Last night I headed over to the Barney’s Warehouse sale and was able to talk myself out of buying a Marc Jacobs (not Marc by Marc Jacobs) skirt. It was so pretty. It had black velvet trim with a bow on top and it was navy with a black lacy overlay. Originally it was $1800 but was marked down to $349 with an extra 20% off. But I decided Eli v. Peyton tickets were more important so I didn’t get it.
I also went out to dinner with my friend Rachel at Cafeteria. I had blackened catfish (surprise) with fried green tomatoes. It was so good. Then we went to Billy’s Bakery and we got cupcakes. I didn’t have mine yet, but Rachel got to try to the fresh chocolate frosting and said it was sweet like Magnolias. I’m sure Crumbs is better, but I love cupcakes!
Braves Update:
It only took two hours and 36 minutes for the Braves to beat the Giants 5-3 last night. Adam’s Army must have been pumped because the Braves first baseman went 4-4 including a two run triple, his first of the season, and three doubles. Chuck James continued to shine allowing only two runs in seven innings and Bob Wickman picked up another save. Please sign him for next year! The Braves finish off their series with the Giants tonight at 7:35 on TBS.
Games to .500: 5
Games behind San Diego Padres: 4
Games behind New York Mets: 19

NASCAR Update:
Kyle Busch thinks his team has a legitimate shot at winning the Cup title this year. I’m so sorry…it’s hard to type when you’re rolling around on the floor laughing. (nascar.com)
Kyle Busch’s current Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Brian Vickers is among some of the celebrities investing in the LA Fame, a new ABA team. Other investors include Nick Lachey, Lachey pal A.J. Discala, and former Oriole, Brady Anderson. (Whatever happened to him? He dated Ashley Judd and that was it.)
Todd Kluever will attempt to make his third cup start in the #06 this weekend. In his two previous starts Kluever has finished 41st and 43rd, so there’s no where to go but up, or 42nd, but hopefully up!
Giants Update:
Tonight is the final preseason game for the Giants. They take on Tom Brady and the rest of the New England Patriots at Giants Stadium in the battle of the GQ quarterbacks. (Ok well neither of them will actually play, but they’ll be battling from the sidelines giving their best posses to the cameras.) The game airs at 7:30 on NBC.
Around Sports:
Former Brave and current Los Angeles Dodger, Greg Maddux, got his 330th win last night moving him into tenth place on the all time wins list.
Apparently, Red Sox pitcher, Josh Beckett is quite the country fan. He has gone out on a few dates with “Finding a Good Man” singer, Danielle Peck and recently spent some time jamming with Joe Nichols. Beckett met up with Joe after a Red Sox loss to the Yankees, while the rest of the Red Sox’s nation got depressed and then probably wicked drunk.
Jesse Palmer, former Giants backup QB and Jeremy Shockey wingman was cut from the 49ers. So I guess he can go back to being Shockey’s wingman. Look out Hoboken!
Around the World:
A bartender received a $1000 tip off of a $26 tab. Cindy Kienow, the bartender, works at Applebees. I knew I should have gone to bartender school instead of college.
Celebrity Tid Bits:
Carolyn Kepcher, aka the blonde woman judge on the Apprentice has been relieved of her duties on the show as well as at Trump National Golf Club in Westchester, NY. Trump’s daughter Ivanka will take over for her on the show. Apparently, the Donald was unhappy with her lack of focus, and most likely the fact that she received any sort of attention. After all, Melania is the only one allowed to get attention, but less than him of course.
Get well wishes go out to Trace Adkins who is recovering from kidney stones.

If you are going to be in Nashville on November 6th, you could be in the audience for the CMAs. Tickets go on sale September 15th and are priced at $150 and $200. I went last year and totally recommend it to anyone thinking about attending.
