Well after the sob fest Wednesday night I received some wonderful phone messages.
I’m lucky. I have collected some very choice friends along my journey in life. Two of them called me Wednesday night but my phone was in the car. Instead of chatting about happy times gone by and catching up I was sitting alone crying.
Granted, we all need those nights to cry when no one is watching, but I would have loved to talk to my girls!
There’s nothing that makes me feel younger than hanging out with my 30-something gals!
Who else could you go to a Kelly Clarksen concert with and not feel awkward around all the teenagers?
Please note the 11 year olds in the background…and why are we the only ones rocking out?
Yes, I was quite the mosher in my day.
Do they still say mosh? Anyone?
I do love my friends. I miss the ones I’ve had to leave along the way, but that’s the beauty of today’s world. They are never REALLY far away. We’ve got cell phones and blog sites and picture sites and instant messaging, and web-cams. And true friends do visit each-other, even if you happen to live at the edge of civilization in a very rainy part of the country.
The other wonderful thing about girlfriends is no matter where I go, I seem to find some real gems. I’ve been lucky with this recent move to meet some “kindred spirits.” Women that I can call and ask “I’ll clean your kitchen if you’ll clean mine.” or more often than that “I don’t feel like lifting a finger today. Can we ditch our house keeping duties together and can my kids trash your house while we do it?” It’s great.
Speaking of making new friends, today some fellow female bloggers are driving from the far reaches of the Northwest, and meeting up in Seattle. I’m really excited to meet everyone. I’m totally green to this blogging world and I don’t know what to expect, but I’m hopeful to come away with the beginnings of some fun relationships.
I’ll bring the digital camera and cross my fingers for some really good, embarrassing photos that I can post and talk about later!
I think I read about your bloggin get together on another blog… I was so jealous! It sounds like so much fun. I should have flown out this weekend and planned a longer layover in Seattle… then I could have crashed your party! I hope you had a fabulous time!!
Aw…shucks. What a great memory! I love you!!…and miss you. We are gonna have a rockin summer…Kelly anyone?
It was fun meeting you today! You’re so much fun! Let’s do it again soon!
Oh my gosh, I LOVE that picture!! You guys look like you’re having a blast. And that IS the point, right?
You’re so beautiful, by the way!
And I’m going to do a husband haiku… but yours were pretty awesome!
Your hubby is a hottie!
I said mosh around a bunch of teenagers this week and they just looked at me as if I was crazy. I thought it was still a word but who knows . . .
I love that picture with a great love-ishness. Please go see Kelly with me if she’s ever in Seattle!?
I will see Kelly again if I have the chance, and everyone’s invited. She was fantastic and seemed very down to earth from where I was sitting. Blondie T-shirt, black pants and no shoes was her attire for the entire show. I was empressed. Don’t be scared of the teeny boppers. They just stare and roll their eyes. It’s good practice for when your young ones grow up.
What’s a mosher anyway??
Ya’ll might’ve been the “oldies” of the crowd, but if it was still fun…..who cares??
Glad you enjoyed yourselves!
I have been out of the blogging loop lately. Sorry last week was so sad and glad that the get together was fun (jealous!).
Hooray for good friends in blogdom and IRL!
As for those 11 year olds, they are too busy worrying about how they look to have fun at a concert. What they are missing!!! Am I the only one who remembers that terrible age???
Everybody deserves a couple of those good friends that stay with you for life!!!
I’d probably have more fun at a Kelly concert at age 28 than I would have had at 12! There’s something to be said for no inhibitions!!
Great photo!

You are tres fab, by the way. Let me know if that concert ever comes up, because I am so in!
