Kenny here I come again!


It's official - I going to the Kenny concert in Tampa. I attended last year in LAWN "seats" and vowed to never return to the Ford Amphitheatre. But, as time went on I just couldn't resist. Our seats are not as good as the Atlanta seats (or as expensive) but sometimes its all about the experience. I plan to get there early enough for some tailgating. I can't wait!!!!!

Reason for my uncompleted list!


It's this a great picture? My neighbor and friend Marilyn invited some ladies over last night to watch the very first Sex and the City edisode. She got the complete series in this beautiful pink case (so girly) for her birthday this year from her hubby (isn't he thoughtful). My Sex and the City watching does not go back that far (again, post baby decade). It was really neat to see how it all began. Funny thing - we started watching around 7 and I got home at 1:30 a.m. and we only watched 2 episodes. It's amazing how chatty girls can be. We had a great time and great conversation. Thanks Marilyn!

The Saturday Legend

It's Saturday and once again my motivation level is around zero. I always have the best of plans about all things I need to accomplish. Well, today is no exception. Let's see where I am so far.

Saturday TO DO List
1. Straighten up clutter around the house
2. Do Laundry
3. Finish ironing - Halfway there
4. Pay bills
5. Bath the dog
6. Clean the house, make it smell really good
7. Relax - Done

I am sitting here at 12:45 still in my PJ's. I think #7 can definitely be marked as complete.

Have you seem the movie Forces of Nature? I watched it this morning while completing #7 and working on #3. I think I will move this to one of my all time favs list. It is from 1999 and stars Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock (I just love her - so witty). Well, today was my first time watching it since it fell in the post baby decade. I laughed out loud.

Happy Saturday. Now I'm off to complete (start on) my list!!

Addictions


I'm not really sure who out there really reads my blog entries. (I don't get many comments - hint! hint!) but if you read this and you know me at all - You know I LOVE Diet Coke! I will say it again for emphasis. I LOVE Diet Coke!!

I read this today on a new blog that I am stalking. I think I failed the test.

Do you use caffeine to facilitate a physical activity (for example: waking up, exercising, having a bowel movement, concentrating)? Yes - definitely waking up - I have it with my first steps out of bed - sad I know. The others not so much.

Do you have to have Diet Coke in the morning? Yes, I think we have established that. Can you substitute hot water with lemon? Are you nuts? NO!

Do you crash or have to have Diet Coke in the afternoon/early evenings? Absolutely!

Do you grow irritable, have headaches, feel disembodied if you miss your Diet Coke fix? Uh? Yeah.

Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night and waking feeling refreshed? I fall asleep almost instantly but waking up refreshed - that's a problem.

Do you need Diet Coke to heighten the effects of other substances, e.g., alcohol, sugar? Maybe, It does seem to heighten the effects of everything in my life.

Do you feel your social routines would suffer without Diet Coke use? Yes, I don't even know who I would be without it. Would my fellow co-workers/addicts still befriend me?

I you answered yes to 2 or more of these, you too, need to examine your relationship with Diet Coke. If you want to.

I will take these results into consideration. And, maybe wean myself.

Sugarland and Kenny Chesney

Jennifer Neetles from Sugarland made a surprise appearance at the Kenny Chesney concert. I decided to take a break from standing on my chair and take a seat during her performance. (2 hours of standing on a folding chair will do that to you). I have regretted not getting a video or at least a picture.
I found this on YouTube from the Atlanta concert and wanted to share.

She is a lucky woman. Oh, to be that close - sweaty body and all.

My Hubby is 40!

O.K. I definitely get the slacker award on the whole blog thing. We celebrated Bobby's birthday weeks ago and I'm just now doing the blog.


Anyway -
We had a great time.

We spent his actual birthday weekend at Long Boat Key with his sister, Mary, and her kids.







We had his birthday dinner at Mar Vista, my fav! It has a built in babysitter - the dock.

The next weekend, I actually pulled off a surprise party. At least he will never admit it if he figured it all out.
