No Time

I haven't had much time to post lately because I've been so busy actually doing things, rather than just writing about things!  I guess that's good, but I am one to appreciate a bit more down time than the average individual.  Work, the new puppy and travel have been filling my schedule and in addition to that I've been going to Meeting as frequently as possible and Women's Group plus Kirby's games.  I don't fit it all into every week, but I try and do as much as I can without getting completely burned out.  It has been good for me to be out and about, rather than plastered to the couch, TV and computer.  but I sure do miss my couch!

This weekend is Kirby's birthday and we are going to the Music City Brewer's Festival.  Last year was my first year and I did not have an accurate idea of just how drunk you get in that four hour window of time.  Since this year falls on Kirby's birthday proper we got a room downtown so neither of us has to worry about driving home.  We are also staying down there Friday night, as well, since he works the festival and has to be there at 11:00, and I'm attending both sessions this year, too.  We'll go to dinner tomorrow night, somewhere with lots of manly meat that isn't boiled.  I made reservations at The Palm.  He hasn't ever been and I haven't been for about nine or ten years.  I remember it being good, but not as good as the prices warrant, but then again I just get chicken, so I'm usually not all that impressed with "steakhouses" anyway.  I'm sure he'll like it.

A friend's wife works for a hotel chain and got us an awesome deal on a suite, so that will be really nice.  It will also be really nice to retreat to air conditioning during the two hour break between the festival sessions and possibly shower.  It is supposed to hover around that 100 degree mark all day, so the first session should me mildly unpleasant.  I can't promise I won't retreat back to the hotel early and maybe get in the pool for a bit!

Next weekend we've rented a pontoon boat at Tim's Ford Lake for our anniversary.  Its kind of fun having his birthday and our anniversary one week apart because I always plan something fun for his birthday and our anniversary so we get too cool weekends in a row every year. 

Pics and deets to come.
