A day in the life of a Houston Social Butterfly

 If last night was any indication of what 2008 has then “Houston, we have a problem.” It definitely goes on the list of the worst nye ever…but you know what, I didn’t let it get to me.   It was a major drama night…and yes I try to be drama free, but last night was all kinds of craziness…..not really anything too bad and in fact, my friends were the best thing about last night.  So let’s rewind for a second, so I can give you full details….

One of my friends spent the night Saturday night, ate some bad chicken that was in my freezer around 4 am.  Sunday around 4 pm up until yesterday (Monday) night he was puking his life out.  I never heard anyone go thru so much pain.  So, all day I didn’t know what to do….I couldn’t just kick him out.  My heart was set on shopping all day yesterday and then going out to Zeppelin with my friends to bring in the new year…..but all that was changed.  He tells me around 8pm that he wants to go to the hospital.  I’m thinking, “didn’t you have all day to go, and you just tell me now.” but I didn’t say it…..

Here’s what’s going on in my head and when I turned into Jane Bond:   I gotta take him to the hospital….make sure he’s okay…go back home finish getting ready and then be @ Zeps before 10:30pm. 

Thank god the hospital was fast for once…..they gave him some antibiotics and saline water and who knows what else….then they told him to sleep for a while.  I’m like PEACE OUT…..ahahah! Gave the doctor my number on the side and told him to call me…….um no, I wasn’t tryin to hook up w/ the doctor (although he was cute)…..I told him to call me when my friend was ready. 

So…off I went like a ninja….well a slow ninja ahaha…..I went to gas up, had beauty queen and her date meet me there to get there tix. (that’s multi-tasking) then dashed on to mi casa to “get it together”.  10 min later I was lookin hott….but not as hott as I wanted to be.  Anywhoo…..I pick up Cyn and off I went to Zeps….paid the $20 valet fee so that I could leave in a dash need be…..Met up w/ all of my friends said my hellos, took our pictures and just wasn’t feelin it.  The whole time I’m feelin bad about my friend in the hospital….if I thought my nye was bad…his was even worse. 

Around 11pm I get a call….I dash out of Zeppelin and head out to the hospital……here’s when Jane Bond had to do her wardrobe change….you see, I brought the sweats I wore up to the hospital earlier in my car…..number 1.  I didn’t want to make him feel bad that I was out galavanting while he was laid up….and number 2.  I didn’t want to show up at the hospital in my hoochie ware….okay.. so I stop in the parking lot of CVS and changed back to my sweats…..took my earings off, put my hair in a rubberband and to the hospital I flew…..TG it was less than 5 min away from Zeps….so I walk in and the Dr. says did you go out? ahhaha! He noticed my make-up…..smart guy….I said no, I had to meet some friends and give them their NYE tix…..sometimes when you start believing lies…they soon become truths….ahah!! Okay so I take Mr. Sickly to the pharmacy and am still hoping I can make it back in time for the countdown…..it’s 11:20 and the pharmacist says give me 20 min….so I’m thinkin it’ll be done by 11:40 I can rush home, drop him off, and then back to Zeps…..um no….it didn’t happen that way…

So….we get back to my place and of course I feel bad sayin….hey I’m headin to the club….he even told me why don’t you go out….I just felt really bad though….so along comes my savior…ahhah! No, it seems everything does happen for a reason…Cyn calls me and says that she can’t find Eddie and Zeppelin is being shut down around 12:30am…I’m like well Eddie already left I’ll come get you….(my escape)….I pick her up, call Eddie….he’s at a party down the street w/ free drinks…that’s all he had to say….I was in dire need of an adult libation!!….we hurry over there….I do my Jane Bond change back to my party dress in the car (because I left my apt. in my sweats)…..in front of Cyn…she was the “lookout.”  We go into the bar and it’s about as crappy as my night….but the good thing was I was w/ my 2 bff’s Cyn and Eddie….and we all did a cheers to even though the night was bad atleast we were amongst our good friends. 

Um meanwhile throughout the whole evening I’m getting texts from unidentified numbers saying “Happy New Years”….I just responded U2, who is this…ahahah!

We cut out around 1:45am…I drop of Cyn then head home…..sit on my couch and let the room stop spinnin and then went to sleep….woke up this morning and he’s still asleep on my couch….

Please don’t let this be any indication of my 2008 or else I’d like to just fast forward please!!!

Pictures to come once I find my camera…..
