Lean

I'm sitting here in Kingston Springs with a house full of dogs. I'm watching them and the house for a couple days. It'd be heaven...cable, internet, naps...if it weren't for the fact that I am SO sick and nauseated that I can't focus on anything but that.

I should know better than to drink as much as I have two nights in a row. It is my own stupidity. However, both nights were lovely. Yes, lovely. Friday night I saw Patty Griffin, Kris Kristofferson, and Randy Owen in the round with Chelsee & Rob. It was awesome! To see that much talent, that close up and intimate was super cool. Then Chelsee and I decided that we weren't brave enough to go to the packed lesbian bar, even if Bekka Bramlett WAS playing. So we opted to eat sushi and drink martinis in East Nashville instead. Then I get a call from G-off and Craig telling us to meet them at Loser's. Oh, Loser's. I spent many a drunken night there trying to heal my broken heart months ago. Haha. I still love the place. However, I was reminded why I haven't gone out with these boys to Loser's in quite awhile. They party like no one I have ever known. It is quite impossible to keep up with them.

Last night I had some people come over. I drank too much with Allyssa before everyone even go here. Then I proceeded to mix liquors, sit on the deck, and participate in a little music jam session. I loved it. Except when I woke up at 6AM this morning on the recliner, with HBO still blaring loud, Allyssa asleep on the couch, and 5 dogs scattered throughout the room. I could barely make it up the stairs. I then woke up at almost 9, completely sick and tired but was forced to come downstairs to give Poodle her insulin shot. So, I've been sitting in this recliner for over 5 hours now. Yup, over 5 episodes of Sex & the City, the ending of Drumline, and half of a Lifetime movie later, I'm still here. Too sick to move.

I'm sad because it's Father's Day today. And my family is all at the Strawberry Festival in my hometown. My little sister is going to be singing "Bubbly" for Strawberry Idol within the hour. I wish I was there. It wouldn't be as hot. I could see her sing. I could remember the good ol days. I could run into a bizillion people I know. I could eat a corn dog with my Dad and then nap on the couch with my Mom. *sighs*

I posted "Lean" on my MySpace b/c it reminds me of my dad... Enjoy.

And P.S. No, I have not responded to the email.
