The personal blog of a girl named Alexa
I don’t know why, but I am having the worst time focusing today. My mind keeps wandering and I have to jerk myself back to whatever task I am doing at the time. It is really getting annoying. Wondering if I got enough sleep last night, because this rarely ever happens to me. I hope it’s just today, because I am not getting anything done at all.
Your going to love this. I just ordered a new behringer epq 2000. We have an awesome stereo and speakers, but the stereo alone just doesn’t push the speakers the way it should. I think the old amp is going out, so we decided to just replace it with a new one. I am so happy that we are finally able to do this. We have BBQ’s and such and like to play the music so it can be heard from inside the house. Fortunately we don’t have really close neighbors to complain about it.
I just wanted to wish everyone a late Happy 4th of July. I have been so busy this weekend that I didn’t have time to get on here until now. We had a blast and BBQ’d everyday, either here or at a friends or relatives. We didn’t stay home at all. The fireworks were awesome as usual and we of course, had some of our own to light off as well. I hope that everyone had as great a weekend as we did.
This weekend is going to be a blast. There is the county fair as well as the CMA Fest in Nashville. We are going to try to go to both. Friday night we will go to the fair as it closes at around ten o’clock. We can get there around six and spend plenty of time riding the rides and such. We may go back on Sunday to see the animal shows, but I doubt it.
Saturday one of our favorite singers is playing on the Riverfront stage. The concert is free and won’t cost us really anything. We can take sandwiches and drinks, so long as the bag is small. So we will take several small bags, one per person. Each will have what we need for ourselves, instead of one big one like we normally do. The prices for the vendors are way to expensive for us to eat and drink there. This way we can buy a few souvenirs to bring home. I know that the kids will want something, so I am planning accordingly.
By the time we are done with all of that, I am going to assume we will be sunburned and ready to rest on Sunday. I know that I will be. It is going to be so much fun. Hope to see you there !
The kids are driving me crazy to go see the new Iron Man 3 movie. I can’t say that I blame them, because I would like to see it too. I am just not sure I want to brave the crowds tonight. I really prefer matinee’s, when the crowds are much less and the seating is better. Fighting for seats that are together is not my idea of a good time and my kids sit with me no matter what. I will have to see about going tomorrow. If I buy the tickets online tonight, then the kids will probably leave me alone about it. lol
This song really makes you remember the “good ole days” of your youth growing up in a small town. I have so many memories that flash by whenever I hear this song and even more when I watch the video. I thought I would share with all, so that you can take a trip down memory lane as well. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do.
I don’t mean Santas elves either. I mean the LOTR kind of elves. The cities portrayed in those kinds of book and paintings are beautiful. This is one of my favorites. I look online for them from time to time, just for the serenity they bring. I hope you guys like this one.
I don’t know what is wrong with my today. I just can’t seem to get out of this funk. Life has been a bit difficult lately, but I am usually not one to become morose over it. I think it is time to snap myself out of this and need a distraction to do it. I think I will take the kids to a movie this afternoon. Actually it will be early evening, but we can go for pizza and a movie. That will make them very happy. I hope they don’t have a lot of homework to do. We shall see.
I am going on a road trip to Memphis with my mom to see Graceland. I have always loved Elvis since I was a little kid growing up. I listened to his music, (mostly Christmas Carols) with my mom because he was her favorite when she was growing up. She told me all the stories about him and we watched all of his movies. It is something that we could enjoy together as mother/daughters should.
I have my own rituals with my daughter that we do. We watch the Grease, Dirty Dancing and other movies of the like, that I grew up with. One day we will have a road trip to see something neat like this. My daughter is going with us on this trip as well, but the boys will stay with dad for the weekend. They get to have some grandpa time and go fishing. All in all, it should be great for the whole family.
The concert isn’t until March, but I bought my tickets today for the Charlile Daniels concert at the Gran Ole Opry. I am so excited. I know that he is and older performer from my childhood, but I have always wanted to see him in concert. I am finally goung to make that dream come true.
