So yeah.. the holidays happened. It was hectic and busy and mostly wonderful (see my “How to treat your Goddess post”!) Followed by a lot of catching up on bills and then my birthday on the 26th of Jan which was delightful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My sweet BF started my day by making me tea with fresh baked scones with clotted cream which is totally one of my favorite things in the world. Then later I discovered that he and my ex (who is still one of my best friends) he conspired to surprise me with a birthday lunch with my 3 favorite people in the world! Yup they totally made me cry in the restaurant. Which was followed by a lovely evening of relaxing and watching movies at home with the kitties. (Oh and a couple of Pokemon raids) It was absolutely perfect!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course the realization that you are getting older can be a bit of a downer but I remind myself often that it sure beats the alternative and I have never exactly been one to “act my age” for the most part so life is still a whole lot of fun more often than not! But I also know I am not getting any younger and that I need to work a bit harder to have as much fun as I can .. while I can. Or as my favorite kid and I always say: We have places to go.. things to do and FUN TO HAVE!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, I have resolved to go to as many concerts as I possibly can starting with Matt Nathanson at Irving Plaza on Feb 20th in NYC. (which was truly amazing!!) He is without a doubt my favorite singer \/ songwriter of all time and I personally think he is one of the sexiest men on the planet. <grin> I LOVE the way he moves when he sings.. like OMG, seriously sexy. I nearly cried when I got to meet him last week and I was blown away to find out that he is a genuinely nice guy too. There is almost nothing worse than finding out someone you admire is actually a dick but Matt was open and engaging and genuinely freaking nice. I didn’t think it was possible for me to like him more than I already did but I do. Made my month! In fact I am going back to see him on Long Island in April!
<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

I am taking my favorite young person to see Hamilton for their 16th birthday in very early May and then two days after that, the kid and I and 2 of her friends are going to see Any Black at the Palladium! Andy is lead singer of the Black Veil Brides and has a great solo career as well (he has an amazingly sexy baritone). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also bought myself a lawn pass to Xfinity Theatre in Hartford this year so that I can catch every show they have that allows lawn seating. I am looking forward to quite a few starting with Hootie and the Blowfish, Dave Matthews, Santana, Zac Brown and Breaking Benjamin with Three Days Grace! Like “OMG”!!! <grin> In fact, most of those shows I will likely be going to alone so if you want to grab a ticket and hang with me at any of them .. let me know! I am cool going to shows on my own but love hanging out and listening to great music with nice people too. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, perhaps best of all … I just freaking scored VIP tickets to Warped Tour Atlantic City which this year is a 2 two day event! And then I also grabbed a pair for WT in Mountain View CA (which is a good thing because I had already booked the hotel and airfare for the two of us). It is going to be a really wonderful “road trip” that includes a day at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and 2 days in San Fran! Check out the line up: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This going to be a truly EPIC summer of music and memories. I am crazy excited and thankful for so much right now … but it would definitely be nice to have a bunch of you come make appts so I can have fun upstairs as well. (wink wink hint hint) and then I can tell you all about my adventures AND help me pay for all these concert tickets!!
LOL. Life is good!!
