Roughly twice a year a bunch of us head out to Palm Desert and hang out at Lon’s parents place for three days or so. What do we do for those three days? Hang out, play games, get drunk, eat the breakfast of death…basically relax and enjoy each others company. What is this breakfast of death you ask?? Well we start off with about two pounds of bacon and fry that up. Then we take the hash browns and fry that up in the bacon grease (with a slab of butter on top for taste). Next we mix chorizo sausage, mexican cheese and about 30 eggs and scramble that up. Last we whip up some chocolate chip pancakes and call it it all the breakfast of death. After we feed on all of this none of us can move for the next few hours…some sleep…some watch TV…but most just sorta lay there half dead =)
As for games…this time two new game were introduced….Three Man and The Great Dalmuti. Three Man is a dice based drinking game that will get you drunk so fast you’ll be on the floor staring at the ceiling before you know it. It’s lots of fun =) The Great Dalmuti is a card based game (that can be a drinking game but it wasn’t played that way) made back in the 90′s that won a few awards for how good the game was. Some other games we played were Bull Shit, Poker and Apples to Apples.
Soo…about this scary moment…at around 5pm I get a phone call from Victoria saying my mom is in the hospital. My first reaction is crap…first off I’m 2 hours away and second…I’m kinda drunk. Apparently my mom was feeling weak and had a fever of 104…Vic asks me if I can come out and I tell her that I’m in Palm Desert (I didn’t tell her I was a bit drunk)…she tells me that I should just stay out there and wait for the test results to come in. I agree with her and she tells me she’ll call me back as soon as the test results come in. An hour or two later I sober up and decided to hell with it and head out anyway. When I was about 40 minutes form the hospital I call my dad and he tells me that everything is okay and that she only had strep throat. They are both at home and she is resting comfortably….::sigh of relief::
