New Toys and Fun Weekend

I know, shocker that I am updating my blog and it’s only been a week! I have a few minutes before heading to a dinner, so I thought I would share my fun weekend stories. Before I do that I wanted to give a shout out to all you Mothers out there. Thanks for your endless selfless service! Have a very HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

I had Friday off work since I worked 4- 10 hour days this week. It makes for long days, but I definitely enjoy my day off! This week it worked out that I since I had Friday off I was able to attend Brandon’s Graduation Luncheon. It was held at Cinzzetti’s which is an Italian buffet. It was pretty tasty and the company was great. I gave Brandon a pin that says “Me, Meeee, Meee Meee!” since it was his day. Congratulations Brandon that is quite the accomplishment!

I recently purchased a new table and was on a quest to find chairs. So, Friday afternoon after the luncheon Katie and I (along with the boys) went out chair shopping. It was a fun afternoon, I wasn't sucessful, but it was still fun. Friday evening wrapped up with Brandon’s graduation bowling party. I didn’t get a strike all evening, it was very sad. I still did okay though with scores of 125 and 121. I had a good time hanging with the Showell Clan.

So, Friday morning, my table got delivered… or was supposed to be delivered. They came, the delivered a table, but it wasn’t the correct one! So, I had to go back to the store and point out the table they delivered and the table I wanted delivered. They asked when I wanted it to which I replied, “I was expecting it today.” Friday was already booked and they were unable to fit another delivery in that day. So, they asked how early they could come on Saturday. I told them any time after 6:00am. They said they would get it to me by 7:00am Saturday morning… they were here at 6:35am! So, the good news is I now have a table!!! YEAH!!! I don’t have any chairs yet, but I’m working on that.

The WRONG table- its nice, but not what I bought! My New Table -the CORRECT one

Saturday morning a bike shope was having a big bike expo, so I went. Yep, I came home with a new bike and a helmet! Now that I have a vehicle that can transport a bike, it make is much more convenient to own a bike. I’m excited. It will be fun to go riding and enjoy the beautiful Colorado days while staying in shape!

Saturday evening was filled with mini-golf and a fun party. I did good mini-golfing… I got 3 hole-in-ones! One of those was because my friend’s ball hit mine in, but hey I’ll take it! :^) I got a score of 43 on an 18 hole course- Not too shabby!

The Other Group

After we had a our fun golfing we came to my place to party. There was a good group that came… about 15 people in all. I learned a new game… “4 people on a couch”. Pretty exciting title, I know. Anyway, it is easy enough to understand, but quite a challenging game.

All in all it was a fun evening. We also played catch phrase, wii, ate food, and visited. I don’t think it gets any better than that. I’m assuming everyone had a good time since people stayed until 12:30am!

Now I’m off to enjoy dinner with friends. Have a fabulous week everyone!

Let's see...what else was I going to comment on...nice new table.

Oh, yeah, the bike. Fun! Again, I like the idea of a bike but I'd much rather ride a horse.
