I feel a bit overwhelmed at the moment. There is just so much to do; I don’t even know where to begin. And what do I do when I feel like I’m drowning? Ignore everything and blog! Because if I just pretend hard enough then it will all go away…
I’m allowing myself 10 minutes to just process and then I’m jumping right back into, I promise. And really, thinking about it I realize the only reason I feel this way is because I don’t have a list. I’m not sure why I don’t have a list today. This is usually the very first thing I do - open my drawer and pull out a Post- it (neon colors are my favorite) and start listing away. By the afternoon I usually have several stuck in various places on my desk or my computer monitor. And I copy them over too because I like starting with a clean list. So, 10 minutes to process and then I’m making a list and then I’m jumping right back into it.
I had a wonderfully fantastic weekend. Saturday was pretty low-key. I ran a couple of errands with the girls. We weren’t out too long though because it was so hot and I felt bad about dragging the baby in and out and putting her back into a hot car. It was miserable! I felt like being out and just doing something though; we needed a change of environment. So we hooked up with my Mom and sisters and spend the rest of the day hanging out with them. That’s always fun.
Sunday I headed off for some girl time! Met up with some friends to see the NKOTB and Backstreet Boys concert. It was so much fun! NKOTB was actually my very first concert – almost 20 years ago. Geez, that makes me feel old! It was just as good this time around. They really do put on a good show – high energy and very entertaining. And of course, it doesn’t hurt that they are all attractive. But I will admit that I had to laugh at some of their costumes. I know they have people that handle that but….ohhhhh, it was so not doing it for me. First of all, I don’t think men should wear hooker boots. You know what I’m talking about – the tight, knee high boots that should belong specifically to the female gender. Unless you’re a jockey, and then it’s okay. I also am just not a big fan of men wearing sparkly shirts. Or sparkly anything really. Even as a grown woman I feel like I have to be careful about the amount of bedazzled attire I can get away with…anyone over the age of 15 should be careful about that. In their last set they even wore sparkly basketball jerseys! Oh my goodness, I was cracking up. Of course, that’s just me. I’ve always been attracted to manly men. I like rough and tough, which is probably why I’ve always liked country boys. And it just doesn’t scream tough to be wearing a glittery belt…
But I think I was in the minority because there were women going crazy. It was so much fun to watch – the concert, the fans…it was all one big show for me. And really, most the women were pretty tame. There were a few who were flinging around underwear…which was interesting since it was apparent that the underwear they had in their hands could not fit onto their bodies. And doesn’t that kinda defeat the purpose of flinging underwear in the first place? I thought the whole point of something like that being sexy was the thought that you slipped off your panties and were handing them over – that they were fresh off your body. It seems like something is lost when they come straight out of the WalMart bag…
I did have a super great time. And we had awesome, awesome seats – second row! Afterwards we grabbed some food and headed back to our room. I stayed up all night talking with Brina – such a great conversation. I love connecting and sharing with people I care about. I think the world of her so it was nice to have that time together. I’m not so sure Stephanie and Autumn appreciated that we kept them up though. I am so damn loud. I tried to remember to be quiet but that’s a special challenge for me, especially if I’m laughing. And Brina made me laugh a lot.
My pictures of the concert were all crappy because I just took my phone so I won't post those. They really aren't worth lookig at...but here are a few recaps from the weekend….good times!
