This week started off on Monday July 18th, 2016. I left our apartment at 6:45 for lacrosse camp. This was a busy week of camps, 4 hours of coaching in the morning and 2 in the evening. Had me driving all around the burbs.
On Tuesday July 19th, Rachel and I were able to catch Mr. Robot Season 2 Episode 1 and 2. Glad this show is back! Watch Season 1 on Netflix if you haven't yet! Season 2 is on live TV at the moment.
Song of the Week: That new Blink 182. Sounding like Old Blink. Love it.
Wednesday July 20th, I awoke at 4:30 to head out and make it to 6 am practice with the cats. Solid group of 12 guys came out. After work I visited Grandma, she just had surgery on her knee, but is recovering well! That night I drove back to my parents place and fell asleep doing laundry. Luckily I have the best mom in the world and she ended up finishing it and folding it for me too! Thanks mom, love you!
July 21st, a Thursday, after a long days work, I headed home to my wife and we loaded up Jurassic Park 3, the last Jurassic Park in the series we had to watch. After watching all 4 again, here is the order I give for best to worst. 1, 4, 2, 3. What do you think about that? Rachel made us delicious foil wraps with chicken, tomato, corn and some other goodies I am sure. It was oh so yummy.
On Friday July 22nd, I finished Bloodline Season 2. Not as good as season 1, but still decent. Season 2 was much slower with a lot more development by conversation, compared to action. Still an enjoyable view for those wishing, it is on Netflix. After coaching a camp in the morning I made the mistake of thinking it would be good to drink a 52oz bottle of that Bolthouse Farms fruit smoothie drink. I was just so thirsty and hungry that I thought I would kill 2 birds with one stone by getting it. The problem was that I started drinking it before I had any water, then realizing I had drank over half of it within the first minute. 10 minutes later the entire bottle was gone. And wow was that a mistake. My stomach hurt super bad later on that evening, so bad that at times when I was coaching I had to lay down. I also made multiple trips to the bathroom. Oh boy. Not suggested to drink that in one sitting folks! Especially not within 30 minutes. That evening, Rachel took the train out to Tinley where I was working, and we went to dinner at Bottom's Up. It was pretty delicious, I think I got some sort of sandwich but can't recall due to the stomach pain! We spent the night hanging with Rachel's parents at their house.
Saturday July 23rd was Grandparents day. It was a very special day filled with great stories and time spent with such caring and loving people. We started the day off in Tinley Park at Rachel's Mimi & Papa, headed down to Kankakee to be with Rachel's Grandma and Grandpa, and finished out at my Grandma's in Palos Heights with pizza and beer. We slept over at my Grandma's and helped her and my Aunt Lillian who also just had surgery out.
Sunday, July 24th began at my Grandma's where we enjoyed breakfast, telling more stories, and helped her take care of a few things. That evening we headed home to make it to the new Target for their Grand opening just down the street. That night we also bought the remaining items off of our registry and started Game of Thrones Season 2. We are pretty pumped to fulfill our kitchen with new utensils and tools!
The next week was looking to be another lacrosse camp filled week. Starting off on Monday July 25th, I was running camp again, this time in Western Springs. It is hot outside, but these kids were so soft, needing water breaks every 10 minutes. Man up boys, it's lacrosse!
On Tuesday July 26th, after running camp in the morning, I headed over to FV lax camp in Napes. That evening, Beth was so kind to gift me some buffalo trace for my bday. Beth and I went to dinner later at Tommy Nevins. It was Taco Tuesday and the whole time we there, we could only squeeze in 1 JT song on the jukebox, while the same 5 country songs played over and over again. Thanks guy who has the Jukebox app and did that... Not!
Wednesday July 27 was another morning of practice at 6 am with the boys. I also got a little up close and personal with a bee on this day. That evening I went home and enjoyed the night with the wife :)
Video of the Week: The final video of Squid dancing to JT, for better or for worse? Just kidding, nice moves beth!
Movie of the Week: Gonna have to go with the classic Jurassic Park
TV Show of the Week: A tough one between Bloodline Season 2, Game of Thrones Season 2, and Mr. Robot Season 2. But I am gonna have to go with Mr. Robot.
Now before I close this blog out, you are probably wondering, Josh, what did you eat all week? You only mention food a couple of times in this weeks post! Well, let me tell you. This was by far one of my most unhealthy weeks, which involved either McDonalds, or some other sort of fast food every day of the week. Some days it would only be dinner I had, other days it would be both lunch and dinner. Anyway, I just wanted to make it clear, poor decisions regarding food were made over this week and a half.
I'm out.
