Deer, Speech, Copper and Nascar

Well, it's been an interesting weekend. I was heading down to my sister's on Friday night and was almost there when a deer hit my car. Okay, maybe I actually hit it, but I guess it doesn't matter. The deer didn't make it. My car is pretty banged up but I was able to drive it to my sister's House. I think I may still be in shock. Brently was freaking out a little bit, but he actually didn't do too bad. I don't know if it helped or not that he wasn't with me. I also wanted to make sure to say that I was talking or texting when I hit the deer. I was singing VERY loud.

The car is now at the body shop and I have a rental. I'm going to be traveling for work next week, but I don't have to drive which is good because I have 100 mile a day limit. It's about 40 miles round trip to work, so I should be okay.

I spent Saturday judging district speech. I had a lot of really talented kids come my way. State should be great. While I was judging, my terrific in-laws were able to help me out with the rental, etc. I picked up the rental over my lunch break.

After speech, I headed to watch Jakey play basketball. They got first place in the tournament and he was excited to get a trophy. He didn't play a ton, but when he was in there, he did a GREAT job.

My sister and the kids have a new member of their family. Copper the dog joined them a few weeks ago. He's my newest nephew. He is a hyper little dog, but then again, he's just a puppy. I loved him already. I took him for a couple of walks and he laid by me on the couch for most of the time I was there.

My sister and I went out on the town Saturday night. Saw some friends I hadn't seen for a while so that was nice, but we were looking for some more action and found none. It was kind of disappointing, but we made it through okay.

I made it home today. Stopped and grabbed lunch for Brently and I which is a Sunday afternoon tradition. He doesn't eat out very often. Since losing all of his weight, he's pretty picky about what he eats. I gave up French Fries for lent, so I did not get myself any fries.

Now I'm watching the NASCAR race and Brently is downstairs watching hockey. It's a nice relaxing afternoon after a crazy weekend.

I'm not really ready to go to work on Monday, but I'm only in the office for a couple days, so I should be able to make it. It looks like I might play some poker on Saturday night. When I do this, I get to hang out with a couple good friends from high school.

Until the next time....

The Office

The Office may be one of the best shows ever. This is of course, after FRIENDS, which is the best show ever. I love that I can watch it two times every night. The one tonight is when Jim and Pam steal Andy's phone and then he punches a hole in the wall. It's also where Andy asks where his phone is that Jim says, "Maybe it's in the ceiling" and then Andy says, "Maybe you're in the ceiling." Okay, so it may not sound funny reading it, but trust me, it was funny.

I'm heading North for work tomorrow. Not too far North, just a couple hours. Then I head to Shen to judge district speech on Saturday.

It's late, I'm heading to bed.

Night.

Holy Cow...

Wow...has it really been a year since I've "blogged" ?? A lot has happened in a year, some good, some bad but I must have made it through it all...

I'm going to try and do this more often....maybe it will make me deal with stuff in a more calm way. Or to put it another way - if I do this, maybe I won't kill anyone!!!

Stay tuned...
