A couple weekends ago I started my morning bright and early with my Caramel Macchiato in hand and a Starbucks pastry to an invigorating private game of paintball with coworkers and friends. The drive up to Leesburg, VA was slightly uncomfortable, why do you ask? Well, I can explain...
See, when you go paintballing you must prepare for the hits (aka battlewounds) you will take for your team! So, for bottoms, I wore a pair of leggings, jeans, and work slacks (that are 4 sizes too large, hence why they fit over jeans and leggings). For my top I should've been more creative, I wore 3 black long sleeve cotton shirts and 1 short sleeve pink shirt (in between the black ones so I'm not running around in pink, that makes me an easy target!). I wore some old Nike sneakers and I regret not taking a bottle of water or my phone to take pictures! I suppose it was a good idea I didn't carry around anything extra, the paintball gun alone made my right arm sore for days from carrying it!
As you'll see below, I should've worn layers! But don't you dare think I took a full body shot!
Here you'll find tons of shots that I took (without really looking, I took blind shots) driving to Leesburg, VA. It was a beautiful ride up (a full hour of driving). Enjoy!
I thought this was a funny shot b/c you can see my caramel macchiato in the reflection!
Ever been to Front Royal, VA??
Excuse the ashieness (sp) and dirty nails, I don't know what got on my nail polish b/c I wasn't able to take it off my nails for days!
and for some weird reason I have a tanned torso....but the rest of me aint! grr
So here's the shot so many of my friends have asked me to post, haha. Sadly this became much larger and swollen for the next 3 days. (This is above my left hip)
I had many more bruises, none as big as this one though. Now I have a weird scratchy circle in the shape of the paintball =/
I left paintball a couple hours early (I played from 10 am-3 pm), I couldn't take the pain any longer! The shot was taken from a few feet away from me and it hurt like a mutha!!!!!! By 2 pm my bladder was full from a coke and an entire bottle of water (and there were no outhouse's around...AND it's kinda hard to make abrupt fast moves with abdominal pain (plus I was cramping...BAD place to get hit, Janine!), I decided hiding behind a rock was worthless, so I decided to just go home (but I didn't, haha!).
I ended up going to the Leesburg Premium Outlets to check out the CCO & Movado store to find a disco watch for the hubby, I walked out of the outlets, EMPTY HANDED! Yes, either I was in a bad mood or there really wasn't anything that called my name at the CCO and the Movado outlet didn't have the watch my hubby wants :(.
Check out where I parked my car for paintball, next to cows!
Now THIS is what cows are supposed to eat, GRASS, who wudda thunk it!!! It's genius!! Cows nowadays eat CORN, and we wonder why we're so fat in the US...I digress!
I got home and went out to do errands with the hubby, he wanted to buy a new blazer & black button down shirt, we ended up at like 5 stores and found exactly what he wanted. I got home exhausted, sweaty, kinda jealous the hubs found stuff shopping and I didn't, haha. I was invited to Tom Tom's in Adams Morgan and Jojo's (Josephine's)/Park. I chose Jojo's and Park b/c I personally like them better than Adam's Morgan (in DC). If you wanna go to Adam's Morgan, take a cab, don't spend 45 min finding parking and walking 25 minutes to get to Adam's Morgan from where you parked! Well, I had 30 minutes to shower and leave the house to car pool with the gals, did you hear me, I said 30 minutes!! It was quite the struggle, I couldn't make abrupt moves to get ready, haha, I had to move like a snail. So forgive my lack of appearance, regardless, I had a blast & hope to go to a salsa night with a few gals from the group! I really can't wait, maybe this weekend we'll go to Tuscana on Friday night, we shall see!
Here are the shots from that night @ Josephine's!

So wait, when did I grow a butt?!?!?!!?! It's not here anymore! I guess it's my "Cinderella booty", haha, gone at midnight, ROFL!
Umm and yes, I did photoshop this pic, I was looking so freakin pale, trust me, I AM sparing you!
Nuff said!!! I was in the back seat hiding from the pic!
The guy on the right was so enthusiastic about his dancing, it was pretty cool, he was an entertainer!....do you see the guy in the background?!
Once again I had almost nothing to drink, I had two small shooters and never felt a thing, haha.
oh yeah, remember I said we were going to Park? Well, we went there first and it was pretty empty, so we went to Jojo's and decided on coming back to Park. Well now, we went back to Park and the Cops were telling Park they could only let people in as they were leaving, they were at capacity, we were not willing to wait, so we left! Oh well, next time.
So ladies, who has played paintball, gone to the Leesburg Premium Outlets, gone to Josephine's, Park Nightclub??? Do tell ladies!
I've been listening to Toni Braxton all night whilst sitting in 90 degrees (no AC until May 1st) so you get to hear one of my favorite Toni jams!
