When It Rains It Pours

Seriously, we go from doing absolutely nothing to everything all rolled into one weekend.  Of course life works that way though.  We were so busy last weekend that Andy actually said "when it rains it pours."

Friday
On Friday night I got to use the gift Andy gave to me back on our first wedding anniversary.  It was two tickets to see Jim Breuer at Stand Up Live in downtown Phoenix.  I must say, this was a GREAT time.  We got downtown early to have dinner, but since we couldn't decide on a place we just ate at the club.  That was a good thing because we ended up sitting right next to the stage since we got there so early.  Andy purchased tickets to the 7:30 show and when we arrived I noticed there was a 9:45 show, so I asked Andy why he bought us the early tickets with the older people.  He didn't think I would be awake for the 9:45 show.  Plus, we are now part of the "older" people crowd.  When we left the club I thanked Andy for purchasing the 7:30 tickets because this old girl was tired and ready to go home. 

Jim Breuer is absolutely hysterical. When it was over I was kind of bummed that it took us 7 years of living in Phoenix to get to a comedy show.  I used to go to the Comedy Club in Madison and I don't know why we never went here.  Well, from now on I would like to add attending a comedy show to our list of things to do on a boring weekend.

Saturday
On this lovely evening we ventured down to south Chandler (AKA Mexico because it is so far from our house) to visit our friends Mike and AJ.  AJ had her family in town and asked us to join them for dinner to meet her family from South Carolina.  It was a good time and her family is so sweet.  I look forward to seeing them again at their wedding next summer. It ended up being a late night where I lost to a game of cornhole to AJ's brother and I had to drive us home since I didn't drink much. Two nights down and one to go.

Sunday
Normally I don't do much on Sunday evenings because I am a believer in getting a good night sleep on Sunday to start the week off right.  This time was a little different.  While Andy watched football with Tom in the backyard I ended up with my girlfriends for dinner and to see the play Les Miserables.  It was definitely not one of my favorite plays and it was probably at the bottom of my list as far as plays that I have liked.  Minus the fact that we arrived late and I almost tumbled down the rows of seats; in pitch black; in my 5 inch wedge shoes, it was more depressing that I like to see.  Hence the name Les Miserables...yes, I know the name kind of gives it away that it's not going to be upbeat and happy, but I mainly signed up for the evening to spend the time with some great ladies.  It's always the best time to get together with girlfriends to catch up and laugh.  I look forward to this time with my girlfriends every time we do plan a get together because I always have the best time and they are such a wonderful group of ladies.  Yes, you are ladies!  It was a late Sunday for me by the time I got home and got to bed, but I have survived the week so far.

Now, that it has poured at our house I don't foresee any rain in our future until mid October.
