Jonathan and I decided to take a trip to Memphis, TN in March and I can’t wait. It’s always nice just to get away for a while and leave everything behind—AKA Work! Today I booked our hotel so it’s official, we’re going! It’s about 10 miles from Graceland–GRACELAND. The home of Elvis Presley!!!! And on a side note- for those of you who might not know–It’s Elvis’ birthday today. The king is/was/would be another year older. Happy Birthday Elvis! Well, back to where I was-We’re gonna get to take a tour of Graceland –I’m soo excited. We’ll also, hopefully, get to enjoy some great Jazz music at some jazz clubs and visit sun studios and the infamous Beale street. It’s going to be hard to wait for the next 2 months! We have really wanted to go to Scotland this summer but I think this trip is more in our budget right now! Maybe Scotland next year. Memphis here we come–in 2 months.

Jonathan and I have been on a search for a Wii gaming system so we could get Guitar Hero and be rock stars! Well we’ve had no luck–we almost had one on Wednesday but someone else decided they needed the one that was up at customer service for us, so no such luck. Last night we just decided to get a sony playstation 2 instead, they have just as many games that we would play anyway. So we got the PS2 that came with sing along rock star or whatever–its like a karaoke machine basically. But we also got Guitar Hero III and played it for a good while last night. It’s hard to get the hang of it at first but then I figured it out and Rocked Out!!! It is soo much fun.
Now we just need to get another guitar so we can have duals and play eachother!

A while back I wrote a post about Jonathan doing the laundry and how I asked him kindly to never to the laundry again because I ended up with a pink shirt that was white and another shirt that had a blue tint to it. I had to explain that women’s clothing is different than men’s clothing and you can’t wash some of them the same. I thought we had an understanding. He has been trying to do more around the house to help me out even though I tell him he doesn’t need to b/c I can still do it. I know he was just trying to help and he didn’t malliciously do laundry to ruin clothes. He did laundry last night for me, and I do appreciate his help, but what he didn’t realize is that I had some jeans in there I just got and hadn’t been washed yet. These jeans needed to be washed by themselves because they will bleed and they also needed to be laid flat to dry because they will shrink. Anyway, I didn’ tknow what he washed last night, I was thinking it was the whites because you really can’t screw them up unless you put a red sock mixed in. well this morning I stuck my scrubs in the dryer to iron them-ha-and when I opened the door I saw these jeans and then saw my favorite white sweater. I pulled the sweater out and it is now a light gray-blue color along with some other white shirts I have. And for the jeans, they are now too small to wear…so the new jeans I have never worn will never be worn.

But to be fair I went out and mowed the backyard and a good part of the front yard yesterday when I got home after he told me to rest and not do anything. I think he was a little mad when I told him and I feel bad for that. I know he worries about me but at the same time I know my limitations and because I felt bad to begin with doing certain things doesn’t necessarily make it worse. I’d feel bad either way and I might as well get stuff done that needs it. But I will admit I probably shouldn’t have mowed the yard because it did wear me out and I didn’t feel great afterwards. So that being said we are even, he did the laundry and I mowed the yard.
