Where to begin...

Okay...Okay... I know, it's catch up time again.

I left off the last entry saying that John was up to something with the Kenny Chesney tickets--he had gotten us section 101 row 2 tickets! Great seats! I took a lot of pictures, and some actually didn't turn out too bad. Ann, Cindy, and Melissa went with. We had a great time. We really need to have girls nights out more often. The tailgating before was fun also--time to just relax! We didn't sit down for Pat Green, none of us had really heard of him--and we were on a mission to get drinks. Sugarland was good, Kenny ROCKED (can you say that about a country singer?)!! While still tailgating...we had made a trip to the wonderful out houses. On the way back, I noticed someone bent over my car, using the trunk for a table. As we walked up I asked "Why are you writing on my trunk??" Well then I realized it was a police officer, not that that makes it ok. His reply was that he wasn't "writing" on my trunk, but if I wanted him to move, he would. So of course I said "yes". That is why that pad has a cardboard back--so you can hold it in your hand and write. Oh well---back to the partying!! I haven't really drank in awhile. Made up for it a little that night. But surprisingly I didn't feel bad the next day. Relax....Ann drove to her house, and Cindy drove from there. I must admit too, that I tried to use the cancer card to get backstage. Didn't work unfortunately. It has to be good for something though right?

Jenny and Susie did their walk that weekend too. It was hotter than hell!! And I guess on the last night they had to evacuate their tents because of a storm. Most of the walk wasn't in Chicago, most people were surprised at that. Susie ended up with heat rash and Jenny had several toes bandaged due to blisters. Jenny (God love her..) when people would complain about the walk, she would say..."It's better than having your boobs chopped off!" Or something similar. I would imagine that shut everyone up!! I still think it was incredibly awesome of them to do this in my honor.

This past weekend we went to Great America. I didn't book a room ahead of time, thinking that if we got all the park done in one day we wouldn't need a room. Note to self....next time just book the room and use it, even if just going home the next morning. We did find a room, it just would have been nice to be able to go directly there, instead of driving around looking. Friday night the "Plain White T's" had a free concert. We did have to go get wristbands first thing though. Then we were tied up from about 4:30 to 8:30 with the concert. It was pretty good. Wonderful weather that day--not too bad of lines either. Saturday was gloomy. We wanted to hit Superman first, but the line was already pretty long, so we hit other roller coasters and pretty much got right on. Batman, Deja Vu, V2, Raging Bull, And Iron Wolf (I skipped that one--never liked it--even when it was Shock Wave--jostles you around too much). We also hit one of our favorite rides--The Giant Drop. Awesome!!! Then we went back and stood in line for Superman. Almost 2 hours later we got on the ride. WOW!! It ..... is........AWESOME!!!! Would love to go at a slow time to ride over and over--or maybe even get the front car. I had gone online and got the tickets--$15 off each---plus buy 3 get 1 free. For the tickets for the second day, they were $20 each. Saturday was a little chilly too. It did start raining about 3:30, so we headed on home. I was wiped!

Haley has now decided that she is going to be a vegetarian. She is just not eating meat. Animal by products are still ok. I have to say I am impressed (and proud). While at Great America, she could have easily given in, or decided she wasn't starting until Monday. Food choices were slim there. She did ok though, she had cheese fries the first day. The second day she shared Mucho Nachos with John, and picked off the meat.

The girls are of to school in the morning. They need it I think. They are nit picking at each other constantly. I am thinking Friday I may enjoy some nice quiet time in the pool. If something comes up Friday, then I will plan it for Monday. I have a dr appt. tomorrow--so that is out.

Ok--off to bed. We aren't used to this school schedule, we will all be hurting I think!!!
