Concert Fever.

I've got it.
I've got it real bad.

It's really one of the best escapes.
There is nothing like your mind clearing of everything except for that moment...and the music.
Do you know what I mean?
For at least 2 to 3 hours you just forget about the stress, drama, or whatever is troubling you and it's amazing. Gives you chills and such a rush. Surely I'm not the only one who is impacted this much by music, let alone live music.

Music is my drug.
And I'm ready for my next hit.

There are so many concerts being announced and I am dying to just buy tickets to all. of. them!
I'm going to try to make it to as many as I can.

Here's my concert "wish list" for this year, in no particular order:
subject to change (& by "change" I mean "have more added to it")
Fall Out Boy & Paramore
Luke Bryan w/ Cole Swindell
Def Leppard and KISS
Linkin Park, 30 Seconds to Mars, AFI
Framing Hanley
Panic! At The Disco
Jason Aldean w/ Florida Georgia Line & Tyler Farr
Journey & Steve Miller Band
The Backstreet Boys
George Strait and Sheryl Crow

& I wouldn't mind maybe seeing...
One Republic
Brad Paisley
Alabama
Willie Nelson & Allison Krauss
Queen (w. Adam Lambert)
Dave Matthews Band
Alabama


There are some more that I wouldn't mind seeing but I'm not looking at Ticketmaster at the moment & so my mind is a little blank. :)

So, yeah.
There you have it.
There are some that I prefer more than others. Shows I'm convinced I need to go to.
So, we'll just see how it goes.

I have 3 planned for sure already. 2 soon and 1 in October. lol
I'm ready to add more to the plans!

Any of y'all have any concerts that you'd like to go to or are planning to go to??

Lovinsss!

P.s. Sorry it's been so long. I miss y'all!♥

Happy St. Patty's Day & Lazy Sunday!

Whew! What a weekend!
I'm surprised I'm not more exhausted than I am.
I feel like I've been going, going, going since about Thursday!

We went to see the Harlem Globetrotters last night. I had never been & neither has my nephew or brother in law, & it had been years since hubby has been. I had so much fun. I'm not a basketball fan but I left there telling Doug that I now want to go watch an NBA game. Even though I'm well aware that there are no gags. lol But it was just fun. We all had a lot of fun & enjoyed it!

If you have never been to a Globetrotter game I highly recommend it. Especially if you have kids! They got one signature because it's a mad house trying to get things signed. But they were happy with that!
And we went to Bass Pro Shop before the game since it is 10 minutes, or less, down the road from the venue. Hubby got to spend a couple of gift cards. So he was happy about that. :)
He's gone fishing now & I am sitting her still kind of unwinding from the last 4 or 5 days. Doing absolutely nothingggg that I don't HAVE to do.
I've gotta figure out this bloglovin thing. So I suppose I will do that eventually.
Or play with my camera.
I haven't even really got to play around with it much, I've been so go-go-go.
I may have to use it on my mom. She got a new gun from Daddy as an anniversary gift & she wants a picture with/of it. :)
Random thought: I wish there was a TV in my kitchen so I could watch the race while I'm sittin' at the table.

I'm pretty bummed that my flats are starting to smell. I know that it can be a common thing, but I don't like it. So I've gotta nip that asap. Not okay with my shoes or my feet stinking. Thank God flip flops will be taking over very soon.

I was looking on InstaG last night & KellyAnne had posted pictures from where she and her cute family went to Amicalola Falls and took the hike & saw the falls & it was so pretty...You would think with me living one county away from there my whole life that I wouldn't have taken that hike before. But no. I haven't. Ever. (Or if I have, it was a field trip & I don't remember it.) But for the past 2 or 3 years I've really wanted to. & KellyAnne's pictures made me want to even more! So, when Doug & I start to do all this walking and junk, it will be on the agenda! :) Along with the trail around our reservoir (which I will let you know how that is, KellyAnne!)

I have no major plans for St. Patty's Day, as I've already mentioned. Today= a day of nothingness. I will enjoy some Saint Brendan's tonight though.
Hmm....
Heyyy, let's do Sunday Social today because my mind is so blank right now.

1. Favorite thing to do on a rainy day? 
Lounge/sleep. Watch TV, mess around on the computer.
2. Favorite thing to do on a Summer weekend? 
Just hang out. It really depends on how hot/sunny it is. I don't do well when it gets TOO hot...& I burn easily, haha! But getting out and about it always good!
3. Favorite Spring accessory?
Flip Flops!
4. Favorite way to spend a Winter day?
Basically the same as rainy. Unless it happens to actually snow. Then I go in and out. 
5. What is your favorite season and why? 
Spring, because it is finally starting to get warm and gorgeous, the flowers & everything are blooming & it's just a nice change in scenery. & Fall because it's starting to cool down just a little & who doesn't love fall colors?! Love them both because they are not too hot and not too cold. Perfection!
6. Best birthday you ever had? 
I honestly do not know. I can't answer this one.


The first week of springing forward was great. Like I said, I love it! Getting dark later makes me happy (says the night owl, lol).
Wednesday is the First Day of Spring!
:)
Now I'm gonna go catch up on my blog reading! :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

The Happiness Project.

Well, I was going to sit down and post earlier, but my internet had other plans.
I ended up having to push back blogging to get ready for the second part of my day; a gender reveal party. :)
Aww behbies
I didn't post yesterday (Thursday).
Which is okay 'cause I'm posting right now!

The last 2 days have been pretty great. (I have to add that the weather the past few days has also been amazeballs! I actually had to turn on my AC in my car today.)
Made the journey to K Mart (haven't been in a K Mart in a good 10 years), 2 counties away...JUST for a dresser thing to put in my bathroom. BUT, it was on sale & I was going to be able to use gift cards to pay for all of it. In other words--FREE to me. Well worth the drive. ;)
Now we just have to put it together...

Today, I decided to spoil myself.
I finally decided to suck it up and go get my camera.
:)
I came out of the day with a camera, 2 lenses, a carrying case & memory card. 2 shirts, Essie matte top coat, 2 poster frames, & The Happiness Project.

What's even better is I bought the camera, lenses, case, mem. card, Essie, & the book myself, with my money that I've saved for years.
For someone that's unemployed that's a proud thing to be able to say.
Don't get me wrong, I love when my hubs can spoil me, but to be able to say that I bought something I've wanted for so long makes me happy.
[reason 1848290 I need a job]
& I'm pretty excited about reading The Happiness Project. Heard good things about it, so hoping I like it too! I've decided to abandon my current book to read it since it doesn't look like it's that long. Seems like it'll be an easy read. Plus, I feel like for the past year or so I've been trying out my own Happiness Project of sorts....with a few exceptions. So yea, I'm ready to read it!

The gender reveal party was great. So cute. I couldn't be happier for them. It's my hubbies cousin & his wife. But of course I was asked about how things are going with mine & the hubs situation.
& I really had no answers since I STILL haven't been to my follow up appt. (I'm only like 9 weeks late on that follow-up) The only thing I can say is the usual, "I don't know, just hasn't happened yet"..."I try not to think about it"...."I try no to expect it"..."my body sucks"..."I suck because I avoid the dr for no reason"...okay so I didn't say the last 2, but still.
I'm not bothered by being asked that much because they know the situation & are genuinely curious. I'm just bothered by the fact that I can't give them the answer I want to give them. I just need to get my ass back to the Dr. so we can decide what we are going to do next. I know, I know..just do it!

Well, I came home & had a glass of wine, & it is time to unwind and cuddle up & stuff.
Busy day tomorrow!
Bass Pro Shop & The Harlem Globetrotters!
So excited to go see Big Blue (a catfish...my name for him) at Bass Pro!
I l-o-v-e BPS!
& I'm excited for the Globetrotters too, never seen them before!

OH! I haven't had time to sit down & really do my blog reading in a couple of days, but I've seen a ton of blog titles about everyone switching to bloglovin'?! Idk what that is. & I'm also a bit confused. I log into Blogger & read blogs that way...does that mean I need to switch too?! Like, is that part of Google Reader or whatever?!
Someone help? Please! haha

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
I'll catch up on my reading probably Sunday. :)

Monday morning--er afternoon-- blahness & a new sexy time link-up!

Y'all, I am just not feeling this. Sucks to come away from such a good weekend to this. I just don't feel good...and it's not the time change.

Friday: I went shopping with my Mom & Granny for a Bridal Shower gift. Which was pretty much a one-stop-shop trip. But me, I can't do that. I had to walk next door to Michaels. Ughh...guys seriously, I'd love a chance at a Michaels (or Hobby Lobby) version of Supermarket Sweep. To just run through and grab any and everything I could! Anyway, every time I go to Michaels it leaves me feeling a little down because I really miss scrapbooking. I want an area to work in sooo bad! Ugh, but we ended our shopping trip by stopping by Mickey D's for a milkshake. Yum-O! Satisfied my chocolate milkshake craving. Then I headed to my cousins to hang and shoot the shit, gossip, the usual. We took a late night trip to Wally World & then I headed home to FINALLY eat supper (Pizza Rolls) at freaking 11pm since she didn't feed me like she said she would! lol

Saturday: Day of the Bridal Shower. I met up with my cousin again, the same one, at about 1. I was going to ride with her to the shower & we had to be there by 2. So we meet at the store & I'm switching the gifts from Hubby's car to hers while she's pumping gas & she gets a call from her Aunt -btw, my God Sister is her cousin, that's not confusing right ;) - about the shower, asking if she was coming. She basically says "yes, we're on our way"...well the shower starts at 4! FOUR! Not 2. Haha, well we decided to go early anyway. The only people there were her aunt, uncle & younger cousins. The bride-to-be finally showed up & then before we knew it so did everyone else. The shower went great, she got some great stuff & it was so good to see my God Sister! By the time my cuzzo & I left we had been there for like 4 hours. haha. She dropped my off at my mother in laws & I ate a burger left from the small cookout I missed & then watched some TV & then hubs & I headed home. When we got home I was in such a good mood & we were just acting silly. I love those times. We went to bed & I ate too much sugar. & Then we had a mini shoot with Sugar (not to be confused with the aforementioned candy).

Sunday: Was a lazy day. I sent Doug out the door at 3am with my brother, Gpa & another club member. They went to the hunting club to check the hog traps, feeders, and cameras & to do a few other things. Hell they made it back before I woke up, which means it was a quickkk trips because it's a 2 hour trip just going down, so..yea. He woke me up & then he went back to bed. So, I went to pick up some groceries with mom. Got home, woke him up, turned on the race & we all sat around. Then Doug went fishing with my bro & dad got supper started. We crunk up the grill last night & had baked potatoes & steaks & I prepped the salad. Supper was aaaaamazeballs!

And that was the end. Other than my middle of the night bath/shower.
I really wish I knew where my damn blow dryer disappeared to.

Anywho, my weekend was actually great. Just wish I didn't get up today feeling the way I do. I'm not sick, I just feel...bad. Hoping I shake it by the end of the day or tomorrow. I'm totally not doing anything I had planned to today & I'm slightly disappointed in myself, but I'll get over it.
This is a pro to being a stay at home wife, when I feel bad I can actually lounge around and not have too much to worry about.

Okay now that I rambled about that.
Onto this Sexy Time Link-Up!
My girl Nicole has decided to do a new link-up called 'Naughty Talk Tuesday with Grub N Marriage' talking about Sex.

She will post a question about your sex life & you answer accordingly! Tomorrow is the first one & I hope you ladies will at least check it out & give it a try! :) Check out her blog for the first question & answer it & link up tomorrow!

And that's about all I have for you today. Thinking about losing myself in my DVR & Pinterest all day. (OH & The Client List is back on! YAY! I had to DVR it so I haven't watched it yet, but I'm excited. Love that show & love J.Love!)

Love Always
