Weekends don't pay as well as weekdays but at least there's football. ~S.A. Sachs
This weekend doesn't feel like a whole lot is going on. A football game Saturday afternoon, Royals game Saturday evening and team pictures Sunday afternoon. HOWEVER, it never ends up as simple as that.
My "never can sit still" husband will find some project to do. A project for the both of us nonetheless. I can see it now, he'll want to sand down the front railing and stain it. Bet. I would also like to paint the trim around the front door our trim color, add a storm door and re-paint the front door (just to give it a fresh coat) I have an Upper Case Living sticker I also want to apply to the front door. It says "Welcome to our home". I'm sure he'll say my project can wait since it will require spending dollars. No need explaining that any further, as we all know! :) I have plenty of projects to do around the house instead of Bri finding something else for me to do.
Tyler's team football came is going to be an exciting one, they are playing against their toughest rivals. The Liberty Blue Jays and they are out for blood. They have tried to defeat our team for the last couple of years and just cannot make it happen. We tied 6-6 last year and put a hurting on them at the Truman bowl with a 30-0 score. We are the team everyone wants to beat. Just to give you an idea, Kearney tied with us 0-0 and they were celebrating that! The week before Liberty played Kearney and won 34-6. I think Kearney stepped it up last week against us. Kearney couldn't move the ball, they just blocked well. So tomorrow is going to be an exciting game. Come out an watch if you want, we can use all the support!
Went to visit my gpa and uncle last night with Lins. Gpa seems to be doing OK, looks good. Not only did we surprise them with our visit but I brought them both a shake. Strawberry for my gpa and Vanilla for my Uncle. When my gpa was in extended care out by my house I would bring him Strawberry shakes, "they were the best". Wouldn't you know, gpa traded out his Strawberry for the Vanilla! Linds and I were told that both houses on either side of them were for sale. I asked Linds which one she wanted and I'd take the other! :) I think we'd drive my uncle insane if we actually did that! One has foundation problems and the other has asbestos! As we were leaving gpa made the comment if feels like we had just gotten there, I wouldn't mind at all living so close to them. Gpa also made the comment that in one of the pictures on his wall of Linny - she resembles Chelsea Clinton. My uncle and I whole heartily disagreed and told gpa I was leaving so I wouldn't be a witness to what comes next! We all laughed.
With that, I'm out - have a great weekend. Peace.

Hyped on Caffeine & No Where To Go!
One of the advantages bowling has over golf is that you seldom lose a bowling ball. ~Don Carter
Today's quote is for Dom, as he plays both! ; ) Enjoy!
Yesterday I watched some trailers making another list of movies I want to see.
Everyone Wants To Be Italian comes out this Friday but is limited. I don't think KC is considered limited. If only I was in NY or LA would I be able to see this film. In short - it's a love story with humor.
The Women - 9/12 - gee, can you guess what this is about?
Appaloosa - 9/17 - again limited. Dom showed me this one, so I think were flying to NY for the weekend so we can see it! ; )
Igor - 9/19 - a cartoon with John Cusack. We were going to marry, it just didn't work out with his schedule and mine. We remain friends though.
Nights In Rodanthe - 9/26 - Nicholas Sparks novel comes to film again. I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG!!! I hope it's only as good as the book.
The Lucky Ones - 9/26 - Rachel McAdams, I think she talented and loved her in The Notebook. It's a group of strangers coming back from war and travel the road together.
In October comes
The Express - first black male to win the Heisman trophy.
The Secret Life of Bees - probably too young for me, a movie made from a young adult novel, but it stars Queen Latifah and Dakota Fanning.
Pride & Glory - A saga centered on a multi-generational family of New York City Police officers
The Boy in Striped Pyjamas - based on a book about a boy befriending a concentration camp boy 8 yrs of age.
So anyone want to join me, Ty wont be able to see some of these?

Holy Mackerel Batman - It's Bionic Woman!
You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you. ~John Wooden
I met Lisa for dinner at Cracker Barrel on Friday night before heading to Santa- Cali-Gon. We had a very enjoyable dinner, after much "studying" of the menu a day before and having my mind made up to have breakfast for dinner (one of my favorites) - "cod" slipped out when ordering! - Never fails! We rocked in the chairs on the patio before and after our meal just enjoying the weather, people watching and the quite sounds of our absent husbands and children... We laughed as everyone we saw was about 30 years older than us. We said, we're just getting a head start!
We took Noland Road to get to Santa-Cali-Gon. We caught a red light and there was a man on a Harley in front of me. He scared me because he was on the car's @$$ end in front of him. (They need not to be that close!) So anyway the light turned green, the car went, the motorcyclist tried to go and went squirrely! He flat laid it down! Without thinking twice I threw my truck into park, jumped out and asked if he was OK as I approached him. His leg was stuck under the bike so I picked the bike up off him (setting it back up) and he stood up. At the same time men are fleeing from Firestone and the cars behind me to also assist. He was definitely a little shook. The Firestone guys asked if he wanted to sit a minute but he declined and went on. {I can tell you, he wasn't on a Sportster (men don't look right on those). When I told Bri what happened that's the first thing he asked. I had always heard once a bike is laid down, it's hard to get up.} We followed him clear to 23rd Street and at every light, he'd do the same thing - get up on the car in front on him. Lisa asked if he was drunk, I told her probably not. It was a brand new bike and I don't think he was comfortable with it yet. His poor license plate & holder now resemble an accordion!
Be proud of me, the only thing I bought at Santa-Cali-Gon was a homemade root beer! I did see some great stuff I wanted but Lisa was my strong hold. We said we'd go back and get it, but by the time we were done - it was too far and my dogs were barking! We were still full from dinner that we didn't even buy a funnel cake! That's just unheard of!!!
Saturday, Ty played a GREAT football game! My hormones are wreaked. I wanted to cry in the stands. THERE IS NO CRYING IN FOOTBALL!!! An excerpt from the head coaches e-amil - "On a positive note I thought Tyler ******, boy, boy, boy, and boy played well on Saturday. These boys are exceeding my expectations this year and I would like to recognize it. Great job." I cannot tell you the details as far as what position & etc., but I can tell you Ty kicked @$$ on the field. Makes Tyler really proud that his coaches called him out. We ended the game with a tie 0-0. After that I took Ty and a friend to see The Longshots. Cute movie about a female Pop Warner football player that makes it to the championship game.
Sunday and Monday were low key. Sunday after church we went to dinner with our neighbors and their family. About 18 in all at Jose Peppers! We had some good laughs. Monday Bri and I drove to the outskirts of Warrensburg to an Amish Furniture shop. They are VERY fond of their furniture so we let them keep it. Over $900 for a bench to put at the foot of your bed! I was planning on somthing like... oh say $200! Ty & I later went to the pool and Bri joined us. We played monkey in the middle for about 2 hours. And I straight hit my baby right in the face with the ball! Don't feel bad for too long as he returned the favor in no time! We came home and Ty & I headed to the grocery store. He's such a good helper. He pushed the cart. I even told one lady, "I teaching him how to drive!" :)
We ended the extended weekend with a nice dinner on the deck enjoying the last few days of summer while we can.
Peace
