Saturday night the dude and I went via limo and like, 9 other people to the grand opening of this club named Opera. It was actually a birthday party that we went with. Holy crapola. It.was.awesome. Most of the time, I'm not much of a nightclub/lounge kind of person. But I admit that every now and then I freaking love it.
Also seriously, the last time I was in a limo was probably high school prom.
But now, I'm still struggling to feel rested and today I started to get that twinging itch in my throat. I must not get sick. Not that I'm doing much, but I am really trying to run a little bit every day before the Army 10-Miler and getting sick would stop that.

Mixed Signals
If you really want to laugh, do yourself a favor when you're having a rough day and click this link: http://trololololololololololo.com/
It's the stupidest thing EVER. But it's ridiculously funny.
I went out last night, on a school night, with MB, for Mike from Mike and Mike in the morning's birthday. I hurt today. I would seriously go to sleep now and sleep until tomorrow. And I had so much fun, but he's killing me with the mixed signals crap. It all goes back to that yellow/red flag and him just getting out of a 3 year relationship. I swear, my timing.....boo.
Also, I move in like, 5 days. I haven't even started packing. UGHHHHHHHH.

Going Out On School Nights
Oh crap, Sarg went out on a school night and had tooooooooo much fun. Last night, my little from my sorority who works part time at Sign of the Whale invited me to their staff invite night. It was a free hour of open bar from 9 to 10. So MB and I trekked there, and on the way saw something like this van:
It pulled over right as we were walking by, but then I noticed it was a church group, and they had a few more not-so-creepy vans behind it. Weird.
Then, Zig came and met us and we enjoyed the free hour of booze and then it started to get crowded....really crowded. Zig said he had a friend who was bartending like at the next bar, Mighty Pint, so we went there. On our way out of Sign of the Whale I had a traumatizing sighting of my ex from college.
At Mighty Pint, Becky from Becky's Fund (of whom I've gone to Gold Cup with and get their emails, etc) was having some random thing where you vote on her laptop for.....something, and you get a free shot. So I had that to shake off the ex sighting, and they also were giving out pop chips and MB and Zig confiscated like 5 bags. It was pretty funny. Mighty Pint was a total blast, MB and I shortly met these 2 friends, Mike and Mike. No lie. Had I mentioned that on Saturday night MB and I met 2 guys named Winston and Vladimir. We checked their id's naturally.
Anyways, back to Mike and Mike, I have no idea how we even started chatting with them, but I ended up dancing the night away and then we had a nice little evening. Although I have one complaint, this morning my face was so damn red from his scruff on his face. Dear friend, shave your face, because it's hurting mine. K thanks bye. Anyways, today I was dead. So dead that I didn't get to work until 11. Whoops. Then I had to come home and take a nap because I just can't function. I'm even skipping the gym tonight because I just don't have the energy, which is unheard of for me.
Well, it's time for some Pretty Little Liars and an early bedtime.

Yesterday Was A Bad Day
Not really bad, I just felt small, like my life wasn't moving forward, even though I know it's far from the truth. I'm having great adventures, working really hard but enjoying it, and overall things are going well. Blah.
Today was better. I came home and killed myself doing spin and then zumba. I've got an early happy hour, but I'm really excited because tomorrow night I'm going to Mr Days for Happy Hour. It's some charity thing thrown for my friend at work's friend. Did you follow that one? Anyways, there's a date auction and my work friend K tried to get me to be in it. Uhm, I'm all for meeting people, but selling myself, not happening. EVER. 1. I have stage fright like whoa. 2. I am confident, but I don't honestly think I'm pretty or gorgeous or deserving of a paid date. I can't even get a normal date. Don't get my wrong, I'm not horrible (check the Buenos Dias link for proof), but jeez, that'd be too much for me. Anyways, if you're around, come support a good cause, and see me get drunk. Something like that.
Also, somewhat unrelated to everything else, Monday night I took Body Pump at Golds. Basically it's a class where you lift weights non-stop for an hour at a heart-pumping pace...hahah something like that. BITCH KILLED ME. My triceps hate her. And it's like, 2 days later.
Well ya'll, I hope you had a nice week and are looking forward to a great weekend.

Shiny Happy People
I realize that isn't the real video but the original video wouldn't let me fucking embed it. Of course.
Anyways, I really love love REM. Seriously, I had my first encounter with them when I was about 10 and I've had a secret soft-spot for them ever since.
I could not ask for better friends. After a 60 hour work week, I love that I can count on them to party like the best of them with me. Last night mb, katmcd, and I went to Bottom Line. Glen Coco came for a while too! After a while, I was just not having the greatest time and was thinking that I was just wasting time and money and since I have volleyball today I closed my tab around 12 with every intention of going home. No later than me putting down the pen I signed my check with do I look to my right and see Banana Bread Ray! BBR is a friend of mb and I's who we met actually while watching football last year (2009) at the pub. He is legitimately the nicest guy ever and his friends were hilarious. We ended up hanging out with them and taking yeager bombs (I had at least 2....ick) and having a great time until the bar started to close up. The best part.....my tab was $10. I FUCKING LOVE THE BOTTOM LINE.
And not to toot my own horn, but I curled my hair last night and this morning it looks fucking amazing. What the hell? Ok, I'll take it.
And now, off to volleyball!

So Now I Get Dates on the Metro?
Last night was quite possibly the best Thursday that I've had in months. MB and I had plans to go to the DC Auto Show and see Randy Orton.
GOOD LORD THAT MAN IS HOT. He is as hot in person as he is on tv. I realize that someone like him would never ever want anybody like me, and I would really not ever want to be with someone like him. But goodness, I'm going to keep on looking.
After walking around for a bit, checking out cars and people-watching, we headed to Bar Louie to get these amazing S'more martinis and some dinner. The service was awkwardly slow and we decided to go to half-price pitcher night at La Tasca. Of course, sangria=happy sarg. After 2 pitchers and a fabulous time with mb, we walked to the metro. The wait for the red line was like 2 seconds, but at Metro Center, we had almost 20 minutes, but a blue line was coming. We were drunk and decided to get on and take it to Rosslyn to get a change of scenery (why? who fucking knows.) As we walked on the train, we notice the floors are really dark and there's something going on with the chairs. It looked like we had walked on to the fucking Champagne Room of the metro. Like, carpet/crushed velvet seats, and dark floors. We were mesmerized the entire ride to Rosslyn.
Once there, we drunkenly stumbled off the metro and start walking just like 10 feet to a spot with like, less people. On our way there, I almost walk into this guy, and he just kind of stops and stares, to which I respond (in true How I Met Your Mother fashion) Hi, have you met mb? We ended up chatting it up with this guy the entire wait for the orange line, and then on the metro until Courthouse when he got off. It was kind of random, like why was he taking the metro 1 stop, and why did we decide randomly to take the blue line instead of just waiting it out. Anyways, he works in Rosslyn, ironically for one of my competitors. On his way out, totally out of the blue he says, ok, Starbucks 1:30 on Monday? I blank stared for a while, and he was like, yes 1:30 Monday. Oh ok. So quite possibly on Monday I'll be meeting this guy. It was one of those very weird exchanges that I re-live and think, did that just happen?
If nothing else, even if this guy doesn't show up on Monday or we just have coffee and do nothing else, the chat last night was what I needed. It was the slap in the face that I needed to wake up and pull out of the random man coma I was in. I laughed a lot about it today.

Weekend Recap
Friday night was movie date night with MB and we saw Love and Other Drugs. It was....ok. I loved Jake Gyllenhall's character, but Anne Hathaway drove me nuts. I really liked watching their relationship develop throughout the movie and it was interesting seeing how the move progressed. I wonder if maybe I just didn't like it because I have so little faith that people(read: men) are like that. After the movie, I went to bed and slept until 12 the next day.
Saturday I had to close at work, but it was awesome because mb was also closing. Afterwards, we moved across the street to RiRa and met up with katmcd and Uncle Sam, this boy she's kind of seeing. As a back story, the 3 of us met Uncle Sam at the Night of the Living Zoo party. He remembered katmcd's name, facebooked her, and they've been friends ever since. I barely recognized him sans costume but he was tall and cute and so nice. He was constantly asking mb and I questions and was super engaging. Well done katmcd. RiRa was as usual a fabulous time. MB had us all taking oatmeal cookie shots(I have no clue what the hell was in this) and peppermint patty shots(peppermint schnapps and chocolate syrup). We were dancing and singing to this small trio band.
Oh, quick sidenote, Uncle Sam and I did this shot which was straight vodka with an olive. He said that if I take the shot and then eat the olive, I won't taste the vodka at all. I don't like olives, so I just took the shot, pushed the olive aside and moved on. But question, does that actually work?
Today was spent at work almost all day. I was pissed because I missed the Cowboys/Skins game, but I heard they won, so that's awesome. I'm just closing up the day with some movies and hopefully heading to bed early. I have a weird thought that even though this is only a 3 day week it's going to be SUPER long. But I still have 5 unopened presents (I only opened 1 so far!) to open on Saturday morning. I'm proud of myself. Happy Christmas Week!

Happy Last Full Week of Work in the Year!
So last night was amazing and here's what I came out of the party with:
1. No bar tabs
2. A fantastic dinner
3. A Jack/Diet Coke, 4 glasses of wine, 2 Miller Lites, 1 stolen Heineken, 1 stolen whiskey something
4. New friendships with coworkers and Erin's friend date
5. Blisters on my feet from my heels
6. My coworker was talking to some cop about her car when my group was leaving the bar. We all started screaming, "Woooooooo!" and "Hot Cop!"
7. People loved my koozie
8. We love to take over the entire back room of Sign of the Whale.
9. Our entire project team loves to drink and get down on the dance floor. Ridiculous, I know.
Tonight I'm going to see Love and Other Drugs with MB. I wanted to see it so I'm pretty excited. I'm also so freakin exhausted and I can sleep in tomorrow. It's going to be great!

No Updates
No updates on the job front. I had another call and an in-person meeting with a fabulous group from a second project. I am stressed. And now the first project can't let me know until tomorrow. Will I have to choose? I'm no good at this. I just want to be happy in my job. I think that just means I want to not hate the work and I want to enjoy my coworkers.
Really, does it matter? In exactly 1 hour and 30 minutes I will be having cheap but delicious beers at Rock Bottom. Yay!

I Wish I Was A Little Bit Taller
I wish I was a baller.
Today has been really stressful. I found out that I'm rolling off of my project on Friday (THANK FUCKING GOD). But now that means I have to find a new project, and hopefully quick. I'm really looking forward to moving on because I know what other great clients and projects my company has. Another plus side...this girl is working from home today. I just finished a nice work out (first in a few days...whoops) and am just thinking that it looks so beautiful outside. My balcony has the nicest view of Arlington and Falls Church and I just get to see all of the trees with their leaves changing colors. Makes me really wish I had a fireplace. The yule log channel doesn't really give that warming feeling so well.
Yesterday, I couldn't drag my ass out of bed/off my couch to support the Marine Corps Marathon runners, but I did manage to pull it together and get to the bar for the Cowboys game. What a depressing season it's been. With Tony out, we're just going downhill. Granted, I will still be at the bar every week getting harassed for liking America's Team. I mean, I'm from Dallas, just get over it already.
Also, one of my favorite movies ever is on. Meatballs, the one with Bill Murray from the 70s. I have NO clue why I like this movie, but I really just do.
I wish it was the weekend, I'm ready to get drunk, and since I haven't done many happy hours lately, I can't justify sitting around my apartment having a cocktail with Firefly vodka and passing out. Here's hoping.

Last night was sheer amazingness and I have no idea how I got home. I'm assuming J Coupon and A drove me? We went from Bottom Line taking a blow job shot and me kissing the bartender on the cheek to Mighty Pint and getting awesome light up crown, rings, and beer topper, to RiRa, where I went deaf, had tequila, and danced to an awesome band. Holy crap I love my life.

All Things Bachelor Related
So it occurs to me that I skipped out on telling you about my Friday night and Saturday night.
Saturday night I worked until 9 and then the rest is quickly recapped over at my friend katmcd's blog, and it includes a lot of flip cup and a run in with 4 contestants of the Bachelor/Bachelor Pad: Ashley(BP), Ashleigh(from Jake's season), Natalie(BP winner!), and Elizabeth(BP). The side story to katmcd finding them is that I had actually heard Ashley on Elliot in the Morning on DC101 earlier in the week talking about getting a Boomerang Bus and partying around DC. I knew they would be in DC, but I really dismissed it thinking there was no way they'd ever be where we were. So wrong. I actually talked to Ashley about this and she told me they couldn't get enough tickets sold, so they refunded everyone and told them to meet at 19th. What are the odds?
Friday night was not too much of anything really. I worked until 10 and then met katmcd, Doug Funny, MB, and K2 and the metro to go to a kickball friend's birthday over at Front Page. It was ok, but it was kinda late and I wasn't drinking much. We then wandered over to Big Hunt, and then went home. Nothing too spectacular.
Tonight is an ADPi alum happy hour at my favorite restaurant....La Tasca. Sangria, check. Tapas, check. Sisters, check. My little has texted me and gchatted me 3 times just this week to double check that I'm coming. I'm pretty excited about sangria getting back into my system. Typically we go on Thursdays because they have half-price pitchers. Tonight I'm not sure what their special is. But that's ok.
Tomorrow is kickball night and then almost the weekend. And really, I'm just counting the days until Hilton Head (3 for those counting with me). Yay vacation!

I Blame J Coupon
So, J Coupon is a very good friend of mine. We've known each other about 3 years and just get along really well. He can be honest with me and vice versa. He's engaged to A, now one of my good friends, and MB's college friend. Anyways, after our fantasy draft at Baileys last night, he wanted to stay and have a few more beers. Everyone(our friends) had left except for us so I sat with him and the other people there until 2am. 2am! on a TUESDAY! Needless to say I'm exhausted today. And I have a hangover. I'm working a suprise shift and then going to the pub for the pre-football party that we always go to. I'll be late, and I'm sad about that, but like, extra work=extra money. And since I'm Hilton Head bound next Saturday, I want to have a little reserve.
In other news, I haven't gotten 1 work email today. What a joke. Katmcd and I have been talking about our upcoming vacations and HH just looks gorgeous. I've never been anywhere like it and I so enjoy that it'll be on the beach and relaxing and there's a full kitchen and it's just a beautiful looking hotel/villa. I also was stalking Disney World for hotel and tickets and park hours, etc. I'm officially vacation obsessed.
Tomorrow is kickball day and it's a beach theme. I went to the Dollar Tree and bought katmcd and I some awesome ocean pets, but couldn't find much else. Either way, GO MIGHTY DRUNKS!

Twilight Zone Part 2
Saturday morning, I woke up and literally drug my ass to the gym for a quick workout before a long day of really random and super fun events. I drove over to katmcd's for a pool date. It was so weird though because as soon as we sat down, it was a thousand degrees, and every time we went into the pool, it was cloud cover. But we got a nice little tan, quickly changed clothes and picked up katmcd's friend to go to the H St. Biergarten Haus. I think the short version is her friend just got married and during the after party they went to a similar place in Michigan and wanted to drink out of a boot, and this was a place you could do it. The drive over was weird bc we hit everyone coming back from the Glen Beck rally and got diverted on Constitution. Also, H St is an "up and coming neighborhood." (read: ghetto) I happen to get really uncomfortable in places like this but whatever. We found it, parked and entered into a tiny little row house and were greeted by a foreign girl (points for the accent at a German Biergarten). We started following her and the patio just never ended. It was a huge backyard of shared picnic tables, a bar, and a lot of TVs. The three of us sat down with this older couple and ordered 3 Radlers and some pretzel rolls. Radlers are a mix of beer and 7up, basically a Shandy if you know what those are. The older couple were nice enough but started awkwardly PDA-ing. After the large beer, I was tired, hungry for real food since they didn't start serving there until 5, and wanted a shower, so we left. But as we were leaving, this guy pulls my arm so I turn around and says, "Hey, have you met Greg?" I laugh hysterically and tell katmcd, "omg, that guy just pulled a Hi have you met Ted game on me!" We all laughed and then kept walking. Katmcd and I went back to her place, and traded cars and I drove us back to my place.
While at my place, we just cleaned up, ate California Tortilla, and were sitting around before it was time to leave and go to the most random house party ever, and I get a text message. The text is from this guy who I used to be good friends with, but there was a falling out of sorts and we haven't talked in 6 months. The text read like we had just hung out like last weekend and he was hosting people over for the UFC fight. I sat there stunned for a solid 10 minutes not knowing what was going on. So after I digest it, I just simply respond back, "I have other plans. I'll let you know if they change. Thanks for the offer." Simple, polite, and not "Oh hey, wtf are you texting me for, we don't talk anymore." I found out the next day that a bunch of our friends went over there, a lot of whom were in the same boat as me and hadn't talked to him and his roommate in a long time. and had a great time, but everyone just acted like the last 6 months hadn't happened. I guess I can appreciate that though, and while I had fun where I went, I was interested in being there too.
After all of that, katmcd and I hopped in the car and we started the trek to Bryan's Road, MD. We had to google this place to double check it existed. A friend of katmcd's that she met through work had a party to watch UFC, and she was invited, and brought me. Neither of us had a clue what to expect but it was ok. We were met outside by her friend and were walked inside to meet the few people who were there. A husband and wife who owned the home, and another couple. Oh.My.God. wtf is this? We go into the kitchen for a drink, and are suddenly surrounded by a child running around. She had Disney Princess chairs everywhere though, so that was fun. Some of the party highlights included flip cup, having nicknames within 10 minutes of us being there (Little Miss Educated, Miss Backboard, etc), wrestling outside, shoes in the pool, a man crying, a male stripper in a leopard print(he said it was camo) cast, one of the guys calling katmcd his sister and me his cousin (oh west virginia) and beer pong. And quite possible the best thing form the night was katmcd and I tried to leave at one point, got in my car, turned it on, turned on my lights, put it in gear and were literally stopped before I could drive by a couple (we loved the girl) and the house owner guy. Oh no, we couldn't leave. They weren't ready to see us go. So we went back inside. Then katcmd and the house owner exchanged numbers and I guess he gave it out to some of the party and then got my number and they love us. I have no idea why. We both were mean to their faces, but they loved it. And they kind of played mean to us too. Whatever, it worked. I had stopped drinking about 3 hours before we left so I was tired and ready to go around 2 and we actually did leave.
Sunday katmcd, R, A, and I went to Six Flags in MD and had an amazing time. A lot of sun, lines were non-existent, we did the water park too. Long weekend, amazing stories, and new friends.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that in the car on the way to the Biergarten, katmcd looked over and said, oh there's Sarah from America's Next Top Model. Sure enough, there she was, just walking on the street near Chinatown. Weird right?

Baileys $2 Drafts Kill....People
I'm stealing that from K2's gchat status right now. Last night, I had a Networking committee meeting at Union Jacks. It was our first one and the team is really cool. But then I convinced K2 to meet me at Bailey's for $2 drafts. Instead of writing about it, I'll just post emails I've been sending and receiving this morning. But I will preface that this encounter only included talking and drinking at baileys, a bit of making out outside of my apartment building, and then we went our seperate ways. So random.
Me: so i now have 1/5 of my halloween costume thanks to some guy named ....who I met at Baileys and made out with. Except its the ADUs hat and not BDUs hat jungle style. Whatever though, bc it comes fully stocked and with a 1st leiutenant pin. oh baileys, you kill me. did i also mention while i was waiting for K2, brad and kerry were coming back from rock bottom and hi, they were awesome. they came in and had a drink with us and chatted AND........i got us back in the fantasy league! AND i got him to do the baileys draft again. WHO AM I???????
MB: omg! and here i was sound asleep by 10 pm. your hilarious. i have no idea what an ADU is. is it your beret? your hilarious. what time did you get home. hilarious about fantasy draft. all of us are back in? and when is it then? and your sarah who is awesome.
Me: oh my bad. ACU...army combat uniform. desert digital. hahaha. omfg mb, so let's see....the three of us plus E are in the draft, well, i sent B his email, and hopefully he'll follow through and invite us all. we don't know when bc he hadn't thought about it before i said it. so once i told him about you calling and checking and it being the same deal we had already, him and kerry were in. hahah wtf. and my networking group...they are awesome! i recongnized a few kids from that chicago training but overall everyone's nice and like to drink a lot. so i think that's a good thing i'm doing. i stopped at starbucks today and got a breakfast sammie and coffee and am feeling soooo tired. last time i looked at the clock it was 230am. did i mention that the kid was a wounded war vet from afghanistan(airforce)....? he had broken his leg over there and was waiting for it to heal to be sent back over. sooooo random.
katmcd: oh jeez sarg. so he gave you his uniform? okay, i know exactly what you have now. i can picture it. too funny. do we plan on seeing him again or is this a game of finders keepers?
Me: and i'm going to blame my networking group, bc i was good after 2 beers. i was gonna go home, and go for a run. but no, they made me get a 3rd and therefore i had to call K2 and go to baileys. did i also mention that the kid K2 was talking to, they were talking about books and she made him a reading list?

Today it's Cloudy With a Chance of Hangover
Last night MB, K2, and I went to Clarendon Ballroom. We were supposed to go to Russia House but katmcd wasn't feeling great so we postponed that idea so the four of us could all go together.
Anyways, we got there early and went up to the rooftop bar. Soon after finishing our first beer this guy comes up to us and introduces himself as "Token." He's black and cute and I was honestly so confused that his name couldn't possibly be that, but also, why would he label himself that? After chatting with this man for a while these are the things I found out:
1. He has a last name that's a first name. So basically he had 2 first names. Kind of weird but I know it happens.
2. The man had an absurd amount of branding on his body, done by his fraternity in college. Not only were they like everywhere, but some of them were HUGE. I wish I had taken a picture.
3. He drives a 95 supra. I have no idea why this was important but we did talk about cars last night. Super weird.
We separated from him and his friends and then spent the rest of the night just dancing away and laughing at the ridiculousness that is the ballroom. A lot of military men, a couple of a lot of sluts, and a lot of running away from creepsters.

Keg Bus FTW!
The Keg Bus was a HUGE success. I don't know why, but everyone was in great spririts, and with the one exception of one of J Coupon's douchey friends calling me a cunt (which, btw, I don't like that word, I don't use it, I think it's really degrading). getting upset and then having Zig try and beat the shit out of him, I had the best time. Obviously Justin's friend's were left at that bar and we went elsewhere.
This is the list of bars we made it to and the list of drinks:
Hamilton's-Shot of Tequila, Dollar PBRs, complete with can pyramids
Blackfinn-1 beer, Pinapple Upside Down Cake shot, a lot of Champagne straight from the bottle
Stoney's-uhm....a beer?
Crystal City Sports Pub-Scooby Snack shot
And I finished my entire bottle of boones! And why did we get dropped off in the middle of nowhere? And who did I get taquitos with? And why did I drunk dial Peter? And how did I not vomit? And how did I play softball this morning?

I Got a Feelin
That Tonight's Gonna Be a Good Night!
Randomly enough, I got told that I don't have to come into work today! What a nice suprise. I did some errands and cleaned my apartment today and am just resting up until around 7 when I head over to MB's to meet up with her, K2, and katmcd for pregaming for this:
Oh Kegbus....you will be an interesting evening. Did I also forget to mention that I won a VIP thing at Blackfinn tonight? 10-1. See ya there. Or maybe by 10pm I'll be blackout.

You Don't Look 30, You Look...Uhm, 28
I got home at 2:30 this morning. I feel like this:
But I have to get through the day. Softball was Ok. We won, but it's hard with so many people coming out to games now. Then we went to the pub and drank and ate some dinner. Everybody kind of left all together and me, J Coupon, and Zig were left. Just like old times.
Tonight I'm skipping the bar for kickball (since we have a bye week this week) and heading to the gym and then home to sleep. Or duh...watch Jersey Shore! Let the fist pumping begin.
Also, mud run....t minus 2 days. FML.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks
I'm up pretty early this Saturday morning, and playing on Hallmark channel is Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Let me just tell you that I have this on VHS and I've just always loved it. My favorite part is when they're in the animated part and it's coming up soon.
Then I'm heading to the pool with MB, the gym, ATL to work for a while, and finally Zig's divorce party. I'm honestly pretty excited about this party and my black eyes have finally gone down a tiny bit. I do have to go buy 4 bottles of champagne though. And hopefully I can meet someone who looks like this:
