Saturday, me and a few of my friends went to a huge garage sale on the parking lot of the Family Arena in St. Charles. They have it every year and there’s a $5 per car admission. We met at Waffle House for breakfast and all piled in my car so we only had to pay one admission fee. It was fun and I got $20 worth of other peoples’ cast-offs. I bought a bobble-head Pee Wee Herman to go along with my bobble-head Beetle Bailey I got last year. Then later on I had my Fun & Games party at the Adrenaline Zone. There were 10 of us who played demolition ball and laser tag. I’m proud to say that both teams I was on won in each game. Afterwards, we all came back to the house and played trivia. Everyone was told to bring 5 trivia questions and I stipulated that this was going to be a friendly game so the questions should be something that they thought at least one other person would know the answer to. Obviously, I’ll need to come up with a better plan next time because out of 50 questions, Maggie, who was the winner, only got 23 right.
Sunday we met Mom, Jennifer, Ron, Janet, Ranya & Johnny at Spiro’s for Mother’s Day brunch. And surprise!!!Mom didn’t like it.
My best news is that Friday night I bought a new car for the first time in my life. I got a 2009 Chevy Malibu, that’s dark blue with a sunroof and free On-Star for a year. As soon as I pressed the button to get it all set up, I got suckered into buying 100 minutes for the hands-free phone service. Oh well, it was only $15! I already used the turn-by-turn navigation system to get to Spiro’s just to check it out. I’m hoping it works better than the Garmin I bought Jim!
A great weekend before getting down to the seriousness of mom’s surgery….
