One week and another post....what's going on with me?!?! Anyway, there is a lot to get to once again. Labor day ended up being quite a bit of fun with our family BBQ. My Grandma had a good portion of the family over and we spent the afternoon just enjoying the weather and catching up with one another. It's not all too often that you can get the aunts, uncles and cousins together and while we did have a few people missing, it was still a good time. (Bro...we missed you!)
Tuesday I drove to Arnold after work to get my hair highlighted and cut. It looks absolutely gorgeous - Angie always does awesome though.
Wednesday was an easy day for me and I came home after work and just took it easy. Thursday I drove out to Hermann, MO for dinner. The drive out there wasn't so bad, but the drive home at 9:30 at night was not the greatest. It felt like it took an extra hour to get home - of course, it didn't help that I had a margarita with dinner and I was exhausted on top of it all.
Friday was a normal day at work and all I wanted was for the day to end so I could come home and relax the rest of the night. While I was waiting for M to finish up a problem with one of our Mexican carriers at 5:30, my cell phone rang. It was Derick calling to find out what I was up to. I told him about my day and asked what he was up to besides driving through Illinois. Come to find out he was on Interstate 70 and passing Vandalia, which is about an hour from me. As we continued to talk, I tried to convince him to stop in for a visit since I was so close. And about 6:45, I heard a knock on my door and there he was! We ended up just staying in and watching the craziest movie possible and trying to catch up with all of the stuff that has happened for the both of us in the past few weeks. After the movie, he headed for his two hour trip home. Of course, while driving home he had to inform me of all of the St. Louis traffic and construction that was in his way and ticking him off. And my response back was..."but wasn't seeing me worth it all?!?" (Still don't have an answer to that one! Ha!)
Saturday morning I got up and headed out to Highland to visit with my Bro and for one of my 2nd cousin's wedding. I spent much of the afternoon talking with him and playing Guitar Hero. We ended up BBQing steaks and making my famous roasted potatoes.
That night was the wedding reception and I must say...it is probably one of the most memorable receptions I have ever been to. The wedding party drove up in a cattle trailer and came walking into the reception with their can coolies and beers and the toasts were hilarious. I saw quite a few of the guys I went to college with as well. I even went out and danced a few songs with relatives once the DJ got going. Overall, the night was a blast.
Yesterday, I watched football for a bit with my Dad and then trekked back home. And, today was back to work to start another week. The day went fairly well, even though I didn't feel that great. Hopefully I'll be back to my normal self tomorrow - I don't really need to be sick right now.
Anyway, have a great week and I'll update again soon!

Needs more Ryan.
Would you like me to dedicate another whole post to you?
I'd have to put my thinking cap on, but I'm sure I could do it!
You didn't even go into detail about how amazing my steaks were!
They were absolutely the greatest steaks Bro! In fact, I had the sirloin for dinner last night. It was almost as good as the t-bone I had on Saturday night.
I think Dad and I have decided - you're in charge of BBQing for Thanksgiving. :)
Sounds like you're having fun.
I have been pretty much confined to my house for the past few weeks.
Not much to do so I get my homework done then sit around and twiddle my thumbs for awhile.

(I'm thinking about making one of these blog thinga-majiggers.)
WOOO!
Just pretend that i posted that comment from my account. :-P
I spent more time making one than I thought I would.
Homecoming was really just upsetting.
And depressing. -_-
Now I have to go through another few days of my mom feeling sorry for me and trying to cheer me up.
I've become frustrated with a few people as well.
This has really not been a good few weeks for me.
Yeah it's just been one of those...few weeks.
I think I've only had about 20 hours of sleep, total, over the past two weeks.
I can't get to sleep then end up having a nightmare and waking up not even an hour later.
My mom and I were tempted to buy watercolor paints so that we could paint our dog Daisy to look like Scooby.
I'm usually online, so anything like MSN would be awesome.
