The Morning After
So Sunday morning I woke up and decided as a treat I’d run up to McDonald’s for some breakfast. On the drive back, as I’m going through our subdivision, I’m sitting at a stop sign and notice coming from the corner house, is 4 girls. It’s 10 in the morning. These girls were obviously in bar/club clothes. It was hilarious to watch as these girls tip toe out the side door and race to their car. Three of them trying to get to front passenger side first. It was clearly one of those "morning afters" and I chuckled, reminded of those days in my life, "did I really look like that?." I remember hitting the clubs with my friends. One or more of us would meet a group of guys or run into some we know. Several drinks later it’s one of those, "hey you guys should come back to our place for more partying." The morning is torture. Sneaking in the bathroom hoping to remove what was once glamorous eye makeup off from underneath your puffy eyes and cheeks before any of the guys sees you.
On the way home, us girls would stop for coffee and gatorade to kill the hangover. We’d laugh about the evening. Talk about one guy in the group like "as if" We’d reach whomever’s house it was that all our car were parked. Say good-bye and head home for a long nap. Only to do it all over again the following weekend.
Oh, that’s so funny. I sooo remember those days, haha!
Thank you for the fun memories! I watch my sister, who is only six years younger but six that make all the difference, and wonder how I stayed up all night so often then came home to take that nap!
As you mentioned the morning mirror, I had a flashback- rubbing away that raccoon ring of mascara before He woke up; running fingers through my hair; running a fingertip of His toothpaste across my teeth. Giggling like crazy with a girlfriend for days after about what we did or didn’t do, about pickup lines heard, about how cute so and so was.
And doing it all again and again.
hey, did i see where the Tigers won something in baseball? What’s up with that?
