Now that summer is almost over (it's true! I networked at school open houses last night so I can sub!) I'm admitting to jamming to Sheryl Crow's "Love is Free" from her Detours album all summer.
BTW the album is pretty good. Very social conscious which I expect from Sheryl. I love "Lullaby for Wyatt" and "Out of Our Heads." I also saw some of her clothing line on the Today show awhile back and the jeans are AWESOME!
I know a good time when I see one / And when I'm in the mood I can even be one / I can lead the parade or I can stop it / Sometimes I dance in the boat just to rock it
*from The Kinleys' Just Between You and Me album.

After the Boxes its Party Time
Busy busy weekend coming up!
Firstly (I love saying that. Even if it's not, well, prolly not, good English and S&SG will make fun of me endlessly for using it) I gots to work. Go me!
Then, Hal the Hail Magnet will be making his way to me for the first time ever. It's like a giant blind date. But I hear he gets good gas mileage, so I suppose I can look over the fact that he was DAMAGED before I've even finished PURCHASING it.
That's followed up with a family reunion. Not just Daddy, lil sis, and me, but the whole paternal side enchilada. Most of whom I haven't seen in a loooong time. Other's it's been a month. So party all around.

We're Number One!
Woot! Well, "You Look Good In My Shirt" just hit #1 on the Country R&R chart. Congrats Keith.

Keith Urban suffers from slipped Disc, but No Shows are Canceled
Hopefully, Keith will take it easy. I can't wait for Fashion Rocks and the NFL kickoff. I'm really hoping I'll be home to watch some football instead of at work. I missed so much of my football last year.

Top 5 Reasons Why Not Having a 9-5 Stinks:
1. People are amazed when you are awake before 10 am.
2. You can't pick up an easy thiry bucks refing a volleyball match because you were scheduled for a wonky 4-8pm work shift.
3. You need to make yourself a To Do list with a time table to make sure everything that needs to get done can happen BEFORE you need to leave for work.
4. Everybody is at work when you call then so you are left leaving insanely long voicemails that become jokes with their co-workers.
5. And finally, while it's okay to eat breakfast at 11am, eating dinner at 3:30 pm is just stupid.

Not Ironic, But Damn Unlucky
I would say that it is quite ironic (dontcha think) that the weekend after I put a down payment on a new-ish car (sight unseen by me but Dad approved. I hear it's purple) and brought it home, it was hailed on. I believe, "attacked by a maniac with a ball peen hammer" was the exact descriptive phrase used. But as everyone has made perfectly clear to Alanis, it is in fact not ironic, but quite a sucky coincidence. Here's hoping the insurance money will help me pay off the rest of my tab.
Woo-Hoo! It's Keith Concert Time.
Well, not exactly. But for your viewing pleasure (or more accurately, MINE) I give you the video for "You Look Good In My Shirt." While the track can be found on his sophmore album Golden Road, YLGIMS has been re-recored and released as a single to support his new concert DVD.
