  I've neglected the blog this week - not for any other reason - only than I've been really busy. Which in some cases can be a good thing, in this case, it gives my blog more substance and I can recount all the things from this past week. 1) I cant' really remember when the last time was that I blogged but I'm thinking it was around Tuesday -which means on Wednesday was day three in our house, but the ironic thing was we didn't spend any time in there.
Recalling, I left work pretty early and met my mom and Stephen at the house. My mom helped Cassie take down the wall-paper in the kitchen and Stepehen and I loaded carboard boxes and trash in the back of the truck to take to the dump. EXCITING - I know. It was a semi-porductive day getting some of the junk out of the way. Later that afternoon, after Mom and Bubs left, Cassie and I went back to Illinois to see Rags and Janette.
Our purpose there was something a little out of the ordinary as Cassie wanted to go through some of Janette's baby clothes before she sold them in a yard sale. Needless to say, we ended up spending $75 dollars on clothes and I guess what you call equipment. That's all fine and dandy (wow - that's a country term) but there was no need to purchase at this point and juncture cause Cassie's not even carrying a child. Nevertheless, it was better to go home so I could spend some time with Steve before he leaves - I have to be honest with myself and still say that I can't quite talk about him moving away cause I just can't deal with it.
I'm also not afraid to admit that on the way home I found myself wanting to break down on many occasions because I just never thought he would move that far away. 2) Thursday, I interviewed Tubby Smith in Smithland - kinda ironic with the last name and all. Not to toot my own horn, but it was a really good interview from my standpoint. We touched on a variety of subjects...The new recuriting class, Tayshaun Prince being on a team that won the NBA title, the fact that Tubby was named as one of the most influential minorities in sports. It was a poll put out by Sports Illustrated and to Tubby's surprise - he didn't even know of the distinction. So I kinda broke a big story to him. He's a very humble and modest man. I'lll be the first to admit that I have ran his name in the ground as coach of UK. I guess for my passion for Rick Pitino - I couldn't have more hatred for Bendict Rick now. Tubby is a good guy - I'm sure I'll still disagree with a lot of his calls and decisions, but really I don't know if there is a better coach for UK than Tubby. Thursday also marked the second to last day for my photography class at Murray State. Tuesday will be our last one - I'll probably talk about it more as the time approaches.
3) It was a pretty hetic day at the office, I worked diligently to get my Tubby story done. All-in-all I think it turned out pretty well. It was one of my more favorite stories to do. I went home and Cassie and I went to Paduach to run some errands. We went to the mall for a little while and low and behold I ran into Travis Ford, the head coach at Eastern Kentucky University.
Travis is also a former player at UK. So it's been a week of who's who of UK basketball for me. I'm at work right now - Friday night about 8:50 - I'm waiting for some stories to come across the wire and finish pasting up pages so I can enjoy my three day weekend. 4) Sarah Evans will be in concert at Murray State tomorrow night as part of the Freedom Fest in Murray.
That will be fun, I find her music to be very upbeat and plus she's easy on the eyes....very easy on the eyes. Bascially, she's HOT. I do belive that my parents will make another trip down this weekend to help with the house, it's coming along nicely - but - we still have some rooms that need work. The kitchen still needs to be painted and the living room is still far away from being done - as is the bedroom and the two rooms upstairs. I'll enjoy my time off this weekend since I don't have to work on Monday, I've been pretty tired this week and could use the time to recharge my batteries.
