Luck will visit you on the next new moon

So, it's been a while since I've written, so I think I should just bullet my life:

  • There's been a few times where I was gonna do this and I was gonna do that, but in the end I just stayed home and did nothing and it was actually quite fullfilling.
  • It's one month until I go on my vacation to NYC. We now have tickets to 3 musicals while we are there. One is "Young Frankenstein." You better know that my favorite part will be the tap routine to "Puttin' on the Ritz." I know this without even seeing it.
  • Our Scott and Kristin are finally married and I couldn't have pictured a better wedding ceremony for them! And the reception at the wine place was absolutely perfect. And the Reisling wine was AWESOME!!!! How cool it was that you guys picked these 3 wines and then had your pictures and info put on them?!?!? And I love the mixed cd. It's on rotation in my cd player :)
  • I was suffering from insomnia for the past week and have now finally rested the past 2 nights. I don't understand how a person's body can function on 1-2 hours of sleep per night, but somehow mine was. It wasn't pretty, but somehow I was pressing on.
  • Mike McClure at Hank's was fabulous. The girl I was sitting next to thought it appropriate to tell me, "I don't mean to be a bitch, but I'm like really good friends with Mike. We go to his shows all over." I wonder, how is that being a bitch? And how far from the truth could she have been? I'm pretty sure Mike couldn't give a rats ass as to who you are. Of course, she may have been pretending to be his sister at the hotel that night. Who knows.
  • We finally got Lori to a Johnny Cooper show on Thursday night. And I'm pretty sure she enjoyed it as she said to me, "I know you've been trying to get me to a show, but man I didn't know it was going to be like this." or something to that effect. He pretty much kicked ass that night. And it didn't hurt matters that Matt Powell was playing guitar with Adam Hood and that Miranda Lambert got up on stage to sing "22 days." I'm pretty sure though that that wasn't coke in her glass....i'm just sayin....it was a far cry from that little 17 year old I once saw at Bills.
  • I saw "Made of Honor." It was really good. Makes me want to visit Scotland.
  • After a few months of not having a light in my bathroom (and yes I changed the lightbulbs first and it still didn't work), I finally went to Home Depot and bought a new fixture. I even installed it myself...without shocking myself and everything! And now I can see to get ready in the morning instead of trying to get ready by a night light. I am woman hear me roar!
  • This weekend I have spent cleaning. I hate cleaning, but you can eat your lunch off my bathroom floor now it's so clean. Today I drank a cider beer with Deidre at BJs and we went area rug shopping for her new residence. We heard some interesting conversation coming from some boys at the bar. I decided the reason the guy probably wasn't married was because his ideals weren't all that idealistic. I think when you are pushing 40 like he was, it might be time to change your game plan buddy.
  • On Wednesday I go to the doctor to have my tongue looked at. I have what I affectionately call my tongue tumor. I'm hoping there's some magic medicine that can cure it. It's been there a little over 2 months now and it's presence is starting to annoy me. After I googled tongue tumors I think it most resembles mucolitis which is basically an ulcer on your tongue that takes some kind of special medicine to get rid of it. Deidre is the only one I've shown it to besides my Mom. So if you could all keep your fingers crossed. I mean what would someone do if they had to have part of their tongue removed? Would you be the freak friend who's missing part of her tongue? Ok I'm not going to think about that.

Everyone have a great week! And if my fortune cookie was right tonight, some luck may be coming my way!

Just when you think you've seen everything....

Today some undercover police officers came into our office holding a trash bag and asked to use our scale because apparently theirs is broken at the station. So we follow them around and the officer pulled out a 4 pound block of marijuana! I have never in my life seen that much pot in my entire life! And good LORD did it smell!

I'm still shaking my head. Somewhere in a jail cell there's some really pissed off drug dealer. I don't know how much pot goes for, but I'm guessing that 4 pounds ain't chump change folks.

Wasted Away Again In Margaritaville....

Ok, so my first ever Jimmy Buffett concert was weekend before last. It was quite an experience. And ALOT of people watching. First off, everyone gets there 193474584 hours before it starts and tailgates. When we got there the people we parked next to were pouring bottles of tequila into coolers filled with ice and margarita mix. It made me wonder why I had never done that. In fact, I was thinking it'd be really cool to have a refrigerator that, instead of having a water fountain in it, that it had a margarita fountain. That's my kind of refrigerator! Anyway, as I was marveling over the amount of liquor they were getting out of the back of their car, I was texting Michelle to find out where she was so I could say hi before she left to go home. I managed to find her and we talked before she left....she made me sign up to win an autographed guitar signed by Eli Young Band. I thought it'd be funny if I actually won it. Apparently I didn't. Michelle asked me if I saw a certain lady walking around and from the description she gave me I told her I had not. Don't worry, 10 minutes later I did. Get ready for this: she was wearing flip flops, a thong bikini bottoms, and 2 heart pasties over her nipples. That was it. And her boobs, though fake, were huge. I know I starred at her with my mouth gaping open. I just couldn't believe that's all she was wearing. And to be satisfied enough with yourself to actually do it is amazing! After that, nothing else really surprised me. I saw alot of homemade hats and shirts. I saw TONS of sharks, and cheeseburgers, fins, and parrot hats. Good grief. I decided if I was gonna go I'd get into the spirit of things and be just as cool as everyone else there. So I sang, and danced, even did fins to the left and fins to the right. It was a lot of fun and alot of drunk people in one place.
The guy who sat in front of us (his name was Mike and I thought, doesn't that just figure, and Deidre it made me think, you can't sling a dead cat around here without hitting a Mike) and he was with this lady old enough to be his mother. And I know they were on a date because he just kept telling her to have fun that they were on a date. Well, she wasn't having fun. And if she had told him one more time that he was embarrasing her because he was standing up and singing and dancing and having a good time, I was gonna slap her. She even one time told him she was gonna leave and he'd have to ask one of us to take him home. So he turns around to me and goes, "where do you live." I said, "allen." He says, "is that near Arlington?" I said, "No." He says, "Well if she leaves me here will you take me home?" I said, "To Arlington?" He said, "Yeah, I have my own place it's not like I live with my parents or anything." You know, because that really mattered to me. I said, "Well that's like an hour away from where I live, so I'd have to take you home tomorrow." hahahahahaha He was like, "ok, cool." Thank goodness she took him home. I will say this though, he was REALLY cute and ex military and my age and he kissed me on the cheek and hugged me before he left.....

"Standing underneath this broken street light, Can somebody take me home?" That's what kept playing over and over in my head.
