IN THE COMPANY OF FRIENDS........

Sunday, May 22, 1999

This morning was the start of what was to become a daily ritual. Either Roger or I would go downstairs and get McDonalds for breakfast and a bag full of beanie babies...LOL. Roger has a 13 year old daughter who collects beanie babies, so everyday one of us would have to go and get a few for him to take back to England. We also signed up for these neat little cards that most of the casinos have. They're the same size as a credit card, with your name on them, you put them in the slot machine and as you play and you gather points which can be redeemed for t-shirts, travel bags, and you got it..... imitation beanie babies!!

This is the second card I had issued to me. I had a bad habit of leaving the card in the slot machine when we were leaving. All I heard everytime we were going somewhere (not naming names, but he has a British accent), "FB.....have you got your card?"

Tim's having us over for a barbecue!!!!!!!!!!

Tim's having a barbecue !!!!! Woooooohoooooooooooo. We basically spent the better part of the day doing our own thing, with the plan of getting together later in the day to get groceries and go to Tim's for a barbecue. Roger and I spent the day gambling and actually won a little bit of money here and there. Not a bad day at all. We all met up, and piled into Tim's car for our trip to the grocery store. Okay RP....this is for you. I'm admitting my major blonde moment here.

Roger has a very nice video camera, which he didn't particularly care to carry around the grocery store, so he put it under the seat in Tim's car. We all got out of the car and closed the doors and at this point, I, (being FB), said loud enough for everyone within a 3 mile radius to hear, " HEY YOU GUYS, ARE YOU SURE THE DOORS ARE LOCKED?? RP'S VIDEO CAMERA IS IN THE CAR!!!!!" This sent everyone (including myself) into hysterics in the parking lot, as now, everyone with ears knew that RP's video camera was in the car.....OY !! Oh well, I never claimed to be perfect.

Grocery shopping with these guys is quite the event. Fruit was flying everywhere and Tim had a bad case of cucumber envy...LOL. Upon finding the bin of pistachio's, it was "Hey guys, buffet is open!!!!!!!" It seemed to take forever to get the stuff we needed for the barbecue, and get back out to the car.... and yes..... Rogers video camera was still there.

Here we are at Tim's place. Notice that Tess is drinking, Nick is trying to stick A-1 Sauce up my ass, and I'm busy washing and slicing the strawberries we bought for dessert.

Here we are enjoying a very delicious meal prepared by all of us.

Nick and Tim with very happy tummies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"What do you mean it isn't a twist-off??" Only in America......OY!!

Cheers Girlfriend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tess and her Pimpdaddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh My Tim!!!!! Gas Problem???????

Nick and RP at the computer !!

Well, a great evening was had by all. We never did eat the strawberries that we bought for dessert (a whole flat of them)..and Tim???? What happened to the Whipped Cream??
