One Tough Mama

This weekend was my best friend Erin's 23rd birthday!  The plan was to meet at Las Margaritas at 5.  Erin told me that she had done something crazy, but that she wouldn't tell me what it was until dinner.  She also told me, that I might be mad at her.  I absolutely hate when I don't know something and so of course I had many guesses as to what it was ... a few of my guesses were strange and not appropriate for this blog I admit, but what could possibly make me mad at her? As soon as she arrived at the restaurant, she pulled out her phone and showed me this picture.

Erin bought herself a bike!  Of course I gave her the "mom talk" about how she has to think about me and Will (her 2.5 year old) every time she gets on it.  

After dinner and a Sombrero wearing birthday song, we headed down to Emerald Queen Casino to watch one of Erin's UFC friends fight.  Everyone was really excited to see my reaction to the fighting, I was just plain scared.  Lucky for me, but to the disappointment of everyone else the fight was sold out.  Erin did get to see her friend fight though, some guy gave her a ticket and she walked in the stadium just as they were calling out his name.  He won the fight.  Erin, her friend Brian and I gambled $10 collectively at the slot machines.  Our favorite was the UNICORN!  It was definitely the most fun and the cheapest (1 cent).  We lost all of our money on the unicorn because some lady, who we think works for the casino, told us that we wouldn't win any money if we only bet 1 cent so we started betting higher and EQC took our ten dollars. :(  After hanging out at the Casino just long enough for our clothes to smell we headed back towards Seattle.  We decided to go to theater sports, an improv comedy show, at pikes market.  It was a special night because they had their regular improv people, but then they had Japanese improv people who didn't speak a word of english.  Some of the translation was hilarious.  Overall it was an awesome night celebrating my best friends birthday.  Love you Erin, no matter what crazy things you do!
