What?!

So I was telling Jim about some wedding dresses and I read out the description to one of them, it read "Satin Off-the-Shoulder A-Line with Side-Drape." Jim said, "that sounds like a play call for football." It does?

Bob Dylan!

Jim and I had the chance to go to Bob Dylan the other night. He has been on my top five list forever so I just had to spend the money to do so. It was well worth it as he sang my favorite song second on the set list! Lay lady lay! PS-he doesn't sing that song very often on his tours. My eyes got misty and as I was standing there holding hands with Jim I thought how blessed and lucky I am. I may be broke a lot but I'm broke because I do fun things with my life. And I have someone whom I love very much. I am the luckiest (to steal from Ben Folds).

Weight Watchers

I'm on day five of weight watchers and I think I'm doing really well. But only the scale will tell on Sunday. All I see lately are points, points, points. As of now, I actually have quite a bit but it will go down as I lose weight. I need all the encouragement I can get and I'm writing this on my blog because I know the more I let the world know the more I will be accountable. For me, weight watchers is about weighing-in to the evil ladies (actually really nice, but said for dramatic effect)which makes me strive and push harder than ever because I would hate to let them down. Especially, Jeannie who talks with a Dora puppet and says "just keep swimming," which has always been my motto but maybe never spoken to me by a puppet before. But for now I'm still swimming! Hallelujah

PS-I have kind of fallen off the wagon for walking and need some help! I haven't missed my big walks on Sunday which to me are the most important ones (ie: five miles, two miles brisk, 4 miles easy), but the 20 minute strolls or the 35 minutes easy, have stopped. HELP. I HAVE TO GET BACK ON IT!

Update on my life

I've been in school literally one day (Wed. night) and I have already become overwhelmed with crying twice. And so it begins. Poor Jim has had to endure this busy week with patience. After class I went to Jim's house and the moment I walked in he looked at my hand and just shook his head. I had already started writing notes to myself on my hand, just one class in to the new quarter. This can't be a good sign. Then I talked to my friend Carren on the phone and she said "You sound frantic" at which I replied it was the first day of class today (And i was walking up a huge hill so I was out of breath).

On another note, Jim and I looked at 2 vendors this weekend as we are hoping to secure a date and venue soon. They both looked promising!

And tomorrow I start weight watchers which I'm excited about and my car gets repairs done to it because some idiot backed up and hit me and didn't leave a note while I was parked. I hate people like that. I am also starting my fourth week of training tomorrow for the half marathon and I'm doing okay, not bad at all. In fact, I have to go walk 2 miles "briskly" right now. Later.

PEARL JAM

I really don't know what to say about Pearl Jam. You hear from everyone they are "high energy" and they are, there are no other words to describe it. They just pure rock hard and continuously. Well worth Jim's money. Ben Harper opened and we are huge fans as well. We had so much fun, it was especially fun to see Jim so excited it was like it was Christmas for him. He really couldn't contain himself and that might have been my favorite part. This was my first time seeing them and I was excited but I had nothing on Jim, and this was Jim's like 10th time. I loved every minute of it. It was also their 50th time performing in Seattle and they felt a little nostalgic returning home. They played 3 or more songs off of just about every album. So everyone was singing along of course at the top of their lungs. They didn't play my favorite song, Courderoy of Vitalogy but I'll live. At one point they changed the lyrics to Supersonic and made it into Supersonics about our basketball team that moved to Oklahoma, but the venue they were performing in was the same venue the sonics used to play in and they even took our flag downs and they talked about that too in the song! It was awesome. Their logo tshirt for the night was the supersonics logo with pearl jam written just below it. I didn't buy one, I'm not a sucker like that but I really wanted one. IT JUST ROCKED. They are so amazing but I don't think Eddie's voice will take him into his 60's like bob dylan's or Bruce's has.
but it said Pearl Jam instead. SO COOL! I WANT ONE!
