Fair WEATHER Fan

Ok, so i'm not actually a fairweathered Braves fan, i've rooted for the home team as long as I've lived in the ATL (which would be my entire life)...but today this title seems apropriate.

Apparently I have been hexed with the "Free Ticket Curse." Every time that I have been given free tickets to a Braves game from work, out of nowhere a mighty monsoon decides to grace Atlanta with its presence. Two months ago I received some tickets the afternoon of the game, and about 10 minutes before we got out of the car a torrential downpour covered the stadium (and us..who had no umbrellas, by the way). We waited out part of the storm like drowned rats with about 60 other fellow soggy fans in the neighboring KFC, only to dash over to the stadium in a lighter downpour and find out an hour later that the game was called. Bummer.

Today was no exception.

I enjoyed a beautiful ride with the top down to a relaxing outdoor lunch with some friends at around noon. At 3pm I was offered 4 fantastic seats to tonight's game, along with a convenient parking pass.

And right on schedule, at 3:30pm the rains, they came a pourin'.

Oh well, maybe they will hold out this time - or maybe i'll just get another shower... :)

Daylight Savings?.....Nah!

It's mornings like today that I wish I hadn't gone back to being a brunette, then I could just choc my stupidity up to having a 'blonde moment' and get on with my day...

I go through the exact same routine every morning...set my alarms (all 3 of them) - hit snooze about 10 times each, wake up late and scramble to get out the door by 8:15 to make it to work by 8:30 (I am so not a morning person). Now considering I went to bed extremely late last night, I might have been a little out of sorts when I woke up this morning. Maybe that's why I did what I did. I glanced at the clock....quarter till....shoot! I only have 30 minutes to get ready and out the door. I rush around getting ready, trying to find the clothes on the hangar that needed the least amount of ironing (and think to myself, 'I have got to start ironing clothes when I hang them up') and im out the door.

As I pulled out of the neighborhood and turned on my headlights, I thought to myself that we must be getting closer to the fall time change, because I never have to turn my headlights on. Either that, or its just super cloudy...and I kept driving on in sleepy oblivion.

It wasn't until I pulled into the parking deck at work that I think I actually woke up. I pulled up the ramp to the 2nd floor, and was surprised that there were available parking spaces...I always have to park on the 4th or 5th floor by the time I get there.

And that's when it hit me....it was 25 after SEVEN, not EIGHT!!!

How in the world I managed to get up and get to work an hour early, and not realize it until I got there is beyond me...either I was really, really tired or maybe, just maybe that blonde is seeping back through....haha. ;)

Happy Weekend!

I Wish For You

I Wish For You
By: Jessica Andrews

Time goes by so fast, and days they seem to dance
Into the distance till they're gone
If I had a map, to lead you down life's path
I'd give it to you, But I don't
So go on

Cry hard, laugh loud
Be humble, stand proud
And don't be afraid of your fears
Let love break your heart
Just be who you are
All of this
All that there is
I wish for you

You can never know which way your world will turn
How the stars are gonna fall
Salty tears they burn
There are lessons you will learn
But you'll be stronger for it all
Oh, yes you will

Cry hard, laugh loud
Be humble, stand proud
Hold onto your faith with all your heart
Be careful, Be brave
Be still, but don't stay
In any one place for too long
Remember God's grace
Give more than you take
All of this
All that there is
I wish for you
