(CRAP! i just went to the link that i had right here...and i don't know if any of you went there...i hope NOT, cuz i just went, so i could hear ND say "i caught you a delicious bass".. BUT when i got there... it was nekkid women and stuff!... so, i obviously deleted the link! google your own ND quotes, and the end result will be on you! LOL)
anyhow... back to last evenings events, etc .....
again, the concert was very good. i had a great time. the weather held out even...until on the way home. and even that wasn't bad until after we got home. so that was even better.
and like i said before... i had forgot, but remembered, the hard way... WHY i DO NOT drive at night anymore ! i guess the excitement of actually doing something grown up, and for ME, got in the way of the reality of the fact.. THAT my night vision is just not what it once was. (how could i forget THAT?) by the time i remembered... it was too late...i was on the highway, blind, and had missed my exit. i was afraid to turn around to go back for it..because there's like four different highways right there... i may have ended up in freakin arkansas if i turned back!!! so... i just stayed where i was. i knew it would get me home... but i had that constant "i'm going the wrong way" feeling" for a looong time. i HATE that! i think it's that feeling that makes the whole driving thing worse than the getting lost part. but like y'all know..we did get home. and... everything was fine.
it was pretty weird to come home and NOT have hubby here. it's usually he who goes to the concerts with the girl, and I stay home, etc... but he stayed at his friends last night, so when we got home.. it was just the animals waiting for us. it has been quite a long time since he has been gone for even one night. it just felt weird. ( so, i had my girl sleep with me!) LOL.
ok... anyhow. after we had been there for a while, chris I. had been playing for a while... my girl says all grouchy... there is NO ONE under 30 years old here!!!! so... i started looking around. now, we were on a shower curtain on this huge lawn right...(i brought a little folding stadium seat thing for back support.... so anyhow, i look all around... and i tell her, i bet ya i can find people under TWENTY! so i start to notice... oh crap... it really is a bunch of "old people". hah. so i look harder... and i start to notice some kids... and i point them out to her... i say "under twenty!"... she says... he's like FIVE, that doesn't count!" LOL... so i look some more... under twenty! MOM, she's like 8! she HAD to come!!! hmmmmmmm. okaaaaayyyy.... then i notice a group of three "hippies" not far from us.... maybe in their late teens early twenties.... i say... under thirty!!!! she says... "hmmmmmmmmmmm". but not in a good way. just a sarcastic , oh great kinda way. LOL. so we sorta went back and forth with that for a while... but really... the majority of the audience really was over thirty!... or under ten! poor kid.
then later... she's like "what's "that smell"????? hmmmm.... well, uhhhh. "POT." yep. she got her first close encounter with pot smokers.... in a crowd of people that are supposed to be the ones that tell her NOT to do such things!!!! she also, mentioned the fact that the overpowering smell of alcohol was going to make her puke! and she was right. we were outside...in a large area... and it really did smell bad of beer. (when someone doesn't drink, that smell is twice as strong...kinda like a non-smoker with a smoker...it's just nauseating sometimes).
so... movin on... j lee showed up ... and oddly enough, ended up sitting about ten feet from us! i wasn't sure that it was her...cuz it was dark, and i had only seen her in person one time that day... but, i saw the light on her phone, and soon i got a text message. i called her back... but i think either she couldn't hear when she got it, or she missed it, cuz she didn't talk...so i threw a empty water bottle at her! not hard!!! she looked over, and saw me. it was funny, that she unknowingly sat right there, with her peeps. so me and the kid moved over and sat with them for the rest of the time we were there. it was kinda loud, and hard to really talk much, but good to have some adult conversation of sorts...since my child was being a grouch. she was soooo ready to leave. but really.. she did good. she allowed me to enjoy myself...most of the time.
anyhow. it was a good time. and oldy mentioned that i probably wouldn't like ANY concert. because of my physical stuff...anxiety/headaches... bitchiness etc! but, she was only half right. i did like it. and in November, i took hubby to see Pat Green in concert. we both have loved him for years. he does country, and i thought it would be a mellow, older crowd, and would be cool etc. well, man. that concert was sooooo loud, i could barely stand it! i had to go outside several times to smoke, because i had such a bad migraine. he put on a great show, and we liked it. but it was just too loud. it was as loud or louder than most of the screamin emo concerts i've gone to with my girl. but the stevie concert last night, it was really just nice. kinda hippie-fied. layin back on the grass under the night sky.... watching a bunch of "old people" actin all funky. it was funny. it was fun. i'm glad we went. i'm glad we were able to go. i coulda done without the night blindness, and long way home etc... but all in all.... great time!!!!
now... it's back to reality.... it's grocery day. ugh. i do not wanna...but we are once again down to nuthin! i hate it when that happens!
oh that just reminded me..... check out this pic... i need to find this person.... to do my cleaning and shopping for me... if you know where i can find this person.... let me know... i will pay well! LOL
have a good day y'all!!!
mo latah, perhaps.

Hey, my floor needs scrubbing! :-)
I so enjoy reading your posts, and I am envious of you attending this concert. If I could choose to be reincarnated, I'd want to come back as Stevie Nix! I have night blindness too, so sure can commiserate, it's an, err.."night-mare" LOL, but aren't you glad you went before you thought about it. Sounds like you had an awesome evening! Like you, crowds and loud send me running, delighted this proved to be worth it!
ya josie 2 .. so does mine!!!! LOL
glad you like to visit. i have been wondering who the mysterious "newcomer" was. :))
reincarnation eh? stevie? hmmm. i would LOVE to have her talent, that's for sure. not sure i'd wanna BE her though. i don't think i would actually want to BE anyone else. i have a hard enough time living the life i have! maybe i would come back as a dog ! or a fish!!! NO..not a fish. fish have it pretty rough. perhaps, a cat? ahhhh , yes... i would come back as one of my sisters cats!!!! they are spoiled rotten little brat cats!
and yes the night-blindness.... ugh. a night-mare indeed! it is a very good thing that i didn't think about it before leaving. i honestly might not have gone. and i really am glad i went. the whole experience, just - i don't know. made me feel good. i even cleaned my house today. i mean like the cleaning fairies came! (of course not the cleaning fairies, that i would have liked, but still ...)
so, ya... it was WELL worth it!!!
sorry you missed it.
I've always thought the life of a cat was the best life around too! :-) Glad the concert perked up your spirits and motivated you into a little cleaning (sure it wasn't that picture that did the spirit lifting? hehe) Now maybe I'll get dressed here and do some of my own. How can one person make such a mess of things?
Hey send that dude over to my house too! ha
I can relate to what you are saying about last night. Soooo laid back. I love that kind of atmosphere. I did not feel anxious in the least.
*maybe I inhaled some of that pot I smelled too...lol
i don't know josie...but back in the day...when i lived alone...my house was always spotless. well...okay, not always. but most of the time. if i wasn't drinking a lot or working a lot. yep...there was a time that i actually did both.
but now...well, i don't drink, i don't work, and well, i don't clean all that much either.
that pretty much sucks.
did you accomplish anything today?
and JLEE.... perhaps it was the secondahand pot inhalhation.... cuz this really was the first concert of many ...well...all..that i have gone to that i did not have an anxiety issue. slight headache, yes...but no anxiety...none. woo hoo. perhaps i oughtta take up... oh nevermind. :))
