Today was a wonderful day. I woke up fairly early this morning because the Basham's were leaving early and Lucy refused to stay asleep since she could hear them getting ready. I dozed on the couch until they left, and then laid in bed and watched gameday for a little bit. Kristi and I took Lucy on a walk, and then I made some brunch.
By then it was time for one of my favorite things ever...Clemson football. I've been a little down about the program (see my longstanding facebook group), but nonetheless I knew that we were playing NC State which should provide a good ACC win. The Tigers did not let me down, and it was good to see us win fairly decisively. During half-time Kristi and I went to get some groceries for the week at Wal-Mart. We were supposed to go out to eat with all of the Boyds for Chad's birthday dinner tonight, but he got tickets to the USC game, so that was cancelled. Instead, Kristi's parents and grandmother came over for dinner, and I made the best dinner I have in my arsenal. I had to get a few things I needed, and we also got the rest of the groceries for the week. We decided to try out Bi-Lo instead of our usual Wal-Mart, and while we agreed the overall experience was better, it's still just a little more expensive on some of the essentials...don't worry Wal-Mart, we'll be back next week...we're sorry we ever doubted you.
We came home and I watched Clemson finish their win, and then moved on to watching the USC vs. UGA game. After watching for a little bit I took Lucy for a second walk. She really loves the outdoors, and just gets so hyper. Anyways, everyone all week had been talking about how UGA was great, they were going to blow USC out, blah, blah, blah...I've watched the past few years of football and I knew that for some reason the Gamecocks always play the Dawgs tough. And just as expected history repeated itself. Thankfully Georgia pulled it out in the end. I missed the big fumble because I was in the middle of cooking...as much as I hate USC football, that had to be pretty heartbreaking.
Kristi family came over and we ate dinner. It was alot of fun, although Lucy barked a little too much. The food and conversation was good and it was nice to have some company over. After they left Kristi and I watched tv for a little bit and then went to bed.
I did work on my new song some and I think it's coming along nicely. When I'm done I'll post a link to a scratch recording along with the lyrics for anyone that is interested.
Can a day get any better than that? Relaxing with family, eating good food, taking the dog for walks, and watching football. Not only that, but Clemson wins and USC loses...what a great day.
Tomorrow I'll be up at 6:15 so I can get into work on time. I think I am just the stage manager again, so I don't know that I'll be doing anything. The "Children of the World" choir is performing for all 3 services, so I hope they are pretty exciting. Maybe by the third service I will have learned their songs and can make a guest appearance. If only they knew how good I am...
