delayed recovery

hey, so its been two days since i blogged, but as far as sleeping goes for me, its only been one. we had that barbecue saturday and everyone was partying well into the night. but one by one they dropped out until by 5 am it was just me and mikes friend john. we were determined to keep drinking, and he made the claim that he wouldnt fall asleep before me - i was up for the challenge. ultimately, i failed, but not before drinking until after 10 am. unfortunately, not more than two hours later i had to wake up because enston and heather (the ones with the sense to go to bed at a reasonable time) were awake and hungry. so we went to waffle house, one of the finest southern breakfast establishments around. after that i just caught some more sleep until people came over to watch nascar. nascar as far as racing isnt interesting to me at all, but i like getting together and drinking and grilling and such, so i enjoyed that. but due to exhaustion and hard-partying the night before, i didnt get all that drunk. but i did stay up and watch a bunch of tv with mike after everyone went to bed.
then this morning we had to get up at 9 to take enston and heather to the airport. its too bad they were here so briefly - it was great to hang out, though they could both brush up on their staying-up-late-partying skills. but all in all a great weekend with them. after the airport, shelley departed for some whitewater rafting. mike and i considered going, but it would have meant missing tonights music trivia, so it was out of the question. so thats what we have planned tonight, but not til 8. right now mike is sitting next to me playing his brand new nascar game that he picked up today. i tried it; perhaps ill try again later, but its not something i can do for long periods of time. i dont understand the draw. but i try intermittently, and thats all mike can ask.
