“The Fate Of The Furious” Overtakes “Star Wars” For Biggest Worldwide Opening Of All Time

0

If early estimates hold when the final numbers are tabulated later today, the latest installment in the The Fast and the Furious franchise will become a global record holder.

The Fate of the Furious earned an estimated $532.5 million in its debut over the Easter weekend, including $100.2 million domestically and a $432.2 million overseas.  If the numbers hold, Fast 8 will eclipse Star Wars: The Force Awakens for the biggest worldwide opening off all time.  The 7th installment in the Star Wars franchise earned $529 million worldwide during its opening weekend.

Universal international distribution chief Duncan Clark commented that “This franchise is showing no sign of wear and tear.  Fate of the Furious is satisfying audiences on many different levels.”  Universal domestic distribution president Nick Carpou added, “Considering this is the second-highest opening domestically out of eight films speaks to the fact that people continue to be interested in the storyline.”  Furious 7 had the franchises biggest domestic opening, earning $147 million its first weekend.

Sleeping In On The Weekends Could Help You Lose Weight

0

A recent study that said sleeping in on the weekends was bad for your health … but now there’s this … Research published in the journal Sleeps suggests that sleeping in on the weekends could actually have some benefits.

The study revealed that people who slept too little throughout the week and caught up on sleep on the weekends had slightly lower BMIs (body mass index) than those who slept too little all week and did not compensate on weekends.

The study found this might have something do with the fact that getting too little sleep can disrupt your hormones and metabolism.

So make sure to turn that alarm clock off over the weekend.

Taking a road trip with your significant other this July 4th? If so, chances are decent you’ll get into a tiff.

A new survey shows 75% of people admit to arguing in the car.

What are the fights about?

Backseat driving (48%), traffic (28%), running late (27%), telling the driver how to react to other drivers (27%), driver going too fast or too slow (15%), and music choices (10%).

Why do we fight?

25% say it’s being in tight quarters for a long time that leads to arguments.

27% say the arguments lead to the silent treatment for much of the drive.

Don’t forget these primary reasons for arguments – the same reasons babies cry – you’re hungry or sleepy!

Baseball Will Change-Up Uniforms This Weekend

Check out MLB games this weekend for more colorful uniforms — and more colorful names on the back.

Major League Baseball is throwing a change-up during the weekend of August 25th through 27th with what they’re calling Players Weekend. Along with the brightly-colored jerseys and hats, we’ll also see modifications to team logos and in some cases new logos altogether.

The most fun part may be seeing feature players’ nicknames on the back instead of their last names.

Even the Yankees, who don’t traditionally have their names on the jerseys, will have them during Players Weekend.

One nickname of note — Mariners star Kyle Seager will have “Corey’s Brother” on his back, referencing the Dodgers shortstop.

Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard will wear “Thor” on his jersey, something former Twins pitcher Paul Thormodsgard did nearly 40 years ago.

Love, Acceptance, Equality at Heart of Dallas Gay Pride: Organizers

0

This weekend, it’s estimated that more than 35,000 people from around the country have descended on Dallas for the annual Gay Pride Festival and Parade.

“It’s lots of people, lots of fun, lots of rainbows,” Jaron Turnbow said with a smile.  Turnbow, a Tarrant County native, has been a volunteer for Dallas Pride for 12 years.

“I was 21 when I first started helping with pride,” he said. “We are getting more acceptance and more people on our side because it’s not just gay people who come to the event. It’s our allies. It’s our parents. It’s our friends.”  While speaking about the amount of love he sees at Pride brought tears to his eyes.

“Pride means to me being out and being who I am and not being scared anymore; especially with my family,” he said.  The local gay community said it’s been a tough year filled with a number of highs, lows and challenges.

One of the highs this year came from the news that local Boy Scout troops were inviting transgender youth to join, and one of the biggest lows in the community is the uncertainty of the future of transgender military service. Another challenge is the ever present debate surrounding the Bathroom Bill.  “It’s nice to see how far we have come, but also shows we have a long way to go still in acceptance and laws to protect us,” Turnbow said.  The theme this year is “Stand up, Speak Out.”

“It’s emotional when I drive down the parade route and see all these families and their kids and everybody’s cheering for us,” he smiled through tears.

If you listen to Fast in the Morning, you might already know the random situations we find ourselves in on a regular basis. Sometimes crazy, sometimes scary, sometimes embarrassing, and almost always fun. On Mondays, let’s re-live it together with my new blog: Weekend Wrap-Up.

 

FRIDAY

Randi, our midday DJ, comes in around 9am every day and she and I bug Nathan and Luckey by talking about girl shizz (make-up and whatnot). Today, she was rifling through her purse and pulled out a rubber duck. WTD? So, I Tweeted a pic and asked listeners why she had this and got some hilarious responses.

“That’s where she keeps her bills.”

“She’s on quack.”

“Because she obviously still has ducks to give.”

“To keep the real duck company.”

“A giraffe wouldn’t fit.”

Ahhh, I love our listeners. It did inspire a new game I think we should play, though, called What’s in Randi’s Purse?  She also happened to have two fidget spinners (one lit up while in motion), an Arkansas hotel room key, one sock, a thong, etc. She cray.

Around 9:30am, I got a text from my dance instructor that he had to reschedule our 11am rehearsal. It’s for a local DWTS– style charity competition I’m doing called A Night in Monte Carlo. I was instantly relieved. I get absolutely ecstatic when someone cancels plans with me. Otherwise, I have to either come up with an excuse or grudgingly follow through and then be grumbly about it the whole time.

Later, I chatted on the phone with my sister, and she said she was getting a tattoo covered up. I asked if it was the tramp stamp she got– that I had ratted out to our parents when I was a 19-yo brat– but she said it was a different one. Naturally curious, I probed further, “Wait, you have another tattoo?” Turns out, she has eight … and she’s never even told me. EIGHT!!!

That night, I went to our live broadcast at Blue Martini. I interrupted a cozy couple to give them free shirts, and the guy made me feel like I was c***-blocking him. Unknowingly, I actually was. They were on a first date after meeting on Tinder! So, just to make it even more uncomfortable, I said, “Awww, now y’all can tell this story at your wedding… about that annoying girl from AMP 103.7 who intruded on your first night together.” LOL. They were good sports. Good luck to ya, Roslyn and Lamont. Feel free to name your firstborn after me. Also shoutout to our girl Stephanie who was there and told me that she listens on the daily!

 

SATURDAY

Woke up for work Saturday morning, and guess what, guys? … The world didn’t end! After the show, I went to AT&T to finally fix my broken iPhone. Since I’m too paranoid to use the Cloud, the AT&T guy said I had to physically hardwire my phone to my computer to transfer all my data so he couldn’t do it right then at the store. I stopped for a car wash on the way home and realized that 28 minutes with no cell phone is agonizing, but at least my car was fresh. Then I spent nearly three hours (connecting, syncing, rebooting, deleting, calling Apple, etc.) before I finally had my life back in the palm of my hand. Not sure I would wish that process on my worst enemy.

That night, my hubs Richie, some friends, and I went to a preview of Dark Hour Haunted House in Plano. We hung out backstage for a while where they have these cameras so can watch people as they walk through. There were also buttons you could push to fire off steam and then you can see their reaction. They even had a “Boo Box.” It’s like a hunting blind where you crouch down and no one can see you until you pop out and scare ‘em! It’s located in this 1800s graveyard setting, and one of the characters ended up frightening us because my friend Valerie was yelling about how much she “loved the Victorian snow” in her loud, country accent.

Once it was time to go inside, I was somehow chosen to walk first. So I ran ahead and then hid from my group so I could jump out and spook them! We had some good laughs, and it’s definitely good bang for your buck because it took about 25 minutes to get through. There was another haunted attraction in the complex that was super creepy, and it ends in a bathroom scene. I had to pee and aaalllllmmmmoooossstt went in that scary toilet, but I didn’t wanna get my friend who had invited us in trouble. Maybe next year.

Afterward, we went to Love & War in Texas because I was craving pot roast. They didn’t have it. So, I settled on chili, Bud Light, and bad 80s music.

 

SUNDAY

Woke up to my hubs whisper-yelling at the dogs. They’re not allowed on the furniture so when I went to sleep Saturday night, I pulled out the sofa bed so I could snuggle with ‘em. The next morning, they had apparently gone outside through their doggie door and tracked mud back in—which ended up on the couch. I was exhausted from a long week/weekend so we ordered pizza, and I watched a terrible B-movie called “Breaking the Girls.” With only about 20 minutes left in the movie, it dawned on me that I had already seen it before. FML. I fell asleep, then woke up that evening to start the week again. I set up my page for the dancing fundraiser (**please donate**), read the entire internet for show prep, and then wrote this here blog.

Let’s meet back here next Monday, shall we?

FRIDAY

After work, I was still hungover from Thursday’s late night with Nathan. He’s such a bad influence. 😉 So, I went home to nap after the show. Unfortunately, our housekeeper was late so I had to wait for her to finish. I always feel guilty when she’s cleaning, and I’m just sitting on my ass. #FirstWorldProblems She finally left, but then I couldn’t fall asleep. Damn you, circadian rhythm.

SATURDAY

Went to the station, and I was grumbly from not getting enough rest and having too much on my plate. My friend who just overcame cancer had a great quote that really put things in perspective. She said, “You can go to the pity party, but just have one or two drinks—don’t stay there all night.” Brilliant. I instantly felt better. Here she is–  literally fighting for her life–  and I’m griping about being tired. I’m like a cranky toddler. Served as a good reminder as to what’s really important in the big picture.

After that, I headed to dance rehearsal for the charity competition I’m doing on Oct. 19th. Turns out, my partner/instructor Gino’s girlfriend and her kids are AMP listeners. Hi, Alexa, Cody, and Thomas!

Richie, my hubs, got a new car so I gawked at it for a while when he got home. It’s a silver 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude, and I love it. I asked him if we could trade vehicles and got shut down with the quickness. He was headed to a bar to watch college football with his friends.

My neighbor, Honeycutt, and I decided to take our dogs and her kids to White Rock Lake for a picnic. So, we all piled into the car and headed to the park. We stayed there until the sun went down. We decided to keep the party going afterward so they all came over to our house and her dog Dora jumped on our new couch with muddy paws. Honeycutt was extremely apologetic, and together we cleaned it up so it looked fresh again. I didn’t even tell Richie about it because he’s SUPER anti-dogs-on-furniture. He’s probably reading this right now so here’s a picture of all our happy smiles to distract him…

SUNDAY

Our family was coming over to grill and watch the Cowboys game. I had to run to the store for a couple of last-minute items so I drove Richie’s new whip, and I was nervous because it’s all new to me. I didn’t even touch the radio station or any settings so I wouldn’t accidentally mess anything up. I’m a terrible driver.

When I got home, I bathed the dogs. Barkley’s breath smells like hot garbage. It’s so bad that he can be on his dog bed on the floor next to me, and when he licks himself, I can smell it from five feet away. I still love him though ‘cause he’s so stinkin’ cute!

My mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, and mom all came over and we cheered on the Cowboys between bites of burgers. My mom Linda and Richie’s mom could seriously be Saturday Night Live characters. They don’t pay attention very well, and all of their references are way off. As I was washing the dishes, I overheard their conversation about how “Bill Crosby was so funny when he used to interview those kids” and that they loved Richie’s new “station wagon.” (Again, it’s a Jeep Grand Cherokee.)

Richie’s mom is very religious. So much so, that he used to take his earring out when we would go to her house, and his brother—who is openly gay—isn’t comfortable bringing his boyfriend around in front of her. As we were doing a pre-visit sweep of the house, I decided I was going to leave our bar cart out because I’m an adult, and it’s our house. Then, me and my mom snuck beers in the garage like we were college kids.

Once everyone left, I fired up the ol’ DVR and did some good, Sunday night tv-watchin’. I’m so glad Curb Your Enthusiasm is back on. My dad is so much like Larry David. That’s probably why I’m such a curmudgeon. I thought of Luckey as I watched it because one of the characters (a lesbian barber) was wearing a calculator watch! They also introduced me to a new term… “lampin’.” It’s like chillin’ but with even less work. I love lamp.

FRIDAY

I planned to go home after work to change before our Six Flags broadcast, but I ended up working late so I had to head straight there from the studio. I knew we were getting our hair, make-up, costumes done so I didn’t think it mattered. It did.

They dressed Nathan and me up like dead people, but no one mentioned what type of footwear to bring so I had on light gray converse sneakers with my Victorian ghoul garb. Since they gave me pigtails and contoured my dimples, I just tried to be a creepy, happy, ghostclown. Not sure that’s even a thing, but it is now.

Went to the restroom, and a little girl said, “Mommy, are they allowed to go to the bathroom?” Which was hilarious so I laughed and smiled at her and told her I was a nice ghostclown. Then, she whined, “I don’t like ‘em” as she buried her face into her mom’s legs to hide. It was funny how people talk about you as if you’re not even there when you’re in costume.

We got to ride The Joker, the newest ride at Six Flags. It didn’t last long, but it was still awesome. And my skirt didn’t fly over my head while we were upside down so that was a good thing.

When I got home, the movie-quality make-up came off pretty easily with rubbing alcohol, but the hair was a whole ‘nother situation. I had these extremely ratted out pigtails spray-painted black. I’m the one person in the world who actually followed the shampoo bottle instructions:  “Lather. Rinse. Repeat.” My entire bathtub was black after I finished, and I lost five extensions in the process. RIP to my weave.

SATURDAY

Woke up the next morning and went to work at the station. Afterward, I got my nails done then went to get Botox and lip injections. It’s what Real Housewife of Dallas Cary Deuber calls “putting on her make-up.” Ha! Then, I headed back home to meet the artist who was delivering our custom mirror. It’s about 7-feet tall and bad-ass! Perfect statement piece.

After that, the hubs and I went to my friend Heather’s annual “Friendsgiving” party. She wasn’t drinking and then made the big announcement that she’s preggers! She’s four months along, and they just got hitched in May so clearly they didn’t waste any time! We went over potential names for her soon-to-be daughter. We fake-decided on “Dustina” since her hubby’s name is Dusty.

Another girl at the party named Jenn– who I roomed with in Mexico at Heather’s bachelorette party– is also expecting. I made them both rub their fertile juju on me for good luck.

SUNDAY

Sunday I woke up and when I finally peeled myself outta bed, I went to dance rehearsal for the charity event this Thursday. My instructor initially told me not to worry about hair, make-up, costumes, and then that day (four days  before the event), he asked me to cover it. So, I’m in total crunch mode. People should definitely come to this thing because there’s a high likelihood of a trainwreck.

Afterward, I got home and did chores (laundry, dumped trash, watered plants, etc.) As I was reading over my to-do list that I had left on the counter, I noticed my husband Richie had scrawled an extra task for me: “Remember my hubs loves me.” It made me smile. He’s so thoughtful, and I’m so lucky to have him. He really is the best hubby ever. (No offense, Nathan and other hubbies. 😉 )

On that note, Richie had gone to the store so when he returned, we unloaded groceries then watched my favorite show of all time Family Guy. It was nice out so we opened the windows, turned on the attic fan, and for the first time this year– we actually used our heater! I ended up nodding off around 10:45 which is relatively early for me, so I feel great today!

FRIDAY

Driving downtown gives me such anxiety. At 11:49am, I drove past my hair salon for a 12pm appointment. 11 minutes to find parking? Should be cake.

But not so much. I drove around one-ways, maneuvered through cyclists, and got fooled by THREE almost parking spots. They either had hidden “No Parking” signs, were in front of a hydrant, or had those weird time limits. Like “Only M-F: 4-6pm.” To top it off, I was driving my husband Richie’s new car (because he traded with me to get my oil changed, get it washed and filled up with gas #HubbyOfTheYear) and his car has that stupid gas-saving feature that I don’t know how to work where your car automatically shuts off when you’re at a red light.

After my appointment, I walked out to the car with fresh hair accompanied by a fresh parking ticket. Does this go on his permanent record? Again, I hate parking downtown.

Went to tan then swung by the house to meet Richie so we could go see the new Jigsaw movie. I’ve seen the past seven so this one was definitely on my to-do list. It was very predictable and had a few plot holes, but at least there was a signature twist at the end.

SATURDAY

I woke up and went to the station early then headed home to get ready for the Metro PCS event in Hurst. Shoutout to our uber driver Bryan who listens every morning and stopped by to say hello!

bryan Sybil’s Weekend Wrap Up: 10.30.17

When I left, there was maaaajor traffic getting back to Dallas so I swung through Jack in the Box to make the time go by faster. I had a super-messy Buffalo Chicken sandwich and the meat had the texture of a hard-boiled egg so it bounced off my teeth. It was a letdown. When I finally got home around 6:30pm, my grand plan was to take a quick nap then go to the Oaklawn Halloween block party and stop by Randi’s first Lizard Lounge gig. None of that happened. I slept until 9am Sunday.

 

SUNDAY

Had a strange dream that me, Richie, Scotty K and Bret from 93.3, and my friend Jasmine from KSCS were taking an aerobics dance class together. I texted Scotty about it and he suggested I dream about goat yoga next time. As I was trying to tell Richie the story, he interrupted me to ask if the sun shining in the window is what woke me up. I hate being interrupted. It’s happened my entire life by my mom, my sister, everyone I’ve ever worked with in radio, my husband, my friends, etc. I lose my train of thought and then I just give up on whatever I was trying to say. I rolled my eyes and gave an overly-exaggerated sigh when he did it, which set him off, and we didn’t speak until 1 o’clock that afternoon as I was leaving. We said goodbye like nothing happened.

My friend Michelle came over so we could go to Rosé All Day. It was the inaugural event, and I was emceeing. We crushed a bottle of champagne before we even left the house, and I lost my bracelet and broke my sunnies before we even landed at the park. The weather was gorgeous, though. We ran into a bunch of people I hadn’t seen in ages so it was fun. As we were about to leave, these two girls were taking a picture and I told one of them that I loved her outfit. It turns out, she and her husband were the ones throwing the event. So they took us to the VIP area, and we sat there for another glass of wine.

Hank, the party planner, was trying to convince me to stay until 9pm even though my official duties ended at 4pm so we stayed another hour and half or so and then snuck out. When we got home, I thought it would be a great idea to go drunken dog walking which is something I like to do pretty often. Michelle and I Periscoped the whole thing. Just as we were getting back to my house, there was a lady in her front yard who heard us talking about dongs so we threw her on social media for people to see. One thing led to another and before we knew it, we were inside her house, dogs and all. She claimed to be a medium, and in my inebriated state, I thought it would be fun to try to summon my Grandma Hattie. Traci, the medium, shook her hair wildly and mumbled some gibberish as she crossed over. She said Hattie was looking out for me. Drunk Me invited her back over to our house for a drink. Ugh, I hate Drunk Me.

(Grandma Hattie and me circa 1999)

The three of us and two dogs tumbled in the front door as Richie was watching football. I tried to crack open a beer as Michelle was leaving. Richie, being the super-dad he is, told Traci she was nice and all, but I needed to get up for work in the morning so he sent her home. I remember my mom doing that to me as a kid. Hilarious! Thankfully he did, though, because I probably would’ve had 14 more beers while listening to Traci yammer on about ghosts.

Even though he was probably still mad at me because I never apologized for being a bitch that morning, he still put me in pajamas, gave me water, and set my alarm because as I mentioned… he’s #HubbyOfTheYear. I just hope Traci didn’t invite any spirits into our house since we finally got rid of our old ghost, Jerome.

Woke up about nine minutes before my alarm was scheduled to go off at 2am. I was deathly hungry so I made a bowl of quesadilla soup… for breakfast. Not a good decision. It’s been six hours, and I’m still full. And still drunk.

Overall another fun weekend! Let’s meet back here next Monday, shall we? To read last week’s Wrap-Up, click here.

FRIDAY

On the same note as our elevator debate last week (how Nathan doesn’t wanna ride with anyone else), I realized something about myself as I was leaving the station on Friday. I go out of my way to use the other door just so I don’t have to hold it open for someone. Example: If I see someone walking into our building through the left door, and I’m walking at a faster pace, I’ll inevitably make it to the door first which means I have to be polite and wait for them so I can hold it open. So I’ll opt for the right door instead so it’s not an issue. Or, if someone is walking 20 steps behind me to leave, I exit through the revolving door so I don’t have to wait. I’m too impatient.

As I was driving home, I did something actually patient and I was proud of myself. I was driving in far right lane of the highway because I was taking the next exit, and a school bus slowly chugged its way onto the freeway. My two options were A) speed up to get out of his way or B) hit the brakes and let it poke in front of me. I chose ‘B’ because… kids and all. Then I noticed that there were side cameras on the bus so I was glad I wasn’t a jerk.

In related news… school buses have cameras?! I mentioned this to my husband Richie when I got home, and he said there’s been a controversy surrounding them for months now, and tomorrow it will come to a head when people vote whether or not to keep the public school bus system. I love it how I’m so immersed in pop culture and which Kardashian is pregnant, while he pays attention to real news. It’s earned him the earnest nickname “Old Man Weather” because he often advises me what to wear or when to pack an umbrella since he watches the actual news.

As we were catching up on our days, he said he’s been waiting for a call back from someone for a simple question, and it’s been two days. He wondered aloud how people don’t have three minutes to pick up the phone for a quick phone call. Playing Devil’s Advocate, I said I’ve been too busy for a 3-minute phone call many times. We ended up debating this, and although my dog Barkley sided with me, I’m pretty sure he won.

Since my dog was able to gruntsighwhimper on cue, I decided to make an ASMR video with him. For the next hour and a half, we recorded, edited, uploaded sweet Barkles and all the noises he makes. Yes, that is how I choose to spend my free time when I don’t have three minutes to call you back.

SATURDAY

Went to the station and did a crappy show. Everyone was stuffed up from allergies and none of us wanted to be there. My co-host David (the most positive man ever) even said, “Some days we have great shows, and that one… just wasn’t.” Well-put, Dave.

After I left work, I was headed home and missed my turn so I made an illegal u-turn in the middle of the street. Next thing I know, red and blue lights are flashing in front of me. A motorcycle signaled for me to pull over. Panicked, I did as instructed. Turns out, he was just stopping traffic for the 29th Annual “Run to the Wall” Motorcycle Ride for veterans. I whipped out my cell phone and got some video.

I spent the rest of the day shopping in Deep Ellum for a gift for midday girl Randi. We were going out that night to celebrate her birthday, and as I’ve mentioned before, I’m a good gifter so I wanted to keep that title. She ended up getting a shiny, rose gold disco ball-shaped cup to drink from that night, a set of nail polishes, a badass eyeshadow palette called “Nude Dude” that featured her go-to make-up colors that were displayed over men’s body parts like censor bars, and an autographed keychain photo of me and Richie. I thought it would be funny to get her a giant framed photo of us, but this way she has to keep it with her at all times, and as we know, Randi has pretty much one of everything in her purse.

While I was running errands, I got a text from Randall that the wine tasting for her birthday had been canceled because the winery messed up their schedule. Richie and I decided to do one at our house instead. Randi and her friend Taylor showed up around 10:30pm, and we poured mini bottles of gas station varietals into our glasses as I snobbishly made up backgrounds for each one.

“This white zinfandel is a 2016 vintage from the Beringer estates in Napa Valley. You’ll notice some floral notes on the nose, and it’s rather light-bodied. As you sip it, you should pick up a nice, fruity finish.”

This went on for four more rounds, but then I had to finish getting dressed.

The four of us decided to go to The Lodge because Randi had never been to a strip club before. During the ride there, we gave ourselves fake names and fake careers. Richie and I employed our old names we had used in the past, which ironically made him “Taylor” so Randi’s friend Taylor became “Shea.” Randi was “Carter” (in honor of Carter Cruise), and I employed my middle name “Nicole.”

We decided that Taylor (aka: “Shea”) was a taxidermist, and Randi lived in Nashville and made custom leather goods for celebs. She then saved me in her phone as “Kim K. West” so that I could secretly call her at some point during the night and wow one of the entertainers– who would 100% be “putting herself through school” because they all are– by having that name flash on the screen.

14 beers in, we forgot about our elaborate trick. Although, Randi did have a great line for one of the dancers. As we introduced “Shea” to whatever-her-fake-name-was, our midday princess blurted out, “He’s a taxidermist. So, if you died tonight, he could stuff you.” So funny on so many levels, but the eternal college student left our table on that note.

The country fell back an hour at 2am which means we had an extra hour of drinks we didn’t need. Someone had the great idea to get tattoos. Richie and Randi already have some so it was no biggie for them. I’m a virgin when it comes to ink, aside from my micro-bladed eyebrows. Randi decided she would get a remake of me and Richie’s photo on her back. And we all know how well portrait tattoos turn out, right? When we arrived in Deep Ellum, all the ink shops were closed. Seriously. How the hell did we out-party the tattoo crowd?!

We ended up at Buzzbrews instead for a 3am dinfast (breakner?) We literally counted four people physically sleeping on the tables. FOUR. I blame Daylight Saving Time. We had a couple more great ideas over dinner (drunken dog-walking on Periscope, Randi making up a dance to a song of our choice, etc.), but instead we went home to watch Saturday Night Live. All four of us were asleep before the monologue even started.

 

SUNDAY

The four of us watched SNL and laughed over re-hashed stories from the night before. Richie proclaimed it was “almost was best night ever” with all of our hair-brained ideas that never came to fruition. Probably for the best.

Then we Airplayed some of our favorite YouTube videos as my neighbor Honeycutt and her 6-year-old daughter Elie knocked on the door. She dropped off a meat/cheese/fruit plate that was left over from a big event she had the night before. It was perfect for our hangovers.

Randi and Taylor left. Less than 10 min. later, Richie’s dad and brother showed up to watch the Cowboys game. I made a plate of chicken nuggets and took them back to my bedroom where I could binge-watch Black Mirror. Napped for a couple of hours then woke back up for our Sunday night TV jam of Family Guy, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and The Girlfriend Experience. I was mad that TGE was too hard to follow this season, and I fell asleep two hours later.

Overall another fun weekend! Let’s meet back here next Monday, shall we? To read last week’s Wrap-Up, click here.
