My high school band teacher Mr. Spry turned 50 when I was a senior.  Well maybe it was 60 because he retired that year. 

Anyway it was a nice round number, so Mr. Braue got all of the band together in the parking lot of Meijers and we all marched down some random streets to get to Mr. Spry's home.

He didnt have a clue there was going to be a surprise, but his wife got a bunch of food and beverages for everyone to drink after our band came rolling down the streets playing happy birthday.  The whole neighborhood was partying with us and we shocked a lot of people.

It was such a fun and unique experience to do such a thing.  When you think about it.  That type of experience is once and a lifetime!  So cool and soo much fun.  I miss marching band!

Before Kirt and I got married, everyone where I worked brought thier presents to work instead of to the wedding. One day I received a toaster oven, one day I received some steak knives and one day I received a fondue pot. Well on that particular day, we had a huge snow storm. I had to leave work early. It took me almost two hours just to get through the intersection at Long Lake Road and Woodward Avenue. I was almost back to our apartment in Waterford and had to pee so bad. The roads were horrible and I thought if I tried to stop somewhere I would get stuck in the snow. I contemplated wadding up my coat between my legs and peeing on it. (it was a lovely lime green velveteen double breasted coat I might add) and didn't like that idea. So, eureka, I thought, the fondue pot. You must imagine the traffic is going amout one mile an hour. I reached around and got my new wedding present and opened it, put it under my lap, and proceeded to have the most . . . Read More..

As any woman who has ever had a baby knows, things can get a little crazy. Especially when you have two in diapers. Well, back when Noel was 1 1/2 and Kev was about 6 months old, I used to feel a little crazy sometimes. I even had some anxiety attacks etc. Every Thursday, I used to go bowling on a "ladies" league. The kids got to go in a nursery while I bowled. Also on Thursday, it was "taco day" at this dive bar on Dixie Highway. I would meet Kirt there occassionally before bowling with the kids and we would have tacos. This one particular Thursday, we got there, got served our tacos, and when I went to eat mine, it already had a bite in it. Kirt didn;t believe me and told me I was having a crazy day. I guess I believed him so I began to eat the taco. Just then the bartender yelled out, "Hey! Where's my taco?". Just goes to show don't always believe someone when they tell you your'e crazy. So now when we are having a particular crazy day, Kirt and I will ask , "Where's my taco?"

About two weeks ago, I held my first LAN party at my house. This was pretty cool, considering that I am the one with all the stuff to connect the X-Boxes together.

So, we began with two teams. They were Jenni, Monger, and Josh against Ben, Doug, and I. We pwned all the matches we played and eventually switched Doug with Jenni. After that trade we stilled pwned because Ben and I are just plain awesome at games.

At around 6 o'clock, Jenni left for work and we began to play the Wii. Later we decided to play on the PS2 and pretty much just stayed there until we got bored.

So, lately I have been going to more school plays and other places. I think it is do to have more friends that have been asking me.



While in Civics class, Jenni asked me if I wanted to go see a play at Kettering. I agreed to go after she said she could give me a ride.



Jenni picked up Abby, Mike, Kevin, and I and we went to see the play. It was called "Who's on First" and was a very funny play. It was about this one person's wish to killing the man that he thinks his wife is with. It turns out she was just taking magic lessons. So, the whole play was about this same thing happening over and over in many different ways.



At one point they were doing a mob style version and there were sirens. Mike's only comment was "Hey, it's Detroit." That was really funny.
