Time for catch up.
I was working Thursday night when Harold called and to let me know that Jessie & Chris got delayed in Atlanta by an hour So we figured that if I got off in time that I could go up with him to pick them up. So I was psyched…………then as the night went on, there was no way. I had to call Harold and told him that he needed to go without me. =( I was so pissed, any other night it would’ve been no big deal. But I hadn’t seen them in years and wanted to spend as much time with them as possible.
When they got here, we ended up staying up really late playing catch up. Which lead to sleeping in later then planned, but it was all good. =) We took them to a local place for some food and headed to the beach just to do some Floridian things……..grin Then it was time to get ready for the game.
It was so great to be with fans of football and it was even better to be with Purdue fans. We haven’t been to a game in years. It was so great to see all the black and gold. When we had ordered the tickets we had just picked best seat available. Didn’t discovered until after we ordered them that we ended up in the ACC section!! We were afraid we would be surrounded totally by the Terps………instead we were surrounded by Purdue fans!!!
As time went on we discovered that they were all ticketmaster purchasers like us, who picked best seats available. Well, Purdue was decided on 2 weeks before Maryland so all the Purdue fans took up the section that was meant for them………..grin It was great.
We loved it! We were with people that knew Purdue history and football! Who knew the traditions of our game, the band and the fight song. It was seventh heaven. It was the only thing that we missed from Indiana that wasn’t family.
Unfortunately, we lost. =( But it was still fun.
And we also had a great visit! I’m so glad that they came down and stayed an evening with us. I miss talking to Jessie. I can’t wait to go to their wedding and get to see Michelle!
I had to work today, very early…….on 5 hours of sleep……so I feel a little loopy right now. I just want to stay up long enough to meet the new year. Thankfully I have tomorrow off. So I can finally get my emails done.
But what I’m really looking forward to my 1st weekend off since Oct 1st! Which will be next weekend.  Not only do I have that weekend off, but I have 2 personal days that I have to use. I have a total of 5 days off together!
I’m so looking forward to it. We have the championship game the on 8th to watch (I even did my nails in Ohio State colors for it……grin). I’m also going to schedule my spa time, but 1st I need to find out what games are playing when so I can do it around them.
Once I get some sleep and not so loopy, I can remember all the things I want to get done. =)
Time to close.
I hope everyone has a safe & fantastic New Years!
(Just to use a bad pun I rarely use………….)
I’ll chat with you next year…………grin
