The rest of our Mississippi trip was nice. We all really enjoyed "Get Smart" (if you are a Steve Carrell fan- its a must see). Then Jason and I treated my parents to a super yummy feast at Outback as an early birthday dinner for my Mom. Mom and I even splurged and added lobster tails to our steaks. YUM! It was a short trip, but worth it to see the family.
We arrived safely back in Austin yesterday evening. Our drive was made more enjoyable by Mr. Casey Kasem thanks to XM Radio! We listened to the 80's channel for pretty much the entire drive both ways. On the weekends they replay American Top 40 Countdowns from the 80's. It is awesome. Well, this particular one was the "Top 40 Most Influential Artist in the Rock Era" as voted on my DJ's around the world. I honestly don't remember the last time I listened to ALL 4 hours of an AT40 Countdown but this one was SO interesting!! Even though we knew that the top 2 would be Elvis and The Beatles from the start, we still had a great time guessing who the other 38 artists would be and where they would fall on the countdown. We heard everything from Chuck Berry, Pink Floyd and Bruce Springsteen to Lionel Richie, Eric Clapton and Buddy Holly. It was fun!
We were pretty tired and glad to be home. We picked up Tucker on our way home (thank you Amy S for watching him) and we were welcomed by our sweet kitties at home. Cheyenne, on the other hand, was out painting the town with her BFF Harley and his owner Lisa J. They went swimming at the dog park and hung out at Freddie's a cool S. Congress restaurant/live music place that is dog-friendly. Lisa brought her home around 10pm and she was so happy. Thank you so much to our dog-sitters, Amy & Lisa and cat-sitter, Liz!
Today is a crazy day at work. I write this as I take a lunch break at my desk. I am just trying to crank out as much stuff and leave my desk as empty as possible. I will be out Tuesday and Wednesday for Jason's knee surgery.
Tonight we will eat a good dinner (since he can't eat anything after midnight) and take it easy. ("The Bachelorette" Finale is on- so I will be glued to the TV for that!!)
They have moved his surgery time up to 10:30 tomorrow morning, so we will check him in for pre-op at 9:00AM. The surgery is about 30 minutes long and then he will be in recovery for 45 minutes to an hour. I expect us to be home by 1:30 or so. I will be sure to post an update when I can.
Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers tomorrow!!
