My Big Fat Greek Wedding was on tv tonight. I always cry at the end when the dad is giving the speech and then gives the new couple the deed to the house he and his wife bought. Every single freakin' time I start bawling.

Great Movie. It's funny and kind of reminds me of my big ol' family.

TennisBoy and the tennis team started the first round of the NCAA's. I went and watched to first round match on Friday and they won! Then later that day, I went to the Event Director's place for a after-ride party. Since the Shiner Ride is all finished up, the event director hosted a little after-ride party.

Friday I left work at 3:00, went home, hopped on my beater bike and rode to the YMCA for my swim. It was nice a breezy (even though it was hot) and my swim was OK.

Friday night I went to dinner with a small group of friends. We went to Beck's on S. Congress, and I can't say I was impressed. The service was not good at all and it wasn't even busy. ( Read more... )

The baseball game Friday night was fun. We had a lively bunch sitting in front of us, which is always fun. At one point the guys sitting in front of us called me, "the lady on the top row..." and after I had said I wasn't that old to be called "lady" they called me "...the young temptress" instead. HA! Yeah, yeah, I am probably 8 years older than ( Read more... )
