Fun, fun, fun!

These days have been hectic - and then suddenly the world stops and it feels as if its crawling away.

I just got back from staying over at Daryk's place - he and Alan had come to my house yesterday afternoon for a homemade supper of chicken, bread, and green beans - they seemed to love it. After dinner, we talked on the couch and Daryk invited me over to his parents house to play cards. He lived an hour or so away and so I thought maybe it would be too late, but then he said there was an extra bedroom to stay in and then we could go out on the lake the next day. I took that invitation! Fun!

So, I got packed and we went in his car. I enetered to a room of about 8 people I didn't know - but they were all happy go lucky and talkative - I fit right in! So, we all sat around the table and chatted - they brought up the name of "Gary Paulson" and I was floored.

"He lives around here?"

"Yeah, we keep asking about his dogs, why?"

They didn't know! "He writes books, he writes childrens novels.... you know, Hatchet..."

They looked at me as if they just lost the lottery ticket. Apparently they have talked on the phone and seen him but never got to see him. We even looked up his website and they wanted to hear about the Writer's conference dinner where I met him. It was fun to have something in common - poor Gary Paulson probably had burning ears all night - his name popped up a lot. :-) He is such a cool guy!

Well, Daryk and I played games the rest of the night and then went to sleep. I woke up to some techno music and thumping on the floor - Daryk had gotten up and was stomping on that dancing pad on the floor. hehe I gave it a try when I was dressed and I was terrible at it! But, then he got me on the four wheeler and we went all over the place on it - he let me see the whole farm. I loved everything! It was so cool!

Then we got home and his mom (his parents are the best) had made soup and we ate in the gazebo - beautiful fountains and such, then Daryk took me on the boat to go on the lake and he even let me drive ! Eeep hehe I did have fun tho.

We ate dinner at the county fair (small but cute) and then headed home. Gave Alan a call (RA) and he came over and I showed them how to play Shang Hai - hilarious! Then they both left - /sigh. I had too much fun. :-) I want more! hehehe

We are all three heading to Alien Vs Predator tomorrow - should be a good movie. :D
