wet butts, full ears

Yesterday at work was a blur. I remember going in, then leaving for the doctor, then coming back, then leaving for the day. I don't even feel like I was at work, except for that very first customer of the day.

The one who said, "Before I do anything, I'm going to stick this phone up someone's ass". Oh, and the one who said "I am NEVER coming back to this store again!!!!" The bitch in me wants to say to rude #1, "Here, let me bend over, you can start with mine" and to rude #2, "Good, that is exactly what we want, we do not WANT you to EVER come back here" Other than that, the day was quick.

I went to have the vein doppler done, no blood clot. One prayer answered. Still no real explanation as to why it is swelling so. Doctor has not called me back with xray results. Who knows how much damage I actually did to the three little piggy's.

After work, I picked up Hannah, Monica & clan had met me at my house and we all packed up and headed down to the Hocus Pocus Symphony concert. I love going to concerts out there, sitting on the grass with friends, I have many wonderful memories from the Pavillion. Sting, Elton (twice), Eddie Money, Riverdance, Jazz Festival, etc. It is a great venue, and nights like last, with a cool breeze are awesome.

The little kids all in various costumes were too cute for words.

As we found our spot on the grass, we laid our blankets down, then our butts, only to realize the grass was wet, very wet. We sat for awhile before we figured out the chairs were free. We all got chairs, and settled in for the music.

Imperial March (Darth Vader's theme) was first. I love this piece of music, I want it as my ringer for people at work. Bom, bom, bom ba ba bom, ba ba bom. Then they introduced us to some Harry Potter music (Hedwig's Theme) played with a very tiny piano like instrument. I forget the name, but it used in the Nutcracker Suite as well.

Then we had bride of frankenstien, Phantom of the Opera and Ghostbusters. It was awesome. We all had a very good time. Hannah & I discussed how cool it is that when you watch a movie, you don't realize there is a symphony playing. I told her how when they are recording a soundtrack, they have the movie playing in the room with them, to see and keep time. She replied, "That is so awesome!!" I love it when she learns something new and really thinks it's cool.

We made our way back to the car, packed it up and headed home. I went in, gave banana a hug, and said bye to Larry. It is so weird. Giving him a hug, saying goodnight, then instead of getting into bed, I get into the car. I will be home, I know that, but it is still too soon. We need to see how graduation #2 goes, and what aftermath ensues. Ashley is as always, a big focal point and our lives continue to revolve around hers.

Tonight we are getting a group together to go through Hannah's haunted houses. Tomorrow night, World Series starts.

Go Astros!
