Pick up the spare
And here it is, Monday again. At least it'll be a short work week with the holiday.
My "birthday weekend" turned out to be quite nice. I took Thursday (my actual b-day) off work to relax and do a little last-minute studying for my Econ final exam. I also stopped by Best Buy and picked up the second Harry Potter movie on DVD (I have the other two already) as well as Carrie Underwood's debut CD. :) The Econ exam went okay; I had a couple of those oh-crap-I-forgot-everything-about-this-topic moments but I managed to get something written down eventually. :P On Friday night, I went to a Lioness Club bowling fundraiser w/my parents. Let's just say that I am glad that the funds being raised were not dependent on the bowling scores! In three games I bowled a 48, a 68, and a 78. Maybe if we played another game I would have broken 90, LOL. Also I fell down two or three times (thankfully none of this was captured on film). Anyway, I had a good time despite my horrific bowling performance.
My best pal Mark G treated me to dinner on Saturday (we went to Artopolis in Greektown), then we went to Jaclyn's b-day bash at John Barleycorn up in Lincoln Park. Jaclyn was surprised (hopefully pleasantly, hee) to see us, since we're kind of "old farts" compared to the majority of her friends (she just turned 23). Rhoda and her posse stopped by also, as did Vince. Rhoda, Jaclyn, Mark and I did a shot together, which I found out later was a "Jager Bomb" (jagermeister in Red Bull). It was actually not too bad. :) Thanks for the invite, Jaclyn, I don't really get out to the bars much so it was fun! Finally, yesterday I went to church and lunch w/my family as per usual. I got a nice J.Crew sweater from my parents. While lunching at Quizno's my dad kindly pointed out that I had a few gray hairs on the back of my head. Gee thanks! :P
I can't believe it's already Thanksgiving week. Lori comes home from IU tomorrow. I *think* we are having TG lunch/dinner at Jon and family's house, but I'm not sure about that yet. Then Sunday is Olivia's baptism. I can't wait to "officially" become one of her godparents!
