Holy Crap I Can't Handle Stuff Like This Before 8:30 A.M.

Dudes we have to take a break from the HTDTYSAKW series because it's only 8:30 in the morning, and I have already overcome a crisis.

Exhibit A:

A newly released from life cockroach.

Exhibit B:

Cockroach killing assistant.

Now let's really talk about what happened.

7:30 A.M. I stopped at Starbucks on the way to work to get some coffee because I'm out of half and half at home...clearly a good reason to hit up the Bucks.

7:50 A.M. I sit down at my desk and turn on my computer. Check the work e-mail. Check the personal e-mail. Open Blogger to check my favorite blogs.

8:05 A.M. The co-workers start to come in. Lots of movement. Papers shuffling. Talking amongst ourselves.

8:07 A.M. Hairy-legged cockroach makes it's first appearance on the bookcase near my desk.

8:07:30 A.M. I zero in on said hairy-legged cockroach. Drag Tiffany over to look at the cockroach with me. Feeling of disgust and horror consume my thoughts.

8:08 A.M. Try to convince Tiffany to kill the cockroach.

8:15 A.M. Tiffany and Stacy leave me to conquer cockroach alone.

8:15 A.M. to 8:25 A.M. Played out worst case senarios in my head of cockroach flying in my face, crawling on me, just walking around on its spindly legs. I shudder.

8:25:30 A.M. Cough. Almost throw up. Pace around in a circle.

8:27 A.M. Get pissed off at said spindly legged cochroach. Find the Raid.

8:28 A.M. Use Raid to end cockroach's life.

8:30 A.M. Crisis over.

If the cockroach were still here to tell us his side of the story, I'm sure he would have a good reason for being inside my office crawling on the bookcase near my desk.

But I didn't give him a chance to speak. I just sprayed that Raid until there was a thick sheen on the cockroach's legs and everything in that general area smells of cochroach killing spray.

That having been said, the can of Raid will stay at my desk in case others come to mourn the death of their fallen brethren.

Speak Now meets The Outsiders

First thing's first. I got to work and had to make a stop in the restroom. As I swung open the door, a cockroach fell from the sky and almost got in my hair. Not cool. Totally screamed like a little girl. The entire office heard me.

Now that we got that out of the way. TAYLOR SWIFT AND NEEDTOBREATHE TICKETS GO ON SALE TODAY! And I am totally going. It will be the best concert ever. Let's just pray that she doesn't toss her hair too much or make weird flicky hand gestures because it will take away from her great voice and songs.

While I'm super excited to see T. Swift, I am even more excited to see Needtobreathe again. They came to Little Rock this past summer, and 700+ people crammed into the Rev Room to see them. And it was sweaty and hot and AMAZING! Best songs. Best voices. Best everything. And this is not an exaggeration.

Here is a ditty from each of them. Let's start with the opening act Needtobreathe.

"Washed by the Water" by Needtobreathe.



"Back to December" by Taylor Swift.

So now the purchase has been made...I will be going to see Taylor Swift and Needtobreathe on October 4 at 7 P.M. The greatest day...minus the cockroach.
