I have a love of all things MTV Canada. In case you haven't watched MTV in the last 4 years...it no longer shows music videos it is pretty much all reality TV and that is it. Some of the shows are just plain heinous. I am particularly enjoying on of the newer shows "Engaged and Underage". These kids (think under 19) (!) are getting married. Every person in their lives tells them how dumb they are and advises against the ridiculousness, but they all get married anyway. I have yet to see a couple that I think will make it past 2 years of marriage. They live at home, some have kids and none have money. Why God why??? I guess everyone thinks they will marry that person they think they love for the first time. Thank god very few of us do it. Can you imagine being in your thirties and being married to the person you dated at 16? Good god...bring on the trailer park! Not to mention you can't even go to the bar for your stag party! Blasphemous!
And ya to me for all the good things happening this week! One of which is my new addiction to Facebook. This may be the best time waster ever! Like I need another one. People I haven't seen or heard from in years are coming out of the woodwork. So crazy.
My future husband is fighting tomorrow night and I am so excited. I love boxing and when Oscar fights I am enthralled and scared all at the same time. I really don't want his gorgeous face ruined for our wedding photos, but he is so sexy when he is pounding the crap out of his opponent. Before this I am planning a day of watching the Kentucky Derby. I know...I am addicted to the sports. Now that the Canucks are out I need something to bide my time. I have always loved the Triple Crown races and the horse races will always take me back to the funniest moment I think I have ever witnessed in my life. It was a lovely day at the track in a private box with an open bar with old company. Everyone was getting trashed and generally having a wonderful time...I hit on the amazingly hot 24-year old bartneder (who later called!) and all was good.
Erin decided she needed some "fresh air" and asked the barteneder if it would be OK to get some of the said "fresh air" out on the patio. Bartender looks super stunned (hot, but not so smart) and wonders aloud why Erin is asking his permission to go out on the patio to get fresh air. After some very overt hand actions and him still not getting what she is asking she decides to show him the "stuff" and proceeds to open her Tupperware container (I am sure Tupperware does not approve of this use of their product, by the way)and spill the "stuff" all over the bar, in the ice tub, all over the lemons and limes and the floor. I literally fell on the floor and thought I was going to die of laughter. I have never in my life laughed harder than this without the aid of mushrooms. It took me about 2 hours to stop laughing...I was crying and had mascara all over me from the tears. They had to change out the entire bar before they could serve more drinks even though we tried to convice them that it would only make the drinks better. They were not down with that at all.
These, my friends, are the types of things one would miss out on if married at 18. Thinking about it now, maybe that isn't such a bad thing afterall. I guess I should also mention that I will dedicate this post to Erin who is turning thirtysomething tomorrow. What more appropriate place for her to be than in Amsterdam to celebrate. I love that girl!
Waiting on Sandra who is coming by to grab me to attend Colt's birthday BBQ. It will be an early night for me. I am planning an early morning workout followed by vodka, horses and boxing. God, I love my unmarried life!
