sunny day

It's been a pretty good weekend and now it is sunny and warm and I get to do yard work. I should be ready to do yard work. I've been thinking/talking about it all winter. "I get to plant a garden." "It will be fun to plant stuff." And today I went and spent $100 on gardening utensils at Lowe's. But now I am feeling lazy. Can someone please come and use my utensils to get rid of all the weeds and then plant some pretty stuff? I realized I am not only lazy but I have no idea what I am doing. And when our yard looks like shit, it will be all my fault. Someone told me gardening was relaxing and helped to relieve stress. They must have been avid crack smokers.

Yesterday Jesse and I went to Holt for my family get together. My mom's side of the family is ridiculously close and we get together for every occasion, and for no occasion at all. It was nice to see everyone and I realized it is very nice to really like my family. Cousin Seth was there so that made it extra special. Seth, Jesse and I went to the Peanut Barrel in East Lansing to get a cocktail. It brought back so many memories and I felt really old. Seth and I used to go to the bar and talk about "relations" we had. Last night we talked about home owner bullshit until I put a stop to it. And I was yawning the whole time and I think we left by 10pm. Pathetic. I used to be so much fun. I can't believe how old I am.

Speaking of being old, if you are reading, please feel free to join me to celebrate my 38th birthday on Friday May 13. We will begin the festivities at Comerica Park and watch the Detroit Tigers play the Anaheim Angels of Los Angeles (is that their new name??). And then we will probably continue the festivities somewhere else. Perhaps the Comet Bar? Or maybe here on Parker St. We have karaoke here too you know!
