Viva la Vida-Second Time!!

Again they put on the best show!! I was skeptical that the Energy Solutions Arena would be any good...but it was a great show. We were very close to the stage this time which made for a completely different show. I am totally addicted to LIVE music. In talking with an old co-worker of mine, he described the feeling of live shows as the "Thread". The thread that bind complete strangers together....I always thought he was just a silly old hippy, but there is some truth to his statement. Sitting in a giant arena filled with people from all over....joining in one common interest. I sat next to the cutest little boy, maybe 10 years old at the most. He was so excited to see his first concert. In front of us, a couple that had also been to the Vegas show. It is a really nice escape from reality for a couple of hours. Too loud to think about all the other thoughts running around in my head, just focused on the show.

I took about 200 pictures and some video too. Here are a few of my super hottie Chris Martin.

NKOTB Rocks!!

Well they still got the "Right Stuff"!! This concert was sheer comedy!! The people were PRICELESS. The stage setup was so cheesy, I laughed for two hours. Natasha Bedingfield opened for them, she has a really strong voice.

They changed at least 25 times throughout the show, had 4 hoochy dancer chicks, and the stage was pure rock and roll. Complete with steam, rising from the floor entrance, and of course FIREWORKS. They played a host of their classic NKOTB tunes and the crowd (including me) was singing right along. They stopped several times and were laughing that they cannot believe how many people still know the words.

Highlights were 1 minute of Donnie Wahlberg shaking his hot butt on giant screen TV, Jordan rising up on stage with the wind, steam and of course his shirt open to expose the beautiful chest that lies beneath.

Pure comedy and a great trip down memory lane.

Halloween Pictures

Here are a few from my work party Trick or Treating. Jr. was sick and having nothing to do with his costume (he was going to be a punkin). More to come.

Halloween....

Halloween is over and November has just begun. Halloween was pretty crappy day for me. Here is the rundown:

• Woke up - late
• Baby woke up with a fever (guess those antibiotics are NOT working AGAIN)
• Katie woke up mad...cuz it was LATE!
• Ran around like a crazed maniac in half of my Halloween costume trying to get all the stuff together for school, babysitter, and trick-or-treating.
• Left half dressed, NO makeup...mad.
• Katie left her coat, had to stop mid driveway to run back (swearing) to get it.
• Finally get on the road to school.
• 8:38am Katie crying because she is late
• Mommy turns around to yell at her....HITS A GARBAGE CAN (yippee)
• Katie crying because mom broke her mirror
• 8:40am arrive at school...jump out to attach wings and horns.
• JR. crying in the car because I am outside and Katie is crying.
• Sit back in the car and.....split the BUTT out of my tights (you have got to be kidding me)
• Rush to the babysitter to find her no where in sight, probably at the school for the parade (hmmm wondered why there were so many cars)
• Unload the baby with her husband who is going over to the parade.
• Rush across the street to my mother's to apply makeup
• Drive like a manic to Harmon's for dry ice (cauldron), crushed ice (office party), new tights, and headache medicine.
• Mom calls...she is taking sick baby back to the Dr.
• 12:00 pm Office party....did not win AGAIN!! Why is it that a guy in tights will always trump a cute costume??
• 12:30 Mom calls...baby had to have two shots of antibiotics
• 1:30 Babysitter calls...Katie is missing.
• 1:45...Katie found.
• 3:00 Office trick-or-treating
• 4:30 start month-end closing....as everyone else leaves.
• 6:00...finally done.
• Pick up sick baby
• Home to ignore the door for hours

Why did I get out of bed? Will post pictures later
