about last night

Lest you start believing I'm actually super cool and spend my Friday nights doing mature adult things, let me set you straight about last night:

 You see, Matt's sister Amy (above) is visiting from Vermont this weekend. So we thought we needed to do something really wild and crazy...ya know, show her a good time and all (like she didn't live in Athens the first 23 years of her life or so).

 So obviously, we decided to travel back in time and hit up the local SKATING RINK for the night! Sorry for the blurry pictures-- WE WERE ROLLING.

 And it would have been completely wrong to leave out Mollyanne, my fellow lover of skating. So she came, too.

 ...which is how the four of us cool cats (along with Matt's parents!!) ended up spending the evening (okay, barely an hour) at the skating rink in the midst of Teen Night. And it was awesome. And terrifying (all those young buckaroos whizzing around, showing off, weaving through us old folks). And surprisingly exhausting. But a lot of fun.

We were the oldest people (except for one creepy dad) by over a decade, but whatev!! We still made it! I was actually pretty surprised by the number of cool teenagers there. Apparently the skating rink is still what's up. Which is good. Better than video games or killing people or whatever else it is teenagers do these days.

In conclusion, my Friday night was awesome.

The rest of the weekend promises to be pretty awesome as well. Like I said, Amy is here with my beloved nephew Timmy!!

 And since he is apparently anti taking pictures with me, I had very limited shots to choose from. So I picked one where he looks cute and I am blurry, because you have plenty of chances to see non-blurry pictures of me. But look how cute my nephew is!! So I plan on stealing all of his giggles and hugs this weekend.

Also, it is FOOTBALL TIME!!! Wooooooo!!!!

 GO DAWGS!!!

Annnd....it is a three-day weekend!! So what's not to love?

Closing and unrelated thought: So about that Odd Life of Timothy Green movie... how insanely dangerous would it be for me to see that? I have it on good authority that I will be doing the Ugly Cry within the first five minutes of the movie, and it basically won't stop until like...hours after the credits roll...and yet somehow I will feel inspired? I just don't know how I feel about that. But supposedly the movie does a fantastic and accurate portrayal of the emotions the infertile couple deal with as they deal with the fact that they will never be able to have children, and handles the whole topic really realistically...so I'd kind of like to see/support that...but then, yeah, the constant tears...don't I already spend enough of my time crying? So I'm a bit torn.
