So the big secret from my last post was that I won tickets to go to the taping of CMT Crossroads with Keith Urban and John Mayer. It was amazing. Ted kind of laughed at me when I told him that at work the next day, but seriously, Ted, it was. 
Five more days! Then I will finally get to see the movie I have been waiting for most of this year. I don’t think I’ve ever counted down the days to a movie before. It’s also strange to think that this time last year, I had no idea what Twilight was even about.
If you haven’t guessed by now, the movie I’m talking about is New Moon. I’m making an event out of it — some friends are coming over to eat Italiano, watch Twilight and then go to the theater. At the time I was planning this, I thought it would be easier for everyone to get together on Saturday. Now I realize the rest of the world will get to see the movie a day before we do. What was I thinking?
Two Tuesdays in a row with new music. How did I get so lucky?
Last Tuesday, I bought cradlesong by Rob Thomas. Now I may be a little biased, but I think it’s awesome. So far, my favorites are … well it would be easier to say that I usually skip over “Gasoline” and “Snowblind.” Neither are bad songs, but I’m usually in a hurry to get to my two favorite songs: “Give me the meltdown” and “Wonderful”.
After the jump, Rob in hi def, new bsb and a pop quiz….
Happy 4th of July!
Cookouts, fireworks, and a concert add up to a great holiday weekend. Is it 4:00 yet so we can get started?
Tonight, there are fireworks at the Corvette museum and tomorrow at WKU. How many times will Kristi and I say “Is that it? Is that the end? Oh, you’ll know when it’s over.“?
On Saturday, Kristi and I are going to see Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban and some other people at LP Field in Nashville. I think we have some decent seats so you can expect some pictures next week. It starts at 3:30 so I’m taking plenty of sunscreen. I don’t want to come back with raccoon eyes! We’ve got our fingers crossed that Uncle Kracker does NOT make a surprise appearance. That’s one way to ruin our concert experience. Another way is rain.
To prepare for Saturday, I’ve listened to Kenny’s song “Better As a Memory” a million times. I think it’s the best song he’s had in a long time. I love the words, music, and he sounds great. It may not top “What I need to do”, but it comes close. I grin now every time I get to the line that says “pretty good on a lonely night.” Last night, the song came on the radio and my mom’s response to that line was “I bet he is”.
What are your 4th of July plans?
Today is day 3 of my vacation. Have I mentioned I get two weeks off for Christmas? And that I get paid for it? Oh, how I love my job. I can’t believe three days are gone already!
I spent Wednesday finishing my Christmas shopping and gift wrapping. Thursday, I did some “spring” cleaning and then Kristi and I went to see Daughtry in Nashville. It was a really good show. I think he did all of the songs from the cd. Our seats weren’t the greatest but they were not as bad as I thought “limited view” seats would be. Click here to see my pictures.
Today, I lost 5 pounds at least…..of hair! I finally went and got it cut. My hair had gotten so long it was driving me crazy. Plus, I somehow never got around to getting my “fall” color. So today I got a bunch chopped off and a new fall/winter color. Let me know what you think in the comments (and by that I mean only if you like it. Keep any negative comments to yourself ).
