Bringing the Drama

last night i got in pretty late from a birthday party, but i was planning on getting tickets for Ryan Adams in ATL in October. this would be the 2nd of two shows for Ryan Adams Road Trip 2008. i fell asleep last night though and did not set an alarm. i woke up this morning in my clothes from the night before at 8:55 am….5 minutes before tickets were going to go on sale because it was 10 am eastern time. i saw the time and said “Thanks God!” i got on the computer and got two tickets, because i had a feeling my friend who i had not heard from still wanted to go, and if not, i got 4th row behind the pit on RA’s side of the stage! yes, that’s right, to go along with my 2nd row on the right side of the stage in Tuscaloosa, for ATL i’ll be a little further back but on the left side of the stage. not bad not bad. TM did the same thing this time and sent me a code for a free iTunes song after gouging me for $12 per ticket ‘convenience’ charges. jerks.

after breakfast, i went out and mowed my lawn. it’s been raining here almost every other day it seems the past couple of weeks, so i hadn’t had a chance to cut my grass with it being wet. so today was tough going because even at 11:00 am, it seemed really hot. i made it through though with the mowing, but came to realize that my weedeater had died yesterday. i was going to have to get a new one to complete the yard work this afternoon.

i was wondering what time Fay would be getting here, and thought it would be this evening, so i actually went out to walmart on a Saturday afternoon. i was hoping i’d be back before any rain started. i went over to Sears and got a new weedeater. i got home and put it together and my gosh, it is so much better than my old one. i’m glad that one burned up! the new one disintegrated everything in its path. i think the sound of my new weedeater motivated the old lady behind me to get her son to weedeat her yard. i don’t know if he lives there or what, but he usually does all her yardwork.

anyway, as i was finishing with the new weedeater, i noticed sometime after mowing the lawn, the old lady behind me had let her dog crap in my yard again. i hate that. it’s not so much that i hate flinging the poo back in her yard (which i do), it’s that she’s so inconsiderate of me. any suggestions to show her who’s boss? i am open to them.

i grilled out with some pork tenderloin, and combined it with mac and cheese and steamed broccoli for a fabulous preseason game meal. the Saints beat the Bengals, and then i went back to watching the Olympics. did you know the world record for 5000m is 12 something minutes? that’s almost 3 miles! that’s crazy!

ok, so that was my rather interesting Saturday. i’m going to bed so i can wake up at 1:30 am to watch the basketball game and maybe water polo. then i’ll go back to sleep for church. i’m dedicated for sure to the live Olympics. no sign of Fay yet, but i figure it’ll be raining sometime tomorrow morning. my yard is ready for it though!
