I need some SUN!

I could not be happier about today. Well, I guess that is a bit of an exaggeration but it is a pretty good day anyway. The weather is going to be great. High 57, sunny and did I mention...FRIDAY!!!!!!!?

I know Friday is mom's Monday and that sucks for her but for me..............WHOOOO-HOOOO!!!

It is too bad that I live so far away from the restraunt because if we were close, I would have all of the department parties there. Of course it might be a litte awkward having my mom sell me beer in front of my department. I am sure I would get over it.

Jess has a track meet today. She is running the open 400, the open 800 and the Spring medley relay, which she runs the 400. It is good because that is what she will run at conference and regionals. She has a shot to go to state in all three of those events. The 400 and 800, she is either 1st or 2nd in the entire 3A class and the Sprint medley team is 1st in class 3A so it is promising. She went to state in the 400 and sprint medley last year.

Drew is enjoying baseball practice so far this year. I think he really likes the coach and the other players are his friends so he is having a good time. He is also trying the hurldes in track. He said he likes that so we will see how he does. It is hard for him to have to follow Jess in sports. He does well but when Jess is in the paper all the time and breaking school records and everyone talks about her, it is hard for him.

He will do well in sports but doesn't have the drive or some of the natural ability Jess does. He is more of the social one of the two. He has lots of friends and is always busy and rarely has drama in his life. Jess isn't as fortunate.

I really like spending time with Drew. I like spending time with Jess too but Drew is just more of a softy. Last night we were watching "My Name is Earl" and Earl was in a coma and was about to die and his brother was with him holding his hand and talking to him and I look over at Drew and he is covering his face. He was crying. Not drama, crying out loud but a few tears down his cheek. Of course he got really pissed when I noticed and said, "Drew, are you crying?" Apparently it is easy to touch Drew's heart.

He is a good boy who will never hurt a fly and will be very good to his family when he grows up.

Drew's first track meet is Thursday. He is away and Jess has a home track meet that night. I hope the weather is good, I am doing the timing again. Might as well get paid $25 to watch Jess run.

There is a new restruant in town called "The Smokehouse". It is smoked meat and kind of a BBQ place. The actual building they are in is kind of crappy but I hear the food is really good. The lady in the office told me they can't get ribs in fast enough to smoke and cook them. They had to shut down one day because they ran out of food. Today, Nancy and I are going to give it a shot. If I remember, I will tell you how it was on Monday's post.

I got my car fixed yesterday and Jess' car goes in today. They fixed my breaks and gave the car a tune up. The window was a bigger issue than they could do, they said I would have to take it to a body shop.

I hope your weekend goes well. The only plan I have is to sleep in tomorrow.
