Monday was Memorial Day. Throughout the weekend, a few people asked if we were throwing a BBQ, like we have in the past. Originally it hadn't really crossed out minds, but on Sunday we finally said "fine, we will."

So we spent a lot of Sunday driving around picking up things we needed; food, charcoal, a couple new chairs, a kickball and a football... So we'd be in good shape for the BBQ.

Monday we woke up and immediately started to clean hardcore. There was a chance of rain, so if we had to host it inside, we didn't want everyone sitting in a cloud of pet hair and fecal matter...

We were able to pull off a pretty spectacular job before people started arriving at 2. We set up in the back yard, and quickly there was a group of 8 or 10 people. I cooked the crap out of some meat and non-meat. Good stuff.

After a while, we all walked two blocks down to the school with 4 baseball diamonds. We played kickball, but since we didn't have enough people to properly cover the field, we just had everyone play the field and one person kicking, which worked well, actually.

But soon some kids from the neighborhood joined in, one who was probably 10 or 11, first, and then a group of teens. At that point we split into two teams and it was a blast. There was a lot of scoring, and a TON of base stealing. Also some heckling, mainly by me.

Eventually they teens had to leave, so the remaining people played 500 with the football we brought. We quickly realized it was not realistic to expect people to actually catch the ball, so we just made it so whoever got the ball first got the points. It went well, except when Lindsay got her turn to throw and just threw it at everyone's crotch.

Victoria showed up with a group of her friends, and we walked home and started Round 2 of BBQ action. Soon everyone was stuffed, and some people cleared out at 9:30 or 10:00. A small group stayed to play You're In the Movies, which was predictably ridiculous and stupid.

Everyone finally left at midnight or so. Luckily I had cleaned up most of the mess while they were still here, so I didn't have to much left to do before I got to play Mad World, a Wii game Adam lent me, for an hour or so.

All this, and I didn't take a single picture with my new camera. I am stupid.
