Wow I am spent.\u00a0 My bleeding edge lifestyle is catching up with me, and quick.\u00a0 We started our weekend about Tuesday last week.\u00a0 I went out with a few guys from work, for a standard issue “going away” gathering.\u00a0 We went to Buffalo Wild Wings, which I actually kind of like, although I rarely actually go there.\u00a0 Then on Wednesday, we went out with the girls that rent the house next to us.\u00a0 Two of them were celebrating their big 24th birthdays, so we met them down at the ‘Sider for happy hour.\u00a0 Apparently when you’re 24 you have a different concept of “Happy Hour” though.\u00a0 We take it as a rather literal translation;\u00a0 4-5 o’clock, or 5-6, maybe<\/strong> 4-6 if we’re feeling particularly energetic.\u00a0 They seem to translate it into more of a “Happy Evening” or something along those lines.\u00a0 We took Thursday off and rested up, and then Friday night the same girls had a party at their house.\u00a0 We figured since they were going to be outside being all rowdy and generally disturbing the peace, we might as well head on over and have some fun.\u00a0 Sort of the “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em” tact.\u00a0 Luckily their parents were there, so we had somebody to relate to.\u00a0 I think<\/strong> their parents were actually a bit older than us, but I didn’t want to ask and find out differently.<\/p>\n

Saturday was yet another party.\u00a0 There was a benefit in Liberty supporting autism, so I went uncover with the Red Buffalo BBQ<\/a> team and helped them cook the food for it.\u00a0 Luckily it didn’t rain for once, so all we had to contend with was the 30 mph wind gusts.\u00a0 I pretty much spent the entire day up there, cooking and enjoying the day.\u00a0 The benefit started around 5:00 so that kept us busy for a while, but after everybody ate we enjoyed the party for several hours.\u00a0 It was a “casino night” theme, but the only betting we did was on the mice races.\u00a0 If you’ve never seen those, they just had this big plexiglass box, and they put in a bunch of mice and see which one reaches the end first.\u00a0 It was definitely a hit;\u00a0 mostly with the “10 and under” crowd.\u00a0 Not sure what that says about me…\u00a0 They had a big silent auction too, but I got outbid on everything I wanted.\u00a0 I was particularly keyed in on a “weekend in Omaha” package, but my boss’ little girl outbid me.\u00a0 I was gonna drop the hammer on her, but wimpy Doni said I should let her win it.\u00a0 So, I let her have her stupid ol’ trip.\u00a0 I stuck my tongue out at her when nobody was looking though.<\/p>\n

Sunday was my “down day.”\u00a0 Ran out of gas.\u00a0 Down for the count.\u00a0 Rest and recovery.\u00a0 I watched football all day, and that’s about it.\u00a0 I did mow the front yard, which took about 15 minutes, so I guess that counts for something.\u00a0 And, since I was on the PC all day watching my fantasy football teams anyway, I put together some pictures from the American Royal<\/a> finally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
