Crazy, hazy, lazy days of Summer
Saturday:
Detroit Tigers v. New York Yankees! Top of the 9th, with men on 1st & 3rd, the Yankees' DH, Bernie Williams, brought it all home! I, of course, was ecstatic - Brian and Bohnsack were not! But it was nice to actually see them WIN . . . they ended up winning Sunday's game as well, 1-0.
Sunday:
We hung out with Mar and Hunter, and went to Gram and Papa's for the afternoon. Brian finally was able to finish working on their car, so we got ice cream to celebrate (lol, any excuse for ice cream). After that we hung out with some friends of ours and watched Sylvania's fireworks. Chad tried killing us all on the way home. . . . that was fun.
Monday:
Kind've a crappy day over all - I wasn't feeling well and it was hot. Brian & I hung out with Mar again in the afternoon (gotta take care of her while Daddy's gone) and then went downtown and had a cookout with Chad before the fireworks. Hanging out with Mar was good and the cookout was good, but it all went downhill after that. Chad and I were sitting right underneath the Hi-Level bridge (Brian was messing around with something in the car), just sitting there minding our own business, when suddenly we both get wet. It had looked like it was going to rain for a while, so we got kind've upset, because it was only about 45 min to the fireworks and we'd been sitting there for like 2 1/2 hours, so we didn't want to get rained out. So we're trying to clean up, and Chad comes over to me and says, "SMELL MY ARM" - not too strange a request if you know Chad. So I smelled it and was grossed out. I was like, "WHAT IS THAT" and he said, much to my MORTIFICATION - "it's PISS... SOMEBODY PISSED ON US" So yeah, turns out someone peed over the side of the bridge and it ended up getting all over us. Our hair, our shirts, our chairs. So we scrubbed down with ice (the only thing we had) and tried waiting it out ... we couldn't leave, because we were blocked in. I couldn't take the smell for very long, so I ended up going into the car, taking off my shirt and just wrapping myself in a big blanket the rest of the night. And to top it all off, the fireworks SUCKED. So needless to say, the whole evening pretty much was a big bummer. The story is funny now, but let me tell you, at the time I wanted to kill the bum that did that.
So after work yesterday, Brian surprised me with flowers and then we took Bonnie out to dinner (mmm, Texas Roadhouse!). Then we went to Target to get a few things for our trip. Then home to bed! It was nice having a long weekend, but we hardly got any sleep. I'm still worn out.
