Don't you all love how i keep you on track to the days of the week.. I mean it's the least i can do for the elder population of my readers (and you know who you are... yup you!)
Anyway... i am really glad that the weekend is here. to be honest, the week wasn't as long as it could have been, but i still want a weekend. And tonight, we have a backyard party to go to, and that's always fun. Some friends that we see music with are having a get together to celebrate Summer (Which states promptly at 6:00pm tonight... well both the party and summer start at 6, but i was talking about the summer part.)
I even broke out of of my dresses today in celebration of summer.
SO, i have decided not to go to Michigan.. And you all are looking to each other saying, Michigan? why in the world was she going back to Michigan.. Well let me tell you, for music of course.. so, we are seeing five nights of panic coming up next weekend, (well friday- sunday and then tuesday and wednesday) then the band is playing a music festival in Michigan, which of course happens to be run by the management company that managed String Cheese. So they are local. Anyway. Jeff got a free pass and a photo pass for the festival so i was thinking about just hitching a ride with him and hitting the festival too.. If they would give me a ticket too.. but it seems they wont give an extra out, so i am going to stay home, (well come back to Denver after Kansas City shows) I think i am going to rent a car in KC and drive it back to the airport where i will park my car before going out of town.. Then jeff will head to Michigan and then down to his folks house for a day and to pick up some stuff, then head back home..
Well all of this means that i am going to be here and with a day off on independence day..After 10 hours of driving on Thursday back from KC, i am not sure i will be up for spending more on (who's a moron..sorry) anyway, don't want to pay for more gas, so i might just set up my new pool... grab some beers (if i can at that time) and relax with the dogs.. or just sleep on the sofa for three days straight..
So, just to keep you all in the loop, so to speak, i would start crossing things and opening that line of communication to the big cheese in the sky around this time next week... (maybe a few days earlier..)
That's about it, have a wonderful weekend and if things work out as planned, you are NOT going to want to miss the photos and hopefully some video i will be posting... believe me..!!!!

Are we there yet???
Holy Cow, i am tirred and could use a nap..
Yesterday i went home and did what i told you all i was going to do. I slipped into my bathing suit, got the hose, the shampoo and a leash. Rounded up my two dogs and everyone got baths.
That was fun. My poor boy dog just looks sad when he gets wet and there is no swimming involved. He sits and hold his head about three inches off the ground and just looks sad. My girlie dog HATED every second of the bath and made sure that i got just as wet as she did...
After baths my by dog and i went for a walk, as i am still reaching my 10,000 steps a day.
We came home to tacos just about ready to be served. Couldn't have timed it better if i timed it. They were delicious.
Just as we were settling in to watch Big brother, my boyfriend check the wall calendar that is in the kichen and I head an "oh Shit". So i ask what? and he says. Kraftwerk is at the Fillmore tonight and I have tickets. It was 7pm. He rushed to the computer to check the start time of the band and it was slated to start at 8. I think we were both dressed in street clothes and out the door in about 10 minutes..(that with letting the dogs out, fixing a drink and making sure we had the tickets, wallets, IDs, etc) So we head down there. It was a good show. These guys were big in the 80s and are from europe. They are electronica, like old school style, so very minimal, but it was good.. Good to get out of the house too.
But boy am i getting old. after getting to bed kinda late, i am really in need of a nap. I will get my 10,0000 steps in, just after a good rest.
So, did you hear that that kid Orlando Brown, was found, and like i said, I am pretty sure it was just for publicity.. That sucks, I would have loved some story about getting nabbed by some street gang and tied up by his toenails and made to watch "That's so Raven" for hours on end. Much better story to me.
Rockies are getting used to giving the game up in the last innings lately. So far was have officially lost the last 4 games by having a crappy bullpen. that sucks..
And speaking of that we are playing the Cubbies again tonight.. boy could we use a win out here..
I am working on a story about these two journalists in Iraq that got kidnapped and then were eventually let go by some lucky circumstances.. what a crazy story, but it is making the day go by much faster. I like when i archive stories that are really interesting. I have to see a lot of Iraq footage that will never make it to mainstream and I can tell you it is NOT pretty. This is a better kind of story because i know it will not end in seeing some person's innards.
UMMMM, not that i made myself hungry, i better go see what is for snack.. Here are some interesting tid-bits to read while i am gone.

- OK, first thing i want to catch up on is DID YOU SEE THE 22 INNING GAME??? well i wouldn't expect you to have seen the game, but did you hear about it. What an amazing feat. I can't believe they didn't call it, but now we hold the record for the longest game in the last 15 years. And thanks to my main man, Tulowitzki, he won it for us and let everyone go to bed. Last night's game the commentators were saying there was another team that was complaining of playing because they're plane was late and they didn't get to the hotel until like 2AM. and the guy was like "Rockies aren't going to give any sympathy. they didn't stop playing until 2:30AM the other night and they played an afternoon game the next day.
But we need a MUCH better bullpen to pull this season out. We have been really loosing games because of the relief pitching.. They all suck.
- The Dude from That's So Raven, Orlando Brown, has been missing since tuesday. The thing i read said that he left his managers home to walk to the local 7-11 and has never returned. This day and age, it is sad, but my first reaction is, I am sure it is for publicity, what does he have coming out soon, when is it going to be released.. Today, it isn't enough to put up a poster with a date and time and expect people to know about your event, gig, movie. etc. People have to go to all kinds of lengths to get things noticed. I hope he is OK, and nothing bad had happened fir sure.. Please prove me wrong and come back with some wild tale of LA gangs.

OK, What priest thinks it's a good idea to strap himself to some balloons and sail off.. I mean really.. What went wrong there??? Did they not check the wind forecast, did they not predict that maybe they should tether him? Follow with a boat, a helicopter. I am just an archivist at a small television station and i can think of this stuff, what the heck went wrong?? And they said that he was really prepared, thermal suit, flotation chair, parachute, satilite phone... When is the time that you don't see land anymore and think, maybe i shouldn't use this phone to call for help.. I really want to know what happened there.. Keeping my ears open for that news.- 30 days of debauchery update. I had a whiskey drink before bed last night.. that was all i could come up with short of throwing myself down a flight of stairs, but we don't have stairs, so i had to settle with the whiskey.
- And I have noticed that i have not given you the interesting tid-bits about the day lately. I apologize, and to be honest i got lazy. But don't fret, they are back.. Here is what you would have missed about today if i didn't post it.
