my awesome weekend

  • Whoo what a weekend I had mother. I've been up since like 7:30am yesterday, so I'm just a little pooped. I'm going to try my best to describe the last few days in as much detail as possible. I haven't had a chance to upload any pics since I barely had time to run by my house for 5 minutes before buying gas and heading off to work. I'll be doing a MAJOR blog on the Mandys N More page tomorrow (or maybe later on tonight, whatever) and I'll repost all the pics and stuff in a day or so over here. Oh and videos too, I think I'll try to edit everything into a 10 minute montage.. haha.
  • Okay so first of all I worked here on Friday night from 3pm until about 8:30pm. I was supposed to get off at 7:00, but no one told the weekend overnight guy he was supposed to come in early. I called him and he showed up like an hour afterwards. That was all overtime, baby. Yay. After that I had a nice late dinner with Michelle at Applebee's.
  • Saturday morning I ran the board for a live remote from the San Jose Tech Museum for KDFC. It was fun, I love participating in live radio. I love counting jocks down after every single song/stopset. Keeps me on my toes. They even gave me a shout-out during their last break.. John was like "Lisa, you're the bomb!" Okay after that I headed off to Lodi to hang with Kimmie for the duration of the weekend + Monday. We had SO much fun. Just that night we indulged ourselves with such bad cinema like NKOTB's "Step By Step" video, about 2 hours or so of cheesy 80s commercials I had on videotape, A Friendship In Vienna, and Home Team starring everyone's favorite Dancing With The Stars contestant, Steve Guttenberg. (Everyone knows I love Steve Guttenberg, my sister Michelle called while I was driving to tell me he was on TV.. LMAO) We had an awesome homemade dinner that night courtesy of Chef Kimmie. Tasty cheeseburgers with sauteed mushrooms and oven baked french fries. YUM! Oh yes and mudslide milkshakes made with chocolate chip ice cream. We were in binge heaven.
  • Okay on Sunday we woke up around 9:30am or so, and Kimmie made some awesome french toast for breakfast. The fattening yumfest was continuing. So were the awful choices in cinema. Okay first we saw a bad Family Channel movie made in 1996 called Dad, The Angel and Me starring Judge Reinhold (of course) and Carol Kane. So cheesy, and his hair was awful. I have pics of that coming. Next, a great third season episode of Greatest American Hero entitled Wizards and Warlocks guest starring Bob Saget. Wait till you see those screencaps people. Then I showcased a cheesy first season episode of MacGyver called Ugly Duckling. I swear Richard Dean Anderson and this chick had the same mullet hairdo going on. Then we watched a two parter episode of Highway To Heaven about this blind chick falling in love with some guy with a huge birthmark on his face. Guest starred Ralphie from A Christmas Story and a gentleman Kimmie refers to as "40-year-old Chris".. I forgot to take pics, sorry Kimmie. After this a first season episode of St. Elsewhere guest starring Jeremy Licht (who also is my Blue Cross insurance agent.. lemme know if y'all need coverage, I can get you the hook up). It was so cute, so was Howie Mandel's rockin jew-fro. Next, yet another episode of Highway to Heaven, this one about this fat girl who really seems to love donuts that makes friends with the school jock when she tutors him in algebra. Yeah I think if I was going off the deep end into Krispy Kreme Land and Michael Landon showed up I'd be a bit distraught. Probably more so since he's dead and that would be a whole new set of issues. I can still see this girl's pain, none the less. After this, I threw on Staying Alive, the horrible sequel to Saturday Night Fever starring John Travolta and Cynthia Rhodes. Directed by Frank Stallone with Frank himself and the Bee Gees doing the soundtrack. About this time Kimmie's sister Carol came over since she helps her with housechores and stuff. I think John Travolta gyrating around in tights was a good visual aid for us all. Then, about 5 minutes after Carol left, the toilet started flooding. I mean like water spurting in the air and going everywhere. I took pics and video of that one. Carol came back to help us as we waited for the plumber that management was sending. I was emptying the water out of Swifty's litterbox into the toilet and kinda farted practically in Carol's face. Great moment. Eventually we got things under control and watched about 5 episodes of The Golden Girls back to back. During about the second episode the guy from Rotor Rooter came and fixed the toilet. He was very nice, I think his name was Jeff? Can't remember. By then we were exhausted and hit the hay. Oh I totally forgot, for dinner Kimmie made an AWESOME veggie lasagna from scratch and we had breadsticks as well. So good. Oh and cheesecake for dessert.
  • Monday, Kimmie actually got up before I did. I got up at 7:30am so all I can say is wow. We both put on rockin 80stastic outfits and I tried very hard to get my hair volumized. I used plenty of mousse, hairspray and gel. Also the hair dryer, a lot. Got kind of an effect. I think with that and the makeup I looked more like a "slut", but that's just me. While getting ready, we listened to my karaoke CDs (and my bad singing) and ate leftover cheesecake. Now that's what I call breakfast. Then we took several buses and ended up at Sherwood Mall there in Stockton. It's right next door to Weberstown Mall. Who the heck builds a mall next to another mall? Anyway, first thing we did was hit the food court. I had a chicken burrito for lunch. Yum. We perused lots of stores, and got our pictures taken with a cheesy lazer looking background. That will definitely be posted. I also saw the Easter Bunny and said hi, and took his pic from afar. Then we went to the mall next door, and did more browsing. I ended up buying a few funny things at Spencer Gifts, said hi to the other Easter Bunny and took his pic, and headed on back to pick up our pictures. Then we went and waited for the bus for about 3o minutes later when an interesting lady came up to ask us about the bus routes and asked if I was Kimmie's daughter. (ROTF) Okay so we were boarding the bus and I noticed the dude in front of me had a swastika tattooed on his arm. I was like "Oh crap". Mostly because the bus driver was black and there were many multicultured folks on the bus already. I'm not saying that because he was a skinhead or whatever that he automatically causes trouble, but still you never know. God was on my side and the ride went smoothly. We got back to Kimmie's place and ordered a veggie pizza from Woodbridge Pizza. They have one called the Slick Dick. I am not lying, I took pics of the menu. We got our order in about 20 minutes, and the delivery guy was HOT. In a college student kind of way. Oooh baby. Oh yes then we watched most of E.T. before I had to leave. All in all my weekend was awesome. Lots of adventure, plenty of weirdness.
  • Oh yes let me see if I can remember any random quotes from the weekend. "Dude he fuckin goosed Dee Wallace!!"... "If Peter Coyote and Richard Chamberlain could mate, that would be their lovechild. Poor Jenny Lewis."... "If I were a lesbian I would so not do Betty White.... " I'm sure there are more.. Kimmie feel free to list.
