Reason for Sleeping 16 hours!

Well, I'm back home in the burbs now! :( I miss Dubuque! I had such an awesome week there! Did lots of fun things with my younger than 21 friends! Played frisbee, basketball, watched movies, saw clerks 2, went on fun trips, drank, played cards, etc. I had a blast hanging with Brita and Balk! Then Friday night, I hung out with my girls! Finally got to see Katy again(she's been in South Africa all last semester)! So Rachel, Amy, Katy, and me went out to this thing for Amy and then out to dinner and drinks at Applebee's. Then we started our mini bar crawl, which wasn't planned, but happened anyways! First went to Bartini's, which has an awesome laid back, bit of a mature atmosphere! It was nice, sat back and had a few drinks on the comfy leather couches there waiting for Jackie to get off work to join us! Then we headed across the street to the Julien, which had karaokee that night! So that was amusing! Went in for shots something cherry because of our shocking conversations at dinner, pretty much we're like the girls from sex and the city when it's just the girls out! lol! So yeah, had cherry cheesecake shots! Yummy! They were so good! Did shots there because they are cheaper there than where we were or Lot 1. So then we headed down to Lot 1, which is only a block away! Went there, ran into people that Jackie didn't want to run into, but oh well! So we hung out there for awhile had more drinks there! Hung out and had a good time, but then that group of guys were annoying Jackie, so we headed back to the Julien to be amused by Karaokee! Had drinks there, had fun watching the people singing, chilled out! But that group of guys followed us back and decided to start talking to us. This one guy just wouldn't leave me alone! He bought me a couple of drinks, but was super annoying! At first, he was fun to chat with, but then he was just insulting Jackie because she used to date one of his good friends! Then he started to insult Rachel and Amy, while I stood up for them! Grr, that guy was annoying! So we quickly finished out drinks, chugged the rest of Amy's screwdriver for her because she couldn't finish it! Bounced out of the Julien and headed over to Bricktown! Had drinks there and danced on the dance floor! So it was awesome chilling out! Rachel's boyfriend was there with his friends, which was fine because we knew they were there! Well the annoying boy and his friends followed us over to Bricktown! So yeah, but at least we had a different group of guys some of us knew there! So they were there to keep us away from the annoying group! Had fun there for a long time! Then we headed East! (For all of you who don't know what "heading East means", we headed into Illinois over the bridge to East Dubuque, Illinois!) by Katy's sober friend, Scott, who picked us up! In East we went to the Coliseum, The Otherside, and another bar which I can't remember the name of right now! Had fun there! These two guys bought us a bunch of shots at The Otherside! They were yummy, they tasted like Kool-Aid! Had other drink and stuff there, the bar tender was hitting on Jackie so we got free drinks and shots there! Apparently, they had been there just a week and half ago for Jackie's b-day and he did the same thing then! So it was fun! Were there until about close and the guys that bought us drinks and shots wanted us to come out with them! Jackie and Amy wanted to go to the titty bar with those guys! Katy, Rachel, and me were like yeah, umm..NO! Well, we waited about 5-10 minutes for them to come out! Sat outside and chatted with the two guys for a bit, who gave us all roses! Got going because we were then all starving! You know how it goes, drinking all night and by the end of the night you're starving! So we went over to Mulgrew's! They are known for their chili cheese dogs! But I don't like them, so I just had a plain hot dog! Really hit the spot that night! Hung out there! A group of guys were there! Ended up chatting with the guy next to me at the counter! He was pretty cool! He was from Galena! Bonded over the whole Illinois thing because we were chatting about things Iowans just don't get! Had a good time there! Headed back finally to Amy, Rachel, and Jackie's place! Crashed the night there on their couch! Sorry to any of you who got any drunk text messages from me! opps, I do that when I'm drunk! I'm not a drunk dialer, I'm a drunk text-er! lol! So be amused if you got a text message, which probably didn't make any sense! It was an awesome very drunk and wasted night! Overall had one of our best nights out! Definitely we were all drunk off our ass that night, but it was amazing! Unforunately, I didn't take too many pictures, but Rachel and Jackie did! So I'll add them to my post when I get them from them!

Well, the next morning I had to drive the three hours home! I wasn't hung over, just really tired and out of it! Needless to say, I came home, sorta unpacked and then laid in bed for a bit! I pretty much passed out at like 7 PM and slept the next 16 hours straight! Apparently my parents ordered me a nice prime rib dinner from Outback, but I never woke up to eat it! :( Oh well, it's in the fridge for me to eat tonight for dinner! YUM! Well, now I'm well rested from my night of fun and am ready to get stuff done! Sending my brother back to school, so I better get in the shower to help my mom run errands!

I Miss DUBUQUE FUN!!! Can't wait for August 24, the day I get to move into my house! :) Excited for school to start especially because Amy, Jackie, Rachel, Margo, Katy, and me will all be able to get into bars! Amy has an awesome fake! But she's the last of us to turn 21!! At least it's like three weeks into the school year! So be mid September, we'll all be 21! Watch out for us! :)
