BLISSFUL

Ahhhh springtime. I took full advantage of the gorgeous weather this weekend and did some yard work.

Of course, by "yard" I mean the dirt/grass behind my condo, and by "work" I mean lounging in my new chair, talking to JB and reading People magazine.

My new chair is a great investment. I went to 4 places before I found the one I wanted. Fold-up chairs are a dime a dozen - get one in any color of the rainbow, with any football logo or Nascar number on the back. The real trick is finding a fold-up chair with a cupholder and a footrest. These gems are few and far between. There were also other factors I had to take into consideration like cost and overall loungability - this isn't a chair for tailgates, I want to be able to lean back in it and get some sun.

Finally, I found the chair I wanted and fled the store for the peace and quiet of my backyard. It was awesome. Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a chair in which to sit in and be happy. Come sit with me!

I also watched Animal House 2.5 times. Too bad my chair does not come with a DVD player, because that count would have been 3.5 times at least.

Speaking of Animal House, I almost went to the Real World auditions being held downtown on Saturday. How great a blog would that have been? I would have loved to have met some of the people trying out for that show. Someone normal from Nashville needs to get on there and prove that we're not all certifiably crazy like Brooke.

Finally, I hope you all had a great April Fool's Day, and that your mother didn't try to trick you by calling you "from the Denver emergency room" because she "broke her leg skiing." After my intial gasp at hearing her "crying," I realized she was trying to fool me because if that were true, she'd have called at least 6 times in a row instead of just once. Nice try!
