The girls weekend went well and no arrests, although, Twinkie and I both came close to needing life guard intervention. It was a very educational trip for us all but I won't go into detail here because I am sure she will have some wonderful (and more entertaining)tales to share.

When things get tense or out of control my good friend "Bubba" always said "step up and shake it off." So after many years of using "Step up and shake it off" my new life quote is --"If you ever feel like your drowning, just put your feet down." While this makes no sense to you now I am sure a future post on Twinkie's blog will make it more clear.

On Friday night we went to a few beach front Karaoke bars. Twinkie can start up a conversation with anyone and before long we had made friends with Kjell (pronounced Shell, Ryan and Bill. They guys were hilarious and nice men. When the bar closed we all exchanged phone numbers and they promised to show us around town on Saturday night. Of course after their alcohol wore off the next day they must have thought "WTF" and they never contacted us.

But that was no problem for three industrious Kentucky girls and we decided to go on the Haunted Pub Crawl in Wilmington. Our tour guide (we affectionately called him Thor)helped us have great time. After the tour we followed "Thor" back to this wonderful bar that has every kind of beer you could want. Not being a beer drinker I asked for suggestions and he pointed me in the direction of a cherry flavored beer, which was wonderful.

On the tour we also met Leila who was a Roller Derby chic. Well you all know that Twinkie loves her some Roller Derby so they were instant friends. Leila's roommate and her boyfriend were also along for the ride.

Good times, Good Memories.

They only real downside of the day was when Twinkie and Pokie were scheduled to fly home and American airline canceled their flight because the plane was not full and they wanted to save on fuel costs. It was nightmare. American left a message on Twinkie's home machine which said their flight had been rescheduled for the next day.

After getting bitchy with an American Airlines agent AA finally got them on a Continental flight.

On Friday I am heading to the airport to pick up Twinkie and her friend Pokie. From there we are heading down to spend the weekend at the beach. I've already specked out the local redneck karaoke pubs and stocked the condo bar.

What happens at the beach, stays at the beach!!

I feel crazy right at the moment and want to binge eat or do something to free up my mind.
