All in all, Memorial Day weekend was pretty good. Amanda came down Friday night, and we spent all day Saturday walking around Ames. We probably (definitely) spent way too much money eating out, but we had a good time. Then Sunday, we went to my nephew’s graduation and open house. I at way too much pizza, cookies, and mints. Today we had grilled chicken and the family staple of scalloped corn (great, my regular journal entries now center around food).
So… I’ve spent about 5 minutes of my entire life on a skateboard. This morning I completely wiped out just trying to stand on the stupid thing. No more. I claim I missed the age where I could learn to do this, and will just resign myself to bikes, cars, and busses. Time for bed with a bloody elbow and bruised hip! Though I did play some basketball this weekend and remembered how to shoot and actually get the ball in the hoop. Real life is interesting once in awhile!
