It's been a few days since I've been on here, so I'll just give you a quick run down of what's been going on. A few of us went out on Friday after work. There were a couple of ex employees that met up, too. I really, really liked them. One was just visiting from Nebraska for the weekend, though. The other gal, Laura lives in town, though. Her and I seemed to click immediately. I'm really attracted to people that inspire me. Instantly she reminded me of you guys: the "type" of friends I choose to surround myself. Anyway, I think her and I are going to be friends. Pretty cool. As you know, I don't have a lot of friends out here. After everyone else left, we headed out to my neck of the woods for some karaoke. I haven't been around karaoke in IL at all, so I was thrilled. Laura sang some songs, including: Cashmere. I love that. Takes balls. And as you know...if I sing, it means I'm drunk. Which I was....drank way too much like a huge tool. At least there was nobody there to hear us. It was literally us, the bartender and the d.j. Anyway, it's become pretty evident that I still can't find the middle ground with drinking. It's yet another thing that I seem to be all or nothing when it comes to it.
Sat. was totally busy. Ryne had a baseball game in Walnut. They lost in a heartbreaker... They were a much better team, but they just made lots of mental errors. Ryne had his first "home run" of the season, to tie it at one point. It was actually a double followed by errors, but at this age the kids believe they are homers. Ryne's a pretty good hitter, but they never adjusted the batting order from the first game, and he was hitting down low. This meant he only got to hit once a game. What a bummer. At least he had a good time playing. He won't get to finish up the season tonight, though. Football practice starts tonight, at the same time they have their game an hour and 15 mins from here. Anyway, after the game we took the boys for ice cream and then swimming. We got home kind of late, and Brian and I were beat. We just laid in bed and he watched The Kardashian's with me. Those are the best kind of days.
Yesterday was the big "Nascar" day. I'd gotten free tix from work, so we took the boys to Chicago to see the race. Caleb is beyond obsessed with racing. He loves Danica, like no other. For the most part it was a good day. Getting there was not a lot of fun, and our attempt at "tailgating" was a disaster. Ryne was not on great behavior. Brian was already stressed about the day, so that wasn't the greatest combo. haha.... Well, this is where I quit typing yesterday. Brian and I did not have the best night, but it wasn't the worst, either. With 20 years together, I guess you'll have those things.
