Call me weird, but I am one of those people who listens to Two Girls and A Guy on 95sx every morning while getting ready for work. No, I don’t agree with most of the things they say, but I sure do laugh a lot! So when they began to advertise their Two Girls and A Guy Christmas Party with Colbie Caillat my ears perked up! I thought to myself…”I’ve never seen Brooke Ryan or Tanya Brown in person before…I love Colbie Caillat especially at the music farm…this could be a cool Christmas present!” Ching Ching!! Two tickets bought and printed off for me and Savvy to go!

The great thing about venues like this when they bring in someone like Colbie is that they bring in some of those smaller named artist who have big voices that tend to go unnoticed until they are followed up by a bigger name. Kevin Hammond opened for Colbie. He is from Wisconsin and his voice will make you melt to the floor. I could not do anything but stare. Yes! I got judged by Savvy, but I was alright with being punished for that. Check him out at http://www.myspace.com/kevinhammond.

Then Colbie came out and sang pretty much everyone of my favorite songs. I just don’t know why she couldn’t sing the Christmas ones since it is a Christmas party and all. haha! Oh well. I am glad I got to hear Fearless and I Never Told You…two of my favorites from her new CD because they basically tell my hearts story about a guy of the past in my life. Not to underwrite Colbie, but was excited to see that Justin Young was back with her…he is HOT stuff too…musically too! Check Justin out at http://www.myspace.com/justinyoung.

And with all that being said… I have an enjoyable evening with my best friend!

Too soon?

Today was PT’s birthday so I cooked her (as requested) a homemade pumpkin pie. I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin, but it was pretty darn good if I must say so myself.

Following the dinner party we decided we needed something to do. A couple of ideas were tossed around and we finally came up with decorating our Christmas tree. For some this is a completely foreign and unlawful act, but if you could have only heard the Christmas Spirit!!!

Deep in the SWAMP!

This weekend the CSU BUCS went to Gainesville, Florida to the SWAMP to play the University of Florida Gators. I traveled down to Florida with Savvy, Matt and Clint. It was a long trip to drive down and back in one day. We arrived back to Charleston at 4:30 a.m. Some fun times:

we enjoyed some boiled peanuts on the way down
motel 6 with just the 4 of us
Savannah slept the WHOLE way back!
“Now how does it work that they called us up to play us and pay us $450,000 to beat us?” – Clint to Tam; Pause……”Or did they email us!” – Clint; “hahahhahahhahahhhaha” – Matt
frat house road crossers xing
Matt singing Hey, YOU There and I’m on a Boat!
being welcomed by some people with some explicit language.
Worship service in the car at 3 a.m.
hitting curbs in the middle of University of Florida’s campus
“Are they saying Sigfreid?” – Clint to Matt about the lyrics to Sweet Dreams (Beyonce)
Where’s Waldo? — 5 miles ahead!

Below are some of the pictures from the weekend:

Wonders of Wednesday!

Here are a bunch of random insights about the wonders of this Wednesday…the third day of the sixth month in the year 2009. I am not so sure you really care, but since I am not sure I have anything profound to write about, but I am long overdue on posting some blog entries I will try this one for today.

1. I had lunch today with Beth and Coach Kelly (DAD) at none other than THE Chickfila. Thanks to Beth AND Coach I had a FREE meal! Woot Woot! I am looking forward to the blog posting that Beth will be making at http://fromthesecretarysdesk.blogspot.com about our lunch date.

2. I finished typing in 1100 SCBC email addresses into my contact list to email the Summer Missions Poster out to the churches. FINALLY done and tried to email out the poster. You can only send an email out to 500 people at a time. Then I try to fit them on three and google tells me I have reached my limit of emails for the day…try again tomorrow. What in the world!? I thought Google owned the world and could handle some monster emails like that. HA!

3. Savannah came to spend the evening with me and we watched “He’s Just Not That In To You!” I am not sure that was what I needed to watch during such a cynical mood. I think that I might stick to the decision to never get married…oh but wait!…I might just be reading into the signs that are not there…so what’s a girl to do?

4. Sonic is giving out FREE Old Fashioned Root Beer floats today from 8 p.m. – 12 a.m. I am not going to indulge though. I hope every one else who scored a free treat enjoyed.

5. Tara Leigh Cobble has taken a break from mind-blowing tweets to just share some every day life tweets with the world. This should be so insightful. Follow her at http://www.twitter.com/taraleighcobble.

6. Miley Cyrus announces that she is going on tour with METROSTATION and tickets will be on sale at ticketmaster.com. As if that was not enough for all of those HM/MC fans – She is also releasing her clothing line at Walmart and Walmart.com. Join in the fun, right?

7. I definitely bought a new Macbook Pro today and getting that FREE (rebated) iPod Touch with it. I might be slightly crazy for dropping some dollars, but its gonna be so worth it.

8. I went to Zaxby’s with Savy for dinner and I got the Chicken Finger sandwich meal. I have to admit I was a slight bit disappointed in the delight of those chicken fingers on the toasted and buttered bun. It just didn’t seem to be very fresh tonight. Sweet Tea made up for it (almost)! Then as I got in the car to leave I have a little itching on my neck. I was nervous that I was having an allergic reaction to my dinner. Kinda reverted back to a night in the Spring semester when Savy had an allergic reaction starting with itching on her neck. Thank goodness it quickly passed.

9. I have been trying to strategize on how to move people around in the offices without putting up a partition wall in my office. I think I have it somewhat figured out. Instead of moving everyone else I might just make the move myself. (Don’t fret – I am not leaving CSU nor am I moving from the BC).Might be different when you return from summer though.

10. I have a desire to bring the FLAIR app back on Facebook as a cool and happening thing. Want to join my fun? Try sending some encouraging and laughter-filled flair to your friends. They usually return the favor once you get the train going! Lots of cool new ones…Stalker, DWTS, LOVE, Summer, and Tweets.
