Hiking!

Today, Jess, Tara, Heather, and I went on a 5.3 mile hike on the Lewis or Clark Trail. I say Lewis or Clark because there are two trails...one of which is 8.3 miles and the other that is 5.3. We went on the shorter, but I have no idea which one it was.

At any rate, it was beautiful!


My hiking buddies...And a nerdy shot of me :)

Tara stretches the hammies while Franklin observes. Ooooh exercise!

We consulted the map...but I still had no idea where we were. Maybe they did.

The Green Seats

On Saturday, David's parents treated us to the GREEN SEATS at Busch Stadium.

As per usual, it was glorious. The soon-to-be in-laws :)

Excited to see Pujols so close in person, I decided to give him a little love...

With me, it's class all the way :)

Mike showing how close we were to the dugout.

In the hallway, between the free bar/buffet and the field, they have a nice wall o' logos...

...where Fred Bird the Red Bird occasionally passes through.

And, because you all wanted it, here are the required pictures of David and I looking like tools

New Furniture

David and I received the last of our furniture buying spree on Tuesday...delivered without a hitch (and for free!) by Carrol House. You know, because we like nice things.


Welcome to our new dining table and "by the door" table. Yay!

Darce-A-Thon 2009

In late June, I got together with some friends in KC for an event Cari and Annie dubbed "Darce-A-Thon 2009." It was awesome, and I got to see some girls that I see too seldom!

Cari and Annie, the hosts...

We opened some sassy gifts...all while enjoying some fried food and beers.
I was given a list of challenges to complete throughout the night...

1. Find a guy named David at Tom Fooleries...

No pictures, but here are the celebration shots when I found the guy.

2. Get a guy to buy you a blow-job shot at the bar of your choice...

I didn't even have to ask...this guy sent the shot to my table!

3. Find a guy to either play a song of your choice on the jukebox and dance with you or just get a guy to dance with you at a bar...

I conned a guy into singing and dancing with me!

4. Ask a wedding planner or a guy with a tattoo if he wants to take a celebration shot...

5. Ask a guy to give you his underwear. Bonus points if he actually does it. Triple bonus if he has tighty whities...

I couldn't get anyone to give up there underpants, but a table of three guys assured me that they ALL went commando and then gave me their shirt.

There's Annie checking the shirt label to prove that it belonged to a guy...

6. Find a guy to give you a condom (unused)...

These underpants had a cute pocket in them that I used when begging for a condom. It was a much harder task than I had anticipated!

7. Find a lawyer...

We looked up the lawyer guy's firm on someone's phone to see if he was lying.

8. Prank call bachelor party room at Embassy Suits every 20 minutes...

Here's the bachelor party we bonded with...

And here's me calling their hotel room to leave silly messages...

ALL CHALLENGES ACCOMPLISHED!!!!
It was a fantastic evening...

"Hey Darcie, put this lettuce on your head. Beautiful!"
