Today was a pretty great day, although it got off to a rough start. I woke up while Kristi was getting ready because once again Lucy decided to get sick. I don't know what her deal is, it hasn't happened since I started feeding her late at night over a month ago, but I guess her stomach was too empty this morning for some reason. So that was alot of fun. I had to put some stuff in the wash and then get her to eat some food. After that she went back to sleep and I slept a little until 8:15.
I texted Joe to ask what time he was coming in. I figured if he wasn't going to be in until 10 or so, I would get some extra sleep...the week of school work wore me out quite a bit. He suggested that we go to breakfast, and I thought that sounded like a good time, so I met him at Perkins. I like hanging out and talking with friends, so getting to eat meals with Joe is always a good time for me.
Work was pretty uneventful today. We ran some cable up to the stage and I did a few random things like setting up an EasyWorship schedule and locating all the tv carts, but really it was pretty slow over all. I ended up leaving just a few minutes before 2:30.
Since it was so nice outside, I had already decided that I wanted to take Lucy to the dog park when I got home. Kristi said she didn't really want to go, so I didn't wait for her to get home. Lucy did a little better this time. She was still extremely nervous, but she interacted with the dogs a little more. You can tell that she really loves some of the dogs, because when certain ones come over to where she is to say hi her tail starts going and she acts like she wants to play. For some reason though she just isn't bold enough to go play with the big group. I think that she enjoys going though, and maybe eventually she'll be confident enough to play with all the dogs. We walked through Cleveland Park a little after the dog park, and then came back home.
On the way home I saw a blimp flying over Simpsonville, which seemed weird to me. I couldn't think of anything going on in Simpsonville that would warrant a blimp. I actually did a speech on blimps in college for my communications class, and there aren't a ton of them around. The speech was pretty amazing though, I drew a sweet diagram and everything. I actually did alot better on that speech than my serious ones, because my teacher never agreed with my point of view, so he was really picky. Whatev.
Kristi got home a little later and we took off for Fall for Greenville. We stopped at a carnival going on at her school first, but didn't stay too long. I wore the new class t-shirt, and I felt a little silly to be honest.
Fall for Greenville was a really good time. We got downtown and everyone was charging 5$ to park everywhere, so I figured we would see if the parking garage was free. It is usually free on the weekends, which I think is a great idea, but I wasn't sure about special events. We had to fight our way through a few parking lots and side streets because of streets being shut down to traffic, but eventually we got there and sure enough it was free. I had to laugh at the boy scouts across the street trying to wave the cars into their 5$ lot, and pretty much every car ignoring them and going into the free parking garage. Sorry kid, I don't know you, and I was never in boy scouts anyways.
Once we parked we walked through the little courtyard and out to Main where Coffee hits. There was quite a crowd, so we got a map to scout out whether we wanted to get food from booths or eat at a restaurant. There were some pretty good options, so we decided to do the booth thing. We spent 20$ on tickets and got some really good food. There were so many choices that it was really hard to decide what to get, but I love variety so that was fine with me. I ended up getting some MiMi's Steakhouse shrimp and fried rice, some spicy shrimp rolls from Sushi Muriyaki, and a drink. Kristi got some MiMi's as well, some soup from Soby's, and a smoothie from Liquid Highway. We ended up having 4 tickets left over, and instead of finding something random that we wouldn't really enjoy we gave them to a family in line to buy tickets. They seemed like they appreciated it.
I hadn't been to Fall for Greenville for a few years, and I really enjoyed it. The food was good, and I saw a ton of people I knew too, including an old friend from Clemson, one of my swimmers from when I coached, and John from the worship team at Southside. It was a great time.
We came home and stopped at Bi-Lo on the way. I wanted to see what my options were for 1.00 DVD rentals from their machine. There were no good options, but there was a huge collection of Policemen and Firemen in the parking lot around this van in the back. They had yellow tape up and everything. I asked a guy what was happening, and he said he didn't know, but had heard they found a dead person in the van. I called my friend Nate from Greenville Tech. He is an EMT and I knew that if he was working he would know what was going on. Sure enough he said his friend Alex had made that call and that all they knew was that someone was dead. The coroner was on his way to check things out. I am looking forward to finding out more about that on Monday.
Since we didn't rent a movie, I put in Rudy when we got home. I hadn't seen it in forever, and I just bought it for 5$ from Target the other day. It is such a good movie, which I find slightly ironic as I don't really like Notre Dame. Really though when it comes to teams other than Clemson I usually like them or don't like them depending on their coach. I'm not a big Charlie Weiss fan, and I feel like Tyrone Willingham got shafted, so that's probably why. Oh, and I know some pretty obnoxious Notre Dame fans too. I really enjoyed watching the movie, and Kristi watched most of it with me. She doesn't really get into the whole football thing though, so alot of her watching involved sleeping. After the movie we both got into bed, and I figure I'll watch some Leno and Conan since I don't have to get up early tomorrow.
My plan is to dig out all the rest of the dead grass tomorrow and then go get some soil and compost to put down. I'm excited that it is raining outside because the ground will be soft. Although, I hope it stops by tomorrow so I can actually do the work....
