My Day

I'm just hanging out in Toledo over my break. It's not that bad with no one else here. I've been over at the church the past two nights so that has been keeping me busy. On Tuesdays a few college kids get together and have a bible study and just talk about whatever. I really enjoy it and get a lot out of it. Tonight they had a service at the church so I went to that. I must say I miss the music from back home but it was a nice service anyhow.

Today I went to the mall and got a hair cut, a raspberry julius, Bob Seger's Greatest Hits 2, and The Temptation's Ultimate Collection.....both Cd's we're in the 2 for $22 bin and I love both so I couldn't pass it up. Then I decided I'd swing on over to Guitar Center and play some of their acoustic guitars. I like going into their little room and playing guitars that cost over 2000 dollars. It felt good not to be the least talented guitarist in the room but then I tried playing the banjo like the odd-looking kid in "Deliverance" but it didn't work out so well. Then I plugged in one of the electric guitars to like a 300 hundred dollar amp that did all sorts of cool things......how do I know it did cool things you ask ? Because it has 5 different settings you can put it on. They are as follows: Clean, Blues, Metal, Crunch (yes crunch), and the winner of them all INSANE. I tried them all and the insane setting is exactly that......it doesn't even sound good.......it sounds like static mixed with someone stepping on bubble wrap. Also this amp had an echo and a delay setting that made whatever you were playing sound pretty cool. I hadn't changed my strings on my guitar in about 4 years until about 3 weeks ago. Dad bought me some new strings on his way home from Georgia and man does it sound better.

After my Guitar Center adventure I went to a place called Plato's Closet......it's like a pricey version of Goodwill. You don't pay full price but you don't get super great deals either......I ended up buying 3 shirts. Two American Eagle shirts and one Tommy Hilfiger shirt. Just what I need more shirts.......I think I might try and take some clothes I don't want back to this place.....they said if they are acceptable they'll give you some money for them. I'll have to look into that.

Then I came home and ate some sloppy joes that Mom had sent with me and went to church......and that was my day.

Hmmm what else? Oh I had a dream that the country group Rascal Flatts had a concert at Grafton Inn and I missed it. I was so upset because I knew that it would probably never happen again. I'm glad it was just a dream.

I think that's all I have for now........I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the week !

Ha! I read your away message earlier about Rascal Flatts being at Grafton Inn and I believed you. Of course, I also believed my coworker when he told me there was a pregnant man in the hallway...I need more sleep.

What a treat! This one goes into the blog hall of fame. I learn so much from you youngins. My teachingmate talked about his dream this morning too.
