What a night!
I came home from the longest day at work EVER and made an M&M pizza. I brought it over to Marianne's, since she was having a girls night, and we girls love chocolate! Well, we were all hanging out for a little while, just talking and stuff...and all of a sudden we heard what sounded like elephants stampeding through the house and down the stairs...and we looked up and the boys had invaded! They were all dressed in dress-up shirts and ties, looking quite dapper. They call themselves the "Mother Mary Mafia", and started tying some of the girls' hands together to take them hostage, and Dominick started pulling on my arm. My right arm. I started yelling, "Dominick! I had surgery!!" - so, he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder and carried me up the stairs and out of the house. We all filed into Gabe's 14-passenger van, whilst wondering aloud "Where in the heck are we going!?" We had no idea and not a one of us was wearing shoes. Then I realized I had a ping pong paddle in my hand. I don't know why. Oy. Then Dominick got in the front seat and yelled back, "Ok! Sing-along!", and we started singing "The Wheels on the Bus" as we drove away. Then we sang "Boom-chicka-boom" (astronaut and janitor style). It was a riot. We didn't know where we were going AT ALL. We counted a total of 17 people in our van alone (there were three cars behind us). As we approached Riverside Dominick turned around and said, "You know, we all decided to dress up and take you out for ice cream at Culver's. Just so you know you're appreciated." So we got all excited...and Gabe drove right past it. Dominick was like "Just kidding!!" Argh. And then we drove around a little more, and drove past Bobby's house and saw that his backyard was all decorated. We pulled in his driveway and all got out, and it was really pretty. The backyard had lights on it, the pool had balloons in it, and the boys were all waiting for us wearing their fancy outfits. They were playing some mushy song and announced, "We decided to have a night for all the women to show you that we appreciate you!". So we danced and ate pizza and sang songs and joked around for the rest of the night. Some people jumped in the pool, others were involuntarily submerged. Nevertheless, it was a great time. We did a lot of random dancing and mingling and just had really good fellowship. The boys even played "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", which they actually sang along to, since they knew all the words (odd). It was just a really good time. The first time I'd ever been kidnapped...and I loved it. :)
A wonderful way to end this stressful, crazy, tiring week. Thanks guys!!
