Red Dirt, Football and Brad Paisley

“If it's not fun, you're not doing it right!” ~ Bob Basso

Phew. I'm exhausted just thinking about everything I did over the weekend. Here's a little taste for you!
Friday
I had my one year review at work. They didn't fire me. I call that success! Below is a picture of what I came back to in my office from my secertary and paralegal. The paper says, "Here's a box to pack your stuff. We'll miss you!" But they did put a cupcake inside, so all was forgiven.
After the review I made mad dash for the Junior Livestock Sale at the State Fair. It was fun to be a buyer....talk about seeing the other side of things! I don't have my picture yet, but I will do an update and include it when it arrives.
Then on Friday night I went to the Eli Young Band concert at the State Fair with two friends....we'll call them the Twins' Girls. Trust me---I needed my Red Dirt fix! I listen to the music constantly on my iPod, but there is just nothing like a good ol' live Red Dirt concert! And Eli Young has some awesome songs---Guinevere, Small Town Kid, Oklahoma Girl (which incidentally I'm pretty sure was written about me...) Great night!Saturday


I got the firm tickets to go to the UNM/Utah football game. My Aggie Friend said she would come along.

Now, let's be real....I'm not a Lobo. I did get a law degree from here, but long before I set foot in that law school it was clear that I bleed ORANGE and everyone knows where my allegience lies. And I wore my OSU shirt--we were in the process of beating up on TU, so I had to support my boys! (And, FYI....I was NOT the only OSU fan in the crowd--another guy had his orange an black on supporting the Pokes as well!)
Anyway, I didn't care that UNM was going to get killed (one of my bosses referred to the game as the slaughtring of the wolves). All I know is that I got to see a top 15 team play college football live.....it was a great night under the lights (until they went out an we had to take a little break). Seriously, I have said for years I will watch any game, any time, any where and have a blast.
We made it through half of the 3rd quarter before making a break for food and better games on tv. We actually saw UNM score once and everyone cheered. That was about the only good point for the Lobos, so I was sure to snap a photo.

Sunday
Sunday afternoon I headed out to the Brad Paisley Water Tour at the Hard Rock. College Roomie, McCain, and Aggie Friend all bought lawn tickets for the show and had a blast!There were so many great acts....Steel Magnolia, Josh Thompson, Easton Corbin, Justin Moore, Daruis Rucker (aka HOOTIE!) and Brad. Because of all of the excitement, I will be doing another post just on this alone....so stay tuned! Let's just say that if a certain singer was not married, we would have very cute children, and I have the picture to prove it! :)

It was a great weekend! I think I am still tired from it though! :) We did buy something. Our family, the Franklins and High Noon Feeds went in on a lamb. I'll get the picture up once the kid sends it!
