Well Well

This weekend was full of rowdiness.  After work on Friday, we went to Tyler.  When we got to Tyler (around 10-ish) and hung out with Chief and April and Ben all night.  We ended up at this house party where Chief was being chased around by a rather aggressive girl.  To make it all the funnier, April kept encouraging said girl to pursue Chief even harder, even though Chief was basically running from her all night.  It was the funniest thing I have witnessed in a long time.

The class reunion was pretty fun.  It was good to see all the people I haven’t talked to in a long time.  I’ll definitely go to the next one.  One highlight was that Casey Collier was voted (back in 1998) as “Most likely to change the most” and “Most likely to still live at home.”  I suppose that is only funny if you know him.

One group of people dressed up in wigs and crazy clothes for the union (Mr. Cool, Yancy, some other people).  They were apparently completely drunk before it even started.  I don’t think the reaction they received is the one that they were looking for.  Most people kind of just looked at them in pity, thinking along the lines of “how insecure do you have to be to do that?”  I guess they rolled the dice on that one — it was either going to be really funny, or really awkward…and I don’t think I heard anyone laughing.

April makes the best sandwiches ever….and congratulations to Sarah on getting engaged!

What a fantastic weekend.  Not much of anything happened.  On Saturday, Kimmie fooled me into going to town by saying we could go watch a movie.  We ate at Red Robbins (YUMMMMM), and then went ski clothes shopping.  We didn’t actually get any ski clothes though, because it seems like they were ridiculously expensive.  When I think of buying a ski bib, I think of $50-$100.  These were going for $150.  When I think of a ski jacket, I think of $200-$400.  On these, they were close with $500.  So on that front, I think we are going to wait until a little closer to winter, when maybe some of these other athletic shops will changes from summer sports to winter sports gear.

After the eating and the shopping though, Kim dropped the hammer on her manipulative plan…and said she wanted me to take her home and that I could go watch a movie by myself.  She’s a clever one…

But I went and saw “Traitor.”  It was pretty good.  I’d give it a 4 our of 5.  Maybe 3.75, but more than likely 4.  I wanted to see the “Burn after Reading” movie, but after Kim’s Tom Foolery, I didn’t get a chance too.

We went to Grapefest last night with Kim’s crew.  It was rather uneventful…but Kim did get smashed which is always entertaining.  The only real thing to report is a stupid little joke I said and thought was really funny, and to feed my ego I am going to retell it here.

We were walking out of the place, and a Home Depot guy comes up to us with a bucket and say “Would you like to draw for a prize?” (He probably said what the prize was…I don’t remember).  I said “Oh no thanks, I’m not much of an artist.”

**UPDATE**

I forgot to mention that we bought our first real piece of artwork.  You can go here and see them.  In the top section, scroll (put your mouse on the picture at the far edge) and find the painting that are 4 separate paintings that each have a tree on them.  The painting is called “Four Seasons.”

This weekend I think we officially start Festival Season.  We should be going to the Grapevine Festival on Saturday.  That festival is always like a warmup for the Oktoberfest in Addison.  Don’t worry, I’ll start sending out invites for it.

Anyone that wants to come, just let me know.

Happy 8/8/8 everyone!

This weekend is a stay at home weekend for me.  Kim is going to pick up her cousin, Jesse, from Houston.  Then I have been told that there is some sort of family dinner going on.  I guess on Sunday we will be painting the other three walls of the study.  I should get Jesse to come over and help with that as payment for staying at my crib next weekend.

Painting really isn’t so bad when Kim is helping…she does all the crap work (like painting with the small brush.  I just get to roll everything on.  I still hate painting.

I am hoping it will be a rather uneventful weekend.
