Countdown to George



Later this afternoon, we'll head on over to PNC Arts Center to see this handsome cowboy, country music's George Strait. Country music's Blake Shelton will open around 8pm and in less than 10 hours, around 9pm, George will take the stage and I cannot wait! I was never a big country music fan before I met Vic but I did like a few, Alan Jackson, Travis Tritt and George Strait. After tonight, I will have seen all 3 in concert. (Believe it or not, this is just as big for me as seeing KISS in concert for the first time!)

We've had hella rain this morning and thunderstorms are supposed to pass through around rush hour. This is an outdoor concert! And they don't cancel for the weather because the stage and some of the seating is underneath a roof and partially enclosed. We have lawn tickets. But, I've got my rain poncho and rubber garden boots at the ready, so bring it on!

Only thing I hate about concerts are the slutty women (and girls) and there are more than enough at any concert (some beautiful, some not, some sober, many not). You would not believe how many times women walk up to Vic and hit on him with me standing or sitting right there next to him! (Most of the time he has his arm around me or we're holding hands too ~ TACKY! I know, right?!)

Countdown to the NY Book Festival and Gettysburg officially begins after tonight!

HA HA!! You gotta love the PNC sluts. LOL They even go to the Beach Boys Concerts.

Have fun tonight. The thunderstorms are supposed to be wicked today. Hopefully it will all be cleared out by the time the show starts.

Hope you had a great time!
Sounds like a lot of fun (Sans the clueless women!)

I'm don't lean towards Country either, but, I certainly appreciate it and have been to my share of concerts, my all time favorite being Johnny Cash at the Grand Ole Oprey when I was 10. That was definitely worth writing home about!
Mandy, they are at every concert there! Even the Irish, German & Polish festivals, lol! Thunderstorms stayed to our south but we did get drizzled on throughout but not enough to ruin it.

Holli, he was awesome! FRONT ROW?! It's probably a good thing I wasn't that close ~ he was smiling that sexy smile at all the ladies in front and had he done that to me, Lord knows what I may have done in response! LOL

Z&T, it was a great time! I didn't start leaning fully (more or less) towards country until about 5 years ago - there's so much variety & people to chose from now. Johnny Cash at The Grand Old Oprey must have been an amazing experience! What incredible memories for you!

I forgot to add in the post, I've loved Loretta Lynn for many many years too, along with George Strait, Alan Jackson and Travis Tritt, before really liking country music as a whole and I've now seen all 4 of them live in concert! I'm very happy about that.

Our friends, whose little boy passed away nearly a year ago went with us last night and it was so good seeing them and spending time with them. (They haven't been out much since T passed away).

Happy the concert was so fun! I've always had a little crush on George!
That man is aging WELL! I've had a little crush on him the past few years too!

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

A Walk Through The (Dis)Enchanted Forrest (Halloween Party Post)

Welcome & thank you for visiting my post! For more Halloween fun today & throughout the weekend, visit A Fanciful Twist .

(Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun...

Not Exactly Music To My Ears and Acceptance

Went to my 'every 6 weeks' follow-up doctor's appointment with my Rheumologist yesterday morning. Apparently my heart palpitations/racing (not often, though enough to be noticeable), vision issues (blurriness and discomfort) and muscle cramps (too often & not dehydration) are "disease progression." Not exactly music to my ears I can tell you that much. We discussed my pain & swelling levels (back on the rise through the last 2 iv treatments) and agreed that my iv med should be increased from 400mg every 8 weeks to 500mg every 8 weeks. (This brings me closer to the area of 800mg, which Dr. A feels would be the max dose for me, and the fact that I'm getting closer to that mark scares me). One good thing to note, my blood pressure was "normal" for (at least) the 3rd follow-up in row and without meds, so at least that's one less thing for me to worry about (though it's like a needle in a hay stack really). I'm always on the verge ...
