News on the roof! :)

It looks like we have gotten everything with the roof figured out...we even picked out roof colors last night! hooray! :) Its amazing the stuff you start thinking about when you are buying a house....you start paying attention to roofs, and what color they are...and how long they are going to last! its crazy, crazy stuff....so we close 2 weeks from yesterday. i got to thinking about that the other day and realize....HOLY SHIT...i've got about 3 weeks to pack stuff. Cody doesn't seem to be worried in the least about it...which is totally a guy thing i think but thats why you guys need women, to get things like this done :) hehe! just kidding! We aren't actually going to move until the weekend of the 24th.

The Roof!

Well, things are working themselves out! woohoo! there is a roof plan of action and the closing date looks to be the same...so that is one less stress. a lot of things are working themselves out lately, which is great...hopefully i will get to order my wheels in the next couple of days, so that i can get my car fixed so that i can drive it again. woohoo...theres nothing like paying an ass load of money a month for a car that you can't even drive! :) but alas...it will get done :)

Coming up this week!

Lisa and the triplets (thats our actual band name :) are playing the blue note Thursday night! I'm thinking show starts at 9 but i can't honestly remember

The Stringents and Carrie Webber this Friday night at Galileos....should be a good show! i think Carrie and Sarah are going to start at about 9...stringents will probably go on about 10.

This weekends events!

So what did we do this weekend?

Friday night we went to Tulsa to D-fest. We saw Carrie Webber w/ Sarah, and the KC Clifford...then we went and saw the Flaming Lips....it was a really good show....I love waynes idea on life! love EVERYONE....it makes more sense to me than anything else...

Saturday we went to lyric theatre and saw singing in the rain...i really liked that a lot...i had never seen it or the movie for that matter and it was really, really good. I really want to learn to tap dance now though :)

Then, the stringents played at Earlywine park. It was a lot of fun...i've missed playing music with those girls...it was a good show! :) and we are playing with carrie webber on Friday night at Galileos! :)

Another show that everyone should come see....Lisa, Reyna and I will be playing the Blue Note on Thursday....not sure on the time but i will let you know!

Also, we have some roof problems with the house! :( I think everything is going to be okay but its just a little stressful right now (really for cody but i get a little stressed when he is stressed)...we've got people coming out today to give estimates...we are thinking that the owners of the house now will take care of most of it...but its going to be really expensive because it has 3 layers of roof! insurance companies wouldn't cover that so it has to be fixed in order to get the loan...its great fun! :) Hopefully we will still be able to close on the 15th!

It is drive in movie time again...we are going to go next Saturday...not sure what is playing yet....in the paper it was license to wed (which i don't really care about seeing), harry potter, and die hard...it could change between now and Saturday though so don't count on those three...but for $5 its good times...i'll be sending out an e-mail or you can e-mail me! :)

oh sweet

so last night we were supposed to go see Singin' in the rain....we were out to eat with his mom and some of her friends and i got a migraine...couldn't see, felt sick to my stomach, head throbbing migraine...wasn't going to be able to eat or go see the show...my sweet boyfriend took me home and took care of me...brought me cold wash clothes to put on my head and made sure that there was little sound and little light...he's a good guy that cody! today, i'm feeling better although i'm feeling mighty loopy! (yes, i know...i know...i'm always loopy)

they just did the house inspection and i'm at work...i don't know how anything went but i'm headed there after i get off here, which is soon...very very soon!

The end of a lot of things!

First, we will miss Grandpa Griffith as it is ...but know that it is for the better good that these things happen. Being in a couple of bands that have broken up i know that it is not worth going through the motions if you aren't happy. It doesn't make the music good and the tension in the band causes problems all around. Its just great that the friends that were created before the band will be able to still be intact....to me that is what matters in life most, friendships! (btw, i do have pictures from the show that will be posted on my GG pic page soon!)

Second, the end of harry potter! the book was great! i'm not going to go into great detail at the moment other than that because i know several of you haven't read it and are planning too. there are sad parts and there are parts that you cry because they are just so great...but overall, i think this was a great ending to a great series and i feel like a part of me is missing...i'm not sure how i'm going to fill that hole. :( but alas, i can still re-read them and then when i have kids that can be their bed time stories! :)

Thursday and Friday of this last week i worked at camp shiloh...they needed someone to fill in so i went and helped. i love that camp...it makes me happy and i think they do great things for kids that great things don't happen very often. kids that need help and that not just a week at camp will be able to help. example...i was put in the discipline tent on friday afternoon. these kids were talking about thinking it was funny to hurt people. that watching people fall when you hit them was funny. one of these kids was talking about someone that he saw getting shot not to long ago. as i was watching this kid (who had to at least be 11, maybe older) i noticed he still sucked his thumb. that is his security. i wish there was some easy way to help these kids and their families...

We have the inspection for the house this friday....hopefully everything goes okay.

woohoo!

the offer was accepted! :)

The House

Still don't know anything but i thought i would put a picture...just because :)

Whats been happening! :)

So...its been a few days since i've really posted anything and a ton has happened...first...I think that the 5th harry potter movie was the best of the movies so far! Yes, it did leave things out...yes, it did change some things around but i think it got most of the points from the book across and did it much better than the other movies...my mother thinks it was somewhat dark but the whole 5th book is somewhat dark so what can you expect...i'm truly excited for Friday...the last book for the harry potter series (for now anyway :)....i've got my on reserve at Borders and we are planning on going to the ball :) we aren't actually going to dress up for the ball but whatever...we are making shirts :) which will give me something else to waste time doing today.

Lisa and I also played the Woody Gutherie festival this weekend....it was awesome...first the show was great, we had a really good set. Then, although, i'm new to the folk world, it is so much different....they are really laid back and cool and all these amazing musicians are walking around just chilling, talking music stuff...there is no feeling that even though you are not a headliner that you aren't important to music too...its was just great. the little town of okemah is prefect too...you have your couple of bars that are played at and a little theatre (they did most of the large shows there because of all the rain). As a musician you get kind of treated as royality...you get free food all weekend...you get special attention when you need something, but only if you have the badge on... :) Then although i didn't get to stay...all the musician then jam at all hours of the night in the motel parking lot...forming little groups and it just doesn't matter if you are a little know musician or a headlining one...everyone is pretty much just all about the music...it is extrememly awesome! :)

Then, lastly but for sure not leastly...cody put a offer on a house last night...its in the miller addition and its extremely cute...we should know probably later today if they will take the offer or counter offer...cody is A LOT nervous about it...but he has things in his favor...it is very exciting stuff...if all goes well he will be closing on the house Aug 15th. we will have a house warming party maybe around halloween :) hehe! :)
