Weekend at Anna's

Friday I only worked a half day. Came home to take a nap on the couch and then head to Lansing w/ Sarah. At Danielle's we ordered pizza and watched Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I had never seen it; I thought it was pretty sad. After reading an old Us magazine, I went to bed around 12:30. We got up at 6:30 Saturday morning to get to the tailgate early. As Sarah mentioned, we made pancakes, eggs and english muffins. I was drinking, but actually never really got drunk. The game was boring. I have a feeling it's going to be another one of those bad seasons, but we'll still be there at every game. Heck, the tailgating is so much fun! After the game, I took a 5-10 minute nap in the car while hey made hot dogs. That was enough to rejuvenate me for the rest of the night. I left Lansing at 5:00 to drive to Buffalo and arrived at Anna's about 10:30. The drive was horrible. It was dark and raining the whole way, and they don't have light on the 403 so I was afraid I was going to drive off the road. Then on the QEW, the winds were very gusty. I'm glad I made it! At Anna's, I had a drink and showered while Anna, Jacque and Sandra went to pick up dinner. We got ready after eating and headed to the bar around 12:30. The bars were not very crowded because of the rain, but we still had fun. Anna made out with 2 guys and got really drunk. When I saw her on the floor around 3:00. I knew it was time to go home. I gave my number reluctantly to a 20-year-old, ex-marine who was very short. He was very cute and very nice, but only 20 and very short. Apparently he was medically discharged, but I did not ask for details. He did make a comment about not hearing well due to explosions. Yikes! Anyway, we got home and in bad around 4:00. So, I had been up for 21.5 hours. I was impressed since I haven't done that since high school!! On Sunday we went to Denny's for breakfast then headed to Niagara Falls. We walked around a little and then Jacque and Sandra had to leave. Anna and I went to the grocery store. For dinner we made awesome steak and chicken kabobs, potato packets and green beans. We also made chocolate covered pretzels and strawberries for dessert. We watched the movie, Clue, and went to bed. I agree with the guy from the tailgate...I can't go out two nights in a row anymore. I'm perfectly happy sitting on the couch watching a movie and going to bed early...gosh, I'm old! :) On Monday, we made breakfast and went to the movies. We saw Little Miss Sunshine. It was good, but sad - I need to see a comedy to make up for these sad movies I've seen this weekend... I left Anna's at 2:30. The drive was very easy, until I got to the Bluewater Bridge. I waited there for 2.5 hours to get over to the U.S. What made me mad was that I waited 2.5 hours and when I got to the booth, she asked me two questions and I was on my way. 2.5 hour wait for a 20 second conversation - it doesn't get more annoying than that! I got home just before 9:00 last night. Louie was so happy when I came home. He's such a little baby boy. I love him to pieces.

Today I am working from home. I was feeling better, but woke up with a headache. So, I stayed here. I think I'm going to do some laundry now.

p.s. - I am very sad that Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, died. I feel sad for his wife and two small children. In case you haven't seen one of the hundreds of articles online: http://news.yahoo.com/fc/entertainment/steve_irwin
