Show me your "O" face

Last week my great friend Kary offered me a free ticket to see John Mayer at Summerfest. While I am not a huge fan, I thought "That should be fun" so I went. It was a great show, even though I didn't know many of the songs. The best part? The faces he makes and the fact that I got a little celeb crush :)

The next day was the dentist (all clear!) and a party out in the Falls for my friends birthday and the Fourth of July. While watching the parade I saw the Glassmen, a drum corps from Toledo, OH (the weird part was that I had just been talking about them that morning). After the parade got boring I went back to Sarah's and was just hanging out when I heard that unmistakeable sound of a drum corps warming up. Warming up, not warming down! How excited was I? So, I ditched the party and headed over there! They did a park and blow, which means no movement, but they played some good songs, and part of their show for the year. Fantastic, I was in heaven! And I just kept thinking that I wanted my dad there with me. I phoned Tianna and she heard the whole thing!

The next day was the Fourth, but for me it was preparation for the 5th which was my aunts surprise birthday party. Tianna and I did a little shopping, I did a little more shopping, and then a little more...and then cooking until 2am!

The 5th started at 7am so I could pack everything up, get to the one store that wasn't open on the 4th, and head over to Kathie's to clean and prepare. Well, Kathie was still there! She didn't really comment that it was weird for me to be there that early, but apparently she thought it. She finally left and the real work began. We began tearing the house apart, hiding things, and generally just tidying up. The guests started to arrive and we were wondering...where is Kathie? She finally showed up and boy was she surprised! It was fantastic, an actual surprise party!

That night we went to the casino, but my heart wasn't in it. My face had gotten all red and dry again...and was spreading to my hands...again. But, it was fun. That night I slept at Kathie's so I could wake up to "Breakfast at Wimbledon". But, instead of strawberries and cream we had bacon, eggs, and pancakes. I love America!

This week has flown by, work is hectic and crazy and busy. Monday night at the Deuce brought in seventy bucks, which was extremely helpful and I'm extremely grateful. Otherwise, I've been just busy getting everything together to go to Orlando in a few weeks. Nuts, huh?

So, that's my little world in a cute little nutshell that is me. And the kittens-they're also fantastic as per usual.

Hi, Ande!

1. First things first. I decided to steal your quote for awhile. I had a burst of estrogen today and this quote kind of relates to it.

2. I saw John Mayer a couple years ago with Jesse at the Xcel. At the time I didn't know any of his newer songs but ended up REALLY liking them.

3. I'm going to send you a song or two if I can get it to work.

4. Sounds like things are good! What is your life looking like in September or October? You should plan a trip up - to visit Baby Heuer #2 among other things (Carly and I).

Love ya! SAP
