I'm a slacker, what can I say?

So remember in my last post I said how work is really crazy right now-yeah that would be why I haven't posted in awhile.  It's been so hectic that there are many days I don't even get on Facebook-not even for a second.  Shocking, I know!  So let me fill you in on what's been going on in our lives over the next few posts.


Halloween weekend Robert and I did a road trip with his parents to the Ole Miss Game.  This picture (take with Emily's fabulous camera) is the ONLY picture that was taken all weekend.  Actually, no that is not true.  It's the only one I care to share.  Let me begin...


The car ride starts off wonderfully, we hit to road at AIS (*ss in seat-a term commonly used in the Dougherty household) and make great time.  I was actually a bit nervous because this was going to be the first trip that it was just Robert and I and his parents- usually Robert's siblings are with us.  So, we're just outside of Birmingham when I decide to show Robert's dad the "hide ya kids, hide ya wife" video on my iPhone.  Apparently the last video that I was watching on there is the Natalie Portman sketch from SNL.  (If you aren't familiar with this video, just Google "Natalie Portman, SNL" I don't take responsibly for the horrible language).  Yeah, so that disclaimer I just gave you...I click on the youtube app and that comes up BLARRING.  I am telling you, I could not have gotten the video to start where it did had I planned it.  Let's just say some lovely words were said and I was called out for horrible language and my poor selection of "music."  Well shoot...good thing I'm already married into the family!!


We get into Oxford Friday afternoon and drive around campus for a little bit before heading to the square to get some dinner.  It was only about 5 when we got to the square so we decide to take a quick look around and then head to Ajax for dinner.  When we started our loop around, Ajax was empty.  By the time we made it back around 30 mins later, there was a good 30 min wait.  But I'm so glad we waited, because the food was delicious!  We're still talking about it weeks later!  After that we head to our lodging for the weekend-a cabin at a state park 30 minutes east of Oxford.


The cabin was actually great.  Sadly it had a nicer TV than Robert and I own, and had cable.  It was on a point of a lake, so the view was spectacular and the park was actually really nice.  We decide to call it a night early since we would have a long day of tailgating the next day.  Oh the next day...  I had noticed while getting ready for bed that the toilet was flushing slowly and a plunger was next to the toilet, and I thought in my head that it probably wasn't a good sign.  So Saturday morning roles around and I'm the 2nd person to get in the shower.  I notice that the toilet is now not flushing at all but I jump in the shower and decide to give it some time and deal with it after.  Well I get the plunger and start plunging, and plunging, and plunging.  It. wasn't. working.  So I go get Robert and see if he has any ideas.  His idea...for me to keep plunging while he takes a picture.  And then to get another one when his dad tries.  Yes, those were the only 2 pictures we actually took that weekend.  We ended up getting it fixed, but certainly wasn't the way we expected to start our morning!


Those would be the highlights of the weekend...it really was a lot of fun, and of course always better when Auburn wins!


Tomorrow I hop on a plane to Phoenix right at the beginning of the AU vs. UGA game.  I have to go out there for work and will be attending yet another NASCAR race (I never thought I would be able to say I've been to 3 different races...Bristol, 'Dega, and Phoenix).  We're hoping to go to atleast one Diner, Drive-in, and Dive location so I should have some good stories soon!  Maybe I won't wait a month to post again...
