Very quick update.

Friday - Garage broken into. Hated on thieves. Wallowed in hate by renting a movie (McDonald's REDBOX rocks -McDonald's itself, of course, still sucks), getting a growler to go at Schlafly's (brewery) and custard at Ted Drewes.

Saturday - Home Depot - spent insane amounts of money to fix damage to garage, secure garage better and secure home/basement better. Spent the entire day implementing our new security measures (and planting some pretty flowers in the front beds where I took out all the grass and put mulch - now I don't have to yell at Cody to mow and he doesn't have to be yelled at and he doesn't have to mow.) After house/garage/basement was sufficiently secured, went camping in Burbon, Missouri. It was a nice sunny day - until we drove off to go camping - and then it rained and rained and rained. We set the tent up in the rain and slept in the rain. While our tent has a rain hood thing the tent is mostly windows and there's just so much you can do to keep it dry in a rain storm.

Sunday - Float trip on the Meramec. Beautiful but chilly and still somewhat rainy. Nice though. Came home and watched Borat (Cody and Dude pronounce this as "Bo - Rat") - it was hillarious!

Monday - Work. Work. Work. Oh, and work. And ran SEVEN minutes before my knee started hurting. A few weeks ago I was proud of 2 hours, now I'm happy with just 7 minutes - the things an injury does to you.

Tuesday - Worked. Went to Fair St. Louis - saw Lifehouse and Goo Goo Dolls and a cool fireworks display. Drank a bit too much vodka and Diet 7ups. Ordered the largest pizza known to man.

Wednesday - Spent the day painting the porch. We are well on our way to not being the trashiest neighboors on the block!!! Then we went to a friend's party/BBQ - lots of fun - and then saw more fireworks in St. Charles - very very good display. Then I went into work for a little bit to gather stuff for my trip to Columbia tomorrow - fun fun!
