Highlights

Remember that magazine? Highlights? In every doctor’s office in America. Oh the joy of the doctor’s office. Making learning fun since 1946.

#1: Michael Buble

Got free tickets from work to see Michael Buble live and in concert at the Save Mart Center on Tuesday. Crystal Dower and I got all gussied up for the event. The opening act we thought was lame until we realized they didn’t have a band and were making all of the “instrumental music” without instruments. AMAZING! Check out Naturally 7 on youtube if thats what blows your skirt up. Michael was crass, but enjoyable none the less. And from where we sat in the not-quite-the-nose-bleed-section only appeared to be about an inch tall… very strange for such an arrogant little man. I’m glad I didn’t pay $160 for tickets, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself, the company and the music.

#2: Getting pulled over

On our way home from the concert, Crystal and I got pulled over. Apparently Crystal has a headlight out. After explaining to the cop that we were on our way home from the concert and that Michael was “a bit more crass than we expected” Crystal handed her license to him only to find that it was expired. At which point he ran my license and I had to drive Crystal home. Relatively uneventful it may seem, except that we were pulled over in front of Fashion Fair Mall where Crystal works and the security guard came to point fingers and laugh all the while humiliating Crystal. HILARIOUS! If you would like a copy of the surveillance footage, email me and I will get an additional copy from Jose the security guard. Free bag of popcorn with video.

#3: Jeff came home from his trip. Its fantastic to have him home and not away. And … well thats pretty much it for that one.
Lowlights – the lesser known childhood commentary

#1: Someone in advertising got fired at work. Felt really bad for her. Didn’t see it coming. And thats really all I should say about that. I hope she finds work soon and that its something that she’s good at and that she loves to do. Here’s hoping there aren’t any more firings in the works and at the very least, that I’m not one of the unsuspecting schmoes.

#2: I weighed myself for the first time in 18 months and … it wasn’t pretty.
I’ve whined about it ever since and dragged Jeff out of bed this morning to go running with me. Maybe dragged is too strong a word. I mumbled “do you want to go running” and he popped right out of bed, got dressed and waited about 15 minutes for me to follow suit. And then we headed east and “ran” to the first cross street where I thought I was going to die. We then proceeded to walk swiftly for the remaining 7/8 mile.

Thats all for me. Hope you all have a magical mothers day.
