May Was Fantabulous!

Wow, May was a awesome month! (and June hasn't been so bad yet either)

I guess time really does fly when you're having fun. I blinked and May was gone. May was of course filled with work everyday M-F, and mostly my "regular" routine that I went over a couple of blogs ago. But there were also 3 weekends of concerts, Momma/Joey Sundays, and the month ended with a 4 day work week because of Memorial Day. Only thing better than a 4 day work week is a vacation week. :)

Speaking of work though, been a pretty good month. Maybe it's just me, but eventhough it's been super busy working for the best 7 doctors ever, I've felt more relaxed and at ease. I'm still working nonstop everyday, so maybe it's just my attitude that's changing. For one thing, stopped listening to country music all day. That was the only radio station I could get to come in. I moved the radio and now either listen to Classic Rock or Christian everyday. I'm sure the Relient K, Toby Mac, The Katinas, Casting Crowns, and P & W helps with the possitivity too.

May 1st Joey and I went to see "Fast Five"- the latest installment of the Fast and the Furious series. AMAZING movie! My new favorite movie! Even better than Chick Flicks!

May 8 was Mother's Day and I spent the WHOLE day with Joey. He took me to lunch and a movie- all his treat. He is a blessing! I am thankful everyday that God saw it fit for me to be his momma. He is one sweet kid! (eventhough he's not really a kid- he is almost 19-yikes!)

May 14 I went to see the Beach Boys/Sha Na Na with Sheree and Cindy from work.We had a blast!

Sha Na Na was a lot of fun. 50's music is cheery and makes you wanna smile. I knew almost all the songs, and it made me think of my daddy most of the night. I even got teary-eyed remembering him loving that kind of music. I also thought of my mom. She and Dennis (my wonderful step-dad) watch the Doo Wap concerts all the time on PBS.

The Beach Boys were great too. My dad used to have an 8 track tape of them that we listened to driving around Memphis with the windows down. (man, that makes me sound old- 8 tracks-gulp)He's the only one I really listened to the Beach Boys with until "Kokomo" came out in the 80's. They have some new, younger group members (so does Sha Na Na). The younger members don't harmonize quite as well as the older guys. I guess that's because they were singing before the younger guys were even born. :)

The BEST part of the Beach Boys though was that John Stamos came with them. And I MUST admit, that he has aged VERY well, and looks even better than those old Full House days.

I LOVED it when JS sang "Forever". Such a great, sweet song. Reminds me of watching "Full House" with the kids. They don't make tv like that anymore- REAL family tv.

Then, May 21- Sheree and I went to the Billy Currington/Kenny Chesney concert. I LOVED Currington, but seriously doubt I will go see Chesney again. His show was VERY boring. Sheree and I had more fun watching the crowd than him.

Billy Currington- Thank God for good directions..... and turnip greens. :)

I definitely prefer Brad Paisley to Chesney anyday. The Paisley concert was AWESOME! It was entertainment from the 1st note to the last, not a dull moment at all (compared to all dull at KC).

May 29 I went with Sheree and Jennifer (also from work) to see Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top. Man, that show was INCREDIBLE!!!!!! Both acts put on a SUPERB show!

Show started off with LS! Man, they are awesome! I just love good, Southern rock! Ain't NOTHING like it!

Then ZZ Top took the stage. OMG I forgot how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE ZZ Top! Don't know what it is, but they are just awesome! They don't need all the bells and whistles. Just 3 guys singing and playing music! AWESOMENESS!

So, there you have it. May was filled with good times, good friends, good music, and a little work sprinkled in, but not too bad because the weekends were so so good. Only word to sum up May is FANTABULOUS!!!!!

Until next time- peace out!
