What Happened to My Pants?

So last night three of the best girlfriends ever indulged me in what we called "A Blast from My Past." After work all four of us drove down to Toledo (an hour long drive) to eat scrumptious food and take a tour of one of my favorite spots, Perrysburg Ohio.

The night started at El Vaquero, a mexican restaurant that specializes in delicious food and fabulous margaritas (and Diet Coke for me, the driver!). Cheers!

After dinner the ladies let me take them on a driving tour of Perrysburg. I showed them where Nathan and I both used to live, the park where we got engaged, our old high school (where they proceeded to make fun of me for an un-named reason), the Lutheran church where Nathan grew up attending and his mom worked, downtown Perrysburg and some of my favorite spots in "the Burg." Our final stop in Perrysburg was to my favorite place of all, Mr. Freeze. The best darn family run ice cream shop! Jenny and Meghan got chocolate malts (divine), I got a vanilla cup with crunch coat and Sara got a fresh-squeezed lemon freeze.



After taking this picture we were walking back to our car when we heard the following statement: "I've got sprinkles for you!" at which point Jenny stopped in her tracks and spun around with elation for the man that had brought her sprinkles. Turns out it was a nice dad giving his two boys their ice cream cones covered in sprinkles. We all burst out laughing, at Jenny's excitement not the man's kind gesture to his children. After we calmed down a bit we kept walking to our car. As we were walking up I noticed one of the little boys had lost the ice cream off the top of his cone...it was laying by our tire wheel. Here is the conversation that ensued:

Me "Oh no! Your ice cream fell! Where's your dad? I'm sure he can get you a new one!"

Little ice cream-less boy in a very mad voice "I have one. He's at home."

Well, poor little guy was trying so hard not to cry and all the ladies could do was giggle at his response. The photo below is of Meghan listening to Sara rehash the story of the little ice cream-less boy.

One of my girlfriends changed the subject with the following story. We'll call her MJenny for privacy reasons. :)

"So, I went to the bathroom today. And you know how when you wear a skirt it's easier to lift your skirt up when you're in the bathroom? Well, when I was finished I panicked and thought "What happened to my pants?" Then I remembered I was wearing a skirt."

(MJenny laughs at herself as the rest of us are DYING of laughter)

"You know the worst part guys? I went to the bathroom later and I panicked again because I couldn't find my pants!"

Oh MJenny, thanks for entertaining us on the way back to Ann Arbor.

Wow, Mr. Freeze has a light up sign now! He's moving up in the world! Okay, and not a good thing to put on your blog for a craving pregnant woman to see! I'm so wanting a Mr. Freeze chocolate ice cream cone now with chocolate chip cookie dough. If you could just pick one of those up for me and bring down to Texas, that would be great!
