Baseball & Bridal Showers

This week, Jay and I were lucky enough to go to not one, but TWO Rangers games.  We went on Monday and on Friday: an excellent way to surround the work week.

While we were there on Monday, we sat next two two men with barbecue sandwiches that they'd bought inside the ballpark.  I'm not really much of a barbecue lover, but those sandwiches smelled good.  They'd had the sandwiches for a while when I leaned over and asked if they taste as good as they smell.  I told the man that I was having to restrain myself.  He chuckled and said they were very good.  He then turned to talk to the man he came to the game with.  After conferencing with said friend, the man next to me handed me a sandwich and said, "Here.  Try it--he's not going to eat it.  We get 'em like everyday, so go ahead."  I said no, but they insisted, so I took it.  It was a very strange interaction.  It was, however, a very delicious interaction.

At Friday's game, we got to see fireworks, and that's always awesome.  The Rangers have the best fireworks shows.  Ever.  In the whole world.  Even Disney doesn't compete with this level of magic and awesome--and I would know.

Yesterday, Saturday, Jay's parents finally got the keys to their new house (yay!!), so we went there to help paint the kitchen and living room.  By the time we left, the walls were pretty much done!  It's always nice to get the painting over with quickly, right?  Jay went back today to help them move in their furniture and get everything out of the "old" house. 

While he helped them move, I--with the help of my mom--shopped for and prepared for a bridal shower this afternoon.  We made sandwiches and punch, picked up cake and balloons and napkins, set up decorations, re-arranged the room--we were running around like a bunch of crazy people (out of the ordinary, right?) to get it all done.  In the end, it was a super lovely afternoon.  We had delicious tea and food, excellent company, and I think everyone had fun.  All our crazy running was put to good use.  :)

Oh, and I have my laptop back.  Yay!!  All the keys appear to function properly, and I am installing Microsoft Office right now.  Feels good to be off a Mac.
