over the weekend....

I had my first Jimmy John's sandwich today. I had a turkey this afternoon. It was so good that I had to go back and get another tonight. Had a friend give me a weird look when they found out it was my first time to eat at Jimmy John's. I never really gave the issue much thought. You have subway, quiznos, jimmy john's, hungry howie's, firehouse, etc. I guess I was happy, so I never explored. I guess today was my exploration day. I would consider today a success. Jimmy John's is good and I'll be visiting there more often.

Had a ball'n day saturday. I spent saturday at Barber Motor Speedway in Leeds, AL. The Honda Superbike Classic was there. I had been one time before and became addicted. I have missed it the past couple years, but made my way back this weekend. I didn't remember how cool it was. I can say that Saturday was one of the best days of my life. Watching the motorcycles flirt with danger, hearing that, and smelling race fuel and burning rubber made the day very memorable. We spent from 8:30 to 5:00 at Barber. You can't get much better than that.

At the grocery store tonight I saw someone carrying their own grocery bag. It's the "conservationist" way to grocery shop. I have seen them before, but never thought about purchasing one. I might end up having to shop this way. It didn't look difficult or painful, and I know that everyone has way too many plastic bags. Now it seems pointless to waste so much plastic to just get your groceries home. I guess it would be a different story if you could use the plastic bags for something else productive.

I'm drinking green tea with peach tea. It's delicious. I'm trying to convert from coffee to green tea. Green tea is good for your skin and it increases your metabolism. I know that coffee is not "bad" for you, but it does cause your body to be more acidic.

I'm going to dig the new "Real World: Hollywood." It's interesting b/c you see these strangers come and live together before meeting. They all have, like everyone else, what people could identify as problems. It will be interesting to see what happens as they live in Hollywood. Will they be able to cope with downfalls in a town where all your dreams come true? Mary Ellis Bunam created "Real World." My hats off to her. She created something that is nothing but money.

Sometimes you try your hardest to plan things where they will work out. This weekend was something that I tried to plan out to a T. It didn't work out the way that I had hoped. Sometimes there are things in life that don't workout the way that you had hoped. You always do the next right thing, stay humble, and keep looking out for others and things will fall into place. Everything worked out just like it was supposed to, so I have to be happy.

Here's to another week...
