Jumping back

Whoo hoo! Fun Photo Fridays are back!

Link up with this gorgeous girl here!

Today I'm going back to the days where my job was FUN.

We had a great sense of teamwork, morale and overall friendship.

And i loved every second of it.

Since then, many of my co-workers have moved on,

half of them are still with us, but working in another building,

and things just aren't the same.

Luckily I've been able to form good friendships with many of my co-workers that extend outside the office. And  we'll always have the memories of the good times we shared.

We said I do.

And two became one.

Thru all the ups, the downs, the laughter, and the tears.

We've been thru it together.

As a team. As husband and wife.

And I couldn't be happier.

And for all you hopeless romantics out there,
i'll leave you with this link to a post for an incredible proposal.

Trust me, you'll want to read this.

Today i'm jumping back to a gross, yet fun, hilarious and traumatizing memory...

DISCLAIMER: This post is not for weak-stomach people!

 

Let me set the scene for you a bit...

It was 2009. Holiday Happy Hour, organized by yours truly at Big Fish - a local seafood joint in Princeton. We were all gathered after work to celebrate the holidays, relax and kick back after a successful year...

Staying true to our previous happy hours, we decided to take a shot. And me, having to prove that i was wearing my big girl panties that night decided i would partake in said shot. Only this wasn't any ORDINARY shot. It was an Oyster Shooter... now you may be wondering what kind of disgustingness is in an Oyster Shooter, so let me break it down for you:

• Absolut Peppar
• Splash of lemon
• Splash of Cocktail Sauce
• and 1 Big Ass Nasty RAW OYSTER

Yup, its SPICY and MUSHY and LEMONY all at the same time in your mouth... so basically you can't just down the shot... you have to chew the massive oyster thats at the bottom.  Only, I couldn't eat the oyster!!! I know, you have a look of PURE disgust on your face right now imagining this. I tried... i chewed, i gagged, and then i did it. I spit that sucker back into the cup. My eyes were already watering from the Absolut Peppar (that shit is HOT)...

And what follows this is absolutely horrifying.... The guy in the pic in the black button down (my buddy M) comes over to me... sees the oyster in the glass and calls me a big ol' P*SSY for not eating it.... so i chuck it down again.... chew.. chew... chew some more.... GAG and spit it back out...i just couldn't do it. that nasty ass oyster did NOT want to go in my belly....

are you ready for this..... M grabs the glass...... and DOWNS my TWICE CHEWED up oyster!!!!!
i mean, i'll admit, we were drunk as skunks, but that's just downright NASTINESS!

after i somehow managed to get myself home that night, i woke up around 4am to empty the contents of my still burning stomach and prayed to the porcelain goddess for the rest of the night... and yes... it was as spicy coming back up. (TMI?) coincidentally, M tossed the oyster onto his driveway when he got home....he also didn't remember puking until about 2 days later AFTER he called me "weak sauce" for not being able to hold my liquor.

To this day, the sight of raw oysters make me gag. so while i wouldn't want to necessarily GO BACK to this memory, it was an awesome night (pre-shot) and makes one hell of a funny story that we tell people!

What photo would YOU go back to today?

Fun Photo Friday

Linking up today with Page Twenty-two (love her blog by the way) for

Here's my pick for the week!

this was taken in August of 2003. 

on a cruise with my cousins and family...

Yes almost TEN years ago... 

i was TWENTY-TWO (how appropriate for this link up!)...

and no im not wasted, i just look severely asian.

oh wait, i AM asian. duh.

Look at me... tan, skinny, YOUNG!

i look like such a hot slore... (thats slut/whore in kardashian speak)

and i mean that in the most complimentary way possible.

ha!

ready to go out dancing, drinking,

and having the time of my life!

I would definitely go back in time to this age forever.

• the age where i didn't have to worry about my eggs rotting because according to my mother, my "clock is ticking"
• the age where my bank account existed solely to fund my trips to the mall - why oh why did they not have f21 back then!
• the age where i had all this time to figure out who what i wanted to do in life...
• the age where i had few responsibilities other than figuring out what bar i was dancing on hitting that night...

yup. bring me back there...

well only for a night or two. 

{sadly, i probably couldn't handle much more}

but, we'll always have the memories...

ahhhhhh...

happy friday!
