KG's Hideaway

We're back from Memphis. We had a FABulous time! I guess Ryan recovered from her DISASTROUS (okay, disastrous might be a bit strong a word but still) tournaments the two weeks before in Birmingham and in Atlanta. I guess the coach telling her that the calls were pouring in from the colleges in SPITE of how badly she played must have given her some confidence because she KILLED. She hadn't played with any confidence all summer, and I'm not just pickin' on her here, I mean that. She's really just played with half a heart or something... I don't know, but she went to Memphis on a mission.

We went to the Lorraine hotel where MLK was killed. It was pretty sad, but we ate our sadness away at Corky's BBQ. Tore it up on ribs. I ain't even kiddin' ya... I ate my weight in ribs. Good God, I'm surprised some over eager hunter didn't get me caught in his scope as we were headin out of town. I tried to eat healthy while I was there but it's just damn near impossible. Feel me?

So we get home and not only am I up to my ears in laundry, but there is a shit load of dirty dishes that Austin left in the sink that pissed me off from the get-go. Then, all of our bedroom stuff is still packed up and stacked in the dining room and in the front living room because they finished putting in the wood floor on Thursday night but we left Friday morning for Memphis so all that was back in our bedroom was the furniture. Then, yesterday I went and bought all new comforter and bedding crap because we're changing everything in here which isn't making Craig too happy because the comforter on our bed is basically brand new and it cost me almost $300. It's a denim Ralph Lauren that I didn't often use because of the dogs AND because it was just SO heavy. So this new stuff isn't nearly as expensive but when you add all the stuff up for the bed it cost the the same as the comforter... just don't tell Craig. Yet.

Cleaning out the TiVo took For Freaking Ever today, too. I skipped the first two games of Ryan's tournament today because I'm just too tired and as I was clearning all this out I found the next to the last American Idol where Katharine McPhee sang Over the Rainbow the 1st time. God, that is SOOOOO good, that's why I saved it. But it reminded me about how weird it is that people think that's some happy song. WTF people? Listen to it. It's NOT a happy song. I love it, but it's not happy. It's terribly sad. Sad, sad sad. And I love love love it!!! Just call me Goth I guess. Blah.
