Doctor, Doctor, give me the news....

OK, so i went back to the doc today. she gave me my report from my blood draw that the lady hurt me on. And i am healthy as a horse, what ever that means. She says that all my levels are Fantastic!!! Sounds great to me. That's what i wanted to hear.
Sounds great to me..
Well, this week, i am anticipating it going very slowly because there is a TON of stuff going on this weekend that i am super excited about. This is in order of activity, not necessarily in order of my excitement level for that particualr event, although all are going to be great!!!
First, Thursday is the Great American Beer Fest. And this is a massive event at the convention center. We are excited because this is the first year we are able to ride the Lite Rail to the event and not have to worry about cabs and driving... perfect! This event is big in the beer world because it is the only fest that awards their awards by blind tastings. Meaning that the judges don't know the brand of beer they are drinking when judging. All beers are judged on how they fit to the exact specifications of that particular type. For example lets say we have three Porters (dark, black heavy beers) and lets say that beers one and two are brewed with a slightly different taste than what a perfect porter is supposed to taste like and the third one is on the money. Maybe beers one and two are a crowd favorite, but they didn't have the specifics, then three will win.. SO, it doesn't matter, except for crowd favorite award. So, some breweries really like it and some don't but it is the truest, non biased tasting there is...
But for us, plain old festival goers,. we can see what we are drinking and pick for ourselves... WEE go on Thursday but the event goes all weekend.
Then Friday and Saturday is WIDESPREAD PANIC BABY!!!!! Can't wait to see the boys again and hear some head bending tunes with Jimmy Herring.. SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!!
Then starting Sunday, the baseball boys are back in town to hopefully clinch the league series.. we will see. I am thinking i am going to be soo worn out by Sunday i won't be able to get off the sofa, but i would like to think that i would go try to get a ticket downtown. If i don't go on Sunday, i will most likely try for Monday's game.. I will go alone, but i am OK with that...
So, that is the deal, oh snack time, string cheese and mini éclairs. I have been walking at the gym every night and i think i am going to stay away from both. Good habits come from good decisions. right???
