Back at work today and I'm really just hatin' life. This is the very last place I want to be. Apparently it was for Emerson too. He quit his job on Monday, was called in for a meeting on Tuesday, then got an offer today to take a higher position with the same company at almost twice the pay. What? Did that really happen? I know I can't believe it ( Read more... )

Knoxville is nice. I'm visiting a friend of a friend. We're talking about driving down to the Smokey Mountains tomorrow. I love fun road trips. I'm headed back to the same hotel I was in when I posted last on Sunday. Just the thought of it is freaking me out. I'm ready to get back home. Maybe a movie would be fun tomorrow and help get my mind off

I feel pretty comfortable venting here because not very many people read this. I'm in Chattanooga on business and hopped down to the bar in the hotel for a beer or two. I'd already had a couple before I arrived. I sat by a couple of guys and started a friendly conversation. I had a teacher with me (a beautiful black man) and we enjoyed a couple of ( Read more... )

I had a friend in town this weekend for Super Bulldog Weekend and we partied like rock stars. No, really, we did. Thursday night we caught Young Agent Jones at Dave's. We went looking for an after party, but didn't really find anything so we drank until 5am at the house. Friday Morning, got a call from JJ (lead singer of YAJ) and met him and the ( Read more... )

Just got back from a few days in Philadelphia (MS that is). Jules went with me for a few days while I sat at an exhibit. I did take one afternoon off to spend in the SPA. I had a massage while Jules had a body wrap and we both hung out in the hot tub, sauna, etc. I didn't win big, but I didn't lose big either and we had a good time together as ( Read more... )

Today I had pretty fun day. I judged a science fair, purchased new glasses, finalized a presentation for tomorrow and gathered up the things I need for busy, busy Wednesday ( Read more... )

Okay, so I went to the movies last night (which you already know) and I let Emery go to the MSU Basketball game with a friend. On the way to drop him off we have this conversation ( Read more... )

Last night I went to see Children of Men with a few friends. This is the first adult (rated R) movie I've seen in a long time. I had heard from a couple of people that it was no good, not to waste my money, but I went anyway and LOVED it. It's certainly not a pick me up movie, but it has a few very powerful scenes and it really got me thinking, ( Read more... )

I'm feeling very Jr. High lately. There's this friend who dropped off the face of the earth about 6 months ago after we were spending just about everyday together. All of sudden I'm receiving these text messages and emails saying, "We should get together soon." Part of me wants to get together and part of me wants no part of it. I feel like if she ( Read more... )

I went out with the boys last night. I just love hanging out with the guys. We had beer and dinner at Anthony's and talked about all the funky restaurants we can open. Tom picked up the tab (you're the best) and offered to clean my carpet for free. Lee, you never cease to amaze me with the things you manage to accomplish...and Woody...ah, Woody, ( Read more... )
