weekend in review

Let's see. What did I do this weekend?

Well, on Saturday, I woke up around 11 AM. And that, of course, was only because I got a phone call.

"Joe, buddy..."
Uh oh, "buddy" = "I need a favor."
"I need your help."
Uh huh.
"I've moved my TV to another room in my house. So, I need your help rewiring the Direct-TV."
Why did I answer the phone?
"But, let me take you to breakfast first."
Sold.

So, that only took, hmmm, 4 hours. With breaks, of course. But yeah, it took a while.*
-------------------

Secondly, I played bartender for an open house shindig at my aunt and uncle's house. THAT was cool.

There was nothing too complex about it, but it was fun. The fun part was committing people's drinks to memory. So, they walk back to the bar area...

"Hi."
"Well hi there. You had a "Tanquer and Tonic" with two limes and a splash of ginger ale, right?"
"Yeah! I can't believe you remembered that."
"Thanks. I try."

(My secret..... I dunno. I guess I just have a good memory.**)

--------------------

Thirdly, went to church this morning and spent the afternoon with my family. There's nothing better than that.

------------------------
* - Took a while. But man, drilling through walls is fun.
** - Yeah, that sounded pompous. My apologies.

Nothing wrong with having a good memory.

Are you 21?

You are out of control! Hehe.

Anne - No. I'm not. When my aunt asked me if I'd bartend for them, I told her that I won't be 21 til February. She said she didn't care.

Normally, that would bother me. However, my uncle is an awesome defense attorney. And my aunt is the assistant U.S. attorney in ELP. I didn't think there was anything to worry about.

Of course, if you made the drinks strong enough, you could tell them anything.

Plus, you only have to be eighteen to serve alcohol in Texas. Twenty-one to drink it.

Rob - Really? I hadn't realized that...

Chickie said...

Are you juggling liquor bottles yet?

r.fuel said...

Joe- Yes. Really.

r.fuel said...

Also, your uncle is no longer a defense attorney. He works in the same office as your aunt.

Joe Fuel said...

Chickie - No. I'm not juggling liquor bottles yet. But, in my defense, that was the first time I've ever bartended. However, the first time I start juggling bottles, I'll let you know.
