oh what a trip

So as I am typing this entry, I am sitting in a bar at the Louisville airport awaiting my flight to go back to Minnesota. Christmas was great, 10 days in the town that I said I vowed to never to return to and hate, when in the end it was good to see. I spent most of my days crocheting people hats, it’s funny I come back to grad school and the first thing I tell my friends is that I learned how to crochet…..

Got to see some old friends, had a party at my house this is the second time doing it, it’s a good way to see everybody all at once. The night began with beer pong, ended with hot tub and people passing out in random areas of the house. On Christmas day it is a sensory overload with family, so many people and kids and catching up with family who I used to see all the time, and is now once a year.

Couple days after Christmas, I spent the day with some family I haven’t seen since college and I only saw them briefly. Once dinner was over, I went out with the young crew to the bars while my mom stayed with the older crew and drink at their bar in the house.

Now I am a big boy, spent many days and nights drinking back in college and most weekends during the summer. BUT that was beer, this night every time I blinked or turned my head there was a shot in front of me, while I was drinking a beer. One of the family members thought it would be nice to buy shots for everybody every 10 mins it seemed like. OMG OMG OMG……I remember getting in the cab then putting my dinner that I ate earlier that day in the toilet. I wake up 5am on the bathroom floor, make it to the couch. My cousin came down to check on me, I was able to moan to her, and she was able to understand my incoherent response. I haven’t felt like that since college….But I survived and ready for the New Year’s…well I think….. Anyway this is Corey Puddin Pop Montgomery signing off, have a happy new year! J
