Yippee! It’s Monday, and for once, it’s a good one!! This weekend was ok. It definitely had its rough and/or stressful points, but all in all, it was good!
Friday night, Cletus and I went to church to give blood. He got through it all with no problem cause of his donor card, but I had to actually sit down and answer a bunch of questions first. One question was ‘Have you been out of the country in the last 12 months?’ Well…yeah! I went to Ireland in October for a week, and I had actually kinda forgotten about my trip to Cancun last January. When that came up, she asked me where in Mexico I had gone. Well, we stayed in Cancun the whole week, but we drove to Chichen Itza for a day to check out the Mayan Ruins (very cool by the way, I highly recommend it to everyone). Well, come to find out, Cancun and Chichen Itza are both high Malaria risk areas. Now, here’s the kicker…I came back from Cancun on 1-21-07…the date Friday was 1-18-08…I couldn’t donate blood because it had only been 361 days. I can go back in 2 more days and donate without a problem. That sucked…
Saturday, my mom and I went to the Rock Financial Showplace for the Bridal Expo. Once again, I entered a bunch of drawings - and I’m actually surprised that my email account isn’t completely blowing up. After that, I headed back down this way to meet Cletus and his cousin (and some random guy that was sitting at another table…I don’t know, talk to Cletus about that one) at Hooter’s, then to a quick meeting with one of the dj’s that I had talked to at the show. After the meeting, we decided to make it a “low-key” night. We just stayed in and played some Guitar Hero for a couple hours. I’ve only played one other time, so I was pretty happy with the 94% I got on one of the songs!
Sunday brought church, a somewhat heated discussion, and some heavy lifting. Cletus and I got an entertainment center from a friend of my mom. We had to drive out, get the thing out of the basement, into his truck, then into my apartment. Now, I didn’t do much lifting until it got to my apartment…hehehehee. However!! Cletus rigged it so that I can now record American Idol on Tuesday’s since I am not home to watch it. Here’s the highlight of the weekend though…we were sitting in my apartment, and my phone rang. It showed up as an ‘unknown id’ which I never answer. Luckily they left a message. When I called back I found out that my name had been drawn for a 3-day, 2-night stay at Nassau, Costa Rica, or Cancun. YYEEEEESSSS!!!! We have 2 years to use it, so it will be available for our honeymoon. Yippee!! It’s only accommodations, but it is all-inclusive. We can extend it at our own expense if we want to though.
Sweet huh????
