No Harm No Fowl

its almost midnight on saturday night and we've just returned from our girls night in niagara falls! i'm exhausted but i just looked at my notes from last night and realized that if i didn't post immediately i would be even more lost.

our ultimate goal for the weekend was to buy lingerie from victoria's secret and to eat at PF Changs. mission accomplished, however, the funniest parts of the weekend occured before we even made it to the states. instead of driving to rochester and back on the same day (rochester is the closest city with a PF Changs) we thought it would be more fun to spend the night in niagara falls and then cross the border in the morning.

we (shannon, allie, melissa, taryn and i) met at our place after work on friday night and hit the road. i have no idea what guys talk about when they are hanging out together but it took almost 4 minutes before our conversation turned to sex. we were still talking about it four hours later in applebees, a small point which may or may not have contributed to the speedy departure of all the people seated at neighbouring tables.

obviously i'm not going to get into the details of what we talked about (i actually don't even remember most of it and the quotes i wrote down don't help much) but the conversation made me realize, once again, just how lucky i am to have such a solid group of girlfriends. hilarious girlfriends at that. and i was kind of exaggerating about just talking about sex ... we totally talked about other things too ...

t had the foresight to bring a bottle of vodka with us to niagara so that we would be able to relax and have a cocktail before we went out. she went with s and a to buy some mix while m and i just watched tv and chilled out. there was a veritable beverage buffet in our room and we were feeling pretty good by the time we went for dinner at 10. i wasn't kidding about alienating the crowd at applebees; they literally cleared out of the place right after we got there. but i agree with shannon's point that there was no way that we were the loudest or most debaucherous people to eat there, not even close. as she said, "you remind yourself you're in niagara falls and in an applebees, i'll take my shirt off if you don't mind." aren't casino towns supposed to be open to anything?

the casino was actually a bit of a disappointment. we aren't gamblers and there wasn't even the opportunity to learn the games. and there was no way that we were going to play 15$ tables when most of us had a 20$ gambling limit. we all played the slots until we ran out of money and went home.

this morning we drove to rochester and did some good shopping and eating before we drove back. i was accused of being a closet birder - which i am not, btw - and for some reason we spent a fair bit of time talking about nature and the animal kingdom. so random.

as per usual i am going to give you some of the best quotes that i jotted down in my little black sleuthing book:

"it smells like sweat, it smells like pot"
"wild muslim sports cafe"
"fuck, he just came in my pants"
"good lord your tits look amazing"
"t and i seem to have a similar taste in frequency and trans-fat content"
"here's what we are being bitches about: socioeconomic status ... and incest. hahaha we love it"
"maybe we didn't go to church together but we did do a bartending course"
"if i don't have cheese dripping down my cleavage its not a good night"
"you've identified yourself birder"
"i hate miles"
"cover your gaping gas-hole"

and finally i have some pictures to post!:
