Weekend bullet points:
**Um, I love traveling by train. Seriously. Can I do it all the time?
**Didn’t take my laptop with me so couldn’t write on the train. But read and slept a lot.
**Good old Rocky Mount, NC (But she lives in Greenville) and my bestie Jackie!! It was as if I just saw her yesterday…
**But I hadn’t so we spent all night talking and catching up.
**And went to see the Time Traveler’s Wife…Jackie hadn’t read the book but she will now! (Review to come later)
**Love her apt, love her dog, love HER!
**Sat morning, the forecast said Scattered T-Storms but I convinced her we should drive to the beach anyway.
**I LOVE COUNTRY ROADS!! AHH THE PEACE!!
**Funky van in front of Starbucks.
**More talking and catching up.
**The weather turned out to be PERFECT!
**Wait…who’s that singing “Careless Whispers”? (Turns out it’s Seether!)
**Good times at the beach…loved the calm waters…even more talking and catching up.
**Jackie’s bf offered to make us dinner…Chicken parm and apple-pineapple pie. Yum!
**We wanted to go dancing…Realized we haven’t officially had a drink together since we turned 21 so we HAD to do that.
**Drinks in NC ARE SO DAMN CHEAP! Seriously. I wanna move there.
**Obnoxious, stupid bartender who was actually really cute…Such a shame that she was an idiot.
**Jackie got buzzed…So friggin hilarious.
**We went to this bar called Tank…uh, tanked is what it did…so we went across the street…You’ll never believe what it was called…
**Jackie and I danced like we owned that place…Did not let a single guy dance with us…One guy actually asked us if we were lesbians which was hilarious considering we weren’t the only two girls in the place NOT grinding up on each other. (Read: We can actually dance)…Danced till 2…
**I somehow managed to drop my phone in the toilet…FML
**Sang at the top of our lungs on the drive back…I finally got the big deal about Britney’s song “If you seek Amy” (Yes, I now know it’s not written that way, hence the controversy and I seriously love that song now)
**Stopped at Sheetz…I got a grilled cheese samwich and fries (Where the fuck did my diet go?) and Jackie got a pretzel with nacho cheese.
**More singing at the top of our lungs.
**BREAK OUT THE YEARBOOK.
**Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
**Time to drive back and say goodbye 🙁
It was such an amazing weekend…I was very tempted to stay and hide out from the world. I can’t express how glad I am to have reconnected with Jackie…it’s as if a part of me was missing all these years.
I’m also going to have to go back for a week and just take pictures…So many gorgeous sites…so little time. To see some of the pix I took, you can go here.
I also did a lot of thinking (Esp after a convo I had Thursday night) and came to a lot of realizations…May or may not share…but my life is gonna change.
How was your weekend? I am SO jealous of everyone that went to the NYC Meetup…I hear my ears should’ve been ringing because some people *coughMaxiecoughJaimecoughJohn* couldn’t stop talking about my boobs!
♥ to everyone!

<3 X 1000
My weekend was almost as fun. I somehow got a 36″ wide couch through a 30″ wide door down 30″ wide stairs and through another 30″ wide door to my new room in the basement. Then we repeated with the chair.
I then spent the remainder of the weekend in the chair.

Very cool
Glad you had fun. I spent mine dealing with a motorcycle accident. I blogged the accident, but not the fall-out.
Sorry to hear about the accident.
I love that van… like alot. I’m glad you had such a good time!
It was there the next morning too. I wanted it so bad!
Sounds like TONS of fun!!! That van is crazy weird.
I know. I wanted to take more pictures but people were looking at me like I was crazy
Uhm, yes, word in NYC is that your boobs are FANTASTIC!! lol 😉
.-= Lauren´s last blog ..NYC =-.
Yeah, I got tweets and texts from Maxie, John and Jaime…lol
I felt giddy that you guys were thinking of me 🙂
yes, it would have been the best if you were there and I got to meet you. Next time though! I’m glad you had fun in NC!! 🙂
I’m glad you had a great time. My weekend was pretty boring. I spent Saturday shopping for J’s bridal shower stuff. I couldn’t find any TMNT stuff anywhere, so I ended up ordering stuff on line. I made my first Fondant Iced cake. It was okay, but I will keep practicing.
Self evaluating your life and making much needed changes are always a good thing *hugs*
You’re seriously doing the TMNT? DAMN IT, I WANNA COME!! LOL
Yep and of course your are invited. My mom is planning on painting herself green for it. LMAO
(that was supposed to say you are invited, but the mistype shouldn’t surprise you. LMAO)
Awww how awesome!!! Looks like you had great fun! 🙂
.-= Cassi´s last blog ..Things I have learned from my Toddler =-.

.-= Alice´s last blog ..eharmony: i am not compatible =-.
I know right? I <3 that song…and the Seether cover is even better.
sounds like everyone had an amazing weekend
.-= phampants´s last blog ..20SB Vlog Day 3 – What Does 20SB Mean to You? =-.
Yup!
We used to live in Greenville when I was in grad school. I miss cheap drinks (and food) so much!
.-= The Northerner´s last blog ..Gap Born to Fit Giveaway Winners! =-.
Oh my god, the drinks! I had to seriously ask twice everytime I paid for a drink to make sure I heard right.
Oh, and quick access to the beach!
.-= The Northerner´s last blog ..Gap Born to Fit Giveaway Winners! =-.
I am dying to see The Time Traveler’s Wife. Hopefully this week!
.-= Jill Pilgrim´s last blog ..Wherein I Prove That Reality TV Is Actually An Elaborate Plan To Keep Me From Murdering The Homeless =-.
It was really good 🙂
I’m glad you had so much fun, I really am! You had millions more fun than I did from the sounds of it, so I’m jealous of you too. 😀
.-= Jaime | Fast Times´s last blog ..Some Random Tuesday Thoughts =-.
Okay okay, I should’ve just kept reading before I commented on the last blog because now I know where in NC you were. Ha.
I refuse to go see “The Time Traveler’s Wife” until I read it. I feel this absolute need to read the book first.
Groovy van! Sweet doggie! Nice wristband! Notice I am making inane observations here? Hahaha!
