10 Goofy things I can not live without

10 things I can not live without ( leaving out the obvious family, friends, etc)
Little twirks that make my world go round, or so I think. In no particular order.

1. A purse - everywhere I go I must have one on my shoulder ( Brian sometimes likes to put his things in my purse too). I feel naked without one...it's like a security blanket.

2. My planner and lists - how else will I keep up with everything. I make lots of lists during the day. I inherited this from my mom, we are both forgetful.

3. Old Navy Flip Flops - I think I might wear mine with socks this winter. I wear my black ones almost everyday. They are just perfect little rubber shoes.

4. Black boots - No one liked the sock and flip flop idea, so this is my second favorite pair of shoes. My Kenneth Cole ones are my favorite pair of boots.

5. Pony - as in pony tail holder. There are just most days when the hair has to go up, but I have these new bangs that are starting to get on my nerves that the pony is not taking care of.

6. Email - its my lifeline. I realized this today when our email went down at work. It was like the world has come to an end. We can not work without email, what is this?

7. Cell phone- I freak if I leave home without it. I don't think the car will start if it is not in my purse.

8. Chi - bless the person who invented these. My hair is wavy, but only in certain places so this little apparatus straightens out all the curves in the right places.

9. Mousse - I do not know exactly what it does to my hair, but I beleive it does something.

10. School - I finally realized I just have a need for new knowledge, or just punishment.

The Ants Go Marching with the Prince of Darkness

We ventured to Memphis this weekend to the much anticipated DMB concert.

After a little shopping for the house and a great deal on some lawn furniture at Lowes, we made our way to the hotel and then later to meet some friends for food and drinks before heading to AutoZone park. Visit Cafe 61 next time you are in Memphis - the food is way awesome!

Upon entering the park there was a lovely salesman with a bucket of ice cold beverages....oh how it was 100 degrees and they look delightful. We took our $8 beer and inside we went after a little stop at the mist station - whoever invented those was very smart indeed. We find our seats and chat about how glad we are we have purchased seats and are not standing on the field with the crazed fans.

About an hour later Willie Nelson takes the stage. Brian proceeds to say he doesn't sound very good and is off tune, I reply "sounds like Willie to me." I mean Willie is the coolest redneck I know.

After sweating profusely for about 2 hours Dave Matthews takes the stage.....it was well worth the wait! Every time I see a great musician it makes me long to learn to play a musical instrument and be oh so cool as them...
He played some old stuff and new and some great cover songs.

I do love music and especially live music, but I never understood why they schedule these outside concerts in the middle of summer...maybe a Yankee did it unknowing of the heat us Southerners withstand in August.

The next day Waylon calls and says he is in the hospital.....he has a 3 inch nail in his foot. Brian and I head to the hospital for a visit. He shot himself in the foot with a nail gun. Ouch!! Needless to say after a great deal of pain meds and some anesthesia he became the "Prince of Darkness".

After 30 minutes of Ozzy impressions, I think he became the most memorable ER patient that day.
