I'm just going to say this about the whole Train station problem before I even start: I saw Liz mad for the first time, and we were BOTH pissed off (I HATE this damn city), the weekend started off on the wrong foot but once in Chicago all was good.
I had an AWSOME weekend!!! Kara is so nice!! It was ackward at first(Kara I am sorry for being so painfully shy! I am socially inept) but that also had to do with the fact that as she was walking towards us I had my glasses off(cleaning them) and I didn't notice that it was her until I put them back on. And like Liz mentioned walking around you can't really talk to much, but it was nice to have a leader of the group.(although I don't think she enjoyed the position as much as we thought she would. ;) But it is always nice to just have company and not know that you are alone. :) But we got to Burghoff's and we got to talking about KITH and that broke the ice. Kara and Liz were talking about how it looked like resturants in KITH sketches. LOL, it reminded me of the KITH sketch w/the Nobody Likes Us Guys where Kevin throws up his liver, but I thought that would be a little inapropriate to say while we were eating. It was too funny, the food was delicious, but they gave us a whole "tree" of broccoli, and at one point i'm trying to cut it with out having it fling everywhere and I can sence Liz and Kara staring at me, so I look up and sure enough they were. So that made me more nervous about cutting it, and the fork slid or whatever and Liz like freaks out like broccoli was gonna go in her face, and that caused a little laugh.(I'm such a spaz) After that Kara got us a piece of German Chocolate Cake to split and it was WAY awsome! It reminded us all of the "dipping areas" sketch so we had a laugh at that as well! After Dinner we headed for the train station and it started to rain, hehe, Kara was the only smart one, she wore a coat. It didn't rain to bad though so that was good! Then we parted ways. :) But Kara was alot of fun, I felt at ease around her and I hope we can hang out with her again! lol, if I haven't scared her away. ;)
So we get home and let the Monkee Marathon begin! lol! I LOVED watching the Monkeed w/her! It was everything I dreamed of and more! lol! We took a break to go visit Ruben at work and get Liz's hair dye. I wanted my hair cut SO BAD, and I was gonna sweet talk Lizzy into doing it for me, but she didn't trust herself, so THEN I was gonna have Ruben do it, but my said she would do it.(she's very protective of my "beautiful" hair as she calls it.) So w/tears in her eyes she cut off my hair. It was the longest it had ever been, and she wasn't happy about it, so of course I felt guilty but she DID cut it on her OWN free will. Then I dyed Lizzy's hair and I would just like to take the time to boast(I don't do it very often anyway) and say that Liz's hair looks AWSOME!!!! I was so nervous that it wouldn't turn out but it did!
After that we went to a movie w/Ruben. And it was SO cool to go to the movies w/my 2 best friends!!! Ruben didn't get half the stuff we were laughing at but thats ok, he says he still had fun. The highlight of the night was when John Cleese came on screen and me being the ASS that I am I squeeled and giggled, which then caused Liz to start laughing at me, and caused Ruben to ask: "What? What?!" Such a geek. After than we came home and watched more Monkees. I think Liz was getting tired of them, but she put up w/them for my sake. It was funny because i'm so dumb I was laughing at EVERY LITTLE THING they did, including the stupid/lame jokes. So mostly it was me laughing at the Monkees and Liz laughing at me laughing at The Monkees. But it was fun. We didn't get threw all the Monkee stuff by Sunday so Liz decided to stay another night so we could get threw them and i'm so glad she did! We got threw everything she brought. I didn't want her to get too burned out on the Monkees so we listened to CDs and stuff and made potholders together and that was WAY fun!
Liz also let me barrow two books: Total Control: The Michael Nesmith Story by Randi L. Massingill and The Long Sandy Hair of Neftoon Zamora by Nez I started reading Total Control Monday and I am already finished with it! lol, i'm so proud of myself!
