Happy Birthday, America
Well, it's July 5th, but anyway. Heh.
My cousins were in from Kansas City this weekend. It was V's 20th birthday on the 3rd. Happy Birthday, V! Good to see them.
Let's see. Saturday, worked. Went to Grandma's after work to meet with the fam. The "kids" headed back to N'Ville for Ribfest. We parked at the bank, and then walked about a mile and a half to where Ribfest was being held. Paid our $5 to get in, made our way over to the food, and it started pouring. I'm talking serious rain here, folks. We turned around and left, without getting a single bite of food. The walk back was rough, as I was in flip flops. It's quite difficult to walk in a torrential downpour in flip flops. Even though we had umbrellas, we were soaked from head to toe, right down to the skin. So wet we could squeeze water out of our clothes. Got back to Grandma's, and Jess and I went with Mom and my aunt to Kohl's to purchase some dry clothes. I luckily had a second pair of capris with me, so I just bought new underwear. *laugh*
Had the birthday celebration, ate WAY too much, and headed home.
Sunday, we got a late start, and got to Grandma's about lunchtime. Ate again and went to the parade. There was a Canadian marching band in the Fourth of July parade, which I found amusing. It was a pretty decent parade, although I was disappointed in the performance of the shopping cart drill team. They didn't do nearly as complicated a routine from last year. The bagpipes were my favorite, as usual.
Ate dinner (way too much), watched some 4th of July specials, watched the Cubs/Sox game, went for a walk, ate dessert.... can we say the theme of the weekend was Eating?
So that's what I did this weekend. And today, I've been organizing things. Whee. My time is getting short! EEEP!
