Can I just tell you.... I AM SO AMAZINGLY, TRULY, GENUINELY EXCITED!!!
Really, I don't get REALLY excited about much. Day to day stuff just isn't exciting.
Don't get me wrong, I am comfortable in my daily, boring and predictable routine.
Comfortable- VERY
Love it- Not all the time
I have a great job. It really is a good gig. Minimal stress. Casual setting. Great people to work with. As far as jobs go, I have a sweet gig.
BUT- There are the mornings when I wake up and I say out loud "Please...no....not again. I cant do this routine one more time...I cant!"
Then I think really hard.
And then I remember, ITS SATURDAY!
Now, dont think that just because it is saturday, there is anything exciting going on.
Nope. On any given Saturday you can find me cleaning my house. Just so it can stay clean for 3 days. Then it becomes a mess and I do it all over again on Saturday.
Hows that for routine?
BUT- Not this Saturday. Hip Hip Hooray!
I will be in SEATTLE!!
Serious, this little ole Utah girl has wanted to go to Seattle for-EVAR!
The gloomeyness of it. The GREEN. The grunge. And I am positive that Seattle just always smells like coffee. ALWAYS.
Oh man, i am SO EXCITED!
So in this post, I blogged about why im going to Seattle. Remember how I mentioned that we paid 400+% for our symphony tickets?
Well, shortly after I blogged that, I got this email....
Hi,
I read about your unfortunate experience with the symphony tickets on your blog. I just wanted to let you know, in case you didn't already, there is a secret show with Brandi and the Twins on Saturday 11/20 at Neumos in Seattle. Tickets are still available. The show is listed as "The Story Guy and his Band".
.
Hope you can make it.
Roberta
WHA????
How did this chic know to read my blog? Don't get me wrong.....SO GLAD SHE DID!
Againtoday.com is a fan website for Brandi Carlile.
So, yeah....I've been on it a few times.....what of it?
Anyway, the next day I went online to the venue website.
Sure enough "The Story" guy and his band.....
But, there was no bio for them. I get it, is supposed to be a secret show.
But I wanted to make sure!
So I called the venue.
Ring Ring Ring
Them: Neumos
Me: Hi. I have a quick question.
Them: Sure. What is it?
Me: So, Im looking at your website and the shows coming up.
Them: yeah
Me: Well, Im reading the bio's, but there isnt one for "The Story Guy"and his band....
Them: ................
Me: Hello?
Them: Why are you asking?
Me: Well, as I mentioned just now, you have bios for all the other bands, but not this one. What can you tell me about them?
Them: Well, actually, its a secret show.
Me: Secret show? How is it secret if its on your website? ( I knew why it was secret.....I just like to ask alot of questions)
Them: Well, its a band that is pretty popular in Seattle, so they are doing a show only for those loyal, hardcore fans that would know how to find out that they are doing a secret show.
Me: So, you're talking about Brandi Carlile.....Right?
Them:...................
Me: Hello?!
Them: I cant tell you that.
Me: Well, OBVIOUSLY Im one of those fans you speak of since I just asked the secret question about the secret band.....
Them: Per the contract, I cant say the name of the band. BUT, I can tell you this. Get your tickets.
IM SO EXCITED!!!
AND Brandi was on Austin City Limits on Saturday night.
It was like watching someone I know on TV.
I know, I am pathetic.
I am pretty much a stalker.
Wait, no, im not.
I don't know anything that anyone else couldn't know.
Its not like I know the color of her drapes. Or her route to the gym......past the grocery store and next to the library in the small town she lives in.
Sheesh...its not like I know that she likes to eat brown sugar on her cream o wheat with one boiled egg while she reads the paper (local section first)
THAT would be icky.
Funny Grace story (havent done one for a while)
We went to the dentist today.
I knew that she had at least one cavity. So, I wanted to make sure I used my insurance before things changed the beginning of the year. AND, I wanted to make sure we didn't have to deal with any bigger problems later.
I know, good mom, right?
So, she HATES the dentist. She gets scared. But, we have a great one for her. She gets to watch a movie on the 3-D glasses magigado thingy.
AND, she gets laughing gas.
SHE IS HILARIOUS!
All inhibitions out the window. At one point the dentist was giving her a numbing shot. It was pinchy and it hurt.
Grace was saying "Ow! Owie! Stop. Please Stop!"
The dentist said "Im almost done.....5 more seconds...."
Grace YELLS (with the dentists hand in her mouth, but heard VERY clearly) "DONT LIE TO ME LADY! TAKE YOUR EVIL MACHINE OUTTA MY MOUTH!!"
hahahahahahahaha
The dentist looked at me, I just shrugged my shoulders. Thats my girl.
Then, as the dentist was working on her, and she was watching Tom and Jerry, at one point she started laughing and could not stop. The dentist stopped for a second and asked "Whats so funny Grace?"
Grace responds with sticking her pinky finger in the air and giggles "Look how skinny and little my pinky finger is....I wonder how bendy it is...."
Yeah, she was feelin' good.....
We all need a Roberta, don't we?!
