Another Door Opens

This was a weekend filled with fun and surprises with a few new people and a bunch of old friends.

Friday night was a hoot, beginning at the Tennessee State Fair with Carey, Emily, Jessica, Jeremy, Caleb, Heather and Selina. I got a little dizzy (getting old) from a couple of carnival rides. I will post some pictures on my Nashville page in a few days. Was a little hungry afterwards, so we did a run to Kroger's for some fairly healthy junk food, then met a few people at P.M. Cafe. We ended the night by the pool at Carey's place.

The next day was one big shopping extravaganza for Heather and myself. I bought 3 leather jackets, 3 long sleeve shirts and 3 pairs of pants. I was on a quest to find shoes for work, but I didn't get any. Oh well, I will have to get those some other time. I was exhausted after walking through American Signature, Rivergate Mall and Opry Mills. Later, Heather and I met Barry out for dinner at the Mexican place down the road from my house. I was quite full after the Mexican food and the DQ banana split I ate 30 minutes earlier.

Despite being ready for bed after all the shopping and food, I kept my plans with Selina to go clubbing that night. Carey, Jeremy, Jen and Leah joined us. We were a mess on the dance floor, rowdier than everyone else as usual. I was drenched from dancing so much. I also saw a few friends out, including Kashan. We danced 'till the club closed down. I didn't have a drop to drink, but I had lots of help (to keep me energized) from a pack of Starburst and a double dose of vitamin B-12 and Royal Jelly. The night didn't exactly end the way I envisioned, but lets just say I am not going to complain. ; )

Needless to say, I didn't go with Michael and friends to Mammoth Cave the next morning. I would have only gotten 2 hours sleep and would have been half dead if I did that. Actually on Sunday, I didn't do much. I stayed in bed for half the day and it was heaven. My body was drained and I needed the rest. That evening I watched a movie with Jeff. We saw "Hide and Seek." It was ok. I would give it a 6.5 out of 10.

I use to have more slow weekends/weeks, but those seem to be few and far between these days. Life is too short and it is filled with lots of surprises and amazing people. I say live it up!!

Oh Heather, BTW, if you are reading this... you can add another point to the score board.
