Relaxing Weekend

Dave and I are relaxing, no really, we are.

Friday

1. 2:00 p.m. - Got two new tires for my car, as I had a slow leak in one. I need four, but they only two in my size.
2. 4:45 p.m. - Tried out a new hairdresser. His name is Manny. I was assured that it was very unusual that I could get an appointment with Manny, as he was the "best", especially with color. I was tried to a deep conditioner and an awesome haircut/style. He is good. I have finally found "my hairdresser". I will be getting my hair colored soon by Manny. I did feel out of my comfort zone slightly though, as Manny is probably gay and white, but all the other clients in the place were black. It was fun. I loved it.
3. 6:00 p.m. - Left apt. for Eastern. Alumni reception (food), and men's basketball game. We initially were not going to stay for the whole game as Dave thought it would be a blowout with Eastern losing. They played the University of California - Berkeley Golden Bears, a PAC 10 team. The deal on this game was that the new Eastern Basketball Head Coach, Charles Ramsey, was the assistant for the Ben Braun, the Bears' Head Coach. Ben Braun, who used to be Eastern's head coach between 1986 and 1996, was the winningest head coach in Eastern's history. So when it looked like Eastern might have a chance to win, we had to stay. Eastern won by two points. Hoohah.
4. After the game, we went home to pack for our trip to Buffalo to see the last Eastern football game of the year. We got on the road around 10:00 p.m. or so. We stopped for the night in Canada somewhere halfway between Livonia and Buffalo.
5. We left for Buffalo in the morning and experiencing an hour long back up at the Canadian/American customs we finally arrived at the football stadium at 1:00 p.m.
6. We went to the press box first to get stats and check in with other media people that we know. After the game started at 1:30, we went down to the field to take pictures and watch the action up close. Eastern played pretty well. We watched the last half of the game from the press box because it got pretty cold on the field and I am still recovering from my whatever it was.
7. Then after Eastern won the game (finally a win), we left to get something to eat.
8. Now we are relaxing at the Residence Inn. We have a suite with a couch and kitchen and king size bed. There is wireless internet, our two laptops, football on the TV, and Dave is again soring on the couch (minus Sparky the lovebird).
9. Tomorrow we will be driving back home. Might stop to see one of his coworkers on the way back. Then home to start getting the information together to right the recap for the Saturday MAC football games.
10. I have some work that I will try to do tonight, as I was not able to get it done on Friday because I had to go get the tires.
11. Soon, I will be shutting down the computer, cuddling up with a warm blanket and a mystery and hopefully relax enough to get a good night's sleep.

Never a dull moment with Dave, that's for sure.
