(Before I lost over 100 lbs I drank a lot to forget who I was, now I drink to celebrate who I’ve become. I went from the fat girl with a brittle smile ’cause I hated who I was, to now being the life of the party, with a happily forward personality that makes people enjoy being with me. So while this post may seem like it has nothing to do with weight loss, in reality, it never would have happened to the unhappily married, heavy girl that I used to be.)
A Saturday night with @nursejennifer….
This post has absolutely nothing to do with nursing but I had soooo much fun last night I wanted to share it with you guys. Plus I have no hangover!!! Here’s my trick. Trust me this is NOT medical advice, it just works for me and I love to party!! I always start the evening with a 5 hour energy shot (loaded with B12) and 2 ibuprofen. That puts me ahead of the the game, well in my mind anyways. I’m hyper as hell on my own and my vice would happen to be redbull and vodka . I usually knock back about 8-10 of those bad boys, it’s a miracle my heart doesn’t explode. Not a real healthy combo…but it does the trick and I love it.
The funfest began around 3:30 when I went to pick up one of my best friends Courtney. We headed downtown to a grand opening of a new bar/fundraiser for the American Red Cross. It was a huge crawfish boil with 1,000 pounds of bugs and tons of beer. I even broke out my hooker dress yesterday it’s so cute I love it! It’s a little white sundress that’s about 4” above the knee, so it’s really not that slutty…I was sporting that with my favorite pair of high heel cowboy boots. I gotta get those bad boys resoled they have seen many, many a two step. Walking across the parking lot you could see people dancing in the street to the live band. Kegs were flowing and bugs were being consumed by the masses. One of the great things about this town is at an event like this you are bound to know at least half the people. So it’s always a blast to see all my peeps.
I started out with beers, only 3, then I switched to my fav, vodka and redbull and it was GAME ON!! About 4-5 vodkas and a few hours later we headed to the dueling pianos concert. @Ronhekier and @lipodoc were there with tons of medical folks. 
One of the guys that plays the piano just happens to be a really cool surgeon so always a huge medical crowd at the bar when he rocks. Props to the nurses and docs, man dthey doknow how to party!!About 4 more vodka and redbulls then we went on to Fat Jacks a really cool corner bar. More drinks in… Then it was time to go dancing. I love to dance more than I love to drink!!
Next stop was shooters, it’s a big bar with some great tunes a big dance floor and guys that love to dance. I’m that girl that will walk up to anybody and I mean anybody and ask them to dance. I especially like to ask the guys who seem to not be having a good time or the big guys that don’t seem to have any confidence. It makes me feel so good to see somebody smile. I also for some reason when on my tenth red bull and vodka have this odd confidence that makes me think I can dance waaaayyyy better than I really can. I am sure I look pretty stupid but it’s a blast so who cares!! We partied on till we closed it down then we took the shuttle home. That was a funny ride!! About 11 drunk idiots on the courtesy shuttle to get home safe makes for some good laughs. Needless to say we made it back to Court’s safe and sound. I crashed on the couch and we were up by 8:00. No hangover at all. Court took me back to my big red bus that we left downtown like planned. I know… right, look at us being all responsible and stuff. J Made it home safe and sound in the morning slammed one more 5 hour energy an ice cold gatorade and I have to admit I was pretty damn productive Sunday, lol.
