Not really sure where I left off but what I do know is that HELL YEAH my laptop is finally connecting with the wireless network in this house!!!
SO Thursday was spent hanging out in the office of brandon (after experiencing THE MALL in my hometown - which still sucks, but is yet still the only mall in this booming town???) bothering him and taking the world's best office tour. Then onto The Posh Grocery Store in town with him and the Mr. where I proceeded to be my obnoxious usual grocery shopping self (yes it DOES take at least an hour to buy 10 ingredients). Then we hung out at his place cooking chilli.
Friday = drive to KC, do some fambly stuff that night, stay in b&b with the rents
Saturday = more fambly stuff with the g'parents/cousins, then dinner out with brandon & his posse who were all very cool and easy to get along with. Followed by trip to the (loud horrible sterile) irish pub with the cousins.
Sunday = insanely frigid trip to Mecca (the stadium) inclusive of tailgating in 2 degree weather (that's like minus 40 in metric) with B., the Mr., the bwudda, his new gf, and 3 of B's friends. It was so cold I can't even describe it. Feet = falling off. Exposed skin = frostbitten. Snot = frozen.
I dont even know what else to say about that except for that it was awesome due to the fact this was like my life-long dream. And of course my team failed me but hey, it was once in a lifetime.
Monday = awesome day. Did everything in the world. Literally. Did EVERYTHing there is to do in the WORLD. Woke up, said good bye to cousins/g'parents/etc. B picked us up and we drove to the Harley-Davidson museum. Took an excellent tour. Drove to Famous Dave's BBQ. Ate. Shopped at Cabelas. Spent good quality bonding time in the car bugging the CRAP out of b. all up and down the interstate for a couple hours solid. Got dropped off in the COU to be met by Johnny who then promptly shuffled us off to the hometown, his 5-yr old in tow. Catch-up-on-the-last-10-years-time in the car. Get to the winery back home, meet up with the Mer. 2 hours of catch up with her and Johnny until 5-y.o. hits expiery date. J&kid head back home to the COU. The Mer & us continue. Listening to band of old buddy Dave at the winery at the same time. Major multi-tasking going on here.... "hi dave!" between sets "so where did we last leave off.... '97?" with Mer. "baby are you doing ok?" to the Mr. Finally Brandon makes it in. The gig is over. We migrate across town to the pub. More catching up. Less multi-tasking (thanks to B who gets quality bonding time with the Mr.), no drinking. Sick. cant swallow. Leave.
Tuesday = that's today. Wake up. Run over to the BFFs house to say hi and welcome back into town. Run home before the mominator knows we're gone. Aunt/Uncle rock up at 11. Big fambly feast all day. 6pm they leave. I run errands. Swing by T&S's house to pick up present. Awesome present. Huge thing for the office to hang on the wall. Our logo involved. Hard to explain. Swing by Mike "hi! howzit! I'm sick! gotta go!" Wal-mart. Last presents. home. gotta rip cds. gotta install new ipod thingy in the running shoes. Bwudda man sick as a dog, puking in the front yard. (not drunk - just sick) like me. like the Mr. we's all damn sick. late. DOH! lunch tomorrow in the COU - gotta call about 10 people. Cant! it's frickin midnight! DOH! holy poop! and the thingy isnt in the shoes yet and i gotta do the treadmill in the morning and.... oh jeez here comes the Mr. and it's gonna be bedtime.
