Fright Night

GV, Solon and I went to see this movie tonight. Fright Night in one word was Frightening. This movie was so comical yet so scary at the same time. I am not sure that's how others would discribe it being as how I was the only one in a sold out theater to scream. Typical me. I guess at least it added to the comedy for GV and Solie. I don't want to give away the movie but it was sooo good. If you want a good date movie this would be it. LOVED IT!

One the way home I remembered that I had left my billfold at my friends Arik's house the night before. He had a costume party and it was a blast. With the help of Shawn he found it and Jenny put it in her purse until we would meet up. Hindsight's 20/20 and I will letcha know why...

- I called Jenny to find out where to meet her. Since she hadn't called me after she went to Cliff's as she said she would. She gave me her address and GV and I went for a ride into Rio Rancho. Low and behold she lives in the neighborhood that Fright Night was filmed in. I am freaking at this point. (Not really). We wait at the door for her to greet us and the window is covered with black film, just like vampires in Fright Night had on their windows. I am freaking out a little more. (Just a little this time). Jenny opens the door and she has face paint all over like an Avatar. Thank goodness it wasn't like the face paint she had on for Arik's birthday party the night before. She was a zombie then today just an avatar. PHEW! As she opened the door she instantly realized that she had left my billfold in the glove-box of Shawn's car. Really, really Jenny. Okay, I guess it was out of Cabazon and off to Ventana Ranch for me and GV.

Today I got my windows tinted and they are sooo dark. It was hard to see as it started raining and by this time it was close to midnight. My mind was everywhere and as we were trying to get to Shawn's I took so many wrong turns and even ended up at some random guys house. Good thing they had a different truck than Shawn otherwise I would have been knockin' on the door at such a late hour.

Now knowing that Jenny had face paint on I was sure to tell Shawn his face better be clean when we got there.  See why I was so nervous about it. Shawn and Arik look so scary! Thank goodness he met my request and opened the door with his pleasant face, so fresh and so clean. We chatted about our days events and then off we were homeward bound. Away from the Nowhereville as GV so thoughtfully named that area of the Westside.

So, again hindsight's 20/20.. Why didn't I just have Jenny leave it on the porch at Arik's so I could get it whenever??  Why didn't I grab it on my way out after the party that night. My mind is everywhere lately and I need to get it together.  But as I said before I just got my windows tinted and I am so happy with how it turned out. This looks straight out of a magazine! The yard doesn't look too bad either!

Singing in the Summertime

Last Thursday I went to the Tim McGraw concert. Jennifer and Lindsay came to town to go with me and before hand we ate at Red Lobster. I think that is Lindsay's favorite place because she always wants to go there when she comes to Albuquerque. We didn't expect so much traffic and we missed the first show but made it in time for Luke Bryan. He was good and then we waited for the big show. TIM MCGRAW.


Geneva, Andrew and Christan thought that the traffic wouldn't be so bad either and barely made it in time for Tim. Concerts are really interesting. As we walked up to the pavilion we saw so many people chugging beer before they went in and then during the show some people couldn't even walk they were so drunk. This is were I discovered my new passion. I love to push drunks down. They were stumbling all over and they all seemed to find us. They would walk by and pause in front of us thinking they were gonna up chuck. OH NO! Keep walking I would say and push them to help them along the way. They really didn't think through their seating arrangements. Drunk on a hill is a bad idea. Some of them learned the hard way.

Tim McGraw was so fantastic in concert. He played all of his classic songs that everyone loves. I mean that's what we all wanna hear and he gave it to us. He is great in concert, I am so glad I had great people to see him with.

We had such a great time and on the way home we were pressuring Christan to flow an original rap about the evening events. I love it when she raps she is sooo awesome. Definitely a high light to the night and she didn't disappoint!

Easy Come, Easy Go...

For the last two weekends I have been working a side job. Before school starts a lot of portable buildings have to be moved from one school to the next and the only way to do that is hauling it on a truck and having escorts directing you so that you don't hit anything on the way. Well, I am an escort! It pays pretty well as you would expect an escort would be. So for a few hours on the weekend, I make a little cash!

 This is me in my "office".

 Sometimes tight corners are a problem! A little help with the forklift helped get the building through.

This last Sunday we moved three buildings. (Sorry no pictures!) The first two of course went without a hitch and then there was one left. As we were getting set up for inspection from the D.O.T. two of the tires blew out on the trailer and the driver didn't have the right tool to get the wheels off. We waited for the tire man to come but a 3 hour job turned into a 7 hour job. Luckily I had a friend with me to kill time with. Solon and I went to grab drinks and lunch for us and my brother, Nathan and while I played a game on my phone, Solon took a nap. Not a bad paycheck at the end of the day however it was extremely boring!
