my appropriately titled post “something happened” comes from one of my many fantastic college roommates (you can stalk her here.)  she slightly harassed politely asked me to post about certain evenings of debauchery events that took place throughout the course of this past weekend.  i will refer to my roommie as “special c” and her hub as “special g” seeing as paul and i stayed at their home.  (ps- thanks again for your hospitality and abundance of hangover food.)

**********

once upon a time, special c and i lived in a house with a total of 7 (i think, somewhere i lost count) girls/women… some of us finishing our undergrad, some of us starting grad school, some of us just plain ol’ not wanting to leave our happy home that we had come to know and love.  (and yes, there was waaaaaay too much estrogen in this house.)

during the two years i lived in this house, as both a college and then graduate student, i spent many-a-night intoxicated.  those of us living in this house worked tirelessly throughout not only every semester, but through summers to accomplish the goals we had set for ourselves.  and dammit, some times (ok many times) we needed a bit of a reprieve in the form of “the wineses” (no, not just “the wines”…. but….  ”the winesES”.)

occasionally after nights that included the wineses, special c would emerge from her bedroom the following morning, slowly creep into the living room of our house (where a few of us would be laying on couches/each other with bags of devoured food from krystal) and say the following… “something happened.”  she would then proceed to the bathroom in search of tylenol.

all of us would bust into uncontrollable (yet painful due to our hangover) laughter and nod our heads in agreement.  and thus came the birth of the post-drunk night phrase “something happened.”

**********

lots of “somethings happened” over the last 3-4 days…  aside from hosting this amazing madness, with this amazing woman, i traveled yet again.

paul and i had a wedding to attend in birmingham for another one of my college roommates.  you will find her in all her spectacular wedding glory below…

we left early friday morning, after i had kicked off Blogher@Home thursday evening with a BANG, resulting in a really lousy hangover, which made for not so fun early morning travels.  my mom met paul, the magoo, and i in the atlanta airport where the magoo was transfered to said grammy, and paul and i took a car and drove to birmingham.

i slept off my hangover the entire 2 and a half hours in preparation for the rehearsal dinner we attended friday evening.  friends of mine have more appropriate pics from the rehearsal dinner than i do, so i will refrain from posting mine and wait until they have emailed me theirs to share with you all.  (sorry to disappoint.)

saturday morning, i was lucky enough to join the bride and maids in a candid photo shoot as she dressed, stressed, and prepared herself for her wedding day…

i guess it should be noted here that i chose not to take photos of the actual ceremony.  the sanctuary was so beautiful, the ceremony was so personal…  it just didn’t feel right for me to photograph that.  so…  on to the reception, which was held at a magnificent (but friggin hot) art gallery that refused to turn their ceiling fans on, so brace yourself for some sweaty photos…

some peeps and me (rockin out the boob-ige... yikes!)

(umm… ok, so apparently my bewbies decided to start peeling from the cruise i had been on the previous week.  dumb ass me decided to “cover up” said peel with tanning lotion.  so please don’t think i have some strange skin disease…  i just suffered from momentary dipshitness.)

wedding cake (which was entirely devoured)
