Was that guy just carrying a machine gun?

I could really use a day off.  I do get to see "Hairspray" at Derby Dinner Playhouse tonight though, so that's fun and exciting.  I hope I don't sleep through it. 

Totally saw a guy walking down the street today with what appeared to my peripheral vision to be a black machine gun.  Which elicited a second look.  And an adrenaline rush.  Upon further inspection, the machine gun morphed into an umbrella.  But it was too late for my adrenal gland to stop and I was soon hyped up on adrenaline with no vans to stop (note the Twilight reference here).  My body was ready to race ahead of this crazed white-middle-aged, dress shirt wearing terrorist and save the whole city.  Although my body was ready to save the city, the city didn't really need saved.  It also probably isn't ready for me yet.  I take some getting used to. 

This abundance of adrenaline and lack of city to save led to abnormal twitching and fidgeting from me and jumping at every noise, even if said noise came from my shoe meeting the floor.  And I twitch and fidget a lot normally, so abnormal levels for me are serious business.  That was fine, except I had no work needing to be done, so I was lost in the internets, cracked out on adrenaline and no outlet for said energy.  Second problem is the now point.  Where all that nice adrenaline has been used up with my twitching and now I'm exhausted like I just ran a marathon.  So, thank you guy toting a machine gun that upon inspection from other humans disguises itself as an innocent looking umbrella.

Really boring fact if you ask me.  My machine gun toting terrorist is seventeen times (at least) more interesting.

Things learned this past week:
* Hub is a horrible auction bid placer.  He only wanted to win one or two things at a silent auction at work.  We are now the proud owners of tickets to the Louisville Science Center, Tinseltown movie theater, Frazier History Museum, and the Creation Museum.
* Hub's co-workers are slowly catching on to is nerdiness.  The lady he picked is winnings up from asked what he wont again.  And then went "oh yea, you got all the museum tickets." haha
* Don't plan events.  Just don't do it.  Especially if you are a perfectionist and a procrastinator all in one. (Which I'm convinced is some cruel joke from God.)  Also don't do it if in general you do things well or above expectations.  Because the situation will probably follow the norm.  And now you're in deep crap because you will be in charge of everything.  Forever.
* Hub says some funny stuff sometimes.  Sunday in the middle of me bossing him around (he kept asking what I wanted him to do so it was okay) and getting everything for vow renewal for my in-laws, Hub goes "If I didn't think it would equal a lot of work for me, I'd tell you to start catering as a job."  haha.  I love you Hub.  Although, I think I could be an event planned.  They just wear those cool headset things and yell at people and boss everyone around.  Which I'm totally awesome at.  I love playing with (and usually breaking...see iFan blogs) fancy electronics, am great at bossing people around - have been practicing this for my entire life, and actually love yelling at people-just ask my color guard girls.  So if anyone knows how I would go about becoming an event planner, let me know.  We might have just discovered my calling in life.  About dang time. 
* Sharp knifes will cut you.  Especially once they get the taste of your blood.  They will come back for more.
