"Cackalacky"

"Cackalacky" refers to only North Carolina. NORTH Carolina. North. The Carolina north of South Carolina.

Person1: "Yo dawg, Souf Cackalacky is da SHIT!"
Person2: "I'm sorry, but I am unfamiliar with that which you are speaking, because Cackalacky refers exclusively to the Carolina that borders Virginia."

We went to the Kenny Chesney concert last night. Pat Green opened and then Sugarland played before Kenny came out. Cathy wore "irresponsible" shoes (flip-flops) that gave her a blister as we were walking from the parking lot. BAD MOVE. The place that the concert was held was VERY similar to DTE Energy Center in Michigan. We had really good seats, we paid more to not sit on the lawn. It was super hot and we were both REALLY thirsty, but we couldn't bring ourselves to pay $4.00 for water or $6.00 for soda.

We used the above word "Cackalacky" because when Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland came out to start their set, she said, "It's good to be here in Raleigh, North Cackalacky." Cathy didn't notice it until Steve played back the video he took of the opening, but Steve definitely noticed it.

The concert was excellent... it's the last bit of entertainment that we're going to have for quite some time. With two house payments and only two more pay checks from MI (Cathy is paid from Lincoln until Septembet)... the time is ticking away to where we're going to be living check to check. Especially since Cathy took quite a pay cut to come teach in NC.

Steve has been enjoying the carpooling. He only drove the Beast to work ONE day last week. In typical Steve fashion, he has an Excel spreadsheet of the data so everyone is driving the same amount and everyone is paying the same for gas. Anyway, he's happy and enjoying the ride into work and back with Christy and Beth.

We have both realized that we're not young anymore, but we're okay with that. We'd rather stay home and watch television or read a book than go out and drink. Last night we didn't get home until after midnight and we were both DEAD. We joked about how tired we were. Cathy commented about how so many at the concert were going to be going to the bar after, and she just can't picture it anymore. There was a time in her past when she probably would have been up for going out... midnight was still early to her! Not anymore... we're done with that and glad!!

We didn't do much today (Saturday)... Steve took a nap earlier in the day, which only made him crankier. He's AWFUL when he takes a nap. If you think he's cranky before a nap, you should see him after a nap. The sleep cycle makes him VERY moody and he's oh-so-pleasant to be around (lol). Cathy has her moments too, but for the most part, she just wakes up disoriented. She isn't cranky and bitchy like Steve is (yes... this is Cathy writing this). HAHAHA.

Well... enough for now. We're sure there will be something more to write this week... or not...

:)
Steve and Cat
