Our Weekend

• After work on Friday, I went and got a new library card. I can't tell ya'll how excited I am over this. The library system has changed since the last time I've used my card. Did you know that you can see what books are at the library, when books that are currently out are due back, and you can renew your checked out book all online?! Seriously, I'm excited to check out a few books that I want to skim through but didn't want to purchase.
• Saturday, we mowed our lawn and cleaned up all the fallen tree limbs. We then took said limbs and boards from our fence (that we've been replacing) to the city dump. Then, we ran through the Dairy Queen for lunch - yum! Saturday night, we grilled out steaks and zucchini and made some baked potatoes in the oven - delish!
• Sunday, I went grocery shopping and we had an overall lazy day. Until... we went to see Jeff Dunham (picture above from TicketMaster site)! We bought tickets back in March and hubs has been excited ever since. I had no idea what to expect because I had never heard of him before. Honestly, I was a little scared he'd cross a few lines, but it was the BEST comedy show that I've ever seen! I've seen Larry The Cable Guy twice and he doesn't hold a candle next to Jeff Dunham! We will definitely be seeing Jeff again! And, if he comes to your area, you should seriously check him out!
  

I Love Trace...

Instead of a weekend recap, I'm just gonna fill ya'll in on my new love... Trace Adkins! LOL

• Friday evening, my sister, stepmom, and aunt loaded up and headed to Carino's for some pre-concert drinks and grub. We enjoyed Happy Hour drinks, yummy pasta, and dessert!
• We thought we'd try a new route over to the concert venue... yeah, not a good idea when the person who is giving you directions has had a nice, big yummy drink! Needless to say... we think we might've drove through a drug deal in the making and took a nice little tour of the ghetto...all the while, driving a new Yukon... Um, not a fabulous idea by any means, but it presented us with many, many (albeit scary) laughs!!!
• Because of our little detour, we made it to the concert and Trace was already singing... Wouldn't you know it, the ONE concert that starts on time....and we're late! ha!
• We sat at our awesome seats. Read = very, very, very lower level seats.
• Then proceeded to watch the handsome man himself shake those wonderful hips. Sigh.
• We spotted a lady in the first row who flashed Trace...um, lets say she was white trash and didn't have the goods to be showing everyone....
• Anyways, blah blah blah, great concert! That was the BEST concert that I've ever seen! It could've just been the great seats and that handsome man.... :) But, Martina was pretty good too! She even did a few old songs from Journey and Bon Jovi! Love it!
• Since we were a little late, we forgot to take pictures of us, but I did get a few with my iPhone. My sister had her real camera, but I've not seen those pictures yet.

Our seats were right by the "pit," so we got to see Martina's kids and Trace sitting watching Martina's show. Yes, that is Trace's cowboy hat! I was about 10 foot from him - sitting right above him!!! Ya'll don't know how badly I wanted to ask him for a picture or autograph! But, I was good!



Anyways, enough about my new love (yes, hubs knows that I have a thing for Trace now...). Thank you for all the comments on my little project that I've been working on. I have Photoshop Elements at home, but I'm not that great with it... So I use Picnik to edit most of my photos.

Btw, yes I did take pictures of Martina...but honestly, she looks like a troll doll in them! :)

Also...tonight is my first class at Grad School!!! I didn't sleep very well - I kept having dreams about binders! ha! Wish me luck - I'm gonna need it! The class I'm taking is called Decision Modeling in Information Systems....
