Today, Barb is: on cloud nine!
and i don't want to come down!

so today is saturday, yea saturday.
last night was one of the best night in my life!
so we had the concert last night and i was helping to sell stuff for IRA and so we were waiting for them to come, just hanging out.
they were supposed to be there like around 4.30ish, but they didn't get there until like 7.30ish, but it was all good.

the first guy i met was tommy, and i didn't even put it together that he was Tom O'Donnel, the IRA bassist. so yea, that was a shock there. but then Andrea and I got the stuff set up and it was fun. they then played their set, it was amazing! like, just unreal. i loved it so much. the Hopefuls played before them and they just rocked the house! but then when IRA got up there, it was something else. they were so freakin awesome. they rocked so much! and then when they were done, it was cool because we sold a bunch of stuff. and then i got to meet the band. the WHOLE band. they all know me by name right now. and after that i got my picture taken with them and they signed my sign and i was SO excited. after that, they had gotten all packed up and i asked them where they were going to go, if just back to the hotel or out to a bar, they wanted to go back to the hotel so they could get out of their sweaty clothes. and then they wanted to go out to a bar. i told them that the only bar worth while was Emma's. i convinced them to come out to emma's with the group of us. it was amazing! so i went and grabbed some food since i hadn't eaten anything since around 2ish that day when i met mom for chipotle. so i grabbed food and went there and 2 seconds after i walked in, they did too! it was three of the guys and their driver/roadie. it was amazing! we hung out, talked, Ike bought me my drinks, Ike bought me FLOWERS!!!!! yea that is right, i have had flower bought for me on 2 occassions. once was freshman year in college when my friends Ryan and Eli bought me a rose, and then Ike bought me a boquet of flowers! so Ike is the nicest guy in the WORLD! like the whole band is just amazing.

and then! so after hanging out with them for like, 3 hours i had to go home so i said goodbye to them all and we hugged and kisses were given on the cheek, ahhh, it was great. so i went home. then this morning, since i knew they were staying at the Country Inn and that is like 200 feet from my apartment, as i was driving to work this morning, i decided to swing in and see if the bus was there or if they had left, as i am driving in, the bus is there and the guys are standing around getting in and ready to leave. so i jumped out of the van and went to say goodbye to them. it was great because they all knew my name and told me that they all had so much fun and that they wanted to see me at their next show in the cities which is in November, and Ike said that Karyn(she is our campus event coordinator) had his email and that i should email them and they would put me on the comp list so i can get in for free! and they all said goodbye and then drove off into the sunset. but the driver did ask me for easiest directions on how to get to 94, ahhh so yea, if anyone wants to go to a KICK @$$ show with me, just let me know, because i will be there!

so in short,
i love the Ike Reilly Assassination!!!!!

Today, Barb is feeling: F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!!
so yea today is friday!!!!!!!!!
reasons why barb is in a good mood,
#1 - Ike Reilly Assassination (IRA) is going to be here tonight for a concert.
#2 - Barb gets to meet the IRA tonight because she is selling their stuff.
#3 - It is Friday! which means that tomorrow is Saturday!
#4 - Barb has a quiz in Econ that she studied for!
#5 - Today in speech, Barb has to do her box (4 things in a box that describe you).
#6 - The pain in my leg is starting to go away.

what pain you might ask?
well, i started Unicycling on tuesday!
yep that is right, barb on one wheel.
so it was going pretty well, i always landed on me feet when i fell, so that was good, and the muscles in my legs were working like they had never worked before and so they hurt. my right muscles are fine now, but my left are still sore. but it went really well i think. joe and kim were there for like the last 20 mins and so that was nice. i go back on tuesday again! hip hip HORAAY

Today, Barb is feeling: like she wants to hurt someone.
but that is another story for another day.

so the good news on the front today is that i am not moving!
so yea, that is a good thing. because that means that there will be no help needed to move my whole apartment and all the roommates stuff within a few days, so HAZAAA!

the other really fun news is that tomorrow i have my first unicycle class tomorrow. so i will let you all know how that goes.

other than that, i am just waiting for the hubbub to die down so i can start my homework. so yea, that is about all from me right now....

Today, Barb is feeling: colder than a penguin being pushed into the sea.

so today is Friday.... and i am SO excited.
i have to work and such over the weekend, but it will be nice to have some down time again. last night since it was the first night this week that i had nothing to do, other than homework, i went to my cousin matts house and had dinner. he made grilled pork, homemade mashed potatoes, gravy, and canned green beans. it was great!it was really fun to be able to hang out with him, he is like in my top 3 favorite cousins so it was fun times. i watched Lock, Stock, and Two smoking barrels while i was there. good flick.

so guess what else i did yesterday?
i called and registered for my Unicycling classes.
i have paid. that means that it is official. i am going to learn.
so when i called my mom and told her this, she was very proud of me. we got to chatting and she brought up the time when i was taught to golf. i had no patience whatso ever with golfing. as i look back, i think it is because i am just not really interested in golfing. you walk around, swing your club, hit your ball. that is like baseball with walking to me. and i don't really like baseball. never really got into the sport.

now 2 sports that i really like is our football, and european football (soccer to us) now there you have people trying to hurt you kinda, and you have offense and defense and i just like those better than some other sports. now i will watch baseball, no problem there, but i can't really watch golf. i just find golf boring.

so yea that is my random rants of sports stuff for today.

Today, Barb is feeling: like spirling into the deep dark abbyss of nothingness.

so i am totally feeling better, still coughing up that phlemgh now and again, but for the most part i am better, so that is good.

but the weather SUCKS!
now it looks like it would be nice, it is cloudy, dark, overcast, and looks like rain. but it is HOT out. yes hot with CAPITAL letters. the humidity needs to break and then it would be better, but we had rain last night and that didn't help much. alright im not going to lie, it didn't help at all! so like just sitting in class and all you are doing is sweating profusley and not moving, that is just bad.

but now i am upstairs in the student center working at the Student Services desk and let me tell you, i have never been more excited for air conditioning than today! just sleeping works up a sweat, and last night i was contemplating just sleeping out on our couches so i could get some sleep.

and of course with all the humidity in the air, my hair is just going crazy! i showered last night and everything and put my hair up so it would look cute this morning, and none of that worked! i feel all yucky from sweating all over the place in Stats... bleck

so next tuesday i should be taking my Uni classes. unicycle for those of you who haven't talked to me in a while. that is right, i am again following in my big bro's footsteps and starting to uni. it will be fun. i will hurt and sweat like a mother, but i think it will be worth it!
