. I didn't think it was possible. *kiss*
Okay, that interview was pretty intense.
You... also... watch... Problem Child 2?!?! Can we have a Problem Child movie marathon?! Please?!
EYEROLL. HIlarious. She still hasn't seen it... I know, like oh em gee and stuff.
I saw the first Problem Child at a special sneak preview screening. I had to close my eyes during the projectile vomit sequence, because, even as a kid, I was a super weenie.
