XI

What a fine Saturday today was. I started it out with my family at the Old Settlers parade. I think this years theme was rock n roll... nearly every other float had an Elvis impersonator on it! I'm sure, though, that all of them were MILES better than last weekend's impersonator! So the picture that I chose from the parade is this one:

I'm not certain, but I believe Uncle Sam is now a Nazi? And taking all of the boy scouts down with him!


Up next is just a quick shot of worship team practice. I enjoy being on worship team a lot. Practice is sometimes my favorite time. Just jammin with the band and the worship is fresh in your heart. Good times!


And finally, I went with my roomie and her parents to go see John Reep, the winner of 'Last Comic Standing' and of 'is that a hemi?' Dodge commercials. FUNNY!! Oh my word... My face and guts hurt from laughing so much!! Hope your day was enjoyable too!

Until Next time...

Day 10... a boring day indeed!

It's that time again. Old settlers... this was about as close as I got. I walked down there thinking I would get some dinner. But as soon as I got there I was overwhelmed by the number of people and the idea that I might actually see someone I knew and be forced to hold a conversation with them. So I promptly left! :) Maybe tomorrow I'll be a little more brave.

I just thought that this was funny... one of the potties had a sticker designating it as a women's potty. But there wasn't one for men... I guess there were some trees nearby...

Until next time...

Happy Thursday! Poison chair. It's the name of the game. You don't want to touch the chair or you're out. It gets pretty intense when you are trying to whip someone around to make them bump the chair. Turns out... I'm pretty good at this game. I took 3rd in the second game, but to be fair I was in the running with Alec and Ben. (BTW-In case you couldn't tell, I'm the grey shirted person in the center) We had some fun playing this game before getting started at TREK tonight. So far, I'm really enjoying this group, and I'm really looking forward to this year! :)

Until next time...

So If you thought this blog was boring... well... today won't disprove that. :) Nothing really noteworthy today. Work, home, couch time! I did make some rice crispy treats for TREK for tomorrow, but was in a hurry to start our movie and forgot to snag a picture of the process so this is what I'm doing while I type this:



Watching Shutter Island. I'm probably going to have nightmares. Oh well. Oh Leonardo...

I loved you from the moment you stepped onto the Titanic.

:) Until next time...

Siete! Sieben! ! şapte!

So today was a pretty normal day. So I decided to post some normal boring pictures...

And Here I am at Midas getting my oil changed... Trust the Midas touch!



And reading from this magazine... Can this marriage be saved? I believe so!!! I'll probably never know though for sure because they were done so fast that I didn't have time to finish the article!



Okay, I lied. I included one slightly interesting picture. Kodi and I went for a walk tonight because it was just too nice to sit at home and watch tv! We walked down to the Calamity Line Park that is just down the street from our house and a little silliness ensued:



Until next time!

Another day (day 6)

Today was a mostly relaxing day, I didn't do too much. Watched some movies, read my book, and went for a leisurely drive with Kodi. We drove through some disgustingly wealthy neighborhoods and gawked at their massive homes while wondering what they did for a living. We ended up in Shawnee Mission Park and climbed the observation tower. It was already super windy today but being on top of that tower was incredibly more so. The tower was definitely moving with the wind. So here is my pic from atop the tower:



And for just a little inspiration of the day, someone had written this at the top and I kind of liked this:



Yes... I think I shall...

Day Cinco

Today Kodi and I decided to try out Santa-Cali-Gon days in Independence. Neither of us had been there before and we saw that there was going to be a root beer chugging contest, um, heck yes! Sign us up!




I placed 10th! ...out of 10... :) But it was okay. Free Root Beer! The first cup went down pretty fast but as I started in on the second, I knew I was a goner... I could either just go for it and barf later (like some little girl did before us, right in front of us... and some splatter made it on my foot) or just enjoy the free root beer and be okay with last place. I obviously chose the latter. But it was fun, and now I can officially say I have participated in a root beer chugging contest! :) BTW- The big guy at the end of the table won. He drank 5 cups in 60 seconds!! Yuck!







Once again, we get two photos today! We saw some really interesting things while there. I'm pretty sure that the words 'festival' or 'fair' really means 'let the crazies out'. Besides the horrible Elvis impersonator that we saw and heard (He calls himself E2 and I'm pretty sure he thought he was God's greatest gift) we also saw this ----->
I don't know if you can tell, but that ain't no baby in the stroller... that's definitely a dog! Really? It's one thing to bring your obnoxious, spoiled dog out to a crowded place like this, but in a stroller?!? People! What have we come to!?! So I in-conspicuously snapped a picture with my phone to share with the world. Or at least those that read this. :) Until next time...
