It's been a couple of weeks since the last post I made. And it's been busy!

Mainly competition prep for the brat. Lot's'o'shuttlin' to and fro!

Home.
Feed.
Pick up bff.

Pick up from practice.
Drop off bff.
Home.
Homework (for her).
Beer (for me).
Sleep.
Repeat 4 times a week.

And they have another competition in Sacramento tomorrow. It was supposed to be in Bakersfield . . . but whatever. The venue changed back to Sacramento. It's now at the Sacramento Convention Center Complex, about a block down from the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium we were at only a couple of weeks ago. Last time the brat and I went with her bff's parents in a big ass SUV. This time (because I don't want to take my car) we will be driving up in a Scion xB. A tad more fuel efficient. And there are no mountains really to worry about so no need to worry about gettin' in the slow lane for people to pass us.

They're happy because the heater works in it. I've been to lazy to fix my heater in my car. We get cold over here on the left coast, but not so cold where a good jacket can't keep you warm enough. But the brats like being in a toasty enough where I wish I was in shorts and a tank top in a car. Not a pretty picture that.

And seeing as that we'll be leaving early to Sac-town, I've gotta get up early enough to go for my run before taking off. That's a 5am start to my day.

"Why so early," you ask, "if you're leaving at 7am?"

Because I'll be sharing a bathroom with a couple of divas who'll be cranky bitches in the morning of competition. You've obviously never dealt with "twin" divas in a single bathroom home. Don't.

So get up at 5am, get into my gear, jump out the door for a quick 10 minute run, get back home and jump into the shower before the witches wake up. I'll be out of the shower by 5:30 and that will still get the girls in a mood because I didn't get out in time.

So . . . while they're getting ready, I'll be taking a nap. I'd make breakfast, but they don't want a home cooked breakfast. They want McDonald's. As you can guess, this is going to be an bit of of an expensive day. Gas isn't cheap. So I'm looking at a six hour round trip as well. We won't be able to leave the competition grounds until all the awards have been given out. So with any luck, I'll be back home by 10pm or so.

I've already got my Arrogant Bastard: Oaked in the fridge. That is going to be the best tasting beer EVER when I get back home tomorrow night.

Wish me luck.
