This is my life

Aaaand this is my Saturday afternoon:

A cold drink and some TV. Love.

I'm like this only because this is going on outside:

Can someone just come and get me when winter is over?

It's Just Me

You guys! How is it Thursday already?! We're about to embark on another weekend & I haven't even told you about last weekend! It was so awesome too! Here's some highlights:

Friday

We went to visit my uncle in the hospital. He's doing a lot better. He still has a long road to recovery, but he's really lucky. Here's the text my cousin got from her mom yesterday:

& she just posted this one of her dad at home:

We went to the mall where we blocked in by another car:

We're the Subaru.

Confession time: I'm a terrible driver. I mean, seriously. The. Worst. But I have never purposely blocked another car in a parking spot. When Red Car finally got out there to move her vehicle, she was mad at us! In what world is that our fault?

Saturday

Concert time! We went to see Josh Thompson at The Dusty Armadillo in Rootstown, Ohio. I absolutely adore Josh & try to see him live as much as possible. I also adore The Dusty Armadillo & the Rootstown area in general. It's just far enough away from home to feel like a vacation, yet close enough to feel like home. Does that make sense?

The concert was so great. Sydney Hutchko opened the show. She was awesome. She sang some originals & did some awesome covers of "Hell on Heels", "Mama's Broken Heart" & "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" where she did a spot on Jessica Simpson impersonation! It was hilarious!

Josh was great as always. He sang a bunch of new songs from his forthcoming album. It was great to hear the new stuff. He also played his hits from his album "Way Out Here". He really knows how to get the crowd going. His band also participates with the audience, which is really cool. He did a great cover of "Modern Day Bonnie & Clyde". 

I wish I had more photos, but I misplaced my camera cord so all I have are cell phone pictures! I don't have any phone pics of Sydney Hutchko, either, but check out her site. She's gorgeous!

We left immediately after the concert. I was absolutely exhausted because I was awake since 5am! I work mornings, so I'm awake that early even on my days off! We got back to the hotel at about midnight & fell right asleep. I slept really good, which is unusual for me anymore. We hit up the free hotel breakfast on Sunday morning & were back home by 10:30AM. It was awesome!

This week has been flying by. It's the same routine: Work. Quick Dinner. TV. Sleep. Repeat! I'm off work tomorrow, so that's nice! It's also Snow City out my way, so not having to drive in it absolutely rocks. Have a wonderful weekend. :)

Weekend Recap

My weekend was a fairly lazy one.

Friday, I watched the first season of "Breaking Bad". Holy cow! Where has this show been all my life? I knew I wanted to watch it for some time so I've tried to avoid any spoilers. I didn't realize it would be so deep. I'm definitely hooked!

Saturday, I went over to my parents' for pizza and a movie. We watched "The Last Stand". It was so good.

Also on Saturday, my family received some tragic news. My uncle was in a vehicle accident in his water truck at work and is currently in the ICU. He was just moved to the ICU this afternoon when the doctors found out that he has pneumonia. He has a long road of recovery ahead. Any good thoughts/prayers would be appreciated.

Weekend Shenanigans

The weekend was a pretty uneventful one for me.

Saturday, I stayed in all day.  I watched two movies on Netflix:  "Devil's Pass" and "Me Again".   They were both fairly decent movies.  Even though I'm not a religious person, for some reason I really get into those religious kind of movies.

With that being said, I also spent a ton of time playing Grand Theft Auto V over the weekend.  Let me tell you, "Grand Theft" and I go way back.  I was introduced to the series by my high school boyfriend.  He played GTA3 on his PlayStation 2.  I wanted to play the game, but I only had the original PlayStation, so I went to the game store and found a Grand Theft Auto compatible with my system:  GTA2.  Holy boxy cars, Batman!  I eventually got GTA3, but GTA2 holds a special place in my heart.  Can we talk about GTA V for a sec, though?!  It's so crazy!  And there's a dog that I can hang out with!

Chop!

Both the game and I have come a long way since the days of the box looking car!

I always work on Sundays so I don't really consider it part of my weekend.  I just worked & then went to the new Dunkin Donuts in town. I just can't say no to doughnuts!

Scenes From The Snow

 

 

 Greetings from Snow City!  We received a lot of snow in our area the last couple of days, which meant a ton of time spent in the car commuting back & forth to work.  The only good thing about that was I got to thoroughly listen to Justin Moore's "Off The Beaten Path" album.  Let me tell you--it's so good!

Here are some scenes from our snowstorm:

Snow mounds!  Also, hello dirty windshield!

And here are a couple from our last snowstorm a couple weeks ago:

 

There's nothing better than being attacked by snowy dogs!
