Wedding Quote

I went to a friend's wedding this weekend. All very lovely. I was chatting with some women I used to work with - both my age-ish, married with kids.

Also both with lovely, pale, Irish, bright-red-sun-burn-after-3-minutes-outside type skin. After a few drinks one of them turned to me and said:

Seriously, screw love and money. Marry for melanin.

I need to get some older friends

So - I have these 26 year olds that I hang out with quite a bit. Both lovely gents and I have fun with them and, most of the time, we're on the same wavelength. But Saturday night we're out and I had one of those moments where I felt like I was babysitting.

They were arguing about something and then (and I kid you not) started slapping each other upside the head across the table and tapping each other's beer to make it foam over. I was in the middle and finally had to put my arms out and stop them.

At which point I uttered what Ted (one of the aforementioned 26 year olds) determined should be a someecard:

After the pre-teen fighting stopped I looked at them and said :

"I gotta go. I need to get up early tomorrow to reevaluate my life."
