Guatemala!

Last night, my girlfriends and I went out for a few drinks in my hometown. Of course a few drinks turned into a few too many drinks and it all started when some guy offered to buy those few too many drinks for us. This some guy is named Luis and I still do not know what his friend's name is even after he said it multiple times. Luis and his strange friend came over to our table and threw down a $20 bill. He smiled and said that the money was for us "muy Bonita ladies.". We thankfully accepted the money and made Luis use it to buy us shots and drinks. Fortunately in my hometown $20 is enough to buy 4 ladies and 2 guys shots and beer and still have enough left over for a few rum and cokes.

After the shots we decided that it would be a great idea to scream the word Guatemala! at the top of our lungs. Luis was from Guatemala and absolutely loved this and continued to chant with us after every cheers and sip of our beers. Needless to say, Tiffany, Maggie, Audra, and Lisa (of course we played the fake name game) were quite drunk by our 7 millionth chant and we were ready to leave Luis and his creepy friend. Thankfully the other guy friends that we were with at the bar decided to play along and call us by our fake names. Unfortunately in the rush to leave the bar, it's always better to rush out if you have made a complete ass of yourself, we all forgot each others fake names. Here are a few things I learned last night that hopefully you all find to be useful when you decide to get drunk with girlfriends and Guatemalans.

1) Don't forget your fake name. You don't look credible when you dont answer to your name.

2) Don't make your name too hard for everyone to remember (ahem, Audra). Stick with Jane or Suzie, it's just easier that way.

3) Whenever you are presented with the opportunity to have a drink on someone elses tab, take that opportunity.

4). When the guy that is buying you drinks suddenly gets creepier than you remember them to be, this is your moment of clarity. You only have a five minute window to realize that you shouldn't accept more free drinks an you should start talking to a new guy.

5). Screaming Guatemala! at the top of your lungs feels great. Try it sometime. Preferrably by yourself so you don't annoy everyone else in the bar.

6). Throw in a fist pump with your chant. It makes it more powerful and, yes, even more fun.

7). Hitting signs with beer bottles is a hilarious game. Sorry for littering and not recycling.

8). Laughing with your girlfriends is always a great idea, no matter what stupid ideas you have while you are all together.

Loves to my ladies! Thanks for a great weekend. GUATEMALA!!!
