And today was supposed to be bad?!?
It was an awesome day!!!
The bad phone call I expected from a parent never came, I got to play games with my 3rd and 4th period kids, my 5th period collaborative math kids are mostly passing (4 outta 5 ain't bad!!!) and my next year's group is dwindling by the minute!
Carter helped picked up after the art project at the daycare.
Andy is 20/20 in one eye, 20/30 in the other and both eyes are healthy.
Does it get better?!?
Oh yes!
The Kenny Chesney 2007 Flip Flop Summer Tour hit tonight!
Kelsey came up (woo hoo!) and we went to dinner. We went to Chili's but decided we weren't waiting and went to Cazador's (that's probably the worst thing that happened all day!!!). We filled up on chips, queso, salsa and girl talk. Then we ventured to Wells Fargo, where there was the "Sexy Tractor" declaring that Kenny was in town!
Pat Green opened, and it was wonderful. He sings this "Baby Doll" song that was huge when I was pregnant, and I remember sitting at stop lights, 8 months pregnant and emotional, crying over the lyrics!
Then Sugarland came out, with there weird carnival vibe, but it was awesome! I always think of Mackenzie when I hear them! They were fun, and crazy, and totally deep-south! They sing "Twice the Speed of Life," and the chorus says something about if she's half as wild and free as I am, then I don't want to miss a single night. That made me misty also.
Then came Kenny, with the pirate theme! Hot! It was loud, wild, and fun! We belted out songs like we were "Big Stars" (ahh cha cha) and danced the entire time. His opening song was "Beer in Mexico," which is the song that has made me decide I'm spending my 30th birthday in Mexico (amid my upcoming mid-life crisis!!). He also had the little girl song - "she smiles back at him, holding that teddy bear ... blue eyes and mounds of curls ... and there goes his life ..." I know, I'm a mess. And then there was the tractor song, that I can never handle calmly!
It was, as always, a fantastic time! It was fabulous to get to spend an evening with my sista and have a ball!
Who's scare of superstitions, anyway?!?
At the Cazador, we had great food and got caught up on everything. Per usual, we fought about the check, but settled it over the gum balls on the way out. We totally scored: we got 4, instead of the norm 2, for a quarter! That pretty much set my tone for the night!!!
Kelly & Kelsey - Playboys of the Southwest ;)
Opener Pat Green
My favorite Pat Green song - Baby Doll
When you close your eyes, you hear the music playing
You can see her dancing underneath the spotlight.
When she was a younger girl - a pretty heart in a tainted world
Not sure who you wanna be
Your daddy's little drama queen
I know that when you find yourself
You'll be more than just a baby doll.
Sugarland, who I love!
My favorite Sugarland song is rough ...
#1 - Baby Girl
"Remember me in ribbons and pearls.
I still love you more than anything in the world,
Love, your Baby Girl."
I cry every time!
And #2 - Speed of Life
"Now our oldest girl is almost grown,
And she's got a boyfriend of her own.
I heard her sneakin' out with him last night
And if she's anything like me
She's desperate to be wild and free ..."
And my boyfriend, with short-man's disease, is still tops on the list!
There really are too many to even start with, but I do love the one about the
"Juggling, struggling, closing big deal. Walking backwards in high heels ..." and
"Every not and then, I'm right up on the edge, dangling my toes out over the edge. I just thank God you're here ..." and
"Sun-tanned toes, tickling the sand ..." and
"Want a towel on a chair in the sand by the sea, Wanna look thru my shades and see you there with me ..." and
"With our rock and roll t-shirts and our typically bad attitude ..." and
"He didn't reach around for the whiskey, didn't pour me a beer, his blue kinda went misty, said 'You can't find that here'..."
but my absolute favorite, makes me jump and scream and yell every word to is the dumbest song on the planet .. and I love it!
"She thinks my tractor's sexy , it really turns her on
She's always staring at me , while I'm chuggin along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy "
Go ... go buy your Flip Flop Summer Concert tickets!
I'll go with you!!!
