Don’t forget that Itta Bena has $3 flavored SKYY vodka martinis tonight from 5 to 7.\u00a0 These are the same martinis they served at their Sex and the City party a week ago Friday, so you know there will be lots of girly drinks for ladies who want to chill out after work.\u00a0 I plan on having a few cheap martinis, as much for the girl-watching as for the drink prices; then at 7 I’ll move to the Saucer for Pint Nite.<\/p>\n

Sunday Fun Day was a blast yesterday.\u00a0 My BFF Suzy joined me for brunch at the Majestic.\u00a0 She told me she’s having people over for drinks sometime soon, and “you should come, there will be some cute girls there.”\u00a0 BEST BFF EVER.\u00a0 Whoever becomes BFF of the Month for July is going to have a high standard to live up to.<\/p>\n

After brunch, we moved on to the Saucer.\u00a0 Played a few pool games, then wandered inside to find a game of drunk darts going on:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dude, how wasted do you have to be to miss the dart board by THAT MUCH?<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the girls were playing darts on the other board.\u00a0 Apparently they didn’t quite understand how to play cricket, where you close out the 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15 and the bullseye, so they invented their own game:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Amanda (pictured above) told me she was going to wear a tube top, but she went to church and she was afraid the grandmothers there would frown on that type of behavior.\u00a0 Which brings me to this story I found online:\u00a0 15 Minutes with Sarah Keller<\/a>.\u00a0 In particular, there was a quote from the interviewee:\u00a0 “One summer my Grandma Carolyn helped me sew a tube top from Wal-Mart Fabric; I was hooked.”\u00a0 BEST GRANDMOTHER EVER!\u00a0 If Grandma Carolyn is still alive, I’m going to send her a fruit basked for Grandparents’ Day in September.<\/p>\n

About 5 we did a venue change to Itta Bena, because the girls wanted half-off bottles of wine, which is their Sunday night special.\u00a0 After they polished off a couple of bottles, my friend Kacy came up with one of the best ideas ever:\u00a0 A TubeTopalooza party to celebrate the end of Tube Top Month in a few weeks.\u00a0 Working on the details of that today.<\/p>\n

In the news:\u00a0 The Memphis Business Journal reports that there’s a tap water movement<\/a> going on, where local restaurants served only tap water last Thursday to make customers aware of the environmental impact of bottled water.\u00a0 Downtown restaurants Stella and Circa participated.<\/p>\n

And that’s the news for today… heading back to work for more fun with file imports.\u00a0 Yay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
