My Friday the 13th and Saturday the 14th

My poor little brother came up to visit me in Cleveland for the weekend and as soon as he got here he became sick. I think he has the flu. Poor poor kid. We did have fun on Friday though. After I picked him up from the airport we went to eat, then to the mall, and finally to Dave and Busters! We played tons of games and Adam beat me at every single one! We decided to go to Jamat Khane and on the way Adam asked to stop because he felt so sick, we stopped at a gas station. Adam went to the restroom and I figured while I was there I'd fill up the tank. As I go to pull out the gas nozzle from the truck, out spurts a whole crap load of gas right on my shirt! I run inside and tell the attendant what happened and the jerk says "nothing I can do about it" I was pissed. All of a sudden my skin starts burning like its on fire. Adam was in the bathroom so I couldn't wash up there however, there was a sink behind the counter. I go back there almost ripping my shirt and bra off because it burns so bad. The guy starts yelling on me for being there, I was so mad and in pain at that point! So I left and ran to the CVS next door. I don't see a bathroom sign so I ask the pharmacist to tell me where the bathroom is. I am in tears my skin is falling off and I am almost 1/2 naked because I am pulling the shirt and bra off right there in the middle of the store. I beg the guy to please let me use the employee bathroom and told him what happened. I think he thought I was nuts but he allowed me to use the bathroom. He did however have another employee stand outside to make sure I wasn't going to take anything from the back area. I pull off my clothes and wash my skin. I wash my shirt in the sink but it reeks of gasoline and is soaked. How am I suppose to go to Jamat Khane with a sick brother and no shirt? Somehow Adam found me back there in the bathroom. Adam still had is luggage in the car so I wore one of his t-shirts. We ran to the mall and speed shopped. I found another shirt put on perfume and make-up from the counters at Macy's and we head to JK. Of course on the way it starts to pour down rain. I should have known better than to go out on Friday the 13th! That what I get! Rob's mom know best and never travels or goes out on Friday the 13th! It just wasn't our night but we did and made it through. Since it was Friday the 13th we went to see a scary movie. We went to The Happening. It was okay but Rob saw the same movie on the same night so that made it special.
Today, Adam woke up sick again but we made it to the University Circle Parade which was happening down the street from where I live. We had fun. The parade was interesting and cute. We ate a lot and went to all the booths. I made a paper hat, we drank fruit smoothies and watched a local band called Cats on Holiday (pic above). We came home because Adam was weak and poor kid has been asleep since then. I love the little munchkin. Now I am doing laundry. $6 for 2 loads!! I am shocked at how expensive it is and its in the basement which is a bit creepy. On another note I remembered today that the major networks are carrying TV shows on the Internet. There is no TV where I live so I haven't seen anything for over 2 weeks. Now I am catching up. I started with The Bachelorette. I know its queasy and cheesy but its one of those guilty pleasures I have.
