Boxer Fiesta!

This weekend was great! No call, beautiful weather...can't ask for much more!

Friday night was fairly uneventful. It was a long week at work so I just wanted to chill. I sat down to read my new book and was asleep soon after!

Saturday I worked the morning shift at Bagels Forever, so I was done by 12:3o. It was Kile's birthday, so I went over there to take him out for Birthday Breakfast at Clevelands, but it was closed for remodeling! :( Bummer. So off to Mickey's Dairy Barn we went...remembering after it took over 10 min to find a parking spot that the Badger Red vs. White game was going on. Eventually we found a spot and had breakfast at Mickeys. Mickey's has never impressed me too much, but the food that morning was pretty good...I think I was just extra hungry! Then my roommate, Jenna, and I went out to the county compost pile and got some compost for the backyard. It's pretty much her project, but I said I'd give her a hand. She got some grass seed as well and planted that in the back. We'll see if we can get anything to grow... Later in the afternoon I went over and helped the Birthday Boy with switching the hard top on his Jeep for the soft top. Not too difficult and other than the soft top not being in prime condition, the switch went smoothly. Andy had some people over for a cookout, so I went over there with Lambeau had some good food then went out downtown with Kile for his Bday. Started at Blue Velvet for a couple drinks and a Jagerbomb, then met up with Jenna outside Brothers, went to Johnny O's, had more beer and another Jagerbomb, saw Gino and chatted with her! I haven't seen her in a LONG time. Seems she's rooming with my least favorite person of all time next year...guess Gino will join in and start hating me as well... So, the night ended at the Nitty Gritty with free beer for Kile and a $3 Bicardi mixer for me, then it was bartime and the night was over... I hope Kile had a good time!

Sunday was a lazy day in the morning...I caught up on my sleep, went to Bagels Forever with Kile for a breakfast bagel (YUM!) Then the rest of the day was just waiting to go to the dog park at 1pm. Today was a Boxer Fiesta at the dog park. The people with boxers I know met up with the new people with boxers I met through Craigslist and we went to the big dog park in Verona. There were 4 boxers plus Popeye for the first round, then Chili, Popeye and Lola left and Chopper and Trina showed up for a bit more. I got some great pics and the weather could not have been better! I thought Popeye wasn't going to make it, but he was a trooper and pulled through. Everyone that was there was great and their boxers are great too. I'm so sad to finally meet these Boxer people just to move away in July! :( Hopefully there are some equally cool Boxer people in East Lansing! Didn't get home from the park til 3:45! Played a little catch with Kile later in the evening, felt good. Softball starts NEXT WEEK already! FUN! :)

Now I'm exhausted and so is Lambeau. Gotta get conditioned for this nice weather so I can enjoy it! Oh! And I drove with the top down today! 2nd time this year! Lambeau does fine in the back seat with the top down, very cool!
