Just one of the boys

I am not going to Jacksonville for the greatest outdoor cocktail party ever again. I didnt go last year nor abour 7 years ago when I would have actually been able to drive the 6 hours home with the 'W'. Last year I was a little preoccupied with something and I didnt make the trip but every year I have gone - it's just like they predict: Georgia wins the party Friday night and Florida wins the game on Saturday. I don't really want to talk about this too much more as it makes me ill. My 14 year old sister may have made some better play calls on 3rd and 15 and I think I can catch a better football even despite the sweaty palms every so often (only when I am excited these days). Enough said. I will not go next year and we will win. But aside from the terrible display of football witnessed - the weekend was spectacular.
My fincky nature and inability to make decisions only when I know they will effect or let someone else down kicked in and I didnt decide for sure that I would go until..oh...11 am on Friday. Luckily, my new friend wasnt leaving until 1 so I packed everything Red and Black that I owned, whipped up some snacks for the car because that is what girls do when we travel. Of course, that is what girls do regardless. We try to act like we are being sweet and considerate but most of the time when we make sweets we are making them for our pleasure subconsciously.
We hit the road around 1;30: myself, my new friend and my other new friend to be nameless. Even the 5 (which turned into 6 ) hour trip was such a blessing. I really enjoyed the conversation and loved sitting quietly listening to the boys go over the list of every hot girl inside the perimeter. Girls: note to selves: boys like hot girls. They like personalities but they do like hot girls and they do think about girls and situations with girls alot more than I ever imagined. Second note to girls: boys might talk about girls but they dont seem to strategize the way girls do nor fantasize futures together as girls do. Just being a girl wears a girl out. For this past weekend though I kind of made myself one of the boys.
Friday night I changed in to my best party outfit I could throw together while changing in the back of the car. These details are pointless so lets cut to the meat here: Friday night was great hopping around to see old friends and meet new ones. Eveyone is friends during GA/FLA weekend.
Saturday started off with a gourmet breakfast of eggs and venicen. Okay, again, I dont see a bunch of girls getting up and pulling out the self-hunted deer meat while watching ESPN Gameday. We then headed to the stadium and tailgate hopped for the next few hours. My buddy from college, Brett, made the most amazing hamburgers I have ever had. This is really an 'EVER' - they were that good!
Okay, so - skip the game - the boys then began a never ending ping pong tourney. Competitive boys are really cute I say. I enjoyed watching the ego's come alive even in to the 2 am hour.
Ride home was great too. I love my new friends and loved the weekend.
