THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME (Trip Summary Part 1)

Great. I wish I had updated daily like I had planned. Unfortunately, by the time we all went to bed every night, I was too tired to do anything but sleep. So now I'm going to try to summarize the days over a few days this week and, hopefully, I won't forget anything. Yeah, just writing that made me laugh. There were so many pictures taken of me sleeping, I probably don't even know what happened much of the time. I'm gonna try, though.

Saturday CeCe had an Oscar Mayer House Party. It's from a website that gets people to have friends over to try new products and then report back to the House Party people with opinions and photos. Oscar Mayer provided the hot dogs and condiments, and CeCe's friends brought 'sides'. Joel did an excellent job at the grill AND in the yard later with the kids. Yes, that's Joel on the bottom of the pile.

Teri took pictures of all of the people there, and this couple had a unique story that everyone was laughing about. It seems that Jenn had invited a bunch of friends over a while back and when her husband, James, got home she was out of the room. He didn't realize that, though, and came up behind 'her' and put his finger down the back of her pants, in her butt crack. That's when he found out that Jenn was in the other room. Lucky for him the recipient of his little 'love greeting' thought it was as funny as everyone else did and didn't hurt him!

After everyone left the party, we all decided to play Phase 10, which is a card game, for those of you who haven't heard of it before (like me). The night before, CeCe, Joel, Teri, and I played it and had a good time so we decided to play it again, but this time we let Adam, Rachel, and Carl play, too. During this game, I learned what 'stink holes' are (either mesh or holes with grommets in clothing, usually found under the arms) from Adam and Rachel. Rachel had stink holes in the shirt she was wearing. Nice, huh?

I also learned that Carl had 2 tickets to the gun show. That's all I'll say about that.

And then there was Teri. She does a great impression of her nail technician. So good that I almost peed my pants when she kept doing it. You'll have to ask her to do it. It's one of those 'gotta be there' things. Be sure she asks you if you want a pedicure. He he he he he...

More tomorrow...
