Queen of Tired

I’ve been slacking off on the blog for awhile. I think any type of writer goes through a phase where they just don’t have anything profound to say. There has been a lot going on lately. The Kathy Griffin show was postponed until October due to severe strep throat. Last weekend we had KIP at the mall. I brought my Doctor Who scarf but I had issues with the yarn knotting so I didn’t make loads of progress on it.
Last night was the Kings of Leon concert, which was awesome. There was a lot of good people watching and secondhand highs going on. KOL was awesome live, they totally rocked the Booth and I think they sound just as good as their records. I came home and then I stayed up late talking to my sister and Sunshine on the phone. I can’t believe that I am only a week away from seeing them! I haven’t seen my sister since March and I haven’t seen Sunshine since Christmas. I haven’t been back home to Oklahoma since I moved out here so I’m curious to see what has changed in the last year. I seriously can’t believe that April is over. I’m not even sure what happened to this day. It seemed like the day flew by. I made a morning run to Barnes & Noble. Then I met the girls for brunch at Courtney’s and then I hung out with some of them at Barnes & Noble. I finally made it back to my apartment around 4:30pm and I’ve just been a vegetable since then. It was very strange taking a vacation day in the middle of the day. I felt like I was playing hooky from school or something like that. I’m really glad I did though because I woke up this morning and I had the sore throat from rocking out at the concert and I was tired and congested and I needed a little break from all the office drama.
I think I’m going to go to the fancy mall this weekend. I need something to occupy me since I have my trip coming up and so I don’t want to sit at home and fidget. Plus, they just opened an Anthropologie store there. YAY!!!!

And the Countdown begins. . .

I get to see Kathy Griffin on Thursday! How awesome will that be? Like Seriously! I'm still kind of tired from yesterday, so I will just list what I did yesterday.

1. Weekly trip to Whole Foods
2. went to Journeys and bought new Converses (black lo-tops)
3. went to yarn store of evil with G
4. had dinner at the Ale House with T and H
5. Went to the movie Adventureland with T & H and ended up with a major sugar high

Did I mention it was in the low 80s yesterday! EEEEWWWW! I like sun, I like warmth but 80 in April just reminds me of last summer's 3 months of 100 degree-ish weather. Gross.

Ugh.

So it's Easter weekend. Friday morning I got up early and drove down to Charlotte. The drive down wasn't too bad this time but I really driving on the interstates with all the crazies and the potholes. I did make a quick pit stop at IKEA. This time I got the infamous big blue bag and it is so huge that I can stick all of my clean laundry in it. Who knows if I will actually be able to carry it out to the car.
Mom and I ran out of the yarn while assembling the Slouchy Purse, but through some freak twist of fate, G happens to have the same color I need. Mom gave me more homespun to make prayer shawls with. I started one up using the Coral Gables colorway (reddish color) and tied on skein 2 this afternoon. Mom is on a Hallmark Channel watching kick so I have watched all the Sarah, Plain & Tall movies and most of the Love Comes Softly series. They are good movies, but I think I have surpassed my sappy movie quota for this month. My dad has planted 6 pine trees in the backyard to create a little more privacy.
I promise to have more exciting posts soon. I have had a very long week full of sleep deprivation. I am looking forward to seeing Kathy Griffin perform at the DPAC and the Kings of Leon concert and there's KIP and roller derby bouts in May.
Waves hello to Sunshine!
