Bloody Knees

This past weekend my friends and I decided to have fun weekend in Minneapolis to break up this god awful winter we have been having.

It was Molly, her older sister Laura, and myself.

Laura set up the entire weekend on a seemingly airtight schedule. Molly and I are usually very relaxed and often late. Laura is not. So to keep us in line, Laura made set reservations everywhere we went and threatened our livelihood if we messed her plans up.

We were expected at Laura's apartment at 1pm.

Molly drove to the nail salon. She is afraid of everything. EVERYTHING. She claims she is just a very "defensive" driver. I may label her a "delusional" driver. She thinks everyone and everything is out to get her and often does very unpredictable things to avoid accidents. Once we were in the middle lane and a person was driving about the same speed in another lane. Molly screamed and swerved in the other direction. This was the sign that perhaps she was not suited for driving. Thankfully Laura took over driving the rest of the weekend.

Nail appointment was at 1:30pm. I enjoyed it. I also made several very stupid mistakes during the appointment like trying to dip my foot in the wax, but there was a cover on it. There were also massage chairs which I couldn't really figure out. The nail lady took the remote out of my hand a couple times to help me out. Pretty sure she thought I was mentally challenged.

Once our nails were dry Laura started hounding us to get our act together because we needed to check into the hotel by 4pm. Molly and I were wining about food and how we needed to pee and get liqueur. I am sure Laura wanted to slap us. We eventually got our way and got to eat. During the meal we realized that Molly can not multi task in any sense. She can not even chew and walk at the same time.

After the meal Laura was still in hurry to get to the hotel "on time" and she sprinted out to the car. She was wearing flip flops to avoid ruining her pedicure. She tripped and ruined all of her nails on one foot. Her pedicure lasted about 30 min.

Laura set us up with a beautiful room at The Grove Hotel and it was wonderful. We drank and got ready to go out.

We went to Ichiban. 7:30pm. We still had to wait a little while even though we had a reservation which did not please laura. It was wonderful and very expensive. We had 6 shots of sake, a mixed drink, and one glass of wine each. Needless to say we were feeling giggly by the end of dinner. We went back to the hotel to drop off left overs. We tried desperately to take a picture of all three of us in the reflection of the elevator door...failed.

While we were in the room we decided to all take a shot before going to the bars. Laura went pee and it was our responsibility to pour shots. We had all the booze and some plastic cups sitting on the windowsill. Molly knocked over a plastic cup and it somehow shattered the glass top on a table below it! It was safety glass so it was in a million pieces all over the floor! Molly and I looked at each other and said "how the hell did that just happen?!" Laura shouted from the bathroom "what just happened?" and we responded "NOTHING!" (like we were going to clean it all up before she came out of the bathroom)

Laura emerges from the b-room and says that we need to clean it up and hope that they don’t notice. So Molly and I get down on the floor and are scooping up shards of glass. Molly then yells "yay girls night!"

After a while of doing this, my hands are starting to bleed about the same time that Molly's knees start leaving a bloody print on the carpet. She exclaims that she doesn’t understand why her knees are bleeding so much. I tell her to get up so we don’t add any more fines to our room (not to mention the DNA we are leaving behind!). She goes to clean herself up but still manages to get blood on the duvet and more carpet. I get the carpet cleaned and continue to try to clean up the glass. My buzz is wearing off by this time and it was becoming more painful to pick up the glass. We decide to go out and clean the rest up later.

We go to a couple bars. Laura leaves at 12:30am to take a shower and sleep (lame). Molly and I continue to drink and are hassled A LOT to leave at bar close. haha

We get up to the room and essentially pass out.

Molly and I shared a bed and she enjoys to sleep at a diagonal and snore. I had to get up and physically move her over.

We wake up the next morning and the room was completely TRASHED. Our shit was everywhere. Booze and half full glasses of drinks were scattered on every surface. There is glass all over the floor.

Molly was extremely dramatic about her hangover (imagine that) and had to sit down in the shower because she could not bare to stand for that long. we eventually cleaned everything all up and checked out. I was in charge of bringing to the bag of glass out (to get rid of evidence) and I imagined the bag breaking in the lobby...luckily that did not happen.

We then went to a wonderful restaurant called 3 squares and got a fantastic breakfast!

Then we went our separate ways.

Wonderful evening with some fantastic gals. I make fun of them, but all in good fun!
