since that fateful night with friends at the Greek Fest, i have been going non stop. work has been crazy lately with a big review coming up at the end of this week. that means we’ve been working on slides and reports lately. it’ll all be over once the review is over, and thanks to some forward thinking by one of my managers (i kind of have 5 different bosses/managers) we are done all the main stuff and this week are just tying up loose ends and checking details.
last weekend though, after working a few hours of OT, i went out with some friends in NOLA, hoping to meet up with a friend from Birmingham who was in town for a wedding. she didn’t show, but i still had a good time riding the street car and meeting friends of friends. btw, why does anyone order a beer if they don’t like beer? why order a beer and then only take a sip and be done with it? order a mixed drink or at least water! Sunday i met up with Jacob at the pub to watch some soccer. it was the first time all season we had gone to the pub together, which was a shame.
later in the evening, Whitney and i hit up Brandi Carlile. the show was much better than i thought it would be. i mean, i know my friend Brandi loves Brandi, but the past few months i had taken some of her songs off my iPod. she played a lot of new songs, and everything was acoustic. the new songs were great! and she covered Johnny Cash, the Beatles, and Radiohead. it was an excellent show. the crowd was unique as well, and some 60 something year old lady was trying to move me out of her way so she could move up. i stood my ground. i don’t care if she was only 5 feet tall, i was there first! also Whitney said her breath was horrible.
i’m going to yadda yadda work last week. amongst the highlights were walking past BO Guy on the way out one day and in the midst of saying “have a good night, see you tomorrow!” i took a big whiff of BO and almost suffocated at ’see you tomorrow’. things have been really weird with him lately. he’s been on the phone a lot with health food type people, and he asked some lady last week if avocados and tomatos were considered fresh vegetables. that’s not even the weirdest thing.
the other big things last week were the making of the homemade pasta sauce and the restoration of the front flower beds at my house. the restoration was a 3 day affair, but now i look like i have an actual landscaped front yard. here’s a picture my dad took Sunday afternoon:
actual mulch! hopefully the precautions we took with the weed screens will prevent the weeds from taking over again. also, i killed a few hundred ants in the process and that felt good.
