Dog days of summer!

I can't stand the sound of friction...like dogs chewing on bones, people filing their nails, etc. I'm not sure why, exactly, but it makes me shudder.

I tweeted about this recently (How 2012!), but I also shudder at the feeling of tearing cardboard. Other things that fall into this category include feeling dry laundry, touching dry cotton pads, etc. Am I weird, or am I weird?

This weekend has been nice and somewhat long. The 10:30 show got canceled last night, so I've been responsibility-free since after Friday's show. I haven't had a weekend like this in a while!

One of my CF camp friends (EW) got the call for new lungs on Friday afternoon. The transplant was yesterday, and it went off without a hitch. How incredible! Organ donation is such an amazing thing. I wonder if she has come-to yet. I can't imagine the stress that the body endures.

I have a short work-week because I'm heading to an out-of-town wedding. I'm excited for the time off and the opportunity to visit a new place. Congrats to my cousin and his fiancée! (I think the girl version has two e's.)

In other news, it's still as hot as all get-out.

I actually wrote everything before this before noon today and neglected to post it, so I'll go ahead and do so.

Healing thoughts for Emily!

And I gladly stand up

Hello America! Happy 4th of July!

Well, I've had a lot of fun lately! I'll give you some highlights...

• Braves game: I went to a Braves game last Thursday, June 28. Despite the Braves' loss (bringing my season record to 1-2), I had a good time. Woohoo!
• Jerry Seinfeld: I saw a Jerry Seinfeld stand-up show! It was absolutely hysterical! I don't think I truly realized how hilarious he is until I was at that show. I am still laughing about some of the jokes. I know stand-up folks say this about improv folks, but I can't even imagine how difficult it must be to do stand-up.
• Tim McGraw/Kenny Chesney: I actually feel like I've posted since I went to this concert, but I don't remember mentioning it. If I already mentioned it, deal with it. It was on a Sunday night, so that was slightly lame, but it was so much fun! After much debate, I think I prefer Tim's music to Kenny's. I know -- that was bold!

Aside from those big highlights, several other things have happened:

• I discovered a nail in my tire, so I look forward to fixing that.
• The saga of my floor continues. Yes, the floor that flooded in May of 2011. The new floor is buckling at strange places, and I hope to get it fixed within the next few weeks, although it might involve redoing the entire floor. YESSSSSSS!
• I got some new running shoes! LOVE THEM! (Thank you, Mom!)
• I had a doctor's appointment -- same ol', same ol'. Not wonderful, but not bad.

Well, I guess I better stop running my mouth so I can get ready for a POOL PARTY!
