Kipfest 2010

Everyone is scared of Raftery. It even killed Green:

So Kip came to visit this weekend and even though I missed most of it (work Friday, class Saturday, he left Sunday morning), we had a pretty good time. The boys went out alone on Thursday, golfed Friday, then we went to Karen and Ryan's for some Baulderdash and dinner. They spent the day at the St. Patrick's Day parade in Norfolk, then we all entered a beer pong tournament at Keagan's at Hilltop. (Yes, there is a Keagan's at Hilltop!) We had such a good time. The team names were all hilarious and those people could really hang. They even knew what we were saying when we sang "Flipadelphia". Chris Zach and I made it all the way to the semi-finals and even kicked Kip and Kev's butts at one point. We were super disappointed to lose (I take total credit for the final loss, seeing as I was the driver and didn't drink any beer) because the prize was a t-shirt with Neptune playing beer pong. Here are some of my favorite shots:

Lopsided eyes strike again. St. Patrick's Day = awesome. I totally wish my name tag said Clive Bigsby instead of Meg5han.

I sent this message to Raftery via email today, to remind him to do his chores for the day. This is my new favorite game. Go to blabberize.com to make your own!

The Admirals Fight At Midnight

Despite being dreadfully sick today, this has been quite a fun weekend. We started by having a "girl's night" in Norfolk, dress shopping and drinking. My camera battery was almost dead, but here are a few shots.

This was the first dress the girls tried:

This they tried for Kevin's sake. It was after this particular pose that the sales woman declared, "You girls are fun!" She was not saying that 438 color choices later.

Here's the dress we actually decided on, because it is NOT too short and does NOT make anyone look "hippy":

Find it at www.davidsbridal.com, Style: 83707. We picked it in clover, after much debate. Here was the runner up:

Psych. But Jill and Janet both modeled it for us, just for fun:

The peacock feathers really just make this dress. Afterward, we went out for dinner and drinks at the Olive Garden since most of us are forbidden from going there. A little boy in the booth behind us tapped me on the shoulder at one point and said, "Excuse me. You guys are too loud." Evidence:

Looks innocent enough to me. We plan to "dress shop" more often!

Last night, we went to an Admiral's game with some firemen. It was packed there, for some reason. I waited in line for nearly half an hour for about 4 nachos which cost approximately $1 each, I'm pretty sure. The view:

As per usual, we decided to spice things up by playing the "envelope game". (Basically soft-core gambling for hockey games). Kevin was the first winner:

But the BIG winner was M.O. who got the envelope with exactly 5:59 on the clock (Chis Zach had it until 6 minutes). The other team had already scored 4 points so this was a HUGE win:

Smug face, eh? He will not be invited back. Finally, I leave you with some audio (the video is hard to see) of Maddy's latest vice: human-like snoring. Enjoy. I know I am.
