The Random Ramblings of a Genius
First off, the GREAT news: as of 6pm tonight, my brother (Marine Cpl. Bryan Meyer of New River, NC) is safely home in North Carolina...WHHHHOOOOOPPPPPEEEEEE!!!!!! I went over to Mom's last night for dinner, and we proceeded to watch the homecoming from his first tour of Iraq and cry our eyes out. It got us totally pumped up for this time around! She left this morning for NC to help welcome the unit home and because she can't wait the three weeks until his leave to see him. Mothers.Second off, the GOOD news: as of last night, my check for the first half of the rent on our vacation house in Oak Island has cleared. We officially have Sea Mist from September 3-10th, 2005. A brief history on Eric and Jen and OKI (our affectionate little nickname): Year one, Eric and I had just begun our run together when he invited me to be his date on a couples vacation to Oak Island, NC. We went with four others, and stayed at Lucia Marino. It was a blast! We had a great time, and at soon as we got home to KC we started planning the next year's trip. For OKI 2, we stayed at Lucia Marino again, and again went down with 2 other couples: one the same, one different. That year it was a good time, too, albeit without the rookie excitement of OKI 1. This time, OKI 3, we're going with completely different people, 10 in all (singles and couples), and we're staying at a different, WAY COOLER house. We're are going to have SO MUCH FUN.
Third and finally, the BAD news: My Jayhawks have lost three in a row. For those of you who have lived in a box since the 1980s and don't understand, this is practically unheard of. They went from 20-1, playing most awesomely after their unnecessary loss to Villanova, to 20-4, playing like puke against teams that aren't nearly as good. WTF guys, come on?! I really, really hope they STOP before we play Oklahoma. We lost our league undefeated status, we lost our first seed, we dropped in ranking all the way down to #7... The losing streak is a fluke, of course, but let's all hope it's OVER!
