Syttende Mai

Well, Well, Well........ I do know I am not 21 anymore. This past weekend was the kick off of the town functions. It was Syttende Mai. Oh My!! It is always a good time, but this year it was an extra good time for me. It all started on Thursday night when we took Landon down the carnival for some rides since Luke and I would not be able to take him on Friday night. Boy oh Boy did he love the rides, the foot long, the mini doughnuts and the rides!! The think that I have now come to realize why my parents thought the carnival was a joke!! They are expensive and a rip off!!!!! You can blow 20 bucks and not even know it or have anything to show for it. Rides are not only 1 ticket by 2 or 3!!!! CRAZY!

Friday night Luke and I took Mom and Dad's car and went on the Mystery Car Cruise. It was fun, but I have to say that I had a few beers with my brother before hand and I didn't eat a lot so that is where the fun started!! Chad and Melissa were nice enough to take Landon for a few hours, which basically turned into the whole evening/night. It was fun. However, I ended up locking the keys to by Dad's Super bee in the trunk of the car. (And he has no spare set). It was all for another beer!!!!! I was sick to my stomach! So needless to say 2 hours later Dad had the back seat of the car removed and I had to wedge myself in the trunk of the car to get the keys. I will say that I have a bruise the size of a baseball, but I was able to reach the keys. We can sort of chuckle about it now, but it was not funny at the time.

So, today is Monday and I am still trying to recover from my outings 2 nights in a row. I am just not prepared for that anymore. I am fighting a cold now due to the 40 degree difference in temperature and Saturday and the Lack of sleep that I have gotten.

I guess you only live once and make the best of it.
