(Mostly) Wordless Wednesday: Good Friends, Fun Games

As I alluded to in my last post, this weekend was my best friend Meredith's birthday party. It was fun to hang out with friends, drink and play board games. I seriously enjoy board games and love discovering new games like Balderdash (which has been around forever, but is new to me). Here are some of the pictures I took that night.

This is Jenny with Meredith, the birthday girl. Jenny and Meredith work together. Jenny gave Meredith a very special Christmas gift.

This is Little Bastard (Lil Bastard?). Jenny found him at Goodwill and instantly thought of Meredith, which should say something about how unique my best friend is. She bought him for 99 cents. Unfortunately, Lil Bastard is made out of some very non-durable material, because by the end of the night he had lost the majority of his right leg.

Here is Mary with Meredith. She also works with Mer (you might recognize her from the infamous Take on Me!!! video) and is very funny and sweet.

Here's my favorite picture of the night. Jenny and Mary are throwing gang signs as they rap along to the ridiculous burned cd they brought. Meredith's face cracks me up.

This is Lindsey. I have been friends with her forever. She was one of my bridesmaids. She is one the kindest people I know. She's also one of the funniest people I know, and you can probably understand why when you look at this next picture.This is Lindsey's "I am Cornholio" impression. She's done it ever since we were in high school. I'm not really sure why she started doing it, but it never fails to make me giggle because it doesn't really seem like something Lindsey would do. She is too funny. This is Lindsey with her husband Troy. They've been married for 4 and a half years. Lindsey and Troy met when our other friend Rachel turned 17. We went to a Kenny Chesney concert to celebrate and Lindsey got stars in her eyes when she met a cute soldier who had come down to the concert from Fort Hood with his Army buddies. They've been an item ever since. They are so cute and one of our favorite couples to hang out with; Troy and Mr. Bunny get along so well and Lindsey and I can always pick up where we left off. Here are all of the McNeil High School alumni that attended the party--Meredith, Mary, me, Lindsey and Michael. Does it smell like teen spirit? Oh my goodness. Michael was an escort for the dance/drill team we participated in during high school. He is another one of the funniest people I know. He's also a bit of ham (see example: him posing in the background of this photo). But one of my favorite people ever. Michael and I share a mutual passion for grammar, spelling and punctuation (which you might not always guess I felt so passionately about by reading this blog; but I promise you, I try my hardest not to make too many errors). He has a quick wit, great hair, and he is an excellent Balderdash and Catch Phrase player. Michael strikes a pose with Mr. Bunny, seen here giving his rapist face. I first noticed his rapist expression when he got a driver's license photo taken where he looked just like he does above. I remarked that he looked like a scary rapist. My sister Meredith and I giggled about it, and became a joke for Mr. Bunny to give her that face all the time. He looked at Meredith that way when she walked down the aisle at my wedding. Recently, when I was a bridesmaid in a wedding, he went around to all the tables and picked up the disposable cameras, taking pictures of his rapist face. He cracks me up. Here's a lovely photo of Mary, Meredith, Lil Bastard and Mr. Bunny. Candidates for America's Next Top Model- Mary and Michael. I don't know what the hell kind of face I'm making in this photo. It makes me giggle, though. Balderdash drama faces. Smiley Jenny. Michael cracks up. Mer poses with Lil Bastard. Thanks for bringing us together for your wonderful birthday party, Mer! You know I love you more than my luggage!
Have a great day!

Love,
Elle Bunny
