Week 7: I am a bad bad blogger

I missed a full week. But it my defense it was a very eventful couple of weeks. Upon my last entry I had my sister visiting me and we spent the time in between me having to work laying out by the pool, eating, or drinking. And then I went out of town for a long weekend. I am full of excuses.

Here is a day by day recap of what you missed.

July 29 - Practice. Skip out on work before the lifeguard drill. Start the drive to NJ. Drive through DC instead of driving around. Make it to NJ without Hilary and I killing each other.

Crash on the couch and watch "Once".

Sidebar: If you have not seen Once and believe in the transformative power of music, OMG you have to go right out and see it. It is quiet, but incredibly powerful. It tells such an incredible story with very little dialogue. It is essentially the story of how the power of music can bring souls together. I am so serious about this. It made me want to cry the music was just so incredible. GO SEE IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!
