Catch-Up

Apparently I've taken another unintentional hiatus, and this is who/what I blame:

1. My work

2. Job searching

3. Friday - Mack arrived in the afternoon and we almost immediately detoured to Giant Eagle for party shopping (which apparently includes two pies, if you're Mack), then to my parent's briefly to visit (and finish my laundry), then to the park for volleyball (though I was on the DL for my bruised wrist from last time I played), and then to the apartment for the party. Highlights included disturbing stories about plungers (yes, stories is meant to plural), our bathtub turning brown from everyone washing the sand off their feet, being accused of cheating because I managed to guess "The Shawshank Redemption" in Scene It without any of the letters being filled in, and the apple pie collapse of 2009. All in all, a good evening.

4. Saturday - A couple of words for you Mack: pig in a lifejacket. Anyway, most of the day was consumed by Meg and Steve's wedding (Meg is a sorority sister, for those of you who don't know her), which was quite nice. Stamp of approval on the bride and bridesmaid dresses, and I really loved Meg's blue shoes. I think Mack set a record of number of vodka and cranberries consumed in a four hour period, but since I love drunk Mack, this was a good time. Afterwards, we stopped in at Alexis' bachelorette party and drunk Mack took me for a piggyback ride that almost resulted in an injured Kristen and me being thrown onto a parked car. Once again, a good time, I just wish we would have been there for more of the festivities.

5. Sunday - Mack left relatively early, so I walked over to the woman's pavilion where Tim's church was having a service/picnic. Later we went putt-putting in Strongsville with Peter, Libby and Marissa. The course there was cute, and between us there were five holes-in-one (two of them were mine. None were Marissa's...that girl has some rage issues with putting the ball). I know other stuff happened that day, but my mind's at a loss, so we're just going to leave it at that.

6. The least successful trip to Cedar Point in history - Tim, Libby and I went yesterday and we were greeted by some crummy weather. We waited in line for Raptor for over an hour and were actually seated on the ride ready to go when they made us get off because it was raining. We eventually rode, but not after waiting for awhile. We tried to go on Blue Streak, but they had mechanical difficulties. We made it on Disaster Transport, but that doesn't change the fact that Disaster Transport needs to last longer to warrant its wait. Libby and Tim rode Magnum and Mean Streak, but my stomach started hurting, so I sat those out. We left around four because Tim needed to be back for a meeting by six. I have never done so little at CP. Thankfully all of us have season passes, so it wasn't a complete waste.

7. Columbine by David Cullen - I started reading it when I got home last night and haven't been able to put it down (the stomach keeping me stationary probably aided that more than it typically would). I'd be reading it right now, but it's easier to pretend that you're doing work when you're typing at a computer than when you're in the corner reading a book.

Other random things:
1. Every time I see the guy putting candy in the vending machines, I want to grab it and run away. I don't really want the candy save maybe a Twix bar, but I just want to run around throwing candy at people.
2. Apparently I just had part of a saltine wrapper attached to my forehead and had no idea. Scary. And sadly typical.
3. There's a guy in the lobby who looks exactly like the guy in Austin Powers who threw shoes.
4. My school loans are officially paid off, and I say yay.
5. I saw a bunny outside the hospital this morning. Not in the scary part by the street, but the part next to Case where it's pretty. It looked like a nice bunny place.
6. I want to go bowling. Like right now.
7. This entry has become too long, goodbye.
