It has been awhile, hasn't it? I didn't think that I would be THAT bad at keeping up, but I guess when one gets really busy...
Highlights:
THE BABY
My little niece can tell it's my voice! Well, I think she can....I said bye to her the other day (into my sister's stomach of course), and she moved a lot. I'm SO excited!! I am the ONLY true auntie. I have no brothers or sisters in law. IT'S JUST ME, whoo hoo!
THE CHARGERS
Yes, friends...that crazy 2005 football season has begun. My Chargers, off to an interesting start against Dallas. They lost, but not without looking good...I know that sounds stupid, but if you knew my Chargers, then you would understand.
COLDPLAY
What an awesome band. I saw them 8/26/05. They absolutely sound better than their album, hands down. Chris Martin is totally self depricating, but in a humerous way. Just don't EVER have a "special cookie"* prior to anything that you really want to be conscious for. Other than that, wonderful company (friend from work), awesome band, and spectacular venue (Coors Amphitheater).
*Please also refer to the definition of "special brownie". If I have to explain what a "special browine" is then you defenitely do not deserve to have it defined for you.
THE QUILT
What's THAT about, you ask? I handmade...yes, you are reading correctly...HANDMADE a quilt for Madrid's baby shower. I have never made a quilt before that, but I didn't have time to knit one, so I had to make something. There was no way that I could just buy something for her new boy. I'll have to say that I did a pretty damn good job.
THE HOUSE
It is looking very pretty and it's just the bathrooms left. My mom agreed to use the spare room as "Craft Central"! I will be buying storage bins for my stamps and paper, and the sewing machine will also go in there, too. Anything kinda "left over" will be housed in that room.
THE BLOCK PARTY
What a day! Fun for everyone, and everyone enjoyed the house. LOTS of compliments. My relatives couldn't believe it was the same house. I guess it was so dark that you couldn't see any of the existing features because everyone kept asking if we added the sliding doors, sky light, arched opening between the kitchen and family room, and the fireplace! The spaces are so much more open now that you can see everything. Lots of compliments for the contractor, and for the decorator (moi!).
JOHN MAYER TRIO
Oh. My. God.
Critics: step aside and welcome in a new guitar legend.
My ONLY 2 complaints for the day: WHAT THE FUCK WITH MY CHARGERS LOSING TO DALLAS, and "Hey John, Greg Brady called and wants his hairstyle back!"
Other than that, a great time at the San Diego House of Blues with awesome friends (from the My Stupid Mouth message board...BIG SHOUT OUT TO TrudyESP, HotAsh, Sabatnoogen, Pearl, and SUCKER4U. What an awesome venue.
MY JOB
ARGH. Didn't get promoted...yet. I threatened to leave if something doesn't happen by the year end review, and suddenly I have meeting requests to go over ways that I can be promoted. Whatever.
ROCKSTAR INXS
The following song is completely and totally stuck in my head. It was written by my fave to win, JD Fortune, along with Andrew Ferris of INXS.
PRETTY VEGAS
Fallin’ asleep at the wheel again baby,
You’re driftin’ over the line.
You’re hands are tied, but you’re losin’ grip quickly
Fix me, can you read the sign…
Thumbin’ your way to Vegas, dirty
Dreamin’ of the other side…
Save your tears and laughter because
It doesn’t matter what you find
It ain’t pretty
After the show…
It ain’t pretty when the pretty leaves you
With no place to go.
So, if you think you need it,
Here’s the place to feed it…
It ain’t pretty.
When, everything that you do is wrong,
And you
Feel like you can barely survive…
When those around you
Are crumblin’ downwards
Buried in the sunset of life.
Thumbin’ your way to Vegas, dirty
And screamin’ like a bitch from hell,
Save your dreams
Up your patience
Doesn’t matter what you sell…
It ain’t pretty
After the show
It ain’t pretty when the pretty leaves you
With no place to go…
So, if you think you want it…
Here’s the place to get it,
It ain’t pretty
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It ain’t pretty…
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Thumbin’ your way to Vegas, dirty
Dreamin’ like you’re out of control,
Save your tears and laughter
Because this is the ride…
And this is the show…
It ain’t pretty
After the show…
It ain’t pretty when the pretty leaves you
With no place to go
So, if you think you want it
Just come in and get it
It ain’t pretty…
Honorable mentions:
- 9/11 was spent at the John Mayer Trio concert, and he played "Covered In Rain". If you are a JM fan, then you know what it means to hear that song on that day. I can't go into too much detail, because I was in Washington DC during 9/11. Still stings to think about it.
- Visited Wednesday in LA during Labor Day. Very fun filled day full of shopping and organic apple pie.
-UNLV couldn't make it to the Block Party, but he will be coming down for my great aunt's birthday. It will be SO NICE to see him. I've missed him a lot.
-Can anyone have tapas WITHOUT sangrias?! Ten and I did, and it sucked. We WILL have tapas with sangrias, by God.
-Just wanted to mention my dad. I need to visit him.
Ok kids, that's all for now. Rock on.
