Wasted Away Again in Margaritaville

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to see Jimmy Buffett in concert. When James told me he was going, I jumped on the chance and finally made it happen. So Saturday morning I woke up at 3:30 AM to get dressed and head to James' by our 5 AM departure. We arrived in Frisco around 8:30 with plenty of time to stop at Kroger to buy last minute supplies before heading to Pizza Hut Park for the pre-concert tailgating. I must say that there are some truly die hard fans out there and I learned a lot of lessons on what to do next time. Tiki bars and some form of motorized transportation are a must. Have you ever seen a crusin' cooler? Somehow I managed to get away without a picture of one but it was the most awesome thing I have ever seen. You don't have to worry about your drink getting warm while you are walking around. It is on ice under your butt! We made friends with our tailgating neighbors which made for an even better day. Wow...there were so many great things going on around us that I can't even think of what all I want to tell you about. So, check out the album. Post questions and I will fill you in on the rest of the story. I can tell you that Jimmy was as fantastic in concert as I had always imagined. He is someone who truly loves his job and can you blame him. It is awesome. I can't wait until he returns to the Dallas area (or Houston or San Antonio or anywhere else with in reasonable driving distance!) I will tell you that the funniest event of the day was probably post concert. We were still tailgating waiting for the traffic to die down before we headed to the hotel for the evening and this old, very drunk man drove by on a bicycle. The guy almost ran into a trailer and almost fell off the bike several times as he rode by. This prompted a discussion on whether or not you could get a DUI on a bicycle. After another pass by old drunk guy on bike, we noticed the Frisco police driving slowly in our direction. All of the sudden they stop and jump out of the cruiser and proceed to chase down drunk guy on bike. Apparently you can get a DUI on a bicycle! They didn't actually arrest him but they did make his friends take the bike away from him and take him home. All this time we were still sitting there (wishing we could take pictures) sipping our margaritas and enjoying our own personal viewing of COPS courtesy of the Frisco Police. Needless to say it was a great and the pictures prove it. So...FINS UP!!! Enjoy!Th

Ok, I checked out your album, and I am officially overwhelmed with jealousy.
I have seen JB before (JazzFest baby) but not at a concert of his own. If he would just come home and play I would be so very happy!!
I'm glad you had such a good time - looks like it was a blast.

13 Things to Know Before You Meet Me

So, The Blathering is this weekend and 50 fabulous ladies are going to be converging on my city to take it by storm for 3 days.  I am terrified and excited all at the same time.  I do not know any of these women in real life and most of them I have only meet over the internet in the last couple of months as the attendee information has been posted.  Several have shared 13 things to know about me so I figured I would jump on the bandwagon as well.  Here it goes: I live in Round Rock and work in Austin.  However, I have only lived here for 4 years so I still have no idea where anything is.  I rely on my GPS for that reason.  Please don't laugh at me for this. But I am willing and able to drive around those who need transportation this weekend.  For the same reason listed above, I also have no idea what is really fun to do in Austin.  There are still a lot of tourist-y things I want to do like tour the Capitol and see the bats fly from the ...

Random Thoughts and Observations

I am extremely easily annoyed these days.  It doesn't take much to get under my skin which makes me an unpleasant person to be around.  Knowing this, I've been keeping to myself a lot so I don't just completely go off on someone. I am also more emotional.  I almost cried in a meeting this week when one of the PMs welcomed me back to the office and commented that I looked thrilled to be there.  The comment didn't bother me because it was true.  It just re-emphasized how much I want to be home with Jackson.  And then I did it again the next day driving to work just because I really didn't want to go. The daycare situation is really stressing me out.  We have just over 2 weeks to find someone to watch Jackson while Chris and I are at work since our perfect in-home daycare fell through last week.  I am really not happy about this.  I never wanted to put my kids in daycare but I have no other options.  Nor do I have any idea how we are go...

Why I Hate Dating

I was not a fan of dating before I got married so you can imagine that I am even less of a fan of dating now that I have divorced to add to my status. I never had much luck in the relationship world and being that I am still new to the Austin area, I have found it hard to meet people. So I have been trying the world of online dating via such websites as Match.com, Yahoo Personals, and eHarmony . Granted while I have had some luck in the form of J and James, the majority of my matches have been misses and it has been months since I have had a real connection with any of the guys I have been matched with. I received an email last week that is a prime example of why I hate dating again. Here is that email, word for word, with only personal information removed: your cute and you sound like a very sweet girl, but please dont take me to a musical, lol . im rob, i work graveyard so i dont wake up till like 3 or 4 in the evenings. and i try to be in bed before the sun rises. hit me up...
