Lordy Lordy Suzzann’s 40 (part deux)
How in the world can a year have flown by?! I swear I don’t know where the time goes, because I sure as hell don’t seem to be accomplishing all that I want to, but maybe things will be better this year, and I can be more productive. Scootch kicked off Birthday Week by getting me the Amy Winehouse CD when we were in Target Sunday night–I’ve had Rehab on my Pod for eons, and even got the video, but refused to download anymore songs–I just wanted to buy the CD (oh I have been so poor, and there are so many CDs I always want–maybe someday I’ll hit the Powerball, and my dream of all the books and music I want will come true). And although I won’t get to see them for a couple of months in Nashville, Black Crowes tix go on sale the morning after my birthday!!! They’ll be at the Ryman, and I do so love seeing them there–that’s my favorite venue to see them at because the acoustics are just sooo lovely! A tall time will be had by all, I have no doubt! Scootch has been asking me what I want for my birthday, and I just can’t decide, although I do want a laptop, bad, but I doubt that will be happening right now, what with the big Alaska excursion coming down the pike. I know I want the black (white) mask that Bessie turned me on to, and a Clarisonic facial brush, CDs, iTunes cards, and God knows I need a new phone (oooohh iPhone–but they have an exclusive contract with AT&T, and I do loves my Sprint–mainly because Bessie, Mom, Dad, John, and My-Linh all have SPCS, and they do have solid coverage. Ever since they merged with Nextel, their customer service has been for shit, though). Oh well, Suzzann’s about to turn 41, and have lots of fun!

Back to the grindstone
After my loooong, extended vacation from the workforce (since mid-September 2006), I’ve re-entered the workforce. Scootch is soooo happy! I am still adjusting 
But I can’t stand being poverty-stricken any longer, so hi-ho, hi-ho, it’s off to work I go! I’m in “training” for the next 4 weeks, and the training class set the schedule today–7-3:30, which at least means I’ll miss both morning and afternoon traffic. However, that 7 am is going to be oh so dreadfully early after a show the night before. Of course, it’s midnight now, and I should be sleeping, but am I? Some things never change…
Still, the people are nice, and I think it will be an ok gig. And I will like the getting out at 3:30 part! The original schedule I was given was 8:00-4:30, and I thought the 4:30 would give me plenty of time to get to Green Hills and make the 5:30 H2O aerobics class at the Y, but whatevah! The traffic today was horrible, parking at the Y was beyond fiendish, and then after fighting traffic, hunting for a parking space like it was the last pint of Ben and Jerry’s on earth, and getting my carcass in the door–I find out that class has been cancelled due to inclement weather (and by this point it isn’t even raining any more). Yaaaaaaaaah!!! So the leaving at 3:30 will be better. I can be at the gym by 4 since I will miss traffic, and can park and walk for 30 minutes or lift weights before h2o aerobics. Why didn’t I get the skinny gene?!?

Randypalooza
Heading out to meet FeloniusMonk for the Randypalooza show in Five Points! It’s hotter than blister here today, I know the Bonnaroonies are roasting. More about the show later, and I’ll be posting about the Cosmic America show at Springwater, and their gig at the Mercy Lounge.
