When you say nothing at all.

Hola.

Yay, we've made it to Wednesday. I'm not sure that I'll ever get over living for the weekend.

I don't have too much to say today. We've been doing a lot of quiet weekends. The highlight was an infinitely better celebrity sighting than the last one I mentioned. We were at the grocery store one Saturday afternoon. Walking down an aisle, I passed a lady who looked familiar. I got butterflies in my stomach and was nervous. I told Hal, "OMG, I think that is Alison Krauss!" He confirmed my suspicion. I'll admit we stalked her around the store a little (it wasn't busy and she didn't even notice us). I have been a big fan of hers for a long time. Like, since back in the days when I belonged to BMG and got a bunch of tapes in the mail that I didn't really order. Well, I rarely liked any of them, but I loved hers. She has such a unique voice. The funny thing is, she was with a man who she was talking to in a funny voice (like baby talk--you know you do it too sometimes). It's fun to see someone famous in a casual situation like that. We've seen her perform the national anthem at a hockey game before, but wow, she was so close I could touch her. I resisted though and didn't even say anything to her. Definitely a highlight of my celeb sightings.

Other than that, I've had fun at a wine party, finally took a day off work and we even went to a minor league baseball game game Monday night for an outing for my company. I usually talk so much at baseball games, that I don't really even know what is going on. Good times though.

Hope you're doing well. I'll leave by mentioning that if you don't see the connection between my post & the title (don't even tell me you don't follow her music), it was Alison's cover of a Keith Whitley song--the song that started my affection for her. Thanks for ripping me off BMG with most of the tapes, but thanks for that one!

Checkin' In...

Hey there! Happy August!

July in Nashville was kick-ass. It rained a lot, but the upside is that the temperatures were way lower than normal. I think it didn't even top 80 degrees for several days in a row. That's a big change from what we usually get.

We'll see what happens in August. It sounds like we are getting back to reality with the hotness--not me--later this week.

Not much has really been going on since I blogged last. We went to an art gallery a week or so again, but no luck (in a reasonable price range). No rush though. I went to two going away parties this week. One on Wednesday for my manager (who's just leaving to go to our Portland, OR office) and another on Saturday for a friend that is moving to the ATL. Good times.

Yesterday, was kinda chill aside from lunch and a grocery visit. Oh, I guess I can mention that we saw this guy at a totally dive-y Mexican restaurant. Meow!

That's about all that is shakin right now. I've got a birthday coming up in a couple of weeks. We're thinking about taking a November trip this year. I just want to get away and not be too busy with checking out all the sites. A lazy kind of trip. We're thinking Las Vegas. I actually don't care about gambling, but Hal does, and I've never been to Vegas. It's really cheap right now--thanks, shitty economy. Shout if you know of any must sees or must avoids there.

Later, y'all!
