(HOT) weekend re-cap

I don't know exactly how hot it was over the weekend, but it was HOT. I heard on the radio on Sunday afternoon that it was 100 degrees with a heat index of 103. It really didn't feel that warm at that time so it just makes me wonder how hot it got on Saturday because to me it felt much hotter Saturday vs. Sunday.

AAAAAAAAAAnyways, I left work a bit early on Friday and got home just in time for my sister to arrive. She had some things going on Friday evening and Saturday morning over in our part of town so rather than going out to nowhere-ville where she lives she just came to our house for the night. She just started her training to become a manager at Baker's Square and gets free everything so she brought us a huge slice of French Silk Pie! Yummers. We didn't do much Friday night, just hung out & sat out on the patio. Andy opened a bottle of wine and between the 3 of us it was gone by 11.

Saturday morning we were going to go to the Farmer's Market/Art Festival, but I was sooooo tired at 8:00 that I just told Andy to go without me. There was no art festival as advertised so I didn't miss out on anything. Around 10:30 to noon the Rondo Day's Parade came by our house. We went out and sat on the sidewalk in the shade, but it was about the worst parade I've ever seen. 90% politicians and 10% drill teams. The drill teams was interesting to watch, but we couldn't see anything because people kept standing in front of us. Whatever. At one point, a "float" came by full of people. Some idiot on it had a huge squirtgun

and thought it'd be funny to squirt everyone. Yeah. Haha very funny that it got in my eyes. NOT COOL. I glared at him and he saw me. To "apologize" he chucked a bunch of stupid mardi gras beads in my direction. They got stuck in the tree.

At another point one of the politicians herself was out wandering the crowds and picked us, the only whities in the group to shake our hands. I don't like shaking hands so I didn't offer my hand. She was pissed. Like my sister said though, if she doesn't have a thick skin she's a crappy politician! Maybe I should have just humored her, but 1) why would she only shake the whities hands? and 2) she had been shaking people's hands for a good mile before she got to us--do I want all those germs on my hands? no thanks!

The parade ended, well, we went back in the house before it did, around noon and boy did it ever clear out fast! We sat around and Holly left for her wedding shower. Andy & I went to wal-mart looking for Dickies but had no luck. I wanted to buy a baby toy but Andy said no so we went home and took a nap. Around 2:30 my sister & brother-in-law dropped off our neice on their way to a wedding. Nadia was much more content this time than she was last time we baby-sat her. They came back around 5:30 to pick her up and bring her to the reception.

We ordered Pizza Hut around 6:30 and they said it would be over an hour so we were pleasently surprised when the doorbell rang at 7. Yummy Pizza Hut! We watched more Gilmore Girls and then went for a walk to return some video rentals.

I'm just going to skip over Sunday though because it really wasn't a great day at all. So that was our weekend--
