Happy Birthday, Mom!
Like the title says, Happy Birthday, Mom. This year, I believe my mom is 29...again. Pretty soon, I'll be as old as she is.
This weekend was a lot of fun, albeit quite tiring. Here's the rundown.
Friday night, I had some friends from around here come over to my place. We played Axis & Allies (a World War 2 board game) and ate tacos. Fun was had by all.
Saturday morning, Nate left to come and visit. By about 1 in the afternoon, his trek was complete and he arrived at our place in Rochester. We immediately went out to eat, which was followed with shopping for speakers. We picked up a set that we really liked, although it was a little more expensive than we had hoped. In the end, though, we came out awfully close to our budget.
We got the speakers home and proceeded to turn our basement into a movie theater. There is now a whole lot of wiring running through our basement, but you can't see it (nor do you care) while you're looking at a giant screen playing Lord of the Rings in full surround sound. :)
Our projector hadn't arrived yet so we had been using Nate's for the weekend. I just checked UPS.com, though, and they report that our projector is currently at our house waiting for us. I must admit, though, I do get a little nervous about a package like that just sitting outside. At least it's not raining. Once we get our projector in place, we should be set to go (although I do need to pick up a couple component video cables and an optical audio cable). I imagine we'll probably get that taken care of tonight.
Then, Saturday night, we had a most excellent meal (a birthday celebration, I suppose). Nate brought along some steaks, which I believe consisted of most of the cow, and we grilled those over charcoal. In addition, we had home-made onion rings and grilled pineapple slices. It was a truly spectacular meal. We also had a nice bottle of wine and cheesecake for dessert. I must say that I made a complete pig of myself and ate entirely too much, but it was magically delicious. We stuffed ourselves silly and then sat on the deck for an hour or two just gabbing. Good times.
Sunday was a busy day, as well. We had the fantasy football draft scheduled for our place and we were expecting around 20 people to be there. We ended up holding the draft in our garage and, all in all, it went quite well. We started just after 4 in the afternoon and were done before 9. Not bad for a 16 team league.
Yeah, so that's probably enough rambling for me. Tonight and tomorrow, Liz and I have soccer games (the last of the season). Besides that, we really need to get ready to head off to Ireland. We leave on Friday.
Catch y'all later,
Corey
