happy happy birthday

I would like to say that I hope Chris had a wonderful birthday, that I hope I get a new bike soon because my commute was extra long to the VA, and that I'm enjoying Regis Philbin being on prime time tv

I love this bar....

I would like to say that getting breakfast with Dundon, Ry, Ed and Jamie was a little nerve-wracking given that we still didn't get seated after a 1+ wait at Brenda's, but the breakfast at Lori's was good, and that the Trace Atkins/Toby Keith concert was amazing, particuarly the American finale.

joint juice

I would like to say that I really hope that this cortisone shots i got in my butt this week work (i'm keeping my fingers crossed but not getting my hopes up), that having dinner and Fraiche with Katie and Maria was a lot of fun, and it was great to see Katie and I'm glad she came out from Iowa to visit, and that I'm glad Nate is back from the east coast (that's for my 1 follower)

the great outdoors

I would like to say that I have a lot to say about this weekend: camping at night during a thunderstorm is pretty awesome/slightly scary, making smores is one of my favorite things to do and Ryan's potato packets in the fire were delicious, my Jenny-sized camping chair that we picked up for $12 at Ace hardware and camping is just perfect, and I'm not good at peeing without a toilet and usually end up peeing on my toes.
