Random Weekend Crap 'N Stuff

I took a vacation day on Friday, to head South again.  Kevin's mom bought us tickets to see Ron White on Friday night, and we were ready to laugh.  The drive sucks, big time, but we took it easy and got there around 12:30.

We stopped and ate at Subway before heading to the Buffalo Run casino in Miami, OK for the show.  Yeah, I love Subway, and I'm still being "good" when possible.  I've lost 8 lbs so far.  Not a ton, but moving in the right direction.

The show was great.  Even the opening act was really good.  Here is a math fact for you: 1 Friday night + 1 Indian casino + 1 Ron White show = Many Many Drunks.  There were 3 drunks within arms reach of us, but Ron put them in their place, more than once.  It was awesome.

For example, at one point a drunk stood up and yelled "Git 'Er Done!"  Ron said, "Wrong comic, but thanks."  Everyone died laughing.  The same guy, later, yelled "Tator Salad!"  Ron said, "I don't do that bit anymore.  If you're bored, go home and watch TV."  It was great.

Today, we woke up and got started on Grammy's yard.  Kevin's uncle and his wife showed up with a truck and a chain saw.  We hauled and loaded and burned and raked until we were about wore slick.  I have splinters and blisters and aching muscles, but her yard looks SO much better.

The city is supposed to be hauling this stuff off, but it's been over a month and they haven't gotten to her area, so I hated to count on them.  The city dump was allowing folks to haul the brush there for free, so we took 5 loads.  Now, the only thing left is the stuff we can't do.  There are limbs still hanging from the trees, and one is lying on her roof.  She'll have to pay someone to get to those.  They are just too high in the air.

Tonight, we stopped at Wal-Mart on the way home and bought a rotisserie chicken.  Theywere marked down to half price, so we bought 2!  Lunch for tomorrow, too!  We stopped at Mom's to get Hawkeye, and didn't even go in to say "hi."  That's terrible, but we're so sore and tired.

Now, it's football and relaxation.  Tomorrow, we clean house, but tonight, we rest.  Tomorrow will be my first day off at home since January 1.  It'll be great.  After the house is clean, my butt will be right here, on this couch.

I meant to get an "after" picture of Linda's yard, but we didn't even think about it.  We just poured ourselves into the car and headed North.  Did I ever mention that I work at a desk and am TERRIBLY out of shape?  Yeah, I do and I am.  There are places that are sore that I didn't know I had.  Ever notice how a thorn in the finger tip can cause horrible pain at any touch?

Typing isn't fun anymore.  Good Bye.
