Josh and I finally stopped being homebodies for one night (well, we attempted at a whole day, actually)!
We went to part of Greenville/Spartanburg airport (FedEx Facility) to volunteer at the Special Olympics fundraiser that my company was helping to sponsor (the reason it was @ the airport was b/c FedEx was sponsoring also, and they had a plane-pull... aka crazy people pulling a plane with huge ropes. Turns out that they decided to wrap up our part just a little after we got there, so instead of running kiddie booths, we helped pack it in for the day. Afterward, we walked around to the rest of the booths, Josh ate a huge turkey leg(!), I had cherry shaved-ice, then we left.
Next, we went to Niki's first house (sister-in-law) that she is trying to sell and checked out the outside. We couldn't get in yet, but I love the outside. Though, we can't have a pool unless we get a small one! :( The yard is sloped, had a huge tree in the middle (like twice the size of the psychotic tree in Poltergeist), and it doesn't seem large enough to me. That really is a factor for me for house hunting... whether or not we can have a pool, b/c I REALLY want one. But, just the fact that Niki is willing to sell it to us for what she owes on it is weighing heavier on me than a pool. I can blow up a four footer pool with an air compressor, you know?!?
The reason we couldn't get inside the house was b/c Niki was hanging out with friends. She invited us out downtown Saturday night, and neither one of us could really pass that up. It has been quite awhile since we'd done anything like that, so we were pretty gung-ho about it. We went home, got ready, and waited on Niki's call, which was about 20 minutes after we got home - perfect timing, truthfully. We went out to Wild Wings, where the music kind of blew that time... and then on to Sharkie's Pub, which all of us liked much better. We met a lot of Niki's co-workers - Melissa 1, Melissa 2, Sherry, Darryl, Angie - nice to meet all of you/see you again (Angie)!! Hey, also - Darryl and Niki - thanks for the shot rounds! It was a good night, but Josh had to get up early on Sunday, so we had to call it a night quicker than we wanted. :( All in all - good times!
Geez - 1AM - I switched to 8:30 schedule at work from now on instead of my regular 10AM - I only work @10 on Mondays so my other guy can go to class in NC. What a drive at 5:30 anyway! It's bad enough getting through downtown G'ville during rush hour, much less across the SC/NC border.
I've got to get used to this early-bird schedule quickly - I almost fell asleep @ work today. That would seriously blow goats though - someone at work got fired yesterday, and @%#*& had been there over 5 years - I guess no one is exempt - sometimes you just need a wake-up call like that to get your act together, right?
Speaking of which - goodnight!
