My Weekend Away From the Kiddos About This Page:

[Shawnam1868]

So, this isn't really a trip, per se, just a weekend without the kids and I won't be home, however I figured I needed practice for my upcoming Disney trip, so here goes.....

The cast of crazy characters.....(Thursday-Friday)

Me: 20-10 year old (30, but my sister won't let me leave my 20's behind), I love Disney, gambling, good times with friends, and my darling children.

My Mom: Older than me. Likes the same as me, however I am definitely the "wild child"

My sister, maybe: 22, she is the "responsible" one. However, I've heard that she can cause quite the ruckus.

On with the show...

Thursday is going to start like any day, work My mom is going to pick me up at "Mom-thirty" which in our family means an hour later than she says, so I told her noon to make sure she is there by 1. From my work, we are going to pick up a rental car because I don't have a car right now and hers is tempermental. We are driving down to Foxwoods in CT. I went there for like 2 hours back in February with my husband and have been getting free room offers ever since. This is my mom's Mother's Day present. Yeah, I'm cheap and I love to gamble, win-win. We are staying at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods. Looks pretty darn nice. I don't know where we will eat dinner, but it will NOT be the buffet. I am going to try to convince Mom to try blackjack with me, but so far it's not looking good. If my sister comes, I'll just ply her with drinks til she plays with me. Oh, that did not sound good.

Friday we will check out and drive home. We probably will eat at the buffet for breakfast. I love breakfast and I love buffets, but I can't do 2 in a 24 hour period. Once we get home, I will drop my mom off and then I have a car for the weekend!!!! Which leads to Friday's plans, but first, who may be involved in these shenanigans......

Me, obviously

Trish: BFF#1, older than me, ying to my yang, ebony to my ivory, so on and so forth

Angela: BFF#2, also older than me, I stole her from my husband. They were friends first and I swooped in and took her fair and square. She has also earned the nickname "Don Vito" after the guy on Viva La Bam due to one night drinking one too many Mich Ultra's and sounding like uhhhhyhhhhuujjjj

I'm sure there will also be an assortment of other people, but who knows who might show up. Friday night I am staying at Trish's house. There will be lots of fun and adult beverages. We plan on going dancing, but who knows with us. Anyone in the Boston area keep an eye out for the 3 drunkateers.

Friday night SHOULD be early because we plan on being up bright and early and giong into Boston for the Pride Festival with my friends Robyn and Jimmy. We heard free samples and jumped. We will also be playing "tourist" after that at Fanueil Hall. I know, it's so bad, but I love asking locals where something is, with my Boston accent, while I'm standing in front of it. Saturday night will be more of the same with a little less drinking, I do have to snap back to reality on Sunday you know.

However.......Saturday plans are subject to change. My husband is in NY and has been for over 2 months. I haven't seen him, so because I will have a car, we may at some point decide to "pop" down to Brooklyn

So, um, that's my pre trip report for the not really a trip trip!!!
