Happy V-Day!

How was your Valentines Day?

I had an unusual valentines. My girlfriends ask me to go to a concert to see Lonestar. Unusual yes, I know, but I have been married for years and I really don't care much for all the hype.

In my eyes V.D. day is a Hallmark commercial and really nothing about love. So, 6 of my girlfriends decided to go to a concert and the hubbies decided to play cards.

We get down to the capital and park. When going in I notice our tickets are second row, center stage....(yea baby).

So we get seated (which I can't stand to be on the end, but like to be second or third from aisle......O.C.D. kinda thing) we get comfy and then the AWESOME show started. This was one of the most awesome shows I have ever, NO EVER, EVER! seen.

Daisy (real name hidden for protection) works for a concert promotion company and she knows everyone, we have great seats. The shows starts and I'm enjoying myself, singing, dancing and forgetting my life for a moment. Then HE sings a song that I'm totally digging. I'm singing and laughing and getting it on, then I have a guy walk up to me and said " Jason would like for you to come back stage" Jason? who is Jason? I don't know a Jason in this band........Well, there is a Jason, I didn't know that they never give out their real names! Most bands do, Right?

Not, all.

I asked that we all get to come backstage or "No Go". No problem he says and hands us all necklace passes....................HOLY SHIT!

Needless to say, I'm a total good girl the whole time, but really enjoy myself. All of us girls get their autographs and get to keep our backstage passes. Had dinner or what you may call dinner, but tons of drinks and had the most AWESOME VALENTINES DAY EVER!

Yes I told hubby and he digs it. He reminded me of the first concert we ever went too, when I got Tommy Lee's autograph and a ask backstage, but of course I was with my soon to be hubby, so I couldn't go....................but funny how he remembers.

I have to say being in my forties I thought I had lost it or on my way of losing it. Goes to show ladies forties is just a number, it's all in how we carry it.

BEST VALENTINE IN MY FORTIES!!!

LADIES WE KICK ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Victoria is Burning!

I'm sending this out to all my Aussie Friends. I hope you and your are safe and sound. I believe this is the saddest thing I have ever heard of in my life.

The last report I've heard was over 700 homes lost and 30 people reported dead and they believe that is a low report of the deceased.

Some of these people actually died in their cars, burned to death. I just worry about our wonderful friends Australia.

Be safe and take care of each other.

I wonder if the Red Cross has set anything up for donations. Something to check into.
