So let me tell you about my day.

In actuallity, we are going to go back to yesterday, Friday the 23rd. I go to work at 3:30 and I see my boss pulling everything, EVERYTHING, off the shelf. And as I walk towards him, I look down the aisle and I see everything off the shelf and people in red and khaki pulling it all off the shelf. So I go up to Eric and ask what the fuck was going on (well, not like that). It just so happens that our refridgeration system for our meat and dairy coolers basically broke and everything had to be thrown out. So I set to helping pull everything off the shelf, and start cleaning...I didn't have anything else to do! Then finally at 6:30ish, the coolers cooled down enough to put product back on the shelf. It took me three hours to put out what we had...and it didn't even fill everything, it was just the hamburger, steaks, chicken, and pork. So my boss asked me if I could work this morning, and let me tell you about my day today...

12:00am (midnight): Fall asleep
4:00am: Alarm goes off, snooze gets hit.
4:10am: Alarm goes off again, and gets turned off
5:00am: Get to work
5:00-8:00am: Purge the back freezers (thankfully they didn't go off line)
8:00am: Leave Target
8:15am: Cook breakfast, watch SportCenter
9:00am: Leave for Cow Town
9:30am-5:00pm: Work at Cow Town
5:00pm: Leave Cow Town
5:30pm: Get home
5:30-present: Sit in front of computer half asleep because there isn't anything on TV


...so how was your day?

tired and red

I have had a day to recover from a long weekend and I am still very tired. I had a blast on our float trip this weekend. Now, you may be asking yourself 'Mike, what is a float trip?' And I'll tell you. It is sitting in a canoe with a bunch of people you know, drinking and paddling on occasion. It was great, however, it was tiring. We left Wichita about 5:30 Thursday afternoon, drove until 1:00 in the morning when we got to our campsite. We woke up six and a half hours later, broke camp and headed to the outfitter where we picked up our canoes and we headed to the river. There, we packed for two days on the river full of drinking, sun, drinking, camping along the river, drinking, paddling, drinking...I think you get the point. I got a little sunburnt on the tops of my legs and on my shoulders, but it was worth it. The first picture on this post was taken on the second day on the river...Andrea took it. She also took the picture of Marc and Kim...they were doing a dance/dry hump along the river when we stopped. And she also took this picture of me right before we left on the first morning, it was 8:00 in the morning...and yes, that is a flask, and yes it is full of alcohol, Makers Mark to be exact.

so tired!

We got back from being up in Grand Island Nebraska tonight. I played three games of 1860s base ball with the base ball club from Wichita. I had a blast, the weather coroporated, I didn't hurt myself (other than really really sore muscles), and we won two of the three games we played. I played 3rd base all three games, a switch from playing short stop in little leauge. Andrea, Kim, and Marc came up with me as well. They watched some of the games I played, but they mostly walked around and did other stuff. Andrea got some pictures with her digital camera, so I was happy with it.

busy couple of weekends

The next two weekends are well deserved for me. First, I am heading up to Nebraska this weekend to play some 1860s base ball. I can't wait. We're playing three games, it is suppose to be nice and sunny out, and I got Andrea and Marc and Kim to tag along. And on the way back, we are stopping to see a huge ball of twine. I don't know why, Kim just wanted to.

Then next weekend we are going with a group of people on a float trip. Just to simply explain what it is...camping, drinking, and floating down a river. Can it get any better than that? PLUS (that's right, there is a plus) it is only 54 days until we are going home. Excellent.
