I had a fun-filled 24 hours yesterday with Cathy. She came over after youth group and spent the night and day at my house. We had a major ice cream craving on the way home from YG, so we asked my brothers if we could stop at Kroger and get some ice cream. They agreed and we bought two half gallons of Bryer's - chocolate chip cookie dough, and peanut butter tracks. We ate almost all of both containers within the 24 hours (my brother's helped us a bit). So, we were definitely on a sugar-high for most of her visit. Our other activities of the night and day included watching part of Spiderman, folding a bunch of clothes for my mother (ain't we such helpful gals? ;-)), and swimming in tanning...err...burning for about three hours. My legs were so burnt last night that I couldn't even put on a pair of jeans! But my sunburns quickly turn into tans, so they don't hurt this morning. And I have some lovely tan lines for almost the first time this summer! Well, I guess I've had the classic 'farmer's tan' and 'sock tan' etc...but still. To top off our evening, we went to a Fever game last night. I 'won' two tickets a couple weeks ago at Symphony on the Prairie by spinning a wheel. I know, I know, me and my luck. ;-) (j/k) I always seem to go on these last-minute adventures with Cathy. And they always turn out to be very interesting experiences. Our original seats were in row 16, so we were pretty close. But during the second half, we got up to get some cotton candy. While we were in line, some drunk guy said he was leaving and gave us two front row tickets! So we were almost on the court! That was pretty cool. Cathy and I were talking about how envied we'd be if we had those seats for a Pacer's game! It would have been WAY better if the game wasn't so boring. No offence to anyone out there, but gi'rls basketball is pretty unentertaining to watch. And the mascot was VERY disturbing, I must say. I won't even begin to describe some of the things he/she/it did. Now, being the uneducated gi'rls we are, Cathy and I didn't know that Fever games only include two halves. So, we were sitting there after the second half waiting for the half-time show. When we saw everyone was leaving, we decided to ask a lady if it was over. She kind of regarded us as sad, strange little gi'rls and told us yes, the game only had two halves and was over. We called my mom and waited for her to pick us up. As we were waiting, a security person came up to us and said, "It's time to go home, gi'rls. We're going to start locking up." We ended up being able to wait inside the main doors. All the while, Cathy was freaking out and talking about how they were probably going to kick us out and all the horrible things that could happen to us at night in downtown Indy. (hehe I love you, Cathy ;-)) My mom finally picked us up and brought Cathy home. On the way home, it started raining incredibly hard. My mom was literally going 35 mph on the highway because it was so intense. It was amazingly awesome and frightening at the same time. The wind and rain and lightning were at times almost blinding. And the thunder was pretty scary, too. We got home safely to find out we had no power. It came on later in the night. I was just thinking that I don't see how anyone can witness that kind of storm and not realize the awesome power of God! Well, to end this post, I'm just going to say that I think I've been complaining a lot lately. So, I'm trying to work on that. Alrighty, that's all I gots to say! :-D Verse of the post: Quote of the post: Song of the post: Charity | 4:44 am Comments-[ comments.] |
