Let it be known, I will abandon all responsibilty for free tickets. Especially free tickets to a show I've been wanting to see since I moved back to Vegas. Free is the only way to go.
El Dub hooked me up once again and this time with 4 tickets to see "Mamma Mia!" I brought along 3 of my best gf's and we sang along and danced our way through the show... and I only almost fell asleep once.
It was pretty entertaining and I was impressed at how the writers of the show were able to create an entire storyline out of all those ABBA songs. So, that's what I did yesterday.
PS- about last weekend. In retrospect it was really great. Really great. I got to sleep in, enjoy the 80+ degree weather and spend time with people I love. Saturday I made dinner for the boy and my sis then the boy and I went dancing. I always thought I was a decent dancer until I saw him dance. Now, I'm like... I suck at dancing. But, that will only encourage me to go more!
Saturday the sis and I went on a nice long walk then to brunch, which was really good. Then I drove down to Huntington Beach to spend time with the H's. I've known J since elementary school and BHill has been one of my best friends since high school. And I'm now best friends with their daughter. We hung out at their place then went for a drive to see the Newport Beach Temple. Beautiful! Spending time with them was exactly what I needed and I'm excited to go back and spend more time with them. The best thing I've heard in a long time is that sunday morning baby girl woke up looking for me! Aww!
Sunday I went to ALL 3 hours of church with the sis. That's a rarity for me when I'm outta town. I figure if I have to go to church for 6 hours every week while I'm at home then I get a vacation from church when I'm on vacation. I realize it's not the wisest reasoning... but, whatever. After church we drove out to Redlands and saw the Temple there and the surrounding orchards. Beautiful. Then just for curiousity sake we drove out to Palm Springs. Granted we were there during the SuperBowl but it seems the only people in Palm Springs were middle age, trashy folk and gay guys. Umm... ok.
Anyway, I had to hit the road to get back to Vegas right after we returned so it was a lot of time in the car but it was all worth it. I felt pretty numb my whole drive back with actually felt kind of nice.
In any case, trips to LA are always good.
pps- Baby Canon was borned this week. So, looks like I'll be making a trip to Utah for President's Day weekend because I want to see him! and the boys of course.
ppps- I'm in love with Joe Nichols. The two songs for the week are "Size Matters" and "The Impossible" Check them out.

I went down to see this character... 2 week old Cannon.
I went down to see this character... 2 week old Cannon.
Cannon is the product of Stacy and Erick. Stacy has been my best friend since 1984, 23 years ago, when she moved into the house next door. I'd say she's more family than friend and I'm totally in love with her little fam!
But these characters stole all my attention.
They got it!
And they're just so cool!
And they do clean up well.
But I fear for that poor baby.
Monday morning I woke up to this.
But it does have a magical effect.
Snow is the thing that I love and hate about Utah. I love living outside of "the bubble" but I hate being so far away from these kids and my fam. I'm frightened to admit that more that once the thought that ran through my head was "I could move back here."
At a future date... like, maybe later on this afternoon... I'll take the opportunity to bear my testimony of country music and share my conversion story. But as for now I'll just say that I'm in love with country. All I want to do this summer is go see all my favorite country artists in concert. Who's in?
