unforgettable

I went to a bachelorette party down at the beach last weekend. It was sunny and beautiful, and I think I'm still tired from the trip thanks to my busy work week/sickliness. We went to Rum Runners one night, and one of the dueling pianists had on this shirt...


Love it. I should probably get it. Yes? No?

is it wednesday yet?

I realized halfway (aka when everything was falling apart) through the day yesterday that it was the Ides of March. Naturally, I randomly said "Beware the Ides of March" ALL day as an alternative to "It is Monday." Aren't you glad you don't see me on Mondays? Or March 15th for that matter?

I think the best was when I explained what the Ides of March was to one of my senior engineers and rounded out the quick info session with something along the lines of me being a Shakespeare guru. Right, right, right.

Today has pretty much been another Monday for me at work. No worries though because tomorrow is one of my most favorite days o' the year, and then I am off to the beach for a long weekend. That instantly cheers me up along with this video...



I found this video a few weeks ago and had completely forgotten about it until this weekend when I showed it to the bro. We instantly laughed...multiple times.

weekend edition

This weekend was a total blast.

The broseph got in town in time to dine in Nashville on Friday, so I took him to one of my favorite spots...The Flying Saucer. We started with just the two us and ended with ten folks with him being the only guy. Fun times. After that we hit up Demonbreum for a little bit of socializing and musical fun.

Saturday we decided to hit up the Shoney's buffet for brunch because lets be honest. If you can eat Shoney's bfast buffet and lunch then you are amazing. After that we headed downtown to tour the Ryman which I had been wanting to do for a while. When our tour guide met up with us, he informed us that the last tour he gave had 21 people in it...ours was just the two of us. VIP. I sat my nice little hiney where many a musician have sat.

We also played the Ryman...


After the Ryman, we tried to tour Yazoo, but since they are moving to a new location soon it was packed. We got there around 4, and the next tour we could take was at 6:30. So we voted no, decided to go back downtown and fight the sea of blue that was Kentucky fans, and spend the rest of the evening there.

Oddly enough, we apparently had the same schedule as former president Lincoln since we saw him in the two bars we went to, and I'm pretty sure I eye flirted with him which I'm not sure if I'm excited about or weirded out about. I tried to take a picture but it's not that good.


Top Hat Close Up - He's basically looking over the bar. Love it.


Notice the Kentucky fans. I'm pretty sure we were the only non-KY fans each place we went. Well, there was this one lady who was part of a (bum, bum, BUM) house divided. She was a TN fan and her husband...you guessed it...KY. She pointed him to the storage room when he was trying to find the bathroom. It was pretty hysterical.

At the end of the night, we found ourselves running (sprint style) up commerce to get to our parking lot before it closed for the night. We are guessing we made it within maybe 30 seconds to spare because when I actually pulled my car down to leave the garage door was closed. No worries though...it automatically opened from the inside.

Sunday was another brunch day (Noshville instead of Shoney's) followed by a 10 mile run around town with three of the gals. Not the best day for running, but we made it happen.

I have a new show

I've been super excited about NBC's new show Parenthood since I first got wind of it late last year, and the fact that it was advertised every other commercial break did not hurt my excitement either. I'm a big fan of Gilmore Girls so I was glad to see a new show coming out with Lauren Graham...plus the rest of the cast is pretty amazing.

I'm two episodes in, and I love it. I've laughed. I've cried. I've laughed while crying. Enough, Beth, enough. The storylines are great. The music is wonderful. Seriously, though Beth. It's an hour long which I love, and it's on demand. It's always the small things for me. Lets just say...I definitely recommend it. I mean the pilot started with the Avett Bros Kick Drum Heart and ended with Dylan's Forever Young (which always gets to me). So on this terrific Thursday...enjoy this one on me.

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
