So we're down in MA again, and here I am at 9:30pm sitting at the in laws writing on my blog. Man I need a life. We arrived in Boston around 2 and went over to my grandparents for a visit. We haven't seen them in way too long, so we went by to hang out. Gotta say, its tough not going over there every other wknd for Sunday dinner. We ended up staying until 330 or so, swung by my parents house to drop off my brother's birthday gift, and left for the in-laws were we're staying.
Sarah's mom cooked some bbq pork ribs on the grill (trust me, it doesn't get any better) and headed over to the mall to kill the night.
I'll tell you this much, if I knew at 16 what I know now, I would have cleaned up. There must have been 10,000 high school kids there. I pray every night that someday when we have kids, we don't have any daughters. No way I'm letting my kid leave the house looking like a hooker. When I was 16, the baggy look was in, now apparently the stripper look is the way to go. Seriously girls, wearing more than 7 square inches of clothing isn't a bad thing.
Going to the mall can be fun though, as both the misses and I can be very judgmental of strangers. Observing what some people think to be acceptable, can be pretty funny. Yeah yeah, I'm going to hell, I know, I was already on my way, just add this to the list.
Anyway, that's all for tonight I think. Almost time for bed, then off to a baby shower for the misses and an afternoon of football for me.
