Late Dinner + Wine = Delirious Morning

Good morning! As the title of the post states, I am delirious this morning. I am exhausted. I'm generally pretty tired by the time Friday rolls around because I'm tired all week and never manage to catch up on sleep. I've been on the same schedule for a couple of years now (I wake up at 5:30am) and have NEVER adjusted to it. Ugh.

I generally try to go to bed between 9-10pm. Last night, I went out to dinner with some girls (Megan, Beth and Suz!) and didn't get home until 11pm. Most of you are probably like, "and...?" but hello? I need at least 8 hours of sleep to be normal. I...am...so...freaking...tired.

I was a little perterbed with the restaurant we went to last night. This week is Baltimore Restaurant Week. Baltimore does this twice a year where lots of area restaurant offer a limited menu for a low set price (usually $30). It gives people a chance to try out different restaurants that they may have not tried before. This also means everyone and their mothers goes out to dinner.

We went to Sascha's 527 in Mt. Vernon. I called A MONTH AGO to make a reservation for Thursday, August 2nd at 6:30pm. The manager called me this past Tuesday (July 31) so confirm my reservation FOR THAT NIGHT! I freaked. He apologized, looked in the book and there was still an available timeslot for Thursday. At 7:45pm. Wha...?! I was already annoyed but at this point - everyone had rearranged their schedules for this particular evening.

We all got there around 6:45ish and hung out at the bar. We notice that its 8pm and we still haven't been seated. The manager came by to apologize profusely and gave us drinks on the house! Yipppeeeee! We were finally seated at 8:20pm.

The food was delish, the service was SLOW and we didn't get out until 10pm. Not that big of a deal but the drive home was horrible. I live in Baltimore. To get home, under normal conditions, would take approx 5-10 minutes. IT TOOK ME 45 MINUTES TO GET HOME!

Why you ask? Because the Shop Boyz were in town and their show just let out. I am super uncool because I have no idea who these guys are but good gravy, thug life was everywhere.

Megan was a wee bit tipsy from the wine and before we knew that Shop Boyz were in town, she rolled down the window and said she wanted to ask what was going on. Nobody really paid any attention to her but it was still pretty funny. She also hung out of the window to get another driver's attention to let me over and when they initially didn't see her, she declared, "well that's not very nice." HILARIOUS.

We also drove by "the block". For those of you not from Baltimore, the block is the area in Baltimore dedicated to porn stores and strip clubs. Classy stuff. And it started a story of how I had to go to the porn store to find one of my boyfriend's favorite genre of porn. Female Ejaculation porn. For those of you curious, there is a series called, "Oh My Gush" but its not really ejaculation... its more water going into the hoo-ha and getting quifed out.

Wow - why do people even talk to me? Why do I admit to these things? Because it cracks me up.

This weekend is all about completing the backsplash in the kitchen and sleeping. What is everyone else up to?
