Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO HOO what a ride! -- Source unknown

Labor day weekend

Ok, it was Labor day weekend, correct? I always get confused with Memorial day and Labor day... Don't ask me why, I just do. Maybe it is because since forever the only reason I have been concerned is because it is a 3 day weekend. You can see where my priorities are, can't you!! I had an ok weekend... I did the traditional thing and went to my parents. The following are the wonderous events....

Saturday
I got to my parents and surveyed the situation. Basically, this means that I looked to see what "little" projects I could do there that would be finished in a weekend. I came up with making a small patio for their grill, fixing the surround sound and the cable to the TV. Yes, it makes me crazy to be at my parents so I have to find things to fix to keep me busy. That evening we went to my nephew's football game. Mind you, he is in 6th grade so it was a bit strange. The coach stands on the field with the players because they are not expected to remember the plays. This is only the second year he has been playing so you could tell at times he was a bit confused. He did a good job.

Sunday
I drug my brother to buy supplies to build said patio. I ended up buying 6 2ft square patio blocks instead of bag concrete. The blocks were 90 lbs each so we both had to lift them to get them into the truck. With the help of my brother, I smashed every finger on my right hand! Soon I will have to have it cut off as it is the most abused part of my body. I also fixed the surround sounds and scolded my father for "pushing buttons" as this is something I'm constantly fixing. And the cable got screwed back tightly so there will be no more snowy channels. I then went with my cousin and her son shopping. Please people, if you have a 2 year old who normally takes a nap at the time you dumb ass family comes over, tell them you can't go shopping. He was as good as can be expected for a little boy who fell asleep in the car and got woken you by two idiots trying to drag him through stores. He reached his limit within an hour and we were heading back home. He's the sweetest thing on earth and we should be punished for trying to drag him around!

Monday
I spent most of the day with my buddies Wesley, Zoe and McKenna (Elliot was at home sleeping). They make me smile, that's all I know!
