Rock on, Gold Dust Woman

Okay, so its been almost two months since I last posted anything.

Honestly, I really haven't had anything to say.

I work. I sleep. Sometimes I eat. And feed my bottlefed calf named Waldo.

But now I have something to say..

So my mom loves Fleetwood Mac. And it just happens that I love them too. They are on tour right now, and so for my mom's birthday/mother's day, my dad and I bought tickets for her. So, the concert was on Saturday night, so I spent the whole weekend hanging out with my parents..whoo. But...

Wow. What a show. Everything was just great. For starters..we were on the floor, fifth row, right in front of Stevie Nicks. Close enough to see spit and sweat flying everywhere (not exaggerating at all). We were right in with the die hards..like the drunk, crying hard core Stevie Nicks fans. Amazing.

They started a bit shaky..honestly, Stevie screwed up Rhiannon pretty badly, so I was worried about the rest of the concert. But they got better..and better..and better. By the end.. it was just..fantastic. They pulled out the song "Storms" (if you don't know it..I would find it) which is one of my absolute favorites. Apparently, they have never performed it live until this tour. It was a good choice. What a beautiful 10 minutes in my life. Like really...I can't even explain how magical it was.

Oh BTW...Lindsay Buckingham..WHAT A BABE. Like I mean, he was hot in '75, but my God..he has aged well. If I wasn't there with my parents, I would have been right right at the front screaming at him. He might even have beaten out Mick Jagger in my books and that is saying something.

Halfway through the concert I had a revelation about why I enjoy music and concerts and performing so much. As far as I could see, no one was sad at that concert. I mean, I almost shed a tear during Storms but that was because Stevie Nicks is amazing and beautiful and such, but no one was sad. Or angry. Or wanted to destroy something/someone. Because music makes people happy. And it brings people together. The people sitting beside us, we were complete strangers and I will never see them again, but we spent the evening together dancing and celebrating a band that we love. And that is nice. I think we need more of that in life.

Anywho..it was a nice weekend. I got to go shopping, bought some tea, some makeup (Winnipeg apparently has a Sephora..halleluia!), some clothes, some pasta.

Tomorrow, I start my new job. Well it really isn't new, I have worked at the place for over a year, but I am starting a new position. For the next 12 weeks I get to take people with disabilites swimming, on day trips, and plan BBQs and all that stuff. I am so excited, and it is much better than working at the ice cream shop.

I should go to bed.
