On Saturday morning I went to my meeting. It ran 2 hours long and I was a little worried that I wouldn't make it to McDonald's for my breakfast... I made it by the skin of my teeth and enjoyed a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit and hash brown. After breakfast I sat outside and tied Jake to a tree so he could run around (but not run away), while I read a book. I felt guilty not getting outside but I had nothing else to do, so this sufficed. I had to change the oil in Kristen's car, so I headed to my mom's since she has a driveway and garage which works out perfect for DIY oil changes. What also works out perfectly is that she orders me an Imo's Pizza almost every time I go over there.. not because I can't get it where I live, that's just how she rolls. After leaving there I met up with Jimi to get some softball tosses in since the season starts this week. We hit the batting cages also and I took 140 pitches... think 'm ready to go!! I got home and Kristen and I decided to go to eat and just enjoy each other's company. We ate Chinese at Pei Wei and it was delicious!!! I can't wait to eat the leftovers tonight. After dinner we went cosmic bowling in Clayton and that was a blast. I was trying out a new spin technique that Justin taught me last time we went on Christmas Eve, so while I was working out the kinks, Kristen snuck up and beat me - mind you, neither of us broke 100... *cough*. We both improved in the second game, but to no avail for Kristen... I beat her in that one and also in our final game... sorry, babe! I did roll out back to back 160-pointers, so that's tough to beat ;).
This morning I got up and made some breakfast. I wanted to ride my bike even though it was chilly, so I decided to ride around my house. Well, my trip ended up taking me from here to Carondelet Park and then back... it was a nice 12+ mile ride. It was quite brisk, though... Came home, cranked out a blog, and now we are headed to grandma's for Easter linner (combo lunch and dinner).
Pretty great weekend, really.

Haha thanks for those celebratory shots! I ended up having too many shots apparently. After All American, we headed to Frankie's for a shot with Paula and then to Memoreze for the all you can drink deal....Horrible idea. Word has it I tried to fight Jimi for some reason but neither of us remember it. I'm surprised they still let me in that place sometimes! Its not like that place houses nothing but outstanding citizens on a nightly basis.....
ReplyDeleteSkip, glad to see you are getting better, guess we wil have to duke it out next time i am in town.
ReplyDeleteYeah, man... it all comes down to what ball i am using and how the lanes are running. Obviously i only need one game to find it though :).... I'm looking forward to our next matchup!!
ReplyDeleteumm, if i recall i won the second game too! I think we should have written down the scores...anywho, i had a blast too! too bad you aren't coming to chicago with me this weekend so i can beat you again when we go bowling for Jaimbo's bday!
