Keith Rocks!

One might ask why I am posting at midnight. There's no way I can go to bed yet. We just got home from the Keith Urban concert. (No this isn't a picture I took!) Oh my gosh, that boy can play the guitar! Oh my gosh, that boy is hot! Oh my gosh, that boy puts on an AWESOME concert! (I know he's 39, but that's a boy to me!)

Here's the ticket stub to prove I went. It also shows we sat in row FF - which is the very top row at the Coliseum. Yes, the nosebleed section! Believe me, next time Keith comes to town I will be buying tickets the first day, and not several weeks after they go on sale.

Keith did all of his hits, played killer guitar, wandered into the crowd (I wasn't sure he'd make it back out) and kicked ass! Has to be one of the best concerts I've ever been to - and that says a lot! You know how some folks don't sound the same in concert as they do on their CD's? I have to say that Keith does - maybe even better! There was one other singer that I thought was better in concert than his albums - John Denver. He was good on his albums, but had a much stronger voice in concert. I digress...ahhhh, just had "I Told You So" running through my head. I have a feeling it's going to be a long night. It's a good thing I don't have to go to work until 10. It's my Friday to paginate classified.

I guess I should mention the opening act. I know there are a lot of Carrie Underwood fans out there. I have to say, she does have a great voice. BUT, I just don't think she has stage presence! There's just no "oomph" there. Maybe others see it, I just don't. Her hour was about 45 minutes too long for me. Sorry fans!

Think I'll go read for awhile. Or maybe listen to some Keith on my I-pod. Happy trails!

It was a bit expensive, especially considering Garth tickets were $28, but I have to admit it was worth it. He played for just over 2 hours and has some powerful songs! Loved it!

Glad you had a great time. He is really nice to look at. Just don't look at any pictures of him in his younger days, cuz it would totally ruin it for you. He's yummy and that tattoo on his arm is HOT!

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
