All hail Queen Bonnie

The Bonnie Raitt/Keb Mo concert was a-maz-ing. My stepsis drove up and we grabbed our lawn chairs and headed out to the Zoo amphitheatre. The weather was mild and I was concerned about getting cold so we took a blanket in with us. As we were heading toward the gates, I spotted my cousins David and Carolyn, as well as a few friends. Let's just say that Beth and I were amongst the youngest ppl at this concert!!! Keb Mo was soooo good. I had not heard him live before but Beth is a big fan. I will have to hunt down some of his music. Then, Ms. Bonnie Raitt came out and we jammed. I just love her style, her honesty, and her passion. When she did Angel From Montgomery I about melted. Of course, my favorite song is Can't Make you Love Me, which she did very slowly and full of feeling. Yes, it made me cry (just a little). All in all, a most fabulous evening and even better that I got to spend it with Beth.

I HADDDD to go to the fair

Me being the good kid I am.....lol
After my hair appointment this evening I was driving to Panera Bread to study for a while. I have a final in my Human Diversity class on Saturday. My plan was to study hard for two hours at Panera, come home, relax, and get a good night's sleep.
As I was driving I heard the radio announcer say, "Free tickets to Sunday's Bonnie Raitt concert to anyone who comes by our booth at the State Fair." OH NO!!!! What do I do??? I immediately picked up the phone and called my step-sis (she and I had just discussed this concert two days ago) and I left her a msg. My car somehow magically turned onto the highway and next thing I know I'm pulling into the State Fair parking area. Ok, I think, I'll just go get the tickets and then go study. I get the tickets and my step-sis calls back and we're both way excited. I decided to roam around the building to see if I run into anyone I know so I can have them go get me two more tickets. Well, didn't run into anyone. Then since I was already there I figured I could have supper at the Fair so of course I have an Indian Taco. Fry bread power!!! Yum.
I roam a little more, realize I'm too tired to study, so I hang out at the Fair longer then finally come home (with a bag of cotton candy). My cat likes cotton candy.

I am such a slacker. But I promise I have been studying and I WILL study tomorrow. If my brothers are reading this they are shaking their heads in disgust. What can I say? The tickets were FREEEEEE. I couldn't pass them up.

Dude, where's my sanity?

Peace of mind is so over-rated.

I have a final on Saturday, for my first social work class. This test is going to be terr-i-ble.

Campaign life is busy busy. To be expected. I am happiest when I am at the campaign though, I do have to admit that one. But, consuming............

Cimarron Alliance. Ugh. Don't get me started.

Work. Actually it's ok at the moment.

Church. Maybe I'll get to go this week.

Laundry. In nice little piles waiting for someone to come along and magically wash.

Cat. got her shaved the other day. she's fuzzy and soft now.

Me. Ok but a little frazzily. Should be studying at the moment.

Oh, I need some good CLEAN jokes. Everyone is sick of my knock knock joke. Email me.

Addiction

I confess, I have an addiction....well, i have many addictions but here's the latest. I am addicted to Sudoku. LOVE those puzzles. I have been doing them for several months and just can't stop. I even took some to my Cimarron Board meeting last night (because often the meetings are long and tense). Figuring out where the little numbers go occupies my mind and calms me down. I have also started taking them to class. Now mind you, class is from 9-5 on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so I NEED something to keep me awake. I pay attention, but I have to keep my hands busy or I will get really restless.

In other news............

Wow. No other news to share. All I do is go to work, go to campaign, and attend class. That's it. My life is so dull. Will someone please take pity on me and whisk me away to an island paradise?? Please???? I ask so little of others........

star struck!

I am just swooning right now! Tonight, the Oklahoma Stonewall Democrats held a fundraiser featuring Kayne Gillaspie of Bravo's Project Runway. Kayne is from Norman, Oklahoma (just a few miles down the road) and has become an instant star due to his success on Project Runway. I was SOOO excited to meet him because I think he's fabulously talented and I want him to win. I bought a piece of art through a silent auction--it's done by Kayne and it's a drawing of a beautiful turquoise gown on a blonde model. It's amazing! He signed it and then wrote a personal inscription to me on the back! I almost fainted. Well, not quite...but I am so giddy right now. I just hope he makes it to top 3 and hopefully wins the overall contest! He said that this piece is an original, one of a kind. Wheeeeeee.......
Ok, so it doesn't take much to amuse me....but this was a great evening.
