one week from today and i will be in the glorious sangre de cristo mountains, soaking up colorado! i'm so excited, mostly because the heat index was 110 yesterday. one hundred and ten - that's intense.
yesterday i went to a fantastic concert - john mayer, colbie callait, and brett dennen. it was at the outdoor pavilion in the woodlands (a suburb of houston) and it was in-credible. it was a little strange because brett started playing before 7 (which was the published start of the concert) so we walked in while he was singing, even though we were early. he sounded really great live, but we missed most of his performance while we were getting situated and everything. we had lawn seats so i brought my crazy creek. oh, here's a side note, since i've been in texas, 4 people have bought crazy creeks - i'm starting a trend! the other staff likes to make fun of me, but really they are just jealous :) the legs of two chairs fell off, and the staff has been calling those chairs their 'crappy creeks' - haha! it's been a fun little running joke.
anyways, back to the concert. colbie came out next, and she's pretty good. she sounds great live, but just doesn't have much of a stage presence. she just kind of stands there and sings, nothing spectacular. BUT during her song 'realize' john mayer came out and made it into a duet - very cool! their voices sound great together. and then JOHN MAYER! he was fantastic - great music, fabulous guitar solos and rifs, and a great stage presence. i would highly suggest seeing john in concert, and i would go see him again for sure.
i found out about this concert and invited people and got it all set up. we ended up buying 9 tickets, and then two people backed out and we found another person to come. there was a little too much drama for me over these tickets, but it all worked out. there was a group of 8 of us that ended up going. the lawn seats were very fun, just sitting on the grass and hanging out with friends - what a fun night!
so, more about my car. i took it to a body shop to get the dents popped out, but boy was i surprised! they ended up writing a formal estimate and their estimate was $2600! not at all what i was expecting! so, i ended up calling my insurance agent and making a claim and learning about how that whole process works. the adjuster came out to make his own estimate of my car and he wrote me a check that day! crazy, i didn't know that's how that would work. so now i just need to get my car into the shop.
today starts week 9 of 9! last week of summer camp! i'm excited for a change of pace, but also my staff is going crazy. someone thretened to quit on friday and others are just crazy in the way they are dealing with other staff members. i have 15 activity staff (support staff for you rtlc-ers) and hopefully we'll get a lot done this week and stay focused on the kids. here's hoping!
ok, time to get ready for the last sunday of the summer!
