Labor Day...

Note: I think I went a little comma happy. It's late and I don't want to change anything.

I thought I was going to spend this weekend just chillin' in my room, making it a movie weekend. But alas, it was not to be. What was to be an uneventful weekend became anything but, sort of. On Friday evening my friend and I made plans for me to visit her on Saturday. I arrived at her house, and off we went to the Santa Rosa Junior College, to watch the first football game of the season. I was super excited to attend the game, as I have not been to one in years. We met up with one of Mic' friends and entertained ourselves by walking around the campus, talking about food, and checking out the cute guys. Fast forward a couple of hours, the game finally commenced!!! The first couple of quarters weren't that eventful. I thought a couple of the calls the 'zebras' made were very silly. The third and fourth quarters were exciting. The home team got two touchdowns and won the game. However, the thing that got every one's undivided attention, happened off the field. Two of the SRJC players got into a...shall we say 'heated' debate over something that happened on the field earlier. One of the guys happened to be Mic's boyfriend and the other guy was his roommate. So even though his team won, the post game dinner turned out to be a rather tense affair. Mic, myself, and her friend tried to make light of the situation, but the guy was having none of it. I met up with my friends at Mic's BF's apartment where all heck broke loose. The BF and his roommate got into another argument that turned ugly quick. Now I know that boys will be boys, but come on!!! The next then Mic and I know, the two guys are challenging each other to an all out brawl. While all of this was going on, I noticed the guy's apartment was directly above a frozen yogurt shop. Now I am all for that sort of stuff and I headed in. I was about to make a purchase when Mic came in and said it was time to go. Great I thought...and I didn't even get the yummy dessert. The following twenty minutes were quite possibly the most uncomfortable minutes of my life I have never heard so much swearing in a short period of time. I couldn't get out of that car fast enough when it was parked. My plan at that time was to just leave, but I stayed as my friend was visibly upset by the events that had taken place. To top it off, the BF got kicked out of his apartment and we went back later to retrieve his things. By then I was determined to leave and get back home. I was tired after being in the sun all day and I didn't want to deal with anymore of the drama. Holy Cow! Anyway, I got back home...finally!...and didn't actually get to sleep til about 2 a.m. Maybe that had to due with the fact that I downed a Red Bull for the ride home. I did manage to wake up early the same morning with the determination to complete the task at hand....changing my room around. My employers weren't home so with my music playing loudly, I set out to undertake this rather large scale endeavour. After two hours of constantly moving large objects around. I completed the activity and I must admit that I enjoy the new view. On Labor Day, I totally slept in...isn't that what you're supposed to do on holidays? I made it the 'Keeping Up Appearances' marathon. So with a Boston cream pie and root beer at the ready, I watched the entire series. Took an afternoon drive and enjoyed the changing of the the season. It's wonderful to see the leaves change color and smell the burning of wood in the evening. This is perhaps one of my favorite seasons. While it is far more beautiful to witness this event in Utah...California has its own beauty as well. I am still waiting for it to rain here....The kids and I found this huge, ugly looking bug with super long antennas. We were trying to figure out what kind of bug it was, then it flew away. We made our own 'Grand Canyon'. You know, sometimes playing with kids just freaking rocks!!:) So that's what happened this year during Labor Day. I have to say that I prefer going to the Iron County Fair and Parade over this kind of stuff anyday. Having a wonderful day...Hope you are too! Peace out!
