Go Braves!

Sarah's boss gave her tickets to the Braves game tonight and she asked me to go with. We had a great time. I have to say, it was the most perfect weather for a game. Warm enough where you didn't need a sweatshirt and cool enough where you weren't sweating. Perfect. There were plenty of fans around us to keep us entertained. The drunk guy that kept yelling at the guy that came with him. The underage kids in front of us that would not sit down. The weird guy in the dark shades that stared and walked in front of us as we tried to pass. The foul balls that flew into the stands at such a velocity we were sure it took someone's hand off or busted an eye. To top it off, neither Sarah or I are that into baseball so we had no problem leaving at the top of the 8th to avoid traffic. Like I said...great time. :)

If it's free, it's for me.

I enter a lot of drawings, so on occasion, I win stuff. I got a call from Star94 (local radio station) last Tuesday letting me know I won a prize basket from a drawing I had entered at an event the week before. For the life of me, I could not remember what was in the basket, but I had to wait until I could go downtown on Friday to pick it up. Wow! It was some prize basket. This was what was in it:

3 Star 94 t-shirts/stickers
Pure Romance Gift Basket, including various lotions and ...um..a "toy"
Cd's...Fergie, Hannah Montana, Maroon 5, Jordin Sparks, Paramore
DVD's...101 Dalmations, Dan in Real Life and the 24 Season 5 box set
Signed photo of the Backstreet Boys (woot!)
4 tickets to the World of Coca-Cola
Frontgate Digital Cocktail Genie
$10 gift card to Starbucks
$50 BP Gas gift card
$100 Super Certificate (redeemable at over 100 merchants)
5 Cash 5 Georgia Lottery tickets (one of them won me $50)
$15 iTunes gift card
$50 Blue MedSpa gift card
Bose QC2 headphones ($300 if I bought them).

I was pretty stoked after getting my basket. I then went shopping with Sarah and Mrs. Volker up at the Mall of Georgia in Buford. We shopped until we dropped...literally...into Macaroni Grill for dinner. I wasn't going to do anything yesterday. I spent the day replacing electrical receptacles and light switches in my place. Yay! I'm glad that is done...what a pain. Got a call from Fragment when I was in Target last night. I guess our friend (use the term loosely) Charlie was in a Kickball League and they had a season ending party at a bar in midtown. I hate paying covers, but what I didn't know, is that it was free beer until 11. I'm pretty sure everyone had a better than average time.

Meh

Ever have that feeling that change is afoot? I feel a disturbance in the force. Lot's of unhappy people at the Lazy L and one of my coworkers is moving to another group, something I'm not heartbroken about. I had one of those crazy days where it seems like I was hit up for work constantly. I got to go to lunch with the guys, which was a nice break. I went along with Randy to the tag office so I could get my married name off my car title...good riddance. After work, I hit the silver comet trail. 6.5 miles on the bike I borrowed from Natalie. I only have to work up 8.5 more miles for the big Tour de Cure I'm riding in next month. Not too shabby. I did it in about 40 minutes. If I can only figure out how to keep my um....parts from going numb. Oowww!

Holy freezing water, Batman!

Weekend recap. Sarah and I had a super busy day on Friday. We started the day at Pilates class. I like pilates! I think I'll do it again. I didn't even know I was doing ab work really until I felt it the next 2 days. Then we went to IKEA...shopped and had some lunch. We went to Spa Sydell for massages and relaxation. Sarah booked our appointments together. My massage therapist wanted to verify that Sarah and I were there for a couples massage. I wish you could have seen my face. Couples massage! I politely informed him that we were just friends and separate rooms would be just fine. :) Friday night was Joe and Liz's birthday dinner at La Parilla followed by adult beverages at Wild Wings. Saturday was Jenn's birthday at Shogun for hibachi and then roller skating. Wow...roller skating...not much has changed at roller rinks. I was surprised at the number of teenage guys that are into "rhythm skating" where they skate around in groups doing routines. Rather odd. I spent Sunday on Jenn and Jason's boat. Brrr! It wasn't cold unless we were moving. Then it was freezing. The water temperature was only 60 something degrees and 4 people actually went wake boarding. I was not one of them.

Calgon! Take me away!

Yargh...I know 5 people that all have birthdays this week. People are also extra mean this week and I don't know why. I went to the dentist at 6:30 this morning. Two fillings replaced and the dirty work towards a crown. I get to go back in two weeks for the crown installation. I had four...count them four meetings today. I am so tired but Sarah threatened to beat me to within an inch of my life if I didn't go to pilates class with her tonight. So, we showed up and found that the first Thursday of the month, our gym does this stupid cardio combo class in stead of pilates so we decided to go at 8:30 tomorrow morning since it's our Friday off. Then Sarah and I are going to get lost in IKEA, and hit Spa Sydell at 3:00 for a massage. I got an appointment with my favorite massage dude, Jeremy. I love the spa. I take my time after and stay in the sauna as long as I can stand it and then take a long hot shower. I rarely go because it's so expensive, but it is so worth it. Sooooo nice..then it's off to the next birthday party. This weekend is shaping up to be pretty busy. Birthday party Friday, Birthday party Saturday and boating on a friend's brand new boat on Sunday. A sorority sister from NC called me today and wants me to go shopping with her and her friends here in Atlanta on Saturday but I don't have time.
