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.

I hope I DON'T get this for Christmas

So, Chris and I went Christmas shopping yesterday... first time we have been able to do that together in about 3 years! We went to the Mall of Georgia which is one of the largest in the US... and it was pretty big. We got lots of stuff for everyone including ourselves (just a few things) but one thing we did NOT buy was the animatronic Elvis head. We saw this thing up close and in person and it really creeped me out! I would be scared of it if it was at my house! It really did have a realistic feel to it...his lips and eyes move...it is so creepy. Chris thinks they made it for all the women that wanted to make out with Elvis and never got the chance! HA! Anyways, if anyone out there is looking for a good time, I know where to get one, just let me know!

What a great day!!!!!

Today has been wonderful. Chris had his final critique for first quarter at Portfolio Center today...I am so proud of him, he has done such hard work and really has pushed himself this quarter. He is in class with some incredibly talented folks so it makes me really happy to see him hanging in there and doing such a good job. GO CHRIS!!!!!

ALSO...today was Max's halfway point with chemotherapy. The great news is that they did new x-rays today and he is CANCER-FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEA!!!!! That makes me sooooooooo happy! They said his x-rays looked like the chest of a normal dog that had never had cancer! He has 8 more treatments before he gets done with chemo, but now he only has to go every other week. What a happy day. I couldn't be more pleased with the way things are working out.
