The Bar Scene is Overrated!

I'm sitting here with the Dr. (ZenZen) eating popcorn.
Well, not really, I'm typing, and can't do both!
I'm actually recuperating from our evening out last night!
I did my shopping, Michaels.........
And my favorite independent scrapbookin store!



The Martha Stewart treasures were a real steal, I couldn't pass them up!
Halloween goodness for less than half! SWEET!
The stamps were in the $1.50 bin, except the musical note, but I had a coupon!
I picked up the deskSLASHbookshelf I wanted for the craft room.
It's still in my van!
I'm waiting for Ray to go to work so I can haul it in here piece by piece, put it together, and get the computer moved before he knows what happened!

V & I went out for supper to Tony Roma's, and then went to Rock City for the Tracy Lawrence concert.
Wrong!
I never brought ID!
"I'm over 50, that's BS, I. NEED.ID.TO.GET.INTO.A.BAR?"
V; "No mom, they ID everyone.
They scan your drivers license, then if you get in a fight you never get back in."
Me; "Oh yea, like that'll happen."
We wait outside, while her boyfriend S brings me my ID.
We get in, case the joint, and of course there's no chairs.
It's a bar people!
They've probably sold 1000 tickets, and have seating for not even half!
Anyhoo!
We asked some total strangers if we could sit with them.
We made new friends!
The doors opened at 7:30pm.
Tracy Lawrence came on at 10:00 pm.
When he came out and asked how everyone was, I thought V was gonna pee her pants when I crossed my arms and said; "Tired and cranky!"
So V & I made our way to the stage with all the drunken groupies.
Not a word of a lie!
I wanted to get some pictures.
V; "He's kinda hot for an old guy."
Me; "I just thought he was looking OLD!"
I pull out my camera.
A 7 foot tall guy standing next to me (HONEST!) takes my camera, uses his other arm to swoosh everyone to the side, and takes a whole s$#@load of pictures for me.
Of course, I was grateful!
I didn't want some drunk broad spilling their drink on me!
**PS. His band was scary looking!
I'm talking WWF; yup you heard me!
I was a Stone Cold Steve Austin fan back in the day,
and I blame the Radbourne girls for that....
Thank You very MUCH!
Anyhoo......Tracy Lawrences' bass player....The Undertaker!





















I guess while V & I were standing up at the stage, we missed 3 fights!
And one was girls! GAWD!
We never got back to V's until about midnight.
I don't think I'll do that again!
Too old for that shit!
Gonna stick to the concert venues!
Safer! And they start earlier......need I go on!
But hey.... I bought a CD and a T shirt!

So the girls, V & A & L are going back to Rock City tonight for Pauly D!
Sounds like more of what Rock City's all about, and last night when V asked L what she was wearing tonight (girls will be girls) L said, "I'm gonna get all slutted up for tomorrow night!"
OMG.....I'm waaaaay to old for this!

I got home around 12:30 pm today, and did some laundry, dishes, and cleaned up some of the yard, until the hurricane force winds started up!
I then came in, had cereal for supper, and finished 2 pages of scrapbooking, and did one more!
Hope to do a couple more tomorrow!
Better go, looking forward to my own bed tonight!

Ta ta for now!

It's Remembrance Day

Hope everyone took a moment to remember our veterns!?

My trip yesterday with my peeps was to HC!
I had 9 passengers.
3 weren't out on time and the bus left without them, and one that was crossed off got on the bus!
I didn't have her noon medication!
Because she'd been crossed off the list people!
I was a tad cranky.
They ALL got the lecture about leaving the list alone. There's room at the bottom to put your name if it's full, and because of someone's thoughtlessness, someone went without their lunch pills.
Of course, NO.ONE.DID.IT!
Yoy!

I've got my bag packed to go stay with V and see Tracy Lawrence tomorrow night!

I also spent a some time outside today, cleaning up the willows.

I heard something in the bush.
I saw something in the bush.
I took a picture of something in the bush.
Then I went and got the gun!





See the Wile E. Coyote?
Of course I didn't see him after I got the gun, and he's watching Shadow, who was in LaLa land!
I'm sure my dog has A.D.D. sometimes!


The next 4 cards are what I made at stamp club Tuesday night!




Fairly simple cards, but I like using the sentiments I don't have at home, for the inside and out!
She usually gives us a choice!
This next picture is the cover of my photo album I'm doing of Jason.
The oldest child.






I'm working on 2 pages right now.
We had a lot of 4 and 5 generation pictures taken when he was little.
I've titled it 'generations', but not real happy with it yet!
I'll work on it.
My mom called tonight, and I told her what I was doing, and also asked how to spell some of the Grandmas last names.
She said, "Jason had the most grandparents of anyone I ever knew"!

I've got my Michaels list for tomorrow, and my arsenal of coupons! I'll be calling V, and she'll bring her friend L, and we can all get something at 40% off!
I've got Odorless Mineral Spirits, and Blending Stumps on the list. Thanks Curt!

Oh, before I forget! Michelle Z. has some blog candy. Go check it out!
You've only got until tomorrow!

I've found a few new blogs I haven't been to before, some had newsletters to subscribe to, but some I could follow!

I also wanted to tell you that I'm reading the latest Jack Reacher novel!
Now there's a guy I could go for, if he was real!
Love those books!
A tad gruesome, but when Lee Child has a new one coming out, I just e-mail my Reacher Report to my librarian!
His brother Andrew Grant is no slouch either. I keep e-mailing a contest with 'I Wanna Die Twice' in the subject line, hoping I'll win his next novel. I'm such a dork!
I'll let you know how that goes! hahaha

Better go, need my beauty sleep so I can keep up with those youngsters tomorrow night!

Ta ta for now!
