Good Weekend

Time for an update. I had a great weekend that started off on Thursday with a mini interview which will lead to my becoming a licensed Mortgage Broker, I just need to find where I can complete the schooling and take the licensing test, and hopefully find some folks either looking to refinance their house, or in need of a mortgage. After the interview, I noticed my front drivers side tire was flat so I carefully as possible drove home, and I spent a little time prepping the house for Pizza Night the next evening. I'll discuss the tire later.

After that I went to see Luxembourg (an awesome band) play at Lillian's. I was impressed, I had heard the lead singer play at SEC (I guess thats SEU now)alone at a few of the Oracle events and I just had to check them out! I really enjoyed their set, they have a sort Coldplay-like sound with a little edge, and each song is unique, not one sounds the same. If your looking to hear something new, go to www.myspace.com/luxembourgmusic, you can hear "Home" one of my favorites. Also playing at Lillian's that evening was Sunday Driver and The West Fifties. Sunday Driver pushed the sound too loud to the point of not being able understand the lyrics and causing pain. I am sure had they controlled the sound a bit more, It's possible that I could be a fan, however this is not the case. Finally, the West Fifties played, they had a better control over their sound, however by that point I was out way past my bedtime and everything kind of sounded the same. I did like the bass players mini mohawk though!

Friday, it took me while to get going, after staying out much later than I am use to, I made it to work, had a good day and accomplished a good bit. Took a trip to the plate office and picked up a trailer tag and headed to the terminal and filled up my tire with air on the way back to the main office. However, I was very antsy as I looked forward to the Pizza Night I was hosting later that day. Finally 5 PM came around, and I left for home, started the dough, took care of any last minute house details, and before you know it, 7 PM had rolled around. Tina and Woody arrived first, Tina helped to prep the peppers for the pizza while I took care of the onions. A few minutes later, Amy and Robbie arrived and the fun began. I made the first pizza pie, and everybody else followed each prepping a crust! Several pizza's later, we were stuff, and had a wonderful evening discussing married life (I didn't have much to say but I took notes for the future), music, and folks from work! After cleaning up a bit and saying good night to Amy and Robbie, I headed to Tina and Woody's to watch Monk!

Saturday I didn't really have planned out prior to startinng the weekend, the idea was refreshing, as the last few weekends have been planned out and extremely busy. I cleaned out the car that morning, as I was taking Tina and Woody to the airport that afternoon. It was a nice drive to Tampa and back. In the back of my mind however, I was a little nervous about the tire. When I got back to Lakeland, I talked to my Dad on the phone a bit, and decided I better get the tire fixed. So I went to a place close to home and ask to have them patch the tire, an hour later I was told that it was irrepairable because the leak was in the sidewall and offered to put a new tire on for $94 bucks. I decided to call my Dad, first of all because that didn't really sound like such a deal, he told me to check out Sam's as I really did need new tires on the car anyway, I had driven on them a year longer than I should have, so I headed to Sam's club, found a set that more than exceeded my father's specifications for his little girl, only the best for me (I know I am spoiled)! They were able to put them on, so I explored Sam's Club for the next hour or so. After that was done I had to prepare for Jr.Church the next day and practiced some songs for worship.

Sunday things went well, we had the new 1st graders in Upstreet so it was sort of exciting! I spent the afternoon organizing my music book and making the left over dough into pizza for lunch. I went to the Illuminate service that evening since I didn't attend service that morning. Today was good, I got a lot done, I came home looking forward to hosting small group at my house, however things kind of fell through since not many people were able to attend, so I decided to postpone it till next Monday. Instead, I decided to practice Deeper by Delirious? like I was suppose to earlier for tomorrow night, to play it for Youth on Wednesday. I think I have it down, I played along with the CD on my bass over 10 times, and then my hand started to cramp as I am playing it on the part of the neck closer to the body. I have it memorized now. I think it sounds good, we'll see if Karl agrees with me at practice tomorrow night!
