What I've been up to

Had a most excellent time in Louisville... here's some of the things I got to do:
- Go to Louisville Sluggers Museum and take the factory tour
- See Thomas Alva Edison's Louisville home
- Go to Schimpffs Confectionery in Jeffersonville KY and got to tour the candy shop
- Go to Dillards (my aunt in Oklahoma always talks about shopping at Dillards- we don't have one in California, but my mom wanted to tell my aunt she had done that)
- Go to Bob Evans to eat- the food was alright and pretty reasonable for the price (I tried tilapia)
- Went to Bardstown KY (a really old, historic city and saw buildings from the 1700s)
- Toured the Maker's Mark Distillery
- DIpped my own bottle of Bourbon
- Drove on the Bourbon Highway
- Went to the Jim Beam Distillery --- notice a trend? haha
- Talked to the wives and men of my dad's Army unit

Subbed several days- I worked everyday last week and am working 2-3 days this week- that's a nice $1,000 or so for me. Had the worst kids in the school- and they're only 7th graders. They were 6th graders last year and rotten then. What are they going to be like next year?

Went to the Irvine Spectrum with a friend

Went to the LA County Fair with my mom and her friend Linda from work. Linda is a nut, but I love her. We grazed our way through there eating just about everything unhealthy.

Went out on a 15 foot boat with my friend Mike yesterday. We went around Balboa, Newport, and Huntington Beach. It was a lot of fun. Got a little burnt. Did some playing in the water.

Bourbon Trail Kentucky

In Louisville KY/Clarksville Indiana for my dad's Army Reunion. Got to go to Evansville where my dad grew up and see the town, see his cousin and wife, the Louisville Sluggers Factory Tour, all the Victorian houses in the area. Today we hit up Bardstown and saw the many old buildings. To get there we traveled along the Bourbon Trail, and since we were doing that, of course we had to buy souvenirs.

We'll see if this is drank before I get home or not...

I got to hand dip the bottle myself. And my mom, the nondrinker didn't turn me down from buying it. AND I even did the bourbon tasting at the distillery.

SUGARLAND

ALL I WANNA DO IS LOVE THEM!!!

Love their new CD. Wasn't a fan until I saw them at the LA County Fair the other night. Now? OMG... love the CD.

Jennifer Nettles is just the sexiest little thing- sexy voice, hair, eyes, body, personality; she pretty much has the package.

They started the concert with a new song I hadn't heard, then Settlin', then Baby Girl a few songs later. I think it was the 4th song. By that time everyone was up, standing around, singing. LOVED IT. Stood most of the rest of the show. The new song Joey was awesome. Jennifer busted out her guitar and sang that one. Didn't realize all their popular songs- Settlin', Baby Girl, Something More, Everyday America, All I Wanna Do, Stay, and a bunch of others.

They sound exactly the same in concert as on their CD meaning they are the real thing.

The CD is pretty bluegrassy and has Jennifer's sexy voice... and Kristian's too... LOVE IT...
