No More Adult Slip and Slide
This is a conversation I had this morning:
Nick: No more adult slip and slide.
Me: Umm yeah...I'm really sore.
Nick: I couldn't get up from the couch all day yesterday.
Me: I think I bruised my ribs.
*Slightly modified conversation because I closed it and I can't remember word for word...but close enough
OK...so I'm sure your wondering about that now ;-) Anyway, Friday night Seymen, Johnny, Jiggy, and I went to the red wings game. It was pretty fun, except the Red Wings sucked out and LOST completely. Like 5-0 or something. No maybe they got 1 run...but it was dissapointing. But we still have fun :-) Johnny even got a motercycle balloon from the clown! And I of coruse had salted peanuts, beer, hot dog, and french fries. We pigged out while singing "Take me out to the Ball Game" and yelling "CHARGEEEEEEEEEE" every 10 minutes.
After the dissapointing shut out, we hung around the park because they had a free RPO Concert! They played Seymen's favorite song (take me out to the ball game...where we all sang along) and the Indiana Jones Theme song. When he heard it playing, he almost dropped everything in his hands because he was so excited about the song ;-) After the concert, they had some really awesome fireworks. We moved up to the front seats and rested our legs against the red wings dug out and watched.

Saturday, the day started with me waking up and peering outside to see rain. I immediately jumped back into bed and pretended I didn't see it and had just dreampt the rain. No such luck. Nate called to give us the weather report. Then a few minutes later AnG called to see if we were still going. After than Jena called to give another weather report...In the end, we still dragged our lazy butts out of bed and headed down to the 10 Ugly men concert in the rain.
It actually turned out to be pretty fun. It was really slow this year in the AM due to the rain, but we happily took on our positions, shoved some hamgburgers/hot dogs in our mouths as we worked, and drank from the Free "Volunteers" Keg of beer. 3 beers later, and my shift over, a bunch of us went in search of the slip and slide. We found it...tried it, and had a GREATTTTTttt time playing on it. So great that Nick was starting things with a little girl, trying to make her race him ;-) Meanwhile Jena and I had a hard time getting started and kept sliding into each other ;-) (Maybe it's because we were holding hands?!? hehehe!!)

Anyway, after our fun with slip and slide, we walked around a bit more. I ran into an old friend from High school which was cool...Afterwards, we all reconviened at our apartment. We stopped at wegmans and bought some snacky foods. I made a batch of brachetta! And we just hung out, drank some beer and wine, did a few shots, and then hand fashion show, starring Johnny...wearing Seymen's clothes. Nick was the designer and picked out Johnny's clothes. Later we headed to Cibon for Martinis. We hung around there for 2 Bellini Martinis, and then went to Lola for Apple-Tinis (for me) and Espresso Martinis (for Nick).
Well you'd think that our night would be ending at this point...but no. It wasn't around 11:45/midnight, we headed to Ryan's for a Camp Fire party. We sat in his backyard, catching up with Katie and Colin who were in town for the weekend, drinking beers and reliving our stories from the day. We finally dragged ourselves home around 1:30AM!

Sunday was REALLY REALLY rough. Neither of us moved at all before noon. Seymen went to the gym, while I was supposed to shower and call people back and make plans. Instead, I plopped on the couch and watched a Lifetime Movie,(for the first time in like 7 months!)--Innocent Victims. The dude from Raising Helen, and Adian from Sex and City, was wrongly accused and convicted of murdering his neighbor and two of her kids. Anyway, I was hooked so I didn't get moving until 3PM. After fixing our friends computer, and then having dinner with my sister and mom, Seymen and I decided to go on a bike ride. (Yes, even though I was SOOOO sore I couldn't move!! I went...I thought it would help loosen my muscles) Well it was fun, we took a nice leiserly ride around the neighborhood. Seymen was trying to show me how to do Wheelies. I tried and tried, but I couldn't do it. Finally, when we got home, I was practicing more, and I ended cutting my hand :-((( boo hooo...
So that was our weekend! We ended it off watching My Fair Brady -- The Wedding Special and Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (LOVED IT! CRIED MY EYES OUT!!).
