Nightclub - It Does a Body Good

Friday was a very busy day....we were shorthanded at work so I spent the day hopping all over the place getting tasks done.  After work I had to commute back to my home locale in order to hit Target for prescriptions, which of course weren't ready.  This meant hanging out at the store waiting, waiting, waiting.  Between this I was juggling text and phone calls between my kids and my guy, who was waiting for me at a local tavern to join him.  After leaving Target, I met up with Jordy to pass on some cash so he and his gal could see a movie.  I booked it home, changed my clothes ala Superman style, wiped the sweat off my brow and rushed on over to meet up with my guy.
Mani with a snowflake!
It was a Long Island Ice Tea kind of night.  Buddies Chari and Mike joined us to paint the town red; I left my car at our first stop and my guy became our designated driver. After our first stop and two Long Islands, we made our way over to a new nightclub named Brunos.  The one problem with this place is there is a local pizza landmark also named Brunos.  We could tell this Brunos was no competition for the landmark; while it was nice inside, it was also dead.  This didn't prevent me from having another loaded ice tea.  We then boogied down the street to the town's only casino, where we passed up the card tables in favor of the nightclub, which was packed. 

Although I professed to my dude that I'm not much of a dancer, when my tank is filled with alcohol, I become Tony Manero from Saturday Night Fever.  I boogied like I hadn't done in years and must admit, it was fun!  No wonder in my twenties I was able to keep weight off due to frantic dancing every weekend - I was a little sweatball after my adventures on the dance floor.  Hit the sack around 2:30 am...it was a long evening but fun. 

The next morning my beau drove me over to pick up my car. He hopped out and as I reached my rig, he gave me $20 to help me out with the mani/pedi I planned to obtain.  So nice, although in my "morning after" getup it was a little awkward being dropped off and being handed cash. 

Later that morning I got my mani/pedi, shopped a little with Jordan, picked out new eyeglasses for son Sam, and picked up a sheer black and gray top from Sears for a steal - $4.50, which I wore that night with my guy to darts.  I also picked up two pairs of clearance heels from Payless during their BOGO sale. 
One of my new BOGO shoes!
Today I spent some quality time with my BFF having a Mexican lunch then hitting the theater to watch Breaking Dawn.  Yes, we are Twilighters and proud of it!!  After the movie, I picked up some groceries at Walmart before arriving home to collapse.  It was a very busy, late night weekend and I'm beginning to feel it, especially when I look at how much laundry needs to be done!!
