So I left work a little early on Friday. I drove to my mom's house, which generally takes about 2:45, however because of rush hour traffic and a stop for gas and at taco johns, it took by 4 hours to get home. I watched Hillary give a very long speech at the North Dakota Democratic Convention, which was on TV. My mom had watched the whole beginning where Barack spoke. I watched the highlights of his speech also. Although she went on forever, she was really amazing to listen to. She has plans, and ideas, and specifics...all of which impress me. I do like Barack too, don't get me wrong. He is the kind of guy who could definitely inspire a country, and I think that is awesome too. Honestly whoever gets the nomination, I won't have a problem voting for.
I woke up and my mom and I went to eat, then to visit my grandparents in the nursing home. I always enjoy visiting them, but I always leave feeling as though it could be the last time I see them. They get more and more frail each time, although, my grandpa did look better this time around.
Not unheard of in western MN in April, we were under a storm watch. Rain was to turn to snow, and on top of icy roads they were likely to get 5-10 inches...yuck. I drove back to mpls and stopped at Kohls to grab a shirt to wear to Bear Prom. I actually didn't find anything that i liked that really fit me, so I went in my Fierce t-shirt. The prom was awesome, and I wish more people would have come. The balloon arch was perfect, and the ice sculpture of the bear that they were pouring vodka down at the martini bar was an amazing touch....just like my high school prom! lol. ok maybe not. Music was better than the usual. What can I tell you, I wish I would have had a date to do the whole eat out at a nice restaurant before, but taco johns rocked my world. lol.
I got real drunk. like REAL drunk.
As in when I walked up the steps getting dropped off, while I was trying to fumble with keys to get in and holding onto my burger sack and soda.....I felt like my pants were going to slip right down. Then they did slip down. So pants around ankles, me trying to key into my house, holding burgers and soda
nice picture, huh?
P.S. : Today I saw "Leatherheads" I actually really liked it.
