It was a long Nashville weekend full of celebrating Halloween and football victories, which lead to my demise.
Seriously. How a weekend full of fun feels come Sunday.
It all started out on Halloween with a some gussied up gals at work.
The sweetest slice of pizza ever, an ass clown of a ghoul and Bat Girl.
My Iowa twins were happily acting like their favorite animals on the planet.
Princess Kit Kat and Prince Bow Wow.
Instead of roaming the streets in packed bars downtown, I bellied up at my fave watering hole, Dalts for my All Hallows’ Eve treats.
Skinny Pirates instead of tricks for me.
Turns out I needed a nose job in order to properly guzzle my glass of rum.
Cocktail fail.
After I performed emergency surgery on my schnoz, everything was right in the world.
Nose job completed.
I avoided over consumption of my beloved rum, as there was some tailgating to tackle Saturday morning.
Typical treats.
Thing is, this Saturday our Iowa Hawkeyes decided to show up and play ball. In a major way. And we bravely carried on our family tradition of a moonshine shot for every touchdown the Hawks scored.
Problem was, we were victorious with a score of 48-7.
Shot one…
Shots two, three and four and five…
Happy with the sixth…
And doing toe touches Golden Girls style for a victory “dance”.
Happy with warm bellies and less brain cells, Mom and I thought it’d be a good idea to go honky tonkin’ downtown to cap off our Saturday.
Never wanting the party to end. Ever.
But the fun came to a screeching halt the following morning.
Seriously. What the fuck?
Combining moonshine shots, toe touches, vodka and spinning around a dance floor like a contestant on Dancing With the Stars made it impossible to feel human before noon.
Not even enough energy to thwart suicide attempts by New Cat. (He lived)
But I had the best couch date ever who snoozed by my side from dawn ’til dusk.
Party pooped pussy.
Even though my self-inflicted pain, all of the shenanigans were worth it…
I think.

And you’re still going strong! I expect nothing less. N.C. needs to get his act together. What the hell. Ted, well, now that’s just plain adorable. Glad to see a favorite trio of mine is still up to good “no-good.”
Well, strong might be a bit of an over statement….I’m still going…slowly! N.C. is such an ass but I must say he was traumatized by his first Halloween costume event, so I can’t say I blame him.
Sounds like nothing a few bloody mary’s would not cure!
You got that right, my friend! Back in the saddle already. 🙂
Way too much fun, until it stops – best cure all, don’t stop! 😉
Baz, you’re one smart dude! This weekend, I will refuse to stop the fun train.
Biiiiig win for the Hawkeyes. Way to go, CBXB. How ’bout my Terps winning at Penn State with last-minute FG? I was out at a big dinner but I VCR’d it. Yay.
I saw Terps won last second and silently high fived you! Victorious weekend for both of our teams – and I also partied for the both of us….
Yeah, I saw that from your Sunday morning photo, CBXB. Or was it Sunday afternoon already? Thanks for the high-five. I was in the Carrier Dome for the first half of the Syracuse game (’til we had to leave for the birthday party dinner) watching the Iowa score piling up and silently high-fiving for the Hawkeyes, too. Two good reasons for that. The Orange was miserable. 😦
Yeah, the Orange didn’t do so well…maybe better luck for them this week?!
Orange plays Duke this week, one-loss only this season so far. Uh-oh. Last home game for my dear wife Karen and I to go to for the season, CBXB 😦 It went by so fast!
How is college football almost over already?! Maybe this will be a game to remember!
I found out after I wrote that comment that Syracuse’s freshman QB, the replacement for the original hurt QB, is now out with an injury. Orange down to third-string QB. So an upset would be a game to remember, my friend!
Syracuse seemed to hang in there for a long while!
Yes, three quarters playing even and then the big collapse. Better luck next year. My Terps host Michigan State on Saturday, and I am unsure if I am happy or unhappy that the Spartans blew up against Ohio State and lost their chances at the playoff Saturday night. Will they be mad or flat? Oh boy.
My fingers are crossed for a Terps victory my friend! Sparty seems to be really hit or miss, never mediocre. Positive vibes sent your way!
Ted looks so squishy and sweet! I can’t believe New didn’t bail off the rail and take off. He must realize he has it made.
Ted is the squishiest, sweetest cat on the planet (until I dress him up). New New is realizing his “rags to riches” situation, although he likes to test his nine lives by clumsily perching up on the railing…probably to give me a heart attack or continue being high maintenance by falling off and spraining a paw. That cat!
Admire the way you party CBXB. Sunday Mornings suck when Saturday nights rule!!!! But that is just the price we pay for playing the game right? Glad you made it through. Keep the Jazz Hands at the ready friend.
Back to Jazz Handing today! Yeehaw! A little sleep, lots of liquids (including wine, naturally) and some Teddy time was just the cure I needed. Yeehaw!
One of these days I’m going to join you for a weekend. It’s on by bucket list. It may kill me, but I’m doing it, dangit!
I won’t let you die! But if you happen to while we’re bucket listing together, I’ll be sure to write a funny post about it. You know you’re welcome anytime – even the cats want you to come!
I have to ask. .. When you lift your nose, does your tongue always stick out? That happens w my katz.
That picture just stood out. I missed the whole rest of the part 🙂
Ha! I guess I am more of a crazy cat woman than I thought!! Such a ladylike photo. 🙂
Haha our favorite party girl never lets us down. We only wish we could party with our family like that, lol but when it comes to our parents, we’re always ready to deny deny deny! LOVED the costumes. That pizza looks almost as sweet as those Iowa twins. We can always count on Ted to nurse you back to health…if only till the next weekend 😉
… and we’re off to find a pizza joint that’s open past 10pm …
XOXO Nensi and Natasha
Did ya find a pizza joint open past 10pm?! Where would I be without my nurse, Ted? But, tomorrow is Friday and we’ll be back into the party swing again…maybe! We’ll see what my liver says. XOXO
Oh, where was that cup when I was in college??
I mean, that cup should be given to every entering college freshman.
Aah so sweet Teddy when he was sleeping, you’re right it was worth ! 🙂 P.S. compliments for how you all deal with it (the problem) of your Victory !! I wouldn’t have been able too !?
Ha! I was feeling a mess come Sunday – lucky to have Teddy snuggling by my side. Victories are sweet – but hard when you drink moonshine!!
