The weather this past weekend was perfect. Perfect for me, anyway. Sunny and 60 degrees. If I could afford to live in a place that had that weather year round, I would. Guess I’ll just keep waiting for my Sultan father to pass away and leave his inheritance to me…
Saturday we did some light chores and then made our way to our first MTSU game. I went to school there for 7 years (some more than others) and never made it to a single game. Stacey and I had plans to go to one, but the cable guy was 6 hours late and ruined it. So the MTSU experience is slightly different from the UT one. The most noticeable difference (aside from the 100,000 people) is that they don’t check your bags and they will give you straws. Straws might not seem important, but if you’ve smuggled liquor into a UT game and poured it into your drink, then you know you have no way to stir it. Which means for the next 15 minutes you are doing shots of vodka. And because there are only 200 people at an MTSU game, you can have an entire section to yourselves. We had a blast and we’ve committed to attending at least one of these per year.

Sunday was the Day of the Desk. I bought a new desk to replace the one I bought 10 years ago at Target that had pieces sticking out of it. One day I will be able to afford furniture that is already put together, but until then, I’m stuck with days like this. It took me 8 hours to assemble this thing. I did take a break to go to the grocery store, but I was a zombie by the end of the day. I have scratches and bruises on my hands from scraping them on the sides of the wood while screwing in screws. My eyes were blurry from trying to decipher which part was AA1 and which part was ZZ9. But when I finished, I felt awesome. I mean, look at this thing.
yes, that computer is an antique
The top drawer is a little wonky because I couldn’t figure out which drawer tracks went where and had to screw and unscrew them 6 times. And there is a small chip in the underside of the keyboard holder where I threw my screwdriver and it took out a chunk of wood. But that just adds personality, right?
