Hey hey hey! So before last night I had never been to an actual concert. I know, I’m a dork. BUT I picked a pretty interesting concert-cherry popper! The Grassroots and Herman’s Hermits were coming to Tucson so I figured what the heck?

Good concert, Pete Noon is the only Hermit left apparently but they all put on a pretty good show. His new band members are MUCH hotter than the last ones I must say

The crowd that turned out for the show was….well…a shit ton of old people. I felt like I was in some sort of a nursing home, then again what should I expect from a band that’s been around since dirt was new?

You can view more fun concert photos on muh flickr by clicking here!

Happy Mother’s Day to all you folks out there with kids of your own or kids that you’ve taken on as your own! I hope you’re spoiled rotten today

My mom is coming over here for a nice surprise day, I’ll post pictures later…it’s gonna be cute!

“A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.”

– Agatha Christie (1890-1976), English novelist and playwright.

***Update***
So it went great The stuff I had up my sleeve for mom included:

The Gift: Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant CD - This was a special gift, I remember as a kid that mom would play this on her record player and I would just giggle listening to his song “Alice’s Restaurant”. Mom LOVED it…and I’m wicked happy about that If you’ve never heard of this guy ya may wanna check him out, he’s awesome

The Meal: My good buddy Zeb at Papa John’s Pizza hooked me up with this super cute heart shaped pepperoni pizza! Mom didn’t realize it was a heart shape for a bit, so I had to laugh when we sat down and she went “Ohmygawd! It’s heart shaped!” Too funny…

The Dessert: I had received a tasty sounding recipe at work for a Brownie Martini and decided that Mother’s Day would be the best time to try it out. Our stupid ghetto Walmart had other plans though as they didn’t have everything I needed for it so I just improvised and made a nice little turtle brownie ice cream concoction. Of course mom loved that too Below is the recipe if you’d like to give it a shot, it’s yummy

The Brownie Martini
-Martini Glass
-Chocolate Syrup
-Brownie
-French Vanilla Ice Cream
-Kahlua
-Caramel Sauce
-Raspberries
-Whipped Cream

Using the chocolate syrup drizzle it around the inside of a chilled Martini Glass. Set a small square of brownie in the bottom of the glass, and top with a scoop of ice cream. Add a splash or two of Kahlua and some more syrup over the top of the ice cream. Then drizzle a little caramel sauce over and top with raspberries and a dollop of whipped cream. YUMMY!

I hope all the mom’s got spoiled rotten today

I hope all of you have a great one, we had an all-day potluck at work and I’ve just about eaten myself sick today! I’m a little better tonight, I still need to get some more sleep but my headspace is a little better. Thanks for the emails and the comments

You know what really makes me upset is when everyone says to me “Call me anytime you ever need anything and I”ll be there for you.” But when you do finally need something there’s no one to help. I’ve never felt more alone than I do today.

Granted it’s only for a couple days but The Hotness has returned to me for a little while!! This weekend will be completely devoted to him! But I hope you all have a great weekend
