Irish Festival Time

This time last year Lizzie & Micah were here visiting and we all went to the Irish Festival on Friday night. This year, no Lizzie & Micah. :( I'm still going to the Irish Festival though. I am volunteering Friday night which means I get in free all weekend. They give you a ticket for volunteering and if you go to one of the Sunday masses you get in free. (Yes, I am a nerd). So I plan on going Saturday and Sunday to see some of the entertainment, mostly Gaelic Storm the band. It is going to be hot which will make the whole place stank and be super sticky. Awesome.

I like the entertainment and that is about it. After being in Ireland I am now a snot. (Well more than I was before). The only thing that even comes close is the entertainment and some of the Irish clothing and crafts. Food sucks and some of it is really Americanized. The only thing I found last year that was worth it was Irish baked goods. I guess I will just got back to Ireland so I can get the real thing.

Responsible Adult?!

Me?! Yes, I suppose so.

I had tickets with Aaron and two people from work to go to the Dave Matthews Band concert on the 29th. Well, I'm not going now. I have a meeting with a group of folks I directly work with that evening and while my boss didn't care if I wasn't there I felt it was not the responsible thing to go to the concert. I missed the first meeting because of Grandmom's funeral and that can be understood. Missing the second for a concert, maybe not. If I am supposed to be helping with Donor Development and getting a plan together along with my boss and this group of folks, I think it is only right that I go.

A guy at work is buying them from me so I'm not out all the money. He's been seeing Dave for 11 summers now (jealous). Makes me sad though because the last time I went to DMB was with Kyle and I haven't been since. I am going to be sad to miss the concert, but I would have really missed Kyle. I guess at some point you have to be a responsible adult. Let me tell you, it blows.....

Finally....

Pictures from Memorial Day trip to Zion & Bryce. Because I am too lazy and there are too many I simply have you going to the WalMart site where I ordered them from. Can you view them?

Grandmom

I know everyone told me she would be with me, but this weekend was hard. Mom and I went to Lakeside up on Lake Erie. I cannot tell you the number of times I wanted to call Grandmom to tell her something, laugh with her about something we saw or to have her hear something. The feeling of not being able to do so completely and totally sucks. A LOT.

Side note - if I'm not careful I'm going to end up like her. I still have bronchitis. I went to Urgent Care today and they said it was viral so the two doses of antibiotic that lasted me all of June did nothing other than kill a whole lot of stuff. I was given a cough syrup and an inhaler like they give for people with asthma. I guess I should watch it. Mom is really worried about me. I am too but there is only so much I can do. I can't lay in bed for weeks on end. I'm trying. I'm almost 30 and don't want this to go on for a long time or be a recurring trend. That would make Grandmom and I a little too close.....

Wii Suggestions?

If you own a Wii or have ever played one, I want to know what games you liked and why. Some games are better if you have more people to play, which in my case happens once in awhile. Most of the games that take a few people I wait for my friend Autumn and her husband to get and we play them. We, meaning they, have Super Mario Party (or whatever it is called) and guitar hero (love it!). They also have Super Mario Paperboy, which I could get but haven't tried out yet.

So what do you suggest I get and why? And if you haven't played Wii, you SO need to.

PS - Yes I am a loser. No I have nothing else special to tell you about. Life is borning. Sorry...
