UGH! I LOVE CORPS ENCORE!!!!!
For those of you who have know idea what that is, it's a marching band competition associated with the DCI (Drum Corps International) Program. Some of, if not, the best marching bands this country has to offer.
Every summer they have a competition up and Weber State. I haven't been in four years.
It is SO AMAZING!!!!
Impulse was by far my favorite corps in the Open Class category was Impulse. They for sure had my favorite uniforms of the night, although closely followed by Vanguard. They had Aussies for their hats, and they are kind of my favorite marching hat. In the World Class Santa Clara Vanguard was my FAVORITE!!!!! Their show was Les Miserable's. And they had so many cool effects. UGH! I wish I had been allowed to record it. And sadly, I couldn't find anyone on youtube who recorded it and decided to put it up. sadface.
Seriously though, I recommend checking out www.dci.org to learn more about what they are all about.
Then the fourth, I woke up at 3 in the morning to a bunch of lightening. Was up for an hour and a half. Then got up at six thirty. Went to April's, where she did my hair for the Holiday. Went to work. Was stressed out and grumpy all day at work. (Not to any patrons thought, don't worry. Just mostly to myself).
After work I headed down to Saratoga Springs and spent the evening with Dani. Her neighbors were have a BBQ and setting off a bunch of fireworks. Arial fireworks are legal in Utah now, so looking across Utah Lake, you could see the entire Valley shooting off fireworks. All the way from Thanksgiving Point to Stadium of fire, and all the home owners in between setting off their fireworks.
Dani's poor dogs were scared out of their minds, which is why she left them inside in the kennel while we were outside. Then we went in to her one dog having gotten completely sick in her kennel. This is the same dog that has been sick for a few days. By this point Dani asked me if I just wanted to stay the night. (We had met at the Smiths and left my car there). So I crashed there with no toiletry items whatsoever.
I wake up to her letting the dogs out and on the phone with her husband. (I think part of why she wanted me to stay was he was out of town for work, but he should be back.) And she was in tears. Her dog had gotten worse, so I offered to go to the vet with her. (I knew she could use the moral support). After we get her dog taken care of, I get back to my car (around noon).
I put gas in it and then I went through Coffee Creations drive through. And I got a frozen hot chocolate...I quite possibly love those things more than life itself. I'm sure a big reason why I love it so much is all the memories associated with it, but still...of the Gods.
Then, instead of being smart and just hopping on Redwood and taking Bangater to the freeway, I decided to drive through down town Lehi, thinking back to life there. My first place of employment, my first high school, the middle school I went to, where I bought the boutonniere for the one formal dance I went to in high school. I miss Lehi a lot, life was easier when I lived there. (A lot of that has to do with the fact that I was still in high school and not responsible for paying rent and stuff.)
I finally got home around 1, took a shower, and then a nap.
And that was my adventures for the last few days. Now just to survive work tomorrow. (I really do LOVE my job, I'm just really tired, mostly mentally wiped out, which sleep doesn't do much for.
