Hogs 'n' Metal
Saturday, September 23, 2006
I'm like a little kid @ Christmas.....I woke up at 5:30am and couldn't go back to sleep because this is the day my parents get here!!! I got out of bed at 6:30, took a shower and got dressed, and now I'm about to go to the grocery store to pick up some stuff for us to make dinner this week. My mom loves coffee, but it has to have fancy flavored creamer, so I have to pick up some of that. I don't think they like crazy hippy health-food type stuff, so I bet they won't like the cereal and other food we already have in our cupboards....so it's off to buy some "traditional" super processed ingredients :)
It is storming here and I'm really hoping it dries up soon because our church is having a Bike Rally (as in, motorcycles) today and it is supposed to be outdoors. There will be a bike show, a swap meet, a greased pig race (yep - they are greasing a little 15lb pig and letting people try to catch it for a prize!), lots of delicious southern barbeque, a Krispie Kreme Doughnut sale, and like 5 or 6 heavy metal bands playing on a big stage made up of a bunch of flat-bed trailers. I really want to go to it, but my parents will be here around 11 or 12 and I still have cleaning and stuff to do.....and I don't think my parents are fans of heavy metal, so I bet they won't want to go to the festivities :) We might go down there to eat some barbeque if they're not too tired, though.

Enjoy the visit with your folks!! I can really relate to the excitement of spending time with family.
I hope that you all get to go to the bike show, sounds like fun! Poor little piggy. :0( I hope he's not too scared.
I hear you on the special grocery/foodstuffs thing. My parents are health conscious in the "low carb" realm and require special foods that aren't exactly "whole".
Greased pig race?! That just sounds so cool!
The greased pig thing reminds me of a reality show titled, "Cowboy U".
I'm up and it's late or early depending on how you look at it. 4 a.m.
I pray things are going well with your visit. Can't wait for the rundown.
