The day started off with me waking up to the purring of one Miss Piper Prue on the pillow beside me, glaring me in the eyes. She kitty kissed me and I woke up as if I was in “Enchanted” or something. Yeah, that sounds a bit weird and gay.

Anyway, I head to school, drama about my check happens and I study for my test. I head to take my test, go pay my cell phone bill and then I go to Dairy Queen where they have my new guilty pleasure…. a Cherry Artic Rush! When it’s hot and humit outside and you’re longing for something, it’s better than sex, especially bad sex. On Friday after showing my mom around the new offices, we stopped by Diary Queen and got an ice cream cone. I kept eyeing the display but never got one. Yesterday after leaving class, I decided to go straight home but stopped by DQ to get one, just to try it. Love at first slurp, I’m telling you.

So I head back to the office to wait around for the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new building that I will live in for the next six to eleven months, depending on when I graduate.  The internet finally works in the lobby where my desk at my work study job now, thank God!

The ceremony started a little after six and at the hottest time of the day, I swear. The sun was glaring down on us and the men wore suits, of course. Then I spotted someone I hadn’t seen in a long time… Mrs. Carter, who was a teacher of mine when I went to school for web design. She taught keyboarding, but then went back to teaching high school and is now a State Representative in Congress or something… so I went to say hello to her and she remembered me and we talked. It was nice seeing her. I left school suddenly when I stopped going and never got to say goodbye to her because she left teaching there while I was on my “break.”

After that, I took a few more pics and I left to come home. I’m so freakin’ tired.

Okay so it’s not as dirty as it sounds. I will be slowly uploading the pictures over the next few days. I’m sort of a photography freak - especially since I got my new camera and the lens I have for it - but I took 900 photos LMAO! Some were deleted for being a bit blurry but the majority are very good.

Anyway, the concert was awesome! First off, I must say that Dierks is by far one of the nicest celebrities I’ve met in a meet and greet type setting. He was so nice and personable. I think my favorite part of meeting him was he looked at my press pass that I had on and asked if I was a writer and all and I noticed he spelled my name right on my picture and I’m like “Hey, how did you know how to spell my name?” and he laughed, telling me he cheated by looking at my card LMAO! He also said he liked the spelling of my name and that I could stay around backstage and take as many pics as I wanted. Before heading back out to my seat, I saw a few guys that I go to school with that work on the camera crew there at the theme park and talked with them.

I missed seeing Bucky Covington and I’m not too broken hearted, though. Luke Bryan, on the other hand, was AMAZING. He knew how to draw the crowd in and his little stage moves remind me of Billy Currington. He sung all of his songs, along with “Good Directions” which he co-wrote for Billy. Dierks part of the concert was pure magic. He reminds me of Garth Brooks on stage, running from end to end and then just getting so involved in the show itself that he doesn’t know what to do next. I really liked the acoustic part of the show when he sung “My Last Name,” which is one of my favorite songs. The show was so entergetic and just… awesome. That’s all I can really say about it.

Now I must go get some sleep…. the Daytona 500 is tomorrow.
