The Most-Amazing-Weekend-of-All

Lol... oh this was an FANTASTIC weekend. Lots of playing and not a lot of work. The Most-Amazing-Weekend-of-All started with a night out at the roller derby thanks to the one and only Hutch. It was a blast and probably had the best people watching I have ever been lucky enough to be exposed to. The roller dolls were fiesty, fast and ferocious. I was behind the Green Barrettes simply because Joey was for the Bad Apples and by being on opposing sides the option for betting was available. I lost, sadly, but it was a good match. If you have never been, you should go. Get a cold beer, bring a camera and pick a team. The guy in the picture with me is Dumptruck. He was cool. Great voice too, lol and you've got to give him credit for his fashion sense. That picture was part of the initiation process into the land of roller dolls Hutchison style. So if you go with him as your guide beware. :)





This is a close up shot of the action, which I stole because I am lame and of course forgot my camera... check out the running man (well, woman) in the back. Intense, grrrr roller dolls grrrr!!!!


The next day we went out to breakfast at Luciles which is always good. Then headed to the bike race around one where I got to hang out with Dirk's daughter and play tag with a bunch of kids under 5. I love the sound a kid makes when they are really happy but pretending to be scared at the same time.. That shriek of pure joy that makes your ears bleed but also makes you smile. I miss making that sound. We kind of made up for it later that day though. Joey and I met up with Kendall for dinner at Hop's and then headed off to Boondocks for a little go-karts and putt putt. The golf was entertaining to say the least. None of us were very good, however Kendall mopped the floor with us being a whole 5 points ahead. It was a close game, both Kendall and I managed to get hole-in-ones which is probably the only reason joey didn't manage to beat the pants off us. I think when it comes to the three of us our golf game is almost as bad as our lack of bowling skills. But we have fun being terrible. After golf it was on to the go-karts! We waited in line FOREVER but that gave us ample time to see which karts were the bum ones. Joey was much better at paying attention to that than I was. Or rather we both picked the same kart but since I am such a nice girley friend (and he is a lot bigger than me which means he would win the knock down, drag out fight) I let him have good old number 39. He lapped me twice. Ouch. I still had a blast though.

Last night concluded the fantastic weekend. We messed around at home for most of the day and then headed off to the race that evening. Joey rode hard, I sat on the grass and chatted with Ann and Bob. It makes me feel slightly like a slacker when he comes riding up to me nice and dead from a good race and I haven't done anything physical all day. Oh well, it happens. After the race ended we headed over to Kendall's place for some kick ass burgers and some beer. Followed by the search for the holy DQ on the way home. It took us awhile to find one but at last we got lucky and Joey's craving for a blizzard was satisfied. I fell alseep curled up in Joey's arms in the middle of watching Blues Brothers. Awwwww... aren't little Blackman's cute when they get all tuckered out? Great weekend. I put in a formal request for more of the same.
