Kids these days...

Wednesday night is bowling night. Clay and I pack up our bowling balls (yes, we now both have our own!) and head to the alley to meet up with the rest of the crew! In the midst of our first game, a young girl about 12 years old comes to our lane selling candy bars. Of course, we give her the business. Who can resist chocolate? :) I ask her what she's selling candy bars for and she says she's raising money to go to Disneyland. After that response, I was immediately interested in helping her out! I bought a candy bar and got a little bit of attitude because I only bought one! ha But I told her to have a great time at Disneyland! She collects her money from my friends and I and scurries off to the other end of the bowling alley. Later that night, Clay came back from the restroom only to report that he had seen that same little girl at the claw machine (where you try and claw the stuffed animals) digging money out of the candy bar box. Hmmm...now that's going to be one pissed off mom who has to pay for the box of candy bars because her daughter couldn't resist the bright pink elephant amongst a sea of fuzz and fur! Not only that, I feel ripped off now- I was giving money to support a trip to Disneyland, not to be wasted at the bowling alley. Geesh...kids these days! Never know the true value of the dollar!

Oh man...I'm getting old!

~crunch time~

So, it's getting down to wedding crunch time! No...not my wedding, silly! Chelsea's getting married June 27th. Her bridal shower is Saturday and I can't wait to celebrate and be with all my sisters! The bachelorette plans are coming around. The "day of" planning started last night at dinner with my mom and Chels. It took us 3 hours to tentatively plan the day beginning at 8am up until midnight! It's going to be a whirlwind of a day...but this MOH is getting organized!
Weddings are a funny thing- so much time is spent making stressful decisions and with so many detailed preparations and it's all over so fast! I don't know how I feel about that...
Hmmm...I'm sure it'll be different once I start planning my own (which won't be for a loooong time for all you wishful thinkers out there!) :)

Brit Brit's Circus



Alas, the Britney Spears concert came and went and boy, what an evening! The girls were all very excited for the day to finally come, since we bought our tickets (very excitedly) back in November. I had to work that day (and all weekend for that matter), so I rushed home after working the Lido boat show, got showered, ate and quickly was off to JT Schmidts for some drinks before the show.
I met Gabby and Larissa there, and Meg and lindsay arrived shortly after. The place was getting crowded- full of girls dressed to impress Britney! :) We got tons of compliments on our shirts that we made! Not sure if I'll have a chance to ever wear it again but it was fun for the night!
We walked back over to the arena and waited for the concert to begin. Perez did some sort of creepy intro- guess it went along with the circus theme? And the circus began...there were circus acts going on all over the stage and finally Britney came out. Although she was lipsyncing every single song, I was impressed with the show and loved the dance party we were all having!
It was an amazing night with some amazing girls! :) Unfortunately, we didn't get a group shot of our shirts! But the rest of the shirts spelled out I <3 BRIT! Probably the first and last time I'll ever see Britney on stage!

Better Blogging- I promise!
