Guess what time I went to bed on Saturday. Go ahead, guess. Would it help any if I gave you a hint? Ok, here you go. I actually didn't go to bed on Saturday - technically it was Sunday. Guesses? Anyone, anyone, Bueller? If you said 4:00 am, you would be correct. 4:00 effing a.m. Who the hell do I think I am? The last time I was up at 4:00 a.m., I asked the same question. Who the hell do I think I am? Seriously. I clearly don't think that I'm an overweight, damn near forty year old. If I'm not saving the world from the injustice of little bastards toilet papering the planet, then I'm partying like a rock star with my BFF and the rest of my homies. I should consider acting my age, shouldn't I? Don't answer that.
On Saturday night, my BFF, Martha Stewart threw a surprise birthday party for Mach One. Actually it wasn't Martha Stewart, it was Jenni in the Hood. But Martha Stewart's got nothing on Jenni, believe you me. Except for a criminal record and a girlfriend in prison. But other than that, Jenni and Martha could be twins. Did you know that Martha has a foul mouthed daughter who spends obscene amounts of money each month trying to get knocked up? With no sign of a husband in sight? No shit, I saw her on Oprah. But back to the party. So my BFF decides that she's going to surprise my perfect husband with a party for his 40th birthday. Remember, he turned 40 three days after his colon was tucked back into his abdominal cavity where it properly belongs? Jenni decided that after all Mach One's guts were tucked away safely, it was time to celebrate. Actually celebrate is an understatement - we partied like rock stars. Middle aged, overweight, rockstars. It was like a Van Halen reunion. Let's pretend you were there, ok?
Let me introduce you to all of our hot ass husbands. Mach One, you know. He's mine so keep your mitts off or I'll have to kick your ass - just sayin'. Next to him is The Judge. He really is a judge. So if I ever get my fat ass into trouble, I know who to call. And I just happen to be his second favorite Jill. And I'm only second because his wife is his first. I'd be the first if his wife was named LuluBelle but she's not. So whatev. Then there's Rocky - he sleeps with Yo. And everyones favorite poker star, Pocket Aces - he's Jenni's bedfellow. And last, but certainly never least, is Carmine Ragusa. The Big Ragu - with an emphasis on BIG. George, Brad, Matt and those other Ocean's 11 dudes have nothing on our guys. Except a lot more money but who's counting?
Behind every hot looking dude is a beautifully thin, exceptionally brilliant sex kitten of a wife. Did I mention thin? Super thin. Damn near anorexic thin. You got the point - we're all thin. At least we think we're all thin and we try to convince our stud muffin husbands of the same. I think we've got them convinced. Either that or they're terrified of a life of celibacy. Whatever works - just sayin'. Here are my homies: The first favorite Jill, Yo!, Jenni in the Hood, JillyD and Trixe' Shorte'. Here's a question for you - why the hell am I so tall? Never mind fat but for God sake I'm like a freaking Amazon queen compared to these shrimpettes. Maybe I should be a model? For Omar's tent shop, maybe...
Here's my birthday boy. *Sigh* - he's perfect.
Have I mentioned that I'm not very mature? It's very hard to believe, I know. This blog just oozes maturity. Jenni likes to pretend that we're mature and all. Look at the table she set. It's like a grown up table. Set with 84 different forks and real napkins and no crayons. And little decorative pumpkins with our names on them so that we knew where to sit. This was especially helpful after I polished off my 4th margarita. At least I still knew what my name was, dammit. Give me some credit for that. I'm a rock star, remember?
Speaking of margaritas, look at the trough that I was drinking out of all night long. It was so much more than a glass. I'm pretty sure that Jenni bathed her newborns in it. That glass allowed me to polish off a gallon of margaritas all by myself. That's because the other lushes in attendance were mature and all, sipping on red wine. JillyD hates the wine but loves the margaritas. Again, that should come as a surprise to you. I drank a gallon and the other alcoholics polished off 10 bottles of wine. I think we all may become friends of Bill W's in the not too distant future. Hello, my name is JillyD...
The meal. The meal was like a sexual experience and I'm not kidding. I'll just say it. It was orgasm inducing. There, I said it. It started out with the squash soup with a reduced sour cream cider added sauce stuff. I don't know what the hell it was but it was to die for. Never in my damn near 40 years on the planet would I think that I'd like squash soup. It sounds a little gross, doesn't it? But it took every ounce of self control that I had to not lick the inside of the bowl. I started to and then Mach One shot me the look and I wiped the overflow from my chin and set the bowl down and hung my head in shame. He's so proper, that Mach One.
Next up - the salad. The salad had glazed apples that were out of this freaking world. I kept trying to distract Mach One by flashing my boobs at him so that I could snag his apples. That sounds a little sexual, doesn't it? Snagging his apples. Sadly enough, my boobs were no competition for the apples. He didn't fall for it. My boobs were outdone by Jenni's salad - just sayin'.
A party is only as good as the host. And in this case, the host was doubling as the chef and a miner or a gynecologist. We're not sure which but all of us gals crossed our legs at the ankles every time Pocket Aces mosied into our personal space. Apparently Pocket Aces uses this contraption when he's out blasting the shit out of Bambi. He tried to do that yesterday and as luck would have it, the planets aligned and Pocekt Aces forgot his headlamp during his hunting trip. So Bambi made it out alive - if only for one more day. Run, Bambi, Run.
Have I mentioned that I'm an anomoly? I might have once or twice. While I root for Bambi to escape the clutches of Pocket Aces, I clearly have no issue with old Bessie's ass making her way onto my plate. In the form of beef tenderloin. Which is an excellent segue into our main course. That would be beef tenderloin with fresh green beans almondine and a twice baked potato. Sheer perfection...
I'll wait while you dab the drool from your chin. Ok - are we all set? Good deal. The tenderloin was complemented by something called "zip" sauce. Jenni wouldn't share the recipe because she said she would have to kill us all if she did. And that would have been a lot of corpses to dispose of - just sayin'. I don't know what the hell was in this stuff but I wanted to submerge by entire body into the gravy boat. If I find the recipe, I'll be wearing it as perfume from this day forward. For better, for worse. For richer, for poorer. I think I'm planning on marrying the zip sauce. Mach One won't mind - he's willing to pimp me out to the zip sauce as long as he gets to indulge himself. The zip sauce was that effing incredible.
Just when we were certain that we had died and all of us had actually escaped the burning fires of hell - big surprise there - dessert showed up. In the form of a layered, trifle thing that has been dubbed "Better Than Sex." I've had sex - and I've had this dessert. If I could have this dessert while having sex my life would be complete. Actually, if I could have this dessert while curled up on the couch watching Grey's Anatomy, my life would be even more complete. It may even be more complete then the sex thing - but don't tell Mach One, k?
So there you have it, the best meal that I've ever consumed. And I didn't get this chubby by not eating - just sayin'. After we managed the roll ourselve out of the dining room, the fun really kicked into high gear....
Part II of Party Like a Rock Star will continue tomorrow. Hot tubs and hooters are on the agenda. Be here or be square.
