Fall Break 2010

This has been an interesting fall break from EKU. Let me fill you in on the various adventures I've had this year.

Friday: Well...yeah. We'll leave that one alone. We'll just say that I had a good time with my friends and family. Look forward to doing it again. Hopefully this time I won't catch Kayla germs in the process.

Saturday: Took Kayla to various places in Richmond to hunt for her keys (don't worry, she found them later) because she lost them Friday night. Felt like poop most of the day. No, not hung over. Just sickly. Again, I blame this on Kayla germs.

Once I made it home, I turned right around and headed down to Nashville to the Grand Ole Opry with my Dad. Saw three drag queens in a gas station bathroom. That was fun. :-) Saw Dolly at the Opry and she sang my favorite song. A song that reminds me of my family and our heritage. A song that reminds me to look at what is in the hearts of people and not their possessions. A song that will eventually end up being an inspiration for a new tattoo. I've always wanted "One is only poor only if they choose to be" tattooed on my arm. And no, I'm not talking actual poverty and economics. When I get the tattoo I will blog about what that lyric means to me.

Dad was not impressed with Nashvegas. Too many people. Too much traffic. But he said he was glad he went and I  know he thoroughly  enjoyed some of the performances, including Dolly's. We are big Dolly Parton fans in my family.

Sunday: Took my cats to the apartment. They traveled well, all things considered and seemed to like the apartment life quite well. Especially Emmie, whom I have always said was a "city kitty" anyway. I left them up there with intentions of going back Sunday night, but I discovered once I got back to Jackson County that my car was trying to run a little hot. I didn't want to risk the extra trip back to Richmond. So I didn't go back last night. I am going back tonight. I'm sure the cat children will be happy to see their mother.

Monday: This is technically my last day of fall break. I'm back to work tomorrow even if Eastern's students aren't back at school. Today I have done homework, packed stuff to move, and spent as much time outside as I can. I didn't get my car in to the mechanic like I had hoped, but I think it will be okay until Friday morning. I just need to play around under the hood myself to hold off a "vet" visit as long as I can (I call everything the vet these days, doctors, mechanics, etc.).

I didn't get to go to classes today due to being stuck in JC with a bum vehicle. I'm not attempting to drive to Lexington if my car is gonna overheat. And I've been sickly all day and bummed out (over various personal things). So Monday has sucked. As Monday sometimes does.

Anyway, that's my fall break. Hope all ya'll that have had or are currently on fall break are enjoying yourselves. Peace homies!
