Memorial Day Weekend 2010 Part 2

Sunday morning I had to drive back to Dayton again for our last game of the season.  Based on Saturday's terrible play, there was no way we were making it to the championships.  I was ok with that.  The weekend had been exhausting as it was. 

We arrived at the soccer park half an hour ahead of time and Gavin realized he didn't have his soccer cleats with him because he had walked out of the house in bare feet.  He didn't even have tennis shoes in the car.  Fuck....  Luckily one of his teammates was more prepared than we were and had a spare set of cleats.  We won the game and headed back to Columbus.

Once I got home I woke Josh up and took him home.  He had stuff to do all day and wasn't happy with me that I was going to the Bret Michaels concert with Nicole.  Originally I had planned to go to dinner with him Sunday night thinking Bret would be dead by then, but in true rock star form Bret made it through all his medical issues ok.  Josh was a little salty about all this, but this a tradition that Nicole and I have.  I told him I'd meet up with him later in that night because he'd be at a cookout on my side of town.

I napped for awhile then picked up Nicole and we headed downtown.  We sat in the car for damn near an hour drinking our road pops and talking about dumb shit.  Finally we decided we should probably go into the concert venue and at least do some people watching till Bret came on.  If you're my friend on Facebook, you've seen these, but they're SOOO worth another view.

Beached Whale....

I don't even know what to say about this....

My long lost dad....

 That right there.... Is a man..... But he had HOT legs....

And as Bret Michaels would say HiiiiiYo! Hello :)

Anyway, after people watching for a bit, we walked up to the top of the lawn where Nicole spilled an entire bucket of beer.  That's right, 32 oz. of beer spilled on the concrete... Bummer.  At least they gave her a new one for free.  We headed back down to the main area where all the food and drinks were to wander around for awhile and someone came up behind us.

"Tara, Nicole, hey!"  I stood there stunned for a minute.  It was the ex-husband there with his first ex-wife.  WTF?  Are we in an alternate Bret Michaels universe?  What the hell are they doing here together?  They suggested we come sit with them and the ex-step-son up in the lawn.  Sure, what the hell......  The ex is always good for racking up a good bar tab, so we went.  This kind of shit ensued.....

How lucky he is to be with BOTH of us....

Nicole will be ex-wife #3 we're sure lol

Me & Ex #1.... I'm cuter, she has bigger boobs...

All of us.  Poor Kyle

WTF Nicole?

Well that's what happens when you have too many beers....

Oh and I suppose I should include some shots of the actual concert.  As usual Bret didn't disappoint.  Brain hemorrhage or not, he was on it Sunday night!  He played mostly Poison songs, did some covers of Guns n Roses (???) and a couple of songs off of his new album.

There was no up close & personal in the pit this time.  We didn't have the $30 tickets that would get you down there.  Oh well, free tickets are free tickets and we had an excellent time.  After the concert we went to where Josh was and picked him up.  After that we headed over to Josh's uncle's house where the other Tara was with Nicole's kid.  I have no idea what happened there other than I hear that my wheels fell off.  I went from mild buzz to somewhere beyond wasted in under an hour.  Josh took my keys and for whatever reason I WAS PISSED.  This resulted in me leaving the party and walking home.  I think Tara pulled up beside me trying to offer me a ride home and I told her to fuck off.  Not sure about all that.....  Somehow I made it home and into bed.  

Around 9:00 Monday morning Josh crawled into bed and I woke up.  "That was the most drunk I've ever seen you Tara" was all he said and rolled over & went to sleep.  Uhh, ok.  I went back to sleep too.  Apparently he came to bed around 4 and I told him I was pissed and he had to sleep on the couch.  I have no recollection of this at all.  I did want sex, so I'm not sure why I would have kicked him out of bed, but whatever.  

Later in the afternoon I took him home and went back to my house to finish planting my garden.  He stopped over before he went to poker and we talked a little more.  He said he'd see me when he was done taking everyone's money.  Ok then.  Nicole came over and we tried to figure out where the hell we went wrong the night before.  Neither of us could figure it out.  The two of us cooked out on the grill and later I took her home and curled up in my own bed kind of glad another epic weekend was in the books......
