The week has been busy and went extremely fast.
Tuesday night, my team, the Frozen Ropes, played our first game in the summer league. Our pitchers were both gone, which put us in a predicament. I volunteered to give it a whirl. Amazingly enough, I'm a pretty good slow-pitch pitcher. Even had a few strike-outs. It was extremely hot, however. The heat index that day was 107 and the humidity percentage was way up there. Not my cup of tea. However, the night ended up cooling off just enough for us to pull out a 10-3 victory. It was super fun.
Wednesday night we had a get-together at my boss's house. Lots of my co-workers and I met and brought food for our burger bash. We played lots of games and had a fun night. I was so tired by the end of the night, so I went straight home to bed while the others decided they weren't done partying. However, they were hurting the next day, but I know when to stop.
Thursday night was my first Saltdogs game experience. Becky got us hooked up with VIP parking, and seats in Suite 310, complete with air conditioning! The game wasn't much, but Becky, Jared, and I had a good time just kickin' a few back and catching up. The hunger then got to us so we traveled to Carlos O'Kelly's for some enchiladas and margaritas.
Then Friday morning came. I called Windstream a few days ago to set up our internet connection. They set an appointment to come in this morning between 8am-12pm. Which was fine with me because normally I don't have to be into work until 10am. So, I decided to get up right at 8 in case they came right away. Then came 9. Then 10. Then 11. My frustration was at it's peak until I was dialing their number to complain. Just then, at 11:58a.m. I get a phone call. They came at the last possible minute, which, I must say WAS between 8 and 12, but come on! I just thought they'd be there at like 10 or something. Anyway, I finally got to work today at 1pm and I'm still leaving at 6, I don't care if I don't work 8 hours today. Jared, Becky, and I are going out to eat at Skeeter Barnes. I haven't been there since Becky's birthday last year. It was so good! They brought her out some Bread Pudding dessert, which Becky renamed "Deliciousness." It is beyond yummy.
Not quite sure what the weekend holds. Becky and I are heading to Omaha tomorrow to do some shopping. She needs some shoes and dress pants, and since I'm her personal shopper, I have to go too. =) It's okay, I enjoy shopping. Then we'll probably head to Yutan to visit Derek. We'll be checking out "Yutan Days" and see everything that town has to offer. So, it should be a fun weekend, whatever happens.
Baby Update: Angie has been super uncomfortable. The doctor took her off of her "stop the contractions" medication, so she could pop any day now. =) They think the baby weights about 8.5 lbs. Ang said that Baby Sup has a huge head. I can't wait to meet him or her! Yay!

Ribs. I had ribs for lunch.
Had to start things off with a quote from "Anchorman." I've been craving ribs, but have not gotten any yet. Famous Daves is calling my name, but for now I have to tune it out because I've got to work for a few more hours.
I had a really fun weekend. I got into town Friday evening around 8:30 p.m. so I didn't get to do anything to kick off Alumni weekend. But, on Saturday morning, Angie and I went out to the fairgrounds and watched Teresa and her v-ball team fail miserably. It was still kinda fun to watch. Shortly after they lost, I traveled to Cassie's to see what had changed at her house. I was super surprised at what I saw. She's been a busy bee! I'm so proud of her! The house is looking great. Beck and her were painting when I got there so I grabbed a roller and started working. After lunch we were back at it for the remainder of the afternoon. We got a lot done and Becky even mowed the lawn just before it started to rain. We had a good time, even though we were working! Something about renovations just doesn't feel like work sometimes.
Angie is getting closer and closer to having Baby Sup! Joel is convinced that she'll have her/him this weekend, but I'm hoping she can hold out until July 3rd because that's when I'll be home next! Of course I'll go home if she has the babe earlier, but it would just be so convenient if it worked out that way. I'm also excited to go back and help Cass get some more stuff done.
Saturday night was super fun. The night started off a little slow. Cass, Beck, and I ate supper at the Bowling Alley. I always get a Philly steak and cheese and french fries because they are so good! Then, as the hours passed, more and more people from our class showed up. We bowled a few games and then headed out to the Fairgrounds for the dance. The dance was super lame, but the drinks were flowing so we had a good time none-the-less. Got to talk to lots of people I haven't seen in a while. I think it's safe to say that a good time was had by all.
Sunday was Father's day. I got dad a $25 gift certificate to Duster's in Columbus, because I had NO idea what to get him. I feel like I always get him a t-shirt or a hat and I just wanted to do something different. So, now him and mom will have an excuse to get out of town and go eat somewhere nice. Dad also got the movies "Gran Torino" and "Valkyrie" so we order some pizza from Caseys (by the way, WORST PIZZA I'VE EVER HAD) and watched Gran Torino. It was SUCH a good movie. I highly recommend it. It was a great performance by Clint Eastwood, or Clint Westwood as my dad calls him. Ha ha very funny.
Work was rough today. I'm super tired and I drove back from home today, so I got 2 hours less sleep then I generally need. But, I guess that's kind of my fault. I'm just not looking forward to going home, unloading my car, unpacking, making supper, blah blah blah. Just a case of the Mondays I guess.
But, I have things to look forward to. I have a softball game tomorrow night (which may SUCK because it's going to be a heat index of at least 107, ouch), a staff party at my boss's place on Wednesday, I've got VIP box seats at the Saltdogs game on Thursday, which is also my mom's birthday, and Friday I may be going to Yutan for Yutan Days. We'll have to see. As long as Baby Sup doesn't come early, things should go smoothly.

the Lauritzen Gardens in Omaha, NE
Thought I'd post some pictures from Memorial Day weekend.
There are some good ones! Enjoy!

The Ring of Fire
And by that, i mean the burning ring of fire that is my body. I know I know, it's my own fault for not using enough sunblock. I randomly decided to go to the College World Series in Omaha yesterday with my friends Mike and Shannon. We left Lincoln around 11 and watched two games. One at 1pm, the other at 6pm. Hottest baseball games I've ever watched in my 23 years of living. It was ridiculous. No wind whatsoever. Sweltering. Literally. So anyway, enjoy the picture of that.
Not too much else going on. This weekend is my 5 year class reunion at BCHS. I know, whoptie doo, but I am excited to see some peeps. Even if no one else comes, I know that Cass, Bex, and Ash will be there and that's enough for me. =) We're just planning a simple gathering at Fairview Lanes, so I think it will be a good time, despite everyone else's bitching and moaning. Sometimes there are just those people who think that nothing is ever going to be fun. I am NOT one of those people, and I think this party has potential! So, screw you, fun-haters.
Also, this weekend would be Father's day, and I have NO idea what to get my pops. I feel like all I ever get him is a t-shirt or a hat. Lame. I need ideas! My mom's birthday is also next week, the 25th. She is a bit easier to buy gifts for because she actually gave me ideas. Yay mom!

fun-filled Friday
TGIF! I came into work early today so I could leave a little early. Yay! I'm also getting my hair cut today at 1pm. I just need something new. I was thinking about letting it grow again for awhile, but it's in that "in-between" phase and I decided that I hate it. So Jessica is going to fix me up today, bless you Jessica!
I'm also planning on doing some shopping today and/or tomorrow. Beck and I decided we need something fresh and new to wear to our 5 year class reunion next weekend in A-town. Oh boy. I actually am looking forward to it, though. We'll be gathering at the bowling alley for some food and beverages. Should be a good time.
My friend Jessica is coming back home to Nebraska from sunny California for a wedding. So, we're getting together on Sunday late afternoon at Bisonwiches. I've never eaten there, but I've heard the chips and cheese is to die for and if I don't get it I'm "un-American." So, I guess I'll be getting some chips and cheese! My buddy Holly (ha ha, no pun intended) is also going to be back in Nebraska from Texas! I'm super excited to see everyone. The weekend will go much too fast, I'm sure.
I'm still anxiously awaiting Baby Sup's arrival. Angie is getting bigger every day (so I'm told) and I am super excited. The nursery is Pooh themed. Becky got a Tigger puzzle for her birthday this year that we will be giving to Baby Sup when he or she arrives. It is SO hard to put together. It's one of those puzzles that is a bajillion little pictures, so it's quite a challenge. We've stayed up late this week trying to get as much done as possible. Hopefully we can get it done before the babe gets here. =) Things are going well at the Rec, not much new to report. Wishes for a pleasant weekend go out to all! P.S. Shannon and Andrew, have an awesome time in Canada! Also, BONNIE, I miss you. Let's get together, gf!

June Fizzerst
So, I don't know where May went. Honestly. I woke up today and it was June 1st, that's all I know. Obviously I've been super busy, which is basically true. The only time I'm on the internet is when I'm at work, therefore, the only time I can blog is when I'm at work. Becky and I are working on getting internet. It's just making the phone call to Windstream that's troubling us...and the fact that Becky is the only one with a desktop computer which means she needs a router....unless we get a wireless one...hmmm, there's a concept. I guess we should get with the times. =)
This weekend I went to Angie's first baby shower. It was SO cute. We played lots of little games and Ang got lots of cute gifts. After the shower I helped set up the baby's swing and highchair. They are sweet. Then, Joel, Ang, and I went to Columbus because Joel was craving McDonalds. Weird, I thought Angie was supposed to be craving things. Anyway, it was super fun. I also went to check out Cassie's new house this weekend. It's big, and they've got lots of work to do, but I know Cass will get it done and make it all cute. =)
We are busy again at work, so I've got to run, but I thought I'd put in a quick blog!
