First Concert

My First Concert

The first concert I attend (or at least I think it was my first) was NSYNC.  I was in 7th or 8th grade.  I went with one of my best friends back then.  I can still remember waiting in line to buy the tickets months and months before the show.  I remember every little detail about the show and remember how I was the day after the show.

1790664

I remember I was super sad and depressed because I had looked forward to going to see them for months and months and then it was over and I felt like I didn’t have anything else to look forward to.  I remember that my grandma laughed at me when I told her why I was sad and now that I look back at it I have to laugh as well.  It crazy how I looked at things when I was younger and how  big this concert was build up in my head.  I did go and see them one more time along with a few other boy bands that were popular at the time.

Now that I am an adult I tend to want to go and see more comedians than music stars.  I have seen Jeff Dunham twice and I loved every second of those shows.  I stake his website so I will know when he come back and my brother and I can go and see him again.  It is weird to me that I love music so much but the thought of going to a musical concert makes me head hurt now.  When I was younger I loved the loud music at concerts and now I don’t think I would be able to stay through the whole thing no matter how much I loved the show.

Who did you see for your first concert? Do you like to see comedians or music stars more?

A Few Books

What I Am Reading

So this week for the Writers Workshop one of the prompts was to write a book review and since I am always doing book reviews I figured I would just list a few of the posts from the past few weeks so you can check them out if you are new or may have missed them.

Those are just a few of the books I have been reading this past month or so.  I do want to say that I have a review for a book that will be live on Monday and it is by far the best book I have read in a long time.  If you love books like the Hunger Games & Divergent I know you will love this book!  So be on the lookout for that post on Monday!

I am always on the lookout for books to read so what books have you been loving?

Currently. . .

currently

This week I chose to write about number 2 which is: “Currently” a simple list of things you’re currently feeling as seen at Sometimes Sweet.

Reading: Right now I am reading a few different books to review.  Here is a list of a few of the ones I am reading: “The Letters” by Suzanne Woods Fisher, “Defending Wellton” by Kelli Kretzchmar, “Scarred Love” by M.S. Brannon.  I also have reviews coming up for some great books I have read the past few weeks.
Listening to: Right now I am listening to Country music mainly but I also am still loving Celtic Thunder and have been for the past few years.
Thinking about: I am thinking about a lot of crazy things that are going on in my life because I am not sure what is going on and what is going to happen in the next few months.  I wish I could write about the big thing but for now I can’t in respect for the others involved in the situation.
Watching: I am not really watching anything right now because I am not a huge TV fan.  I do love watching Lockup on MSNBC on Saturday nights but the past two weeks it hasn’t been on due to different things going on in the this country.  I also have been loving Dead Files on the Travel Channel.
Bummed out on: Watching people in my life struggling because of choices they made but it still hurts to watch them go through things I went through because they thought it wouldn’t happen to them.
Loving: I have been loving having this bunny is our backyard for the past few days.  We did catch him yesterday but I loved looking out into the background and seeing him there and also watching Sylvia stare at the shed in the backyard waiting to see it because she is interested in it and yet scared to death of it at the same time.

How I Beat The Summer Heat

Beating The Heat

This week for the writers workshop I am going to write about #4 which is how I beat the summer heat.  This year the temperatures of been super high and I am not sure if you know but heat and MS don’t mix well.  Here a few things that I do to try and stay cool and not over heat.

  •  I try to only go out in the mornings and if I do have to go out later I won’t go out in the afternoon because it is too hot.
  • When I am leaving work at 5 I always have a ice pack that I keep in the freezer at work and I use that while I am waiting for my AC to cool down my car.
  • I always try and wear light colors.  I am sure it would help if I didn’t always layer my shirts but I can’t wear shirts without a tank top underneath them.

Those are the things I do to try and beat the heat.  The biggest thing I do though is stay inside and out of the heat as much as possible.  During the summer I really am a homebody because I just avoid the heat as much as I can.

What do you do to avoid the heat?

8 Places

8 Places

This week for the writers workshop I am going to write about number 5 which is eight places you’d go this summer if money weren’t an object.  It was hard for me to get it down to just eight places because I love to travel, and if I could, I would go all the time.  Here are the eight places I would go if money weren’t an object.

  1. Yellowstone-I loves Yellowstone so much that if I could pick one place to go on a vacation to every year, this would be the place.  We went there when I was younger all the time and now that I am an adult I miss going.
  2. Michigan-I went here the year I graduated from high school, and I can’t wait to go back.  I loved everything about this state.
  3. Ireland-Since I have started listening to Celtic Thunder I want to go and experience the country see the sights.
  4. Australia-I has always wanted to go here, and I am not sure why other than the fact that it looks super beautiful.
  5. New York City – I have been in the state when we went to Michigan the summer I graduated, but I want to see and experience New York City.
  6. A Cruise-I would go a cruise pretty much anywhere so that I could say I have gone on one.
  7. Florida-I want to go the Disney World along with just seeing the state.
  8. England-I love all of the history that you can see and experience in England, and I would like to just wander around and explore the country.

Where have you always wanted to go?
