HOTT!
Amy (my cousin who happens to be getting MARRIED!) turns older than me at the end of this month so we celebrated a bit early and went to the Rascal Flatts concert. It was so hot outside, but it absolutely did not matter, we had a BLAST! Rascal Flatts (and Jason Aldean, some opener who sings approximately 2.5 good songs) put on a great show, as we enjoyed our last minute seat upgrade. We danced, and sang and acted a lil silly, because we could. Not only did we get to see a fabulous concert, the people watching was outstanding at this event. I got a lil star struck when the radio personalities from my favorite radio station walked passed me. Amy saw a lot of people from work. We saw a lot of people with some serious dancing skills and remarkable fashion sense. But I think we would both agree that the most impressive find of the night was this:
Just a few seats in front of us sat Jason Aldean's #1 FAN!! We were so lucky to be seated so close to her. She made the night unforgettable. She danced and sang her butt off for a about 17 solid minutes while Jason Al-something sang some songs, one which includes the line "Done gassed up the Pontiac". She was having the time of her life, bless her heart! She had to have been exausted when he left the stage. In fact she may have even slept during Rascal Flatts. We never saw her again.

Buckets.
Kelly and I went to dinner tonight at a new restaurant in town, a seafood joint called "Gilligan's". We were seated in a booth and immediately became interested in the bright blue bucket located in the middle of the table. Even though we both knew exactly what it was for, we had much more fun pretending like we had no clue. We laughed throughout the entire meal while suggesting what the bucket could be used for, why the bucket was there, who thought of the bucket, etc. I ordered a mahi mahi sandwich and she tried the shrimp scampi. Both were delicious, but neither "required" the bucket.
Too bad!! We used it anyway. We put everything left on the table into the bucket and left a nice tip, which was better than some of the other ideas we had.

NEW CAR: 2007 Nissan X-terra {Solar Yellow}Speaking of dreams....
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT???
I love it! It is my dream car. My dreams of orange ended in 2004, the last year they made an orange X terra. T'his is my new dream car, and I am still amazed that it is mine! I cried when I heard the words "You have yourself a deal". What an incredible day! Many thanks to all of those very special people who made this dream (and many others) of mine possible. Still smiling....

My Office.So did I mention I got a new job?? Well I have been holding 2 part-time jobs for a while and I have finally made the transition to working only as needed at the nursing home and going full time with the new company. I am now working with kids (birth to 3 years) in their homes. I spend a lot of time in the car driving from house to house and the trunk of the car has become like my office. I really love this job. I still get to do a lot of feeding and swallowing therapy, but I am seeing a lot more progress than I was used to at the nursing home. I have a very flexible schedule, and I am learning a lot. The biggest difference is the clients, although even that is not THAT different, they are still wearing diapers, can't talk and are eating baby food. There are things and people that I miss very much at the nursing home but I am overall extremely satisfied with the new job. When I decided to earn a degree in Speech Language Pathology this was the job I wanted. I am actually doing my dream job!!
