Another Fun-Filled Weekend!

As another Sunday night comes to end, it is time to review the weekend at a glance.

On Saturday, my sister Sally and nephew Charlie were released from the hospital and headed home. Mom tells me that he's a delight, except for when you try to change his diaper or his clothes. Then he starts to wail. But all in all, a five star baby thus far. If you want to see pics, go to the Charlie page on www.top5ive.com. We only have two pics so far, but as they come to us, we'll keep posting him.

Friday night was an action packed night at the Brunswick Zone! Randy (see Husker Hysteria blog), Steve and I decided some bowling was in order, so we packed up and headed to the ultra-sheek 48 lane Brunswick Zone. There was an hour wait on bowling, so we headed over to the arcade for a raucous game of air hockey. While there, we noticed quite possibly ones of the geekiest teens known on the planet. This kid, probably around 14, was engaged in a dance-off---with himself. He was on the Dance Dance Revolution EXTREME machine and had been dancing long enough at our arrival that his shirt was completley soaked through with sweat. He had a sweat towel that he kept next to him and would wipe his drenched face every couple minutes. He was quite the dancer, but reeked of nerd-ness. A group of like aged girls came by and mocked him and I felt badly for him. So, he spent his Friday night paying to dance really quickly by himself while on-lookers gawked at him. Poor feller.

Anyhoo--had two spirited games of bowling. Randy definitley wins the best bowler of the evening award (probably the only sporting event where Nebraska will beat Missouri!!!!!) Steve and I had a sad beginning match. I scored 56 pins and Steve was about 68 while Randy was around 180. In usual Hannah fashion, I then rocketed into the second game with three strikes in a row, bringing me to my all time high bowling score---126! Steve dramtically increased his score too. Good times.

We went to Weight Watchers on Saturday morning as usual, but didn't stay for the meeting because the guys had to work. I lost the 1.6 I gained last week and Steve had a small loss (cursed Cinco de Mayo!). He went to work and I cleaned house, did laundry. We then headed off to the home for a home buyer BBQ.

On Wednesday night when we prematurely visited the house, there had been no construction. We weren't expecting much to have been accomplished by Saturday, but we were wrong! The frame was being assembled and the workers were putting the plywood on. (see www.top5ive.com for pics). It was joyous! Our house is becoming real! We went back tonight in the evening so we could wander around without getting in the workers' way. Super duper exciting. We both almost busted a gut.

We were told that they are pretty positive the house will be done by the end of June. They advised us to lock our interest rate for our loan (we can lock 60 days out), so we'll do that tomorrow. yay!

We also met three sets of neighbors, all who seem very nice. While enjoying a free bratwurst (reminds me of Dad's BBQ) we met Don and Jenny, a young couple with no kids and two dogs. They are orginally from Wisconsin, but moved here about 7 years ago. They will live a block or so away. We met Sandy and Paul, who will live two houses down. Paul is orginally from India and moved to the states 10 years ago. Sandy is Indian, but has lived in America all of her life. They don't have kids either and this is their first home. Finally, we met Susie and her kids Brandon and Lauren. They will live two houses down from us also. They were nice and I think Brandon thinks Steve and I are pretty cool. So, seems like we'll have a nice bunch of neighbors.

We watched the movie "Swimming Pool" last night. Good thing we rented that from the library and didn't spend any money on that stinker! French people are just weird. Nuff said about that.

We cleaned out the garage today in a treasure hunt for more crap to sell on eBay! It's sparkling clean now and we've got a bed full of stuff to put up for sale to raise moola for the house.

Well, that's all the news that is fit to print!
