Vegas + Garth = Me Singing Along

garth

I love certain things that many people curl their lips to or mock my appreciation. For example, I love Garth Brooks and he’s coming to Las Vegas!! Have you stopped reading yet? I understand if you abhor Garth, but I really love him.

I found out on Friday that he’ll be playing 15 shows a year in Las Vegas starting in December. This is wonderful, thrilling, perfect news in which I have had difficulty wanting to talk about anything else. Barry seems to tolerate my level of excitement, but I have a feeling he thinks it a bit strange.

Tickets go on sale next weekend and I’m going to belly up to the computer and see if I can snag me some tickets. The fact that he’s only playing 15 shows, leaves me to wonder if I’ll be able to get any. I mean, there are a bazillion Garth Brooks fans out there, even if you aren’t one of them.

Excitement abounds at HBHQ.

Steak Night Has Arrived

The other evening we were walking Sydney around our neighborhood and I smelled the most delicious steak cooking on somebody’s grill. I typically don’t eat a lot of meat and have really never, ever enjoyed a steak, but the smell of this steak was too much for me to handle. I wanted my own steak.

So, we’ve invited Chaya, Brian, Izak and the other Brian over for Steak Night at HBHQ tonight. It just wouldn’t be a super special Steak Night with out some family to round it out, right? I can’t wait. I just want one delicious bite of a steak dipped in steak sauce. Just one.

Here’s to the next 12 hours of waiting.

An Email Exchange

This wasn’t really an email “exchange” I suppose. It’s probably more like an email update, but I’ve already entered the blog title and feel committed at this point. Anyway, here’s a message I received from Hannah several weeks ago as she is starting to realize that she is not, in fact, immune to morning sickness.

Hey.

Captain awesome here.

Feeling super awesome.

Not.

On my second bottle of 7 Up.

Should have seriously bought the 6 pack.

Only bought two.

Teriyaki chicken might rock my world tonight.

Just sayin’.

You know?

Captain Awesome.

Awesomely out.

I enjoy her entertaining funniness even though she had been feeling progressively worse as the earliest days of her pregnancy went by.  Regardless, I feel like I can describe her message then and now as ….  awesome.  Especially since the nausea seems to have passed, and is being replaced by tiredness.
