On Tuesday it was Robbie's best friend Adam's birthday. We have a lot of March birthdays around here..anyhow Robbie had to work but Adam, his parents, his wife, Kim, and a few of our other friends went to the local bar and grill to eat some wings and play trivia. Sounds awesome right? We ordered our food, ate and 8 o clock came around. It was time to start trivia but there weren't many people wanting to play yet so the trivia host guy was waiting to see if anyone else would show up to play. Around 8:20pm or so, all these important manager looking folks rushed out of the back and started propping open doors to the outside. "What in the world?" we all thought aloud. Our waitress came over and explained that somebody had vandalized a gas pipe outside in the back of the building and it was leaking. Firemen walked through, drunk folks around us cursed loudly at the pandemonium. People got scolded for smoking, but did it anyhow. Nobody was allowed to leave, in case cranking cars in the parking lot set off an explosion. We cut our cookie cake in the lovely gas smell surrounding us. Needless to say, no trivia was played..which is a shame, I have only done it once but I had loved it and looked forward to this since the last time we'd been. We had won second place. I wasn't very good at the trivia questions but I could name most of the bands they played while they waited for answers, which got an extra point each round. I know my 70s through early 2000s music. I was disappointed for Adam's birthday bash but it was a real gas.
Despite that streak of bad luck that I am pretty sure was my fault somehow, everything else is going normally. I got up the motivation to clean the house yesterday and that's way more motivation than I am used to having. We're having some people over for a low country boil tonight and some other shenanigans may ensue. I've been wanting to play some rock band lately (I'm always the singer, I couldn't ever have the guts to try karaoke but I've always loved singing on rock band. Weird.) so hopefully we can get some of that action going. My parents are in town showing their house for rent to someone, I'm wishing them luck that this nice lady will take it..they have a lot of stress living in Ellijay and paying for their home down here too. They'll be coming to visit us later today but they are refusing to stay for dinner. I think they feel like they are wearing out their welcome but I miss them tons..I hope we can go up to visit them soon but Robbie's work schedule has been hectic and unpredictable lately. Soon..
