i caught you a delicious bass

i have no idea why all these Napoleon Dynamite phrases keep coming to me lately. but i just felt like writing that one.
anyhow...

the child and i arrived home a while ago from the concert. maybe a half hour or so. ya, about 12 ish. it was so cool. it was Chris Isaak opening for Stevie Nicks. something must have gone wrong to delay stevies' show, because chris I played for well over two freakin hours...but he wasn't bad. i actually enjoyed most of it. and i am not really familiar with his music. but i liked it. of course my daughter despised it...all of it...him and stevie. she did really well for a long time...but i could tell she was miserable...and she of course did complain. but i could tell, she was really trying not to. i appreciated that.

i also appreciated the tickets! i met "Jlee" today , and she gave me the tickets. we talked for a little while. she is sooo nice. (and i'm not just saying that cuz she'll read it. she really is).

so then, i did manage to find my way TO Dallas..the first time without getting lost...which was a miracle. BUT, the bad thing was...i was too early, so i drove around...downtown dallas...hell ya, i got lost!... but i found where i was going...and then i found my way home without a problem. but that was the first time...to pick up the tix. THEN came the REAL test. well... on the way there...to the concert , it wasn't bad. i had directions, and it was almost right where i had already gone earlier, just a little bit further. so we got there ok. BUT....when we left.... i realized... I CAN"T SEE AT NIGHT! OMG! first, i couldn't find the car in the parking lot.... the kid said press the button on the keychain...so i pressed the panic button!... she called me retarded. she meant the one to make the lights go on... not the one that would make everyone look at us!!!! but hey...it worked, and i wouldn't have thought of it. i'd probably still be out there looking for the damn car. ok... so, we obviously, found he car... btw....we left a bit before the show was over cuz hubby called and said we were gonna hit a bad storm on the way home....plus, i didn't want to end up road ragin with someone. you know me and traffic jams don't mix well. so we get rollin on down the road. and it's pretty smooth sailin...for a while...until...dum dum dum.... i realize something... i cannot see shit!!! my head hurt...not real bad, just achey, but irritating, and i couldn't freakin see. my eyes hurt and they were all blurry. and it was dark, and started sprinkling a little, and my windshield wipers suck, so that only made it worse....which in turn...YEP you guessed it...caused me to miss my turn on the highway...and i got lost. well...not technically lost lost. i just had to take the long way home. and it sucked. because it had been so long since i went that way. and i couldn't see five feet in front of me. it just sucked.
then the rain got worse...not terrible, just enough to blind me even more, due to my shitty wipers!!! and then the lightening started. it was not fun. oh but the girl enjoyed it...she SLEPT almost all the way home. oh to be young again.
so anyhow....we finally got home. i swear we ended up going thirty miles out of the way because of my night blindness. terrific. note to self...get your damn glasses!
soooo. we got home. still not a lot of rain...we got lucky. but soon as we let the dogs out and back in...the sky opened up! it's comin down pretty good still. i shouldn't even be on here, cuz of the lightening. (funny...soon as i hit that period...a big ole crash of thunder ...with of course a big flash of lightning hit...scary. i better get offa heah, and finish up tomorrow.
until then...
thanks again jlee!!! it was great to meet you, and so nice for the tickets. and really the kid enjoyed the show more than she wants to admit! she can't not smile when she says how "bad" it was. she had a good time. we don't really do a whole lot a lone together. so thanks!
ok, i gotta get off here before i get zapped.
