2nd daily post!

last night was so much fun. drunky drunk fun. my high school (culver) friend, laura, was in town. she lives in northern indiana and although it isn't that far, i don't get to see her that often which is sad, but... anyways i made the decision to go out on a friday and that i would in all likelihood miss the sat run. oops. but i feel ok about it b/c i am doing the jingle bell 5k which isn't quite the 5 miles i'm supposed to do, but eh, that's ok. so, alice and i went to her coworker's fundraiser for women who can't afford mammograms. it's called the silver lining foundation and it was at zella. i'd never been there before, but i really liked it. it was so much fun! laura and nicole (betti, not richman) and her husband chris all met up with us there. there was another coworker of alice's there too - his name is loren. he's super nice, but slightly annoying. that's ok. there were two great things about last night. ok, i'll tell you the second one first b/c the first one is way more exciting and you just have to wait for it.
so, we went out on the patio last night (it was tented) to get out of the very loud indoors as i was losing my voice and tired of talking so loud. so we headed out. i was talking with nicole and this very drunk silver fox comes up to talk to her. she manages to squirm away and leave me with him. so he's all where did she go and i pointed and said to talk to her husband. so then he decides i'm ok and hits on me. and i'm all how do i get rid of this guy?! this silver fox who didn't appear all thaaaaat old was telling me that he was staying with his sister in the city b/c he lives in the burbs at his parents' house b/c he's separated from his wife. oh wow, ladies, he sounds like a winner. anyways, i start looking to my group of girls who are completely oblivious to my plight and i realize that two more guy coworkers of alice's happen to be looking over and i caught their eye. one mouthed, help? and i just looked at him and nooded slightly. silver fox has no idea. he just keeps his close talking. so, this coworker guy i've never even met comes over and says hey baby, how are you?! or something along those lines and silver fox is all that must be your boyfriend and of course i said yep. and then i gave this guy a kiss on the cheek. figured why not. he was cute. of course then later i found out that he has had a gf for 5 years that he apparently isn't into all that much but that comes 3rd hand. who knows. whatever. i just found it to be a funny situation. and oh yeah, the gf showed up at the bar a little later and he tells her how he saved me and i think she was less than amused. eh, oh well. :)
the second fun news is that my friend laura is pregnant! she just found out yesterday and she isn't really telling anyone yet, but she couldn't help it. i've promised to say nothing, but since none of you know her or have the potential of ruining the surprise, i can write it here and spill the beans. she's 3 weeks along so like i said it is super early and we know something could happen, but it's still very exciting news and i'm so glad she told me!
oh and alice is never super super drunky drunk, but last night, wow! i was all go alice! she was dancing with a bunch of different guys throughout the night! she was so funny! until she started feeling sick, so i took her home. the cabbie was very nervous that she'd puke in or on his cab... she didn't. but i had to keep reassuring him she'd be fine. love it.

i'll post some pics of this raucous event soon.
