Halfway through a full weekend. Thanks to EMo for calling me out on not posting. I’m back-dating this. That’s cheating, I know. Screw it. It’s my blog.

Friday night was mostly a ton of fun. OSUJenn’s friends are terrific and they made fried chicken. I mean really. How am I NOT going to like anyone who makes homemade fried chicken?

Jenn: Do you want to meet my friends? They’re making fried chicken.
Me: I’d love to meet your chicken–er, friends!

After dinner I went and picked Julie and Tommy up for shenanigans at Victoria’s Midnight Cafe. The three of us crammed into the cab of my truck was fairly amusing but I don’t think either of them really needed to drive at that point and Julie’s car could explode at any minute so…

My Uncle Lloyd is a terrific performer and I pretty much never get tired of hearing his voice. I think Tommy was duly impressed by that and they were both fully amused when I got a shout-out from the stage just for being there. Family is fun.

Because I was driving, I wasn’t nearly inebriated enough to have completely enjoyed the last two hours of that experience but for the most part it was a ball and I really love hanging out with the both of them–drunk or not. There are, however, some photos taken on my camera when I left the room that are bordering on pornographic. Hmm. I sense a bribe coming up.

Today I spent the morning with the family, completely goofing over Tyler (even though I’m having a hard time dealing with the slobber) and taking silly pictures. The afternoon found me cleaning and doing a shit-ton of laundry (that’s more than a butt-load) and then having a terrific Italian dinner with Brad and Dallas. The work they’ve done on their condo is amazing. It’s like a showroom of fabulous.

The evening ended peacefully on the couch with OSUJenn, catching up on the Daily Show while she knitted my fingerless mittens.

And really, this has just been a weekend full of the smiles and hugs of people who are happy to see me. And I’m not sure what’s better than that. I’m feeling awfully rich right now.
