Mario & I, when doing a trash run today, decided to be smart and wear trash bags to keep from getting too wet. Knock a hole in the bottom, pull it over your head, pop your arms through the sides; done: you have a trashbag raincoat. They worked pretty good granted that my hat, arms, and lower part of my legs got soaked. It was still entertaining, and I love me some rain. Speaking of which, I've gotten Rain (Breaking Benjamin) stuck my head. Oh well, good song.

Evr tried lifting a 50 lb box of potatoes when evry muscle in your arms, back, and left leg are sore as all get-out? Well, it's not the piece of cake you may think it is. It actually is a little taxing on you, believe it or not. Why am I so sore you may ask? Well, it's like this:
At Amanda's B-day party, they had one of those fair quality huge canvas inflated slide things. Put two and two together, and you can probably make your own conclusions. Considering the first time I went down I was barrel-rolling so fast that I flew 10 or 15 ft into the yard, it's not too hard to figure out. Later that night, though, is when things really got messy. We (the guys @ first, then the girls) decided to jump over the outside wall onto the flat "landing zone" of the slide. Almost evry time I went over, I slammed onto the back of my neck. Ouch the next day: bigtime. But it was fun. The crazy insane games of twister didn't help any of that. But that was fun too. We did some other stuff like a scavenger hunt, some other game, and cake, but the exact details escape me. But over all, it was a fun and incredibly exhausting time.

There was a wreck outside of McAlister's today. On the road between McAlister's and Wal-Mart, a guy slid into another car 'cause of the rain; nothing really bad, but a wreck none-the-less. Speaking of wrecks, one the kitchen guys, Andrew, got in a bad car wreck last night. He's in the hospital in intensive care. I can't remember which hospital, but he's not doing very well, either way. So keep him in your prayers.

One last ending note:
I find it interesting how, even in the music you don't like, you'll still find that you like some of the lyrics. I won't say specifically what song(s) so as to keep from humiliating myself (among other things). But yeah. Just some food for your brain.
