Well, it's been an interesting few days indeed. As I said previously, Monday was Memorial Day and I was booked to go to Anthony's "cook-out". I was out of the house by 9 am because I wanted to buy a little summer dress to wear and the Memorial Day sales were starting. At Target I found this really nice little blue polyester dress in a medium! It actually looked really nice on me, so I couldn't help but buy it despite trying to stay rather frugal. Because I ride a bike and work in a laboratory, I hardly ever get to look nice, so this was to make up for it. :) I had my bathing suit on underneath it since I knew there was a likely chance we would end up in the pool voluntarily or otherwise, additionally the bathing suit holds everything in place quite nicely. Avi gave me a lift up there and we were running slightly late, but no great matter as we all sat around playing cards, drinking beer and having fun. Most of the guys from the gaming group and their girlfriends/wives were there so there was no shortage of people to talk to. Anthony took up position on the grill and kept us supplied with hotdogs and the occasional burger, and not long after that, people started being dumped in the pool. I figured it would be best if I went in under my own volition, so I ditched my little dress and took the plunge...
and it was fine. :)
I got chased around the pool a bit, dunked a few times, rained on and yet by the time I got out to a thoroughly welcome dry towel I had really enjoyed and surprised myself. I got changed into dry clothes and we sat around talking, others were drinking and we played a board game. Ben drove me home about 9:30 pm where I regaled Allison with my adventures before curling up in bed with a thunderstorm outside.
