A great show...

It's been a long time since I have been to a concert...I don't even remember the last one I went to. But that streak has ended and I ended it right...with a trip to see WEEN at The Tabernacle. What an amazing show! I am sure most of you have not heard of Ween, they are not your typical mainstream band. Chris turned me onto them when we got together...they are quite odd, but what a show. I was so impressed by the guitarist...Lacey and I were pretending like we were playing guitar hero...but sadly there is NO way I could ever be that good. He was amazing!

Oh yeah, we even had a brush with celebrity there...Ty Pennington (Extreme Home Makeover host) was standing about 3 feet away from us. Apparently he really loves Ween too, he was really getting into it (I think he may have had a few too many!) And yes, he is just as hot in person as he is on tv...(sorry Chris)

dang.

"Fox is expected to take in a total of $225 million in advertising revenue on Super Bowl Sunday."

That is a lot of advertising money.

I have been lazy...

about updating this blog...sorry. Good thing is I have been very busy with work so I will let that be my excuse! January seems to always be a hard month for me, in many ways...the anniversary of Tony's death, the anniversary of my emergency surgery last year, plus it is just so dark and dreary! I am starting to long for warm weather again...

I spent last week in Nashville, working on a CD-Rom project for LifeWay. While I was there, I let my mother perm my hair. BAD idea! I have fried my hair and I am going to have to cut it off to get it to look decent again! At first, it looked like I stepped out of 1989, it was so bad!!! I guess it is time for a new haircut anyways. I'll post some pics when I get it done!

I have decided to sign up for the half marathon in Nashville in April. I have to do something to get back into shape. I meet with a personal trainer on Monday so wish me luck!!!

Max is in the final stretch of chemo. 5 more treatments...next week he gets more scans done of his chest. Hopefully we will get the same good news we got before!

working...

So I am pretty slammed with work at the moment. I have my headphones on and I am not really paying attention to my surroundings...BUT, I turned around and saw this!
How in the heck am I supposed to get anything done when everyone else looks so comfy???

Happy 2008!

It's here. It feels good to get out of 2007, we had quite a few trying times to deal with. I am very glad to be starting off 2008 so well. Freelance is going great, Chris started school again yesterday, and Max and Samus are healthy.

We had a wonderful time during the holidays. We spent some lazy time in Nashville, goofing off, playing the wii and just having fun. A couple of days at the zoo with my parents and their 4 dogs, 2 birds and a cat, a few days at the in-laws and 2 days with a good old buddy, Dale, who just happened to have a 9 foot projection screen that we completely got addicted to while playing tennis on the wii. Our TV feels so tiny now!

So like I said, I am happy to have 2007 behind me, although it went by so fast. I still struggle with the fact that the older you get, the faster time goes...every new year seems to pass by in a blur. I hope to be able to enjoy this year...and I hope you enjoy 2008 as well.
