Good Times, GO VOLS - Not Another Weekend Post

I know I know. I have become somewhat of a weekend blogger. I"m sorry. I've got a lot going on. Fine....I'll talk about Monday too.

Saturday we did absolutely nothing. With the recently rather large purchase (about 1800 sq ft) we are in a bit of a pickle. We are broke. Well, at least until Friday. I've spent a lot of money to get this ball rolling. A thousand bucks of 'earnest money,' another two-hundred for the inspection, all my bills...it adds up. With that said, Saturday we kicked back, watched football and enjoyed the rainy yucky day inside.

Saturday night was AWESOME. We went to see Blue Highway. These guys have been one of my favorite bands for a long time, and to see them play in person was a real treat. I bought tickets shortly after they were available, and given the area I'm in bluegrass isn't exactly the most popular genre of music. We sat on the third row, just to the right of center stage (in the center section of course). Man that was great. We ended up buying their latest CD titled Marbletown. And it is great too. Go Blue Highway!

Sunday was a repeat of Saturday with one exception; no cool band. We didn't do a thing, and we struggled with being in relax mode for so long. It's funny, really. All week long we rush and we rush to get everything done so we can enjoy the weekend. But, when the weekend comes we can't turn it off. This weekend we were forced to, and I have to say, it feels nice on Monday when you really are rested. We did watch the movie from Netflix John Q. I really liked it. It made a pretty good point about how screwed up our healthcare system really is. Sunday night we just kept on watching T.V.

Ok, since this is NOT a weekend blogger....Monday was one awesome day. Work sucked, of course, because it was work. The day was awesome because the VOLS made one of the most impressive and memorable comebacks in school history Monday night. The game had been postponed to yesterday due to yet another hurricane. For the first time in thirty-five years, the Vols had to travel on the same day they played. Bad sign. First half we went down twenty one to nothing. Second half we tied it up at twenty-four. Overtime baby! LSU takes it in but can't get the TD. They had to settle for the field goal. All that's left is for Riggs to take over - he did - give him six - we win! Obviously, I was at work. However, I didn't do much work. We have a big screen TV in the break room and that's where I 'worked.' GO VOLS.

Monday was also the day I had to send the list of repairs I want made to the house before I buy. The seller has given us a one thousand dollar allowance for repairs. So I came up with my prioritized list based on the results of the inspection. No big deal, A/C, heating system, paint under the gutters, brick moulding - we've been through this before. See whatever previous post it was that had all that in it - if you're interested.

So, it was a good weekend plus Monday all in all. We saved money, we saw Blue Highway live, we watched a movie, the VOLS won, and although the Braves lost they could win the division today with a win - which will definitely warrant another post - and we are yet one step closer to getting all this house stuff completed so we can start the fun part, moving. Good times, good times.

Pizza and beer for anyone who wants to help move!
