I had a great weekend!  Friday night, I went up to Pawnee Prairie Days with my dad and we had a beer and some ribeye sandwiches from the Boy Scouts... mmmmm!  I love fair food!

After we ate, Dad left and I hung out with some old friends.  The thing I love about Prairie Days is seeing everyone that I haven't seen since the year before.  I got to introduce F5 onstage, so that's always a fun time.

I ended up staying until everything closed down, then walked the 2 blocks to my parent's house.  I always get a little giddy when I stay in the bedroom where I grew up.  I was looking through old photos and getting emotional... I'm a huge dork.

Saturday we took the FOX Cruiser to the Pawnee Prairie Days parade.  I think I ate more candy than I threw out to the crowd.  That might explain the sugar-high.

After that, Eliott and I had a pretty relaxing weekend.  Saturday night we saw Ocean's 13.  I was having dreams about Brad Pitt all night long.  I didn't want to wake up!  I think that made Eliott a little jealous;)

Sunday we saw Knocked Up.  It was hilarious! 

Then, we went to Barnes and Noble.  I'm really excited to start reading my new book.  It's called "Water For Elephants."  Has anyone read it yet?  It's a New York Times best seller.  Ever since I've finished the first 6 Harry Potter's, I've had this void in my life.  I need a book full of imagination.  In July, you better believe that I'll be first in line to read the last Harry Potter book.  Does that make me a nerd?

So, that was my weekend in a nutshell.  This week I'm looking forward to the Sangamon County Fair and the queen pageant.  The pageant is this Wednesday at 7.  I hope to see you all there!
