A Great Weekend Deserves a Great Thank-You Card

First, let's make fun of men.
I was invited to a fancy dinner called Winter Fest because my friend's girlfriend was unable to go. 
I inquired as to what kind of dress I should get because "fancy" can mean so many things.

Me: So what kind of fancy, like prom-dress fancy?
C: Yeeeeaaaah... sorta
Me: like an evening gown?
C: You mean like lingerie? No, put the girls away.
Me: that's not what an evening gown is. Is it Black Tie?
C: No, you can wear any color you want.
Me: You're so not helping.

Second, let me tell you about the dinner.
It was one of the best times I've ever had. I met this awesome older lady, Sabine, and she was hilarious and wonderful. She & her husband are originally from France. I complimented her on her ring, and she says, "That's 3.5 karats of pure diamond right there! You know in France, it is customary for the in-laws to buy the ring." I told her that was a really neat tradition, and she replies with, "Yeah, AND you get a bigger ring that way!!"
A woman after my own heart ♥
The dinner was AMAZING [prime rib!] and drinking happens, and the waitress (who was otherwise excellent) seriously slacks in removing my empties. Seriously. At one point in the night, I had 6 glasses in front of me, and only one was water. And of course, Mrs. M noticed & made fun. I explained my predicament, everyone had just as many drinks as I had, but it was the waitress's fault! They continued to make fun.
(Sabine only drinks wine, and prefers red to white. She has two glasses of red wine every day, one with lunch and one with dinner.)

We were also treated to a glorious sunset:



Third, let me [finally] tell you about the card.
So, again, if you're my Facebook friend, you've probably already seen the cheeseburger card I sent the M family after treating me so well during Caseville's Cheeseburger fest. If you haven't, here it is:
So I had big shoes to fill

It took me awhile to think of a card that could be just as good, if not better. I realized I couldn't make one funnier. So here's what I did:

These are the 6 things the 4 of us drank in an accordion-fold card.






Last, I'll compare my roommate, Fancy, to a toddler.

Me: Look at this Thank-you I made for the M family
Fancy: I WANT ONE!!!!

So, by request:




Thanks for reading :)
