Thanksgiving Weekend
Wow, I'm still recovering from my busy Thanksgiving weekend. It was up and down but I learned alot of hard lessons.
Lesson #1 - always bribe the cops when having to stand in line at a nightclub.
Thanksgiving night I went to a club that I hear is always a hot spot to be at on this particular night. My friend has a habit of getting out late and I dreaded the long lines and plus it was with a doubt the coldest night of the year. So, to compromise I decided we'd buy the tickets early and come back at a later time so she can make her fashionably late appearance.
To make sure we'd be able to re-enter I flirted with a cop and told him I'd bring him a hat when I returned. We drive back to the club in separate cars but I have to make a detour to Walgreen's to buy the cops hat. I get lost on the way back so it's about midnight when I make it back to the club. First of all, there are no parking spots left and secondly, they're not letting anyone else in the club.
I was so upset because we'd already paid and I'd waited in the cold just for them to turn me away. I finally see the cop who I'd flirted with earlier and he lets me in. By this time I'm still in bad mood and the night was a total waste even though I got into the club.
Maybe not. I'm planning on going back to see if the cops there again. I'm gonna bring him some hot chocolate.
Lesson #2 - Black Friday is definitely a day to request off from work.
Yeah, I worked at Filene's the day after Thanksgiving and the shoppers were vicious. I was working the men's dept that day and two of my customers almost got into a fight over taking too long in line.
My feet were hurting so bad that night and I had no one to rub them. : ( How sad is that?
I did find an Izod coat on sale for $39.99- with my discount it would be $29.99 but I figured I really didn't need it. Plus, I'd already bought my cousin a Dooney and Burke wallet/purse.
Lesson #3 - Never offer to drive - ever!
At the last possible hour on Saturday night, my friend and I decide to go the Hippodrome which is about an hour and a half away. We agree that she'd drive there and I'd drive home. In other words, I wouldn't be able to drink (yeah I'm still having my occasional drink).
When we arrive we realize that it definitely wasn't worth the drive. We were invited to VIP and a guy whose birthday it was offered me some Moet. I said sure because I didn't think I could get drunk off of that.
We're leaving VIP and the guy is handing me a new bottle of Moet to take with me. My friend is closer to him and she takes the bottle. I say, in a joking manner, "he was handing it to me". She catches an attitude and says "Here! Here! You can drink! Here, you can drink!"
I'm wondering why is so so excited and why is she repeating herself. When we leave she's getting into the driver's seat and I tell her that I'm driving. She says she's not tired and she'll drive home. I asked if she was sure and got into the car. I'm thinking to myself that if I hear her mention anything about me never driving back from clubs I just might snap.
As soon as this thought enters my mind, a mutual friend of ours asks her why she doesn't like to drive to NY but was willing to drive to Mass. One of her reasons was because she always has to drive home because I'm always getting drunk.
I stop her immediately and tell her don't ever expect me to offer to drive. Was I wrong? I don't care - this is the third of fourth time I was supposed to drive and she ended up driving anyway. I should've gotten drunk.
Lesson # 4 - Never fall asleep in the club.
