well, here it is, Saturday night, and it has already been a very busy--and very fun--weekend!  and just think, one more day to go!

last night, we went and hung out with our neighbors at BW3's...we played trivia and had fun...watching arm wrestling, bull riding, and truck racing! LOL!!  I really like to play the trivia games at BW3...i was actually surprized to see that a high score i had back in November was still the number one high score for that particular trivia game...that was neat...we'll have to see how long it stays there...:):)  they have awesome chicken and chili nachos there too...i'll eat those for my meal...Mmmmmmm! and their apple pie dessert is wonderful too! :)

well, we were out a little late, especially since we had to get up early for Tbone's soccer game this morning...oh well...it was still fun...T's game was fun too...they lost 6-4, and Tbone struggled today, because he was up so late last night with his parents...but at least we were not the ones crying when it was time to go home! :)  he was having fun playing a hangman type game at BW3's...he cried when Amber logged him off...hehehe!  but, since he was up so late, he did have a tough game...he let a few goals in...oh well...next week is a later game, and he'll be going to bed earlier...:):)

then, after Tbone's game, we went and watched our neighbors' son, Lucas' game...it was a really good game...they won.  they played the red team, and last time the 2 teams played, it got pretty ugly...coaches yelling, parents yelling...interesting!  nothing happened this time, though...guess that's a good thing...kids don't need to see the grownups acting like that...

after Lucas' game, we came home and got ready for the rest of the day...Amber was going to Medieval Times with her friend and we were going to Monster Jam (monster trucks) at the Allstate Arena...and then to the car show in Chicago...motorhead saturday, i guess you could say...i like watching the monster trucks...they are awesome...especially Gravedigger...I really think it would be neat to DRIVE--not ride in--one of those trucks...just once!  the show in Chicago was neat, but the one in Indy was better...there isn't much room in Allstate Arena...it was really tight...the turns and all, and not much room for stunts during the freestyle, but still entertaining...glad we went!  Gravedigger, USAF Afterburner, Taz, Donkey Kong, Devastator, Blue Thunder, Iron Warrior, and Black Stallion were there...Tbone really likes Gravedigger too...it was a god time...

after the Monster Jam, we headed to the car show...that was fun...it was a lot different than last year though...not as many neat concept cars, and it had more of a car dealer feel...last year there were a lot more of the "cars you could never afford" and concepts...it was also kind of different, because lst year, i was LOOKING for a car...this year, it was more just looking to see what was new...which was still very fun...i was a little disappointed that the Chevy Volt concept was not there...i really wanted to see that one...that figures...just my luck.  but i did get to see the Audi R8...i had read about them in a magazine at the hair place, and thought they were neat, and then I saw the one in the superbowl commercial...the one that spoofed the infamous "horse scene" from the Godfather...it is a neat car...the engine is in the back...you can see it through a hatch...maybe one day...they're only 140K!  Maybe i'll buy one tomorrow! LOL!!!  No, i shouldn't say that...i don't want my blue to get jealous! hehehe!  (ok, yes, i am one of "those people" who name their cars...Blue is not the official name yet.  i have to wait until we get to know eachother better and i think of a name that fits the car's personality...havent gotten to that point yet...takes a while...).  I think that me and "blue" will be happy together for quite a while.  :)

well, right now i am reading The Lovely Bones..by Alice Sebold...so far it is really good...some of if is a little disturbing, but so far it is worth reading...i'll have to let you know once i am done...yes...this book made my cry already, and i'm not even 1/2 way into it...oh, well..seems like everything i read lately makes me cry...

oh well, it's getting late, and i'm tired after such a long day, so guess it's time to sign off...maybe i should get some pictures posted to go with this blog and the last one...Hmmmm....yes i should...

till next time...take care and God Bless...
