Weekend Recap

We had a great weekend!  Very low-key and relaxing, which is so nice in the middle of busy season for a CPA.  On Friday, actually, I decided to increase my part-time percentage at work.  I was at 90% and am moving to 95%.  I did it with mixed emotions.  I am doing the work, so I might as well get paid for it (pro), but I don't want to be doing the work (con)...but such is life right now.  It helps our family financially as Brent is still growing his business.  The best part?  We are going to get a cleaning lady again!!!  That in itself was probably the best part of the weekend - ha!

Anyway, Brent and I rented 50/50.  We both really enjoyed it.  I did cry a few times, and Brent kept looking at me asking if I was crying.  I finally told him to stop looking at me if he didn't want to know if I was crying.  But even with a few tears, this was a really great movie!

And Sunday was Broadway Across America night - and it was WICKED!!!  This is still my favorite play of all time.  Now, granted, I've only seen about 10 plays, but this is leaps and bounds my #1.

Trent also got another successful haircut!  And we spent a lot of time with my sis and the kiddos got along good.


So overall a really good weekend.  Too bad work has to get in the way of such great times...

I was in the car leaving the gym the other day and was listening to the radio.  I ended up on a certain radio station.  This radio station and I have a history with each other.  And as I was listening to Christina Perri '1000 Years', I had a little chuckle to myself and thought this would be a fun little story to share and a great memory to keep.

My dad only listens to this radio station.  And I used to hate it.  I mean a station that plays a song entitled 'Take Me to the Snake Farm' (and I am dead serious) is just not for me.  So when I rode with him in his truck, we fought over the radio.  I would vehemently argue with him about this stupid station that played stupid music.


Well, rewind in your minds to June 27, 2009.  My due date with Trent.  Except Trent didn't want to come out.  And I was upset.  I rode with my parents to my cousin's daughter's birthday party and was on the verge of tears the entire car ride but was trying so hard to hide it.  And we had that station on the entire car ride...except the music didn't suck!  For the first time ever, I was enjoying the music.  But then we pulled up in front of my cousin's house, my mom got out of the car, and I burst into tears and bawled 'Daddy, I don't want to be pregnant anymore.'  Not one of my finer moments...but I was at least happy with the music.  And when I finally told my dad that he had a chuckle.


Then a few years later, I was driving to a client, and there was a new station in town playing great music!  I didn't know what it was, but I was so excited. Until they paused for station identification and it was THAT station...they had just moved frequencies.  So I had to call my dad, and he had a chuckle.


Now?  That station is one of my presets.  Oh how the mighty have fallen.
