TMI Thursday: anything but anal

So I've never done this before, and I've had a several bottles glasses of wine, so.. I'm going to partake in TMI THURSDAY!!!

This past weekend, my boy Joe and I took my grandparents out for their xmas present: a trip to the South Pacific at the 5th Avenue Theatre and then Sazerac for dinner.

Background info:
My grandpa is a special sort of 90 something year old. VERY RELIGIOUS. As in, at some point between  sane 70 and now, he became a "Catholic" man who:
   (1) Believes in a church that does not recognize the Pope.
   (2) Participates in a strictly Latin mass that lasts 1+ (painful - I went, once) hours in a church that requires women to wear DOILIES (is that the plural of doily?) on their heads while praying.
   (3) Fears that all of his family is going to HELL if they do not convert to this new (or old? not sure) Catholocism. As in, he recently told my parents (his son and DIL) that their son (my lil bro Gabe) was born out of wedlock because their marriage was never valid in the eyes of his church.. or something.

Good times.

Random Thursday insertion: apparently I use parenthesis alot when I'm drunky~~~

Anyway... so we went to the awesome play The South Pacific, and then this awesome restaurant The Sazerac, and while at dinner,

this

TMI

conversation

happened

OLD RELIGOUS GRANDPA looking back and forth between me and Joe: So what kind of relations do two have?

JOE: omg omg omg wtf omg

ME: practiced at interpretating half deaf grandpa, realizes he said "what kind of RELIGOUS VIEWS do you have" because that's obviously ALL he cares about, whether we're going to Hell or not.

Umm RELIGOUS VIEWS.. what RELIGOUS VIEW DO YOU HAVE??

Joe: ""Relations we have?"

Me: "RELIGIOUS VIEWS"

Joe: Oh, cuz I was gonna say, "EVERYTHING BUT ANAL"

JK

Joe didn't actually say that. But afterwards he told me he was thinking about it. And that's TMI. No??

PS I'm somewhat very meh carrghh how do I use this damn thing??? disappointed in the Quality of this blogpost. Wednesday Trivia Night = WARNING! BAD! DANGER! I am "tipsy" as they say..

PPS Update my Grandma is NOT hard of hearing and she heard the whole thing and new exactly what Joe thought grandpa said and read his face and mine and just started cracking up... one of those laughs that had heads turning :-) Love her.

better late than never.

OK. Here is a review of my last three weeks (yes - I know this is ridiculous) that I haven't yet blogged about.. but (mostly) in pictures. Minus the crazy airplane lady story... which I WILL DO SOON. Really, I will.

Anyway, without further ado.... in chronological order, dating back to before Thanksgiving!!!

Weekly Wednesday Trivia... we have yet to win, but damn... we have a good time!




Thanksgiving at my folks house. Joe and my orphaned friend Zach came, and my mom cooked for 21 people!!!!


Pre-Thanksgiving chaos (aka when the rest of the fam showed up)
Joe and I enjoying some red wine...


My aunt Terry (left) and my mom (right) shared the chef duties...
You know they say about too many cooks in the kitchen!!!


My amazing grandparents Leo and Marge.
I know it's weird, but that's what we've always called them.
... Not grandpa, grandma, or anything like that...


Just sister Kenzie drinkin some white wine in the sink.
Totally normal at our house :-)


After the extended family leaves...
Thanksgiving turns into Karaoke Jam Fest 2000.
Here's Joe and Zach looking for songs/singing along.

Thanksgiving Weekend... it's Off to Idaho!!! Joe's folks live in Couer d'Alene, Idaho so we drive out there often for some pretty wonderful weekends. 
 

Joe's folks and us at a local bar for a "night cap" as it's called.


Bondi and me in the cabin of Joe's folks' fishing boat.
Yes, Bondi comes with us!! 


We went on a cruise on the lake.
Here's some of the Christmas lights we saw..
..my camera doesn't do them justice!!

Trade Show for Sutherlands in Kansas City... my mom and I went to sell some bad-ass mailboxes :-)


Here's our Mail Boss display in "Pallet Alley"
BTW Kansas City is cold and windy. BRRrrr!!!

My Birthday Party at the Tulalip Casino!!! ...or as Joe calls it, "Vegas's home-schooled half-sister that's living with creepy uncle in the woods of North Seattle." We rented out two totally posh (shocking- I know!) rooms at the Tulalip Resort, stocked them with adult beverages, invited some close friends, and had a grand ol' time!!!! BTW they have an amazing pool that we definitely took advantage of... and although there are no pics to prove it (no cameras at the tables- duh!) we definitely gambled our little booties off!!! I won't say how much I did or did not win...


Jen and I... a little pre-game action in the hotel room.


Stay classy!! Oh yes, we will :-)
...and thanks to Joe for being so resourceful with this...


Apples to Apples. 'nuff said.


We had a pool party, oh yes we did!


We also had a hot-tub party. 
Lil' awkward thanks to all the irresponsible parents lil' kids 
overhearing and witnessing inappropriate stuff... 
...and probably peeing too!!! Anywayyy...


Sister Kenzie tells Joe she loves him (for me) 
over poolside Apples to Apples :-)


Late (like 4PM!!!) Checkout = AWESOME!
This meant Mimosas, CatchPhrase & the Hawks game...
...plus more time to Gamble!! 
Yes.. I am wearing BOXERS with cards and dice on them.
Yes.. I wore them in the casino, with UGGs & my bday hat.
Nobody even gave me a second look :-)

Anyway... this pretty much brings y'all up to this weekend... which I will try to post about before Christmas!!
