Friday is my favorite day

I really love Fridays. I like them more when my weekend isn't jam packed with things to do, but that's rare apparently. Last weekend Nick and I had a great time at the Brad Paisley concert. I had some good pics and video, and then accidentally deleted them. I'm so awesome. Julianne Hough from Dancing with the Stars opened for him, as did Church Wicks and Jewel. Jewel was actually awesome, but I used to love her. And she sang some of her old songs that I knew, like Foolish Games (my favorite!), You Were Meant for Me, Who Will Save Your Soul...you get the point. Brad is always good in concert. So it was fun. Sunday we headed to Ohio County for the Pops Concert at Nick's parent's church. They have it every year (his dad is in choir), and they have homemade ice cream and other good desserts. So the weekend was fun, but busy. Tomorrow Nick and I are going with my dad to St. Louis to see the Braves play. The Braves obviously suck this year, and pretty much all of them are either on the DL or on the verge of retiring (or both actually). But I haven't been to the new Busch Stadium yet, and I still love them even if they're 10 games out of first place.

I'm sad the Olympics are almost over. We've really enjoyed watching them. Swimming was our favorite I think, but we also watched the gymnastics and beach volleyball. I would have liked to have watched basketball and soccer, but it's always on at weird times. But the US women's soccer team won gold! And both basketball teams should.

Poor Nick is sick now. He was so convinced he had managed not to get it from me, but he did. And he hates taking off work, even though he has days he could use. And also I think it's easier to work through when it's Friday. But my doctor prescribed me a refill on my antibiotic, so I called that in for him.

I think we have our vacation for next year planned. I'm super excited, but it's a really long time away so that's depressing. We're not going until October of 2009. We're planning to go to the Bahamas (I've always wanted to stay at the Atlantis...at least since I saw that Mary-Kate and Ashley movie "Holiday in the Sun"). The Bahamas, unlike Hawaii, actually gets some hurricanes, so we're trying to go as close to the of hurricane season as we can. But while the rates are still cheap. I got my borchure in the mail this week, and I'm really excited about swimming with the dolphins again. I love vacations. And we will have to go somewhere else earlier in the summer to hold me over until October.

Maybe I'll get around to posting a little more often. I doubt it.
