Concert #4

Almost done with my 101 concert list! I said I wanted to go to 5 concerts and honestly I thought it would take me a lot longer than this to complete it. But next weekend D and I will be in Las Vegas seeing Garth Brooks and that will wrap up my 5 concert for my 101. I totally thought it would take me the entire 1001 days to get it done, but there have been so many great concerts this year, D and I just haven't been able to resist!


Our latest adventure was attending the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Music Fest here in SD. Basically a giant, all day rock music festival. We got to see several newer up and coming bands and even meet a few. We got to meet a band called Hell Yea too and got their autograph. They were pretty nice. But the whole point of the concert was to see the 2 main acts...Avenged Sevenfold and Disturbed.


Now I am not a hard core rock junkie like my darling counterpart...I am much more into country. But this was my second time to see Disturbed and my first for Ax7 and they did not disappoint. We went with some of D's friends from work, and luckily one was a girl so I was not totally alone. It was definately good times had by all!!

Me and my Jimmy P!!

Me and my girl Kristy!

The fellas...

And of course, me and D!

Movie date night!

Staying right on track with my 101, last Friday night D and I went out to dinner and a movie, then home to bed. It has been a rough couple of weeks and D and I have been crazy busy. Between me working 48 hours a week and D in and out of town all the time, we really look forward to our date nights.

Since we are going to Vegas in a week we tried to do something low key and not too expensive. We kept seeing a commercial for a restaurant here in town called Hometown Buffet. D said he had been there before when he was little when we still lived in OK.

So we looked it up and off we went. It was pretty good. Very Golden Corral, buffet set up. One cool thing about it was that it had ICEE drinks as a drink choice! I was like a kid in a candy store! I freaking love those things! I know if I was a kid I would be super stoked about that. I did resist however since we were going to go to a movie later and we always share and ICEE at the movies.

For our movie part of the night, we went to go see the new Resident Evil: 3D. We are big fans of the series and D plays the video game as well. We have been watching them in theaters since they first came out. I think this is the 4th one and from the ending I am going to guess there will be another. It is your typical zombie, semi scary, action movie...got it? It was good and I was pleased with it.

The only thing I was bummed about was the 3D part. You know I am not a big fan of 3D movies. I just don't get it. I never feel like 3D makes it (or any movie for that matter) any better. I felt the same way about Avatar actually. I didn't fee like the graphics or whatever you call them really stood off the screen much more than normal. I mean there were a few parts yea, but I didn't think those parts of the movie made it seem any cooler. Does that make any sense??

Well anywho, that was our date night in a nut shell. We came home, watched some TV in bed and fell asleep. Like I said we have been so busy lately that we just haven't been staying up very late. But that is it for now!!

Date night!

Wow...it has been a really long time since I last blogged! I have a ton of book updates, but that will be another post entirely! This post is all about my date night in August!

D was as usual gone most of the month, but we did manage to go out for my birthday...a little early, but out all the same. First we went to play some putt putt golf. It was so much fun!!! It has has been years, and I mean YEARS since I last played. I mean I was probably 12 the last time I played and I am 25 now (eek! That hurts to say!) But D and I had so much fun...jerk didn't let me win, but at least I am no longer rusty and I can whoop him next time!

Everytime I drive up the highway to work I always pass this fun looking putt putt park. I looked it up and saw that it was a Celebration Station/Perfect Swing type place. Games, bumper boats, batting cages, and of course PUTT PUTT!!!

We got a package that allowed you to play one round of golf with 20 game tokens. D put the smack down on my golf game, but I got him good on the arcade games. We were going to play 2 rounds of golf, but we were getting hungry and wanted some food! So we cashed in our tickets and out to CPK (California Pizza Kitchen) we went. Luckily there is one right by the house so we got to go home and freshen up afterwards, before going out with our friends. And just before that D gave me my fabulous present...a pair of sparklies for my ears. :D He is so good to me!

So that is my date night for August!
