I survived the weekend...

This weekend was jam packed with activity, and I came thru with a major sunburn, and the knowledge of how not to build a fence. First though, I'd like to go over the Prom. Dem was asked to go to the prom with a junior. At the last minute lol. So we've been scrambling the last two weeks to get everything together for this. Saturday, the big day arrives. We got home in time to make sure Dem's hair was looking good, he was shaved, cologne on. His tux looked better than I expected. It was white pinstripe, black shirt, blood red vest and tie...I wasnt thrilled with the white selection, but it looked good. So we drive him to his date's house, since she is driving. Dem isn't old enough to drive yet. When we get there, we take pictures of Dem and his date, and one of her friends is there also. So lots of pictures were taken (check my pics, will post some). They leave, and we head to the high school to get more pics of them. When their name is announced, we found out that Dem had two dates that night. The other girl was also his date, because the guy she was supposed to go with creeped her out, so Dem was shared. He is still grinning. Also over the weekend, I helped a friend build a fence. I did it for the experience. I plan on putting up a fence in our yard, and was curious how to go about it. Luckily this weekend, I was shown how not to build a fence. They're sharing costs with a neighbor, so the guy was in charge of the project. We were under the impression that he knew what he was doing, but he was getting all his information from a guy who did the maintenance for the town they live in. He is a member of the city board. This fact was mentioned 40 times over the course of the building. It was nice because we got to use all the city tools. Not sure if it's legal, but oh well. We stretched out an hour of hole digging into 5 hours. Instead of measureing out holes 8 feet away, we dug a hole, placed a pole, filled with cement, and moved on. Took forever. He placed post cement around the poles, and told them that water wasnt needed, it would be taken from the ground. I was watering the dry cement the next morning..What a mess. Then we spent the next day hanging panels. The panels he got were great for what he wanted. But my friend has kids. I seriously think when his kids get a little bigger, a good run into the fence, and they'll be free, because the panels are so thin that they should break thru. Look nice, but not practical. The panels went up fine, until half way thru the back, when he miscalculated, and we ended up having to cut a bunch of panels down. By then, I was just carrying panels. I let the brains of the operation figure things out. But my friend's wife is an incredible cook, so it was all worth it for the ribs, steaks, italian beefs, and various other things that she cooked for us this weekend. To top it off, it was my grandma's 89th birthday. We were told to get there at 4, so we did. Everybody else got there at 5. Apparantly it is percieved that we are the late ones to family functions. We are late because usually we are working, not because we're not punctual. It was nice seeing my grandma though. The weekend was alot busier than it sounds. I also worked a half day Saturday, and all these activities were mixed and matched throughout. Well, that was the weekend update, have a great day!
