Sometimes you just gotta get it out:
- Soccer: Addison’s first game last night got tornadoed out. There were warnings around us and a little rain, so it was called off. She was disappointed. In a word, soccer in Oxford doesn’t seem to be as big/good as soccer in Clinton.
- Owl City: It’s just a guy w/ some really creative skills in making music. It’s my new fave. It should be yours too. Unless you like Nickleback. Then there’s no hope.
- I’m watching politics now. Not sure who I’ll vote for. Pretty sure who I won’t vote for. But nothing is for certain. Palin’s speech tonight should be interesting. I feel sorry for her daughter. On many different levels.
- I’m looking forward to this fall at The Orchard. Very interested to see all that God does with us. We want to be used by Him.
- MSU’s opponent for this weekend is actually staying at Camp Lake Stephens a few miles away from me. I might try to go see them playing in the creek or taking a mud hike. How funny would that be?
- I set up a 12′ soccer goal in my back yard Monday. It’s nice. It’ll be a pain to move/take down.
- There are Louisiana evacuees all around town. The Square was full of them yesterday. There are even a lot on my street. New Orleans still is closed.
- I miss a good Clinton High School pep rally. Nothing compares. And I especially like when they “close” with Superstar.
- My wife is at the doctor. Five dogs attacked her while she was running the other night. Bit her leg. Obviously it isn’t too serious if she’s just now at the doctor two mornings later. But for a tetanus shot and all that. But a car came up honking and swerving at the dogs to scatter them. She says if not for that car they might have taken her down. Scary.
I got more stuff. But should be more than a list of things.
Danngg. That story about Bev still scares me. I’m really glad she is ok. I think my dislike for Nickelback will help me like Owl City more? I should listen to him. I think it’s never too late to start training for the half. I mean, ash and I started monday. Yes–2 days ago. You can do it. We are only running 2.5/3 miles this week. Next week we bump up to 5 on friday. [which is our long run day] So- you can do it. It would be awesome to run it with [and by with, I mean, in the same race as you] you, alex, will, ash (possible kels, bec, and emily?) I hope we all end up doing it. Sign up by sept. 15th for it to cost $45 if not, it bumps up to $75, in which case I would say “bump that”. haha. I’m ready to come to oxford to see you and the fam again.
Until then,
jennnn.
you drunkily texted me ‘5 hogs’ instead of dogs.
I, too, have sympathy for the family members of public figures. Just because one person in the family chooses to be in the public eye doesn’t mean the rest of the family wants to be scrutinized.
