Just another manic Monday.

So, the Gamecocks were only successful in winning one of the three games...boo! But, otherwise, it was a fabulous weekend!

On Saturday, WEG and I went up to Greenville to the Drive stadium to watch the game, and it was a lot of fun. The city of Greenville and the Greenville Drive really went all out for this game. There were banners on the lightpoles in downtown advertising the game, a band outside the stadium, tables with purple and orange and garnet and black table cloths, the outfield wall was painted with each of our logos, and the atmosphere was just great. They really did it right, and I hope we'll get to go back last year. And, the Gamecocks did win this one, so it was a great time all the way around!

That night, we went to Thirsty Fellow with friends to celebrate my birthday. We had a good time- the food was yummy and the company even better! Afterwards we headed over to The Sly Fox to hang out for a bit longer before heading home.

On Sunday we went to lunch with my parents and then to the baseball game. Let me tell you, it was not a good one. Clemson hit 2 grand slams on their way to beating us 19 to 6. Yikes! The game lasted forever and we had the most obnoxious fan ever behind us. Obviously the players he knew were Whit Merrifield and Jackie Bradley, Jr. because he yelled at them constantly. That and he yelled that Clemson was cheating pretty much the whole time. At one point he yelled "Clemson is cheating. Whit Merrifield, you better do something about it." I'm not sure what he thought Whit was going to go, but oh gosh, he was quite the entertainment!!

So, the weekend was fun, but now the craziness of this week gets started. It's the busiest week of the year at work with our board coming in for meetings on Thursday and Friday, a board dinner on Thursday night, and our Alumni Awards dinner on Friday night. In addition, we're having dinner with my parents on Tuesday night for my birthday, I've got to run the race course at least once (hopefully on Wednesday) for the 5k on Saturday, and then it's race day, as well as a shower in Charleston on Saturday night, and celebration of Julie's birthday on Sunday!

Let's get it started!
