Mani Pedi

Amanda took me to get a manicure and pedicure today for my belated Birthday present. I've only had two pedicures and one manicure in my life not counting today's, but this one by far is the best. Those Asians know how to do nails. I don't understand though why most of the nail salons are staffed with Asians. Is it a cultural thing?? My previous manicure and pedicures were done by Caucasian Americans and they sucked. There has to be a story around why Asians Americans and nails go hand in hand. It is a good thing though that having your nails done is a pretty straight forward thing that doesn't require much communication. The language barrier can be a little tricky. This particular salon that we went to served wine during our pedicure. Nice touch! They actually had a wide screen TV playing karaoke videos of mostly 80's music with none of the original artists. Interesting. Maybe if everyone had enough wine they may break out in song, I don't know. It didn't happen when we were there. They were all very nice and my nail tech did speak English. Next time though I'm taking an interpreter with me so I can find out what they are saying to each other when they are pointing and laughing. It's probably something about toe jam.

Thanks Amanda for the new cultural experience.

No Baby Bunnies!!!!!

Today is the day that Toby would have had babies if Happy successfully nailed her. So thankfully Happy didn't have a Happy ending. All is well in Bunnyville.

Happy Birthday Amber

Happy Birthday Amber! Why aren't you on the Presidental ballot. I would vote for you. Maybe your not quite old enough yet. I've been hearing great things about you and how well you are doing in school. Keep it up and one day maybe you will be President, or whatever you want. Have you thought about rocket science? Everyone here in Indiana wishes you a Very Happy Day! Love and Kisses

Hey look! This is my 100th blog.

Happy Birthday Lauren

It's midnight September 10th. I wanted to be the first one of the day to wish you a Happy Birthday! What are you going to do today??? Maybe you should wrap yourself up in that blankey that Kenny got you and play hooky from work. Whatever you do I hope you have a wonderful day. Love and Kisses from all of us Hoosiers.

Final Wedding Wrap Up

I need to address a few more details in my original blog about the wedding. Namely the wet sheets and forgetfulness. The night before the wedding, Kyle came grumbling out of the room he was staying in saying something about someone pissing in his bed. He went to get into bed and found it very wet with pee pee. Not sure how it got that way, but they are assuming it was from one of the children that had been at the rehersal dinner. Gross! Robbie to the rescue with a clean set of sheets. Regarding the forgetfullness, Shane forgot the ring. They got to the church and Shane had the ring box, but no ring. It slipped out of his pocket and into the couch cushion. I'm a little sketchy on how it got out of the box in the first place. So, Kyle married Carrie using Shane's wedding ring. I wonder, does that give Shane any kind of benefits????
Finally the Math..... 1 liter is 1000cc
1.75 liter is 1750cc
1 cup is 240cc so, there is approximately 7 1/3 cups of tequilla in each of the jugs used to make the marguaritas.
4 jugs of tequilla is 7 liters or just shy of 30 cups
Based on the recipe we had and all of the people trying to figure it out, I don't know how they turned out so good. I was forbidden to have any though. Bryan was afraid I would do something stupid.

More Wedding Details

Lauren wanted a few more details regarding the wedding. Especially about the naked men and broken bones. I didn't get to personally see completely naked men, but apparently Kyle had a streaking episode that was caught on video. He had a minor injury to his foot when he had to dive into a ditch to avoid the cops, or maybe he just fell down because he was drunk. I'm not sure. One of the groomsmen (Andy) wanted to make us think he was naked by partially exposing himself to Robbie and I from the loft of the house we were staying in. We were so excited. Shane had the possible broken bone. Again, I wasn't present to actually witness this incident, but apparently Shane tripped over part of a large wagon in the dark. There is some question as to whether he fell because he was shit face drunk, or if it was a legitimate accident. If I had to guess I would say probably a little of both. His thumb area swelled up like a balloon. I still don't know if he ever got it x-rayed or not. Robbie, Lisa and I witnessed a girl dirty dancing with her boyfriend and in an attempt at a squat manuever she ripped her pants from crotch to knee. Very classy. That however did not compare to the large girl at Shane and Dina's wedding that was doing some kind of humping thing on all fours across the dance floor. Kyle and Shane have some interesting friends.

Video Montage

I lied, I couldn't go to sleep till I got this video posted. I love it! I got a new video camera at Amanda's recommendation called a FLIP video. It's tiny like a camera and it records up to 1 hour of video. You can download it to your computer and the software is built right into the camcorder, then you can do fun stuff like this video. Enjoy the Godferrin Wedding video!

Kyle & Carrie's Wedding

What a great weekend. It had all the elements of the perfect wedding. Let's recap. There was hugging, lots of laughing, drinking, eating, crying, family drama, broken bones, more drinking, dancing, wardrobe malfunctions, forgetfulness, naked men, wet sheets, math, singing, falling down and then more laughing and drinking, arguing, stress, and only 2 bathrooms for around 10-12 people. It doesn't get any better than that. I'll elaborate more later, for now I have to catch up on my sleep. After all I'm 49 now, I need my rest. Check out the pictures in the photo gallery.
