hallelujah side note

You know it has been too long between calls when you call your grandma on the phone and this is how the conversation goes....."Grandma, it's Sara". Grandma responds "hallelujah".

A Letter to the Fans

Well, it is now the official middle of the night and I feel I have nothing to write about so I will fall back on a debate my sister and I have had many a times. The song "Hungry Like the Wolf" by Duran Duran states that they "Smell like they sound". I am curious as to just how that smells. The thing that they have on their side is they are all lyrical. If I smelled like I sounded, it would be terrible. I even tried singing in the shower to see if it all changed my "smell" and decided that I was a lost cause. The other song on my iTunes with the word "hung" it...."Hunger Strike" by Pearl Jam. Did that also have Soundgarden in it? Oh, the grunge days of our youth. I don't mind stealing bread.....

Fitness Camp

So we are officially done with the first week of fat camp....er, I mean Fitness Camp. No I won't tell you when and where we meet so that you can come and make fun of me. Basically, some girlfriends and I (not in a sexual way filthy animal) meet up with about 30 other crazy people and have someone boss us around for an hour and fifteen minutes. It seems like an eternity. It hark ens back to my old soccer glory days when in the summertime, we would have four practices a day. You were so tired you went home and ate and went to bed. I don't think I even talked to my sister in the car on the way home....but I digress. Week one is over, I'm sore as hell in places I didn't even know muscles existed anymore, and I think it is great.

Ideas for the Boss

I need some help. Jason would like to come up with another name for his company. Add your comments with some name suggestions.

New names for a construction company.....

Double Deuce Design
Bandit Homes
Dolce Vita Homes

These are all bad ideas but apparently Nicole has a great one. Just waiting on the phone call .....

Concerts Attended

I thought I would start off this fascinating chronicle of altercations with concerts that I can remember going to. Some are pretty embarrassing, some were great and I'm sure that I will leave some off the list but you gotta start somewhere.....

*Kenny Loggins - The first, and in my mind, I had made it. I think that was 5th grade and he played the fair...I cut loose, footloose.
*Michael Bolton - Also at the fair, questionable to most.
*New Kids on The Block - NKOTB to some. I went with my friend Melissa to Seattle and although I tried to act like I thought they were stupid, I had a great time.
*Richard Marx - Also with my friend Melissa plus Jennifer, in Seattle. We stopped in Capital Hill before the concert to use the bathroom and I saw my first gay kiss. Who knew Richard Marx would end up being so taboo?
*Jo Dee Messina
*Indigo Girls -Free tickets
*Clint Black
*Air Supply - Now that's embarrassing.
*Jimmy Buffett - I might vote for him for president but I'm not sure he would help our world image...just a guess.
*James Taylor - He sounded exactly the same in concert as he did on his live cd....weird how that happens. He was at the Gorge and unbelievable.
*Marc Cohn - He was at zoo tunes and sounded great but many kids needed a spanking that day.
*Bruce Hornsby - Also at zoo tunes, in the poring rain. Mom & Dad are troopers:)
*Tim McGraw - Twice. The first time, not so much. The second time, he rocked.
*Faith Hill - Totally hot.
*The Dixie Chicks - 3 times and great every time.
*Mr. George Strait - Need I say more?
*Taylor Swift - opened for above.
*Ronnie Milsap - Same.
*Rodrigo y Gabriela - A very nice surprise. I had no idea who they were and went with friends. You have to check them out.
*Nickel Creek - Great concert with Ma & Pa for his birthday.
*Alison Krauss & Union Station - For my Dad's next birthday, and it was unbelievable.
*The Police - Most recent concert on a trip to Vegas. I'm sure they sounded exactly the same as they did in the '80s. They were really good and the gambling and company was great.

I'm sure I left some out but my brain only works so well these days. Enjoy:)
