my valentines

"the best thing to hold onto in life is each other."

my friend, amy, is moving to dubai in a couple of weeks, and she came into town for the weekend.  valentine's day with the ladies = best idea ever.  we hit up downtown on friday night.  all inhibitions aside, we shamelessly re-entered "college mode"....drinking vodka from a flask in the  ladies room, attempting to "krump", making the dueling piano's sing dirty songs to amy, and overall drinking more alcohol than we can handle.  saturday's activities included shopping and making unnecessary purchases (scarves with pockets?), dinner at our favorite sushi joint, and drinks at zan (a club downtown for you non-springfield blogees).  as we arrived home, we realized that the keys were locked in the house, so we had a massive shack session at a friend's house.  i love when you wake up after a nice group shack session and take a gander at your sleep conditions.  i woke up on a mattress in an empty room that contained nothing but three old water bottles and a q-tip, still wearing my coat, with one earring nearly poking through my skull.  it also looked like a stuffed animal committed suicide in this room.  

anyway, i digress......

we went to brunch this morning to laugh about life and eat our body weight in pancakes.  we parted ways a few hours ago, and my face still hurts from smiling.  i almost laughed my face off this weekend....literally.  i will

 never forget the memories we made this valentine's day.  my girls mean the world to me.  thank you for being my valentines!
