Some Spoilers Contained Herein!
The 13 cast members (the largest number ever) are ‘NSync’s Lance Bass, singer Toni Braxton, Rock Star INXS host Brooke Burke, reality show failure Rocco DiSprito, Olympian Maurice Greene, reality show star Kim Kardashian, actor Cloris Leachman, Hanna Montana’s Cody Linley, soap star Susan Lucci, actor Ted McGinley, Olympian Misty May-Treanor, comedian Jeff Ross, and NFL star Warren Sapp.I personally am ever greatful for Misty Mary-Treanor. Nicole, it is sory of like when Apollo Anton Ohno was on... I am sure after the Olympics Laura was hoping those two beach volleyballers would disappear!
So, we went to the Will County Fair and to the demolition derby. Seriously, I had a blast and Owen and Quinn loved it too! There were only 7 or 8 cars at a time (I am used to like 20 at a time) but even with a smaller track, there were some great hits. There were two really funny moments. 1. This guys steering wheel fell off and he was trying to stick it back in to keep driving and going. He eventually lost, because of the 60 second rule of not hitting a legal car. The final heat was absolutely amazing. These guys were really hitting hard. One car burst into flames- the guy got out OK. After the cheering died down there was a peculiar noise. The hit and fire short-circuited the car horn. The ride home was equally funny- try hearing a 3 and 5 year old explaining the derby was hysterical.
The 3 year old "Mommy, we went to the Bembolting Derby. Yeah, they were loud and crashing. ONe guy was spiderman. (He had an emblem of spiderman on his roof) Then there was a big hit- and this one guy backed into another guy... oh and a fire...."
The 5 year old "The 4-9-7 hit the 10-10 and he caught on fire. Then the 5-7 kept going. (Yup- he's learning his numbers and he really remembered all the numbers- it was crazy)
So Sunday we went to Starbucks and started looking through more wedding music. We are both musicians so we want to pick some things that aren't as common. Laura wants Trumpet Voluntary for her processional, but we've picked "PRelude to Te Deum" by Marc Antoine Charpentier and Handel's "Arrival of the Queen of Sheeba" and "Alleluia from Exultate Jubilate". Some people may have heard of these, but they certainly aren't as common as say "Cannon in D" and "Jesu- Joy of man's Desiring" We are having our first pre-marital (Or maybe marital counseling as the case may now be) on Thursday. All the music needs to be approved by the music director, and I swear I will kick his butt if he doesn't approve something. He has rubbed Laura the wrong way since he met her and he is a little upset that we didn't ask him to do the wedding. Sorry, brass sextet trumps an ego-centric organist any day!
I can't think of anything else right now- except for the fact that I am cleaning out the pantry. There is seriously some stuff that expired in 2001 in there. GROSS! Mother-in-law is pissed that I am throwing things out. She says it is still good. Um- 7 year expired..... NOPE! It is going out. If she goes to the dumpster and digs things out- it is an all out war!!!
