Last Minute Thoughts and A Story

I started this post on Tuesday as we dashed out to do some very last minute Christmas shopping but have just now, now being Christmas Eve had the chance to finish it.
Here it is as it read on Tuesday:

As we dash out the door to do some last minute, VERY last minute Christmas shopping I wanted to share a funny story about the AC/DC concert night before last. At first, I was all pissy and whiny in my own mind about our seats; we were pretty far back and up high in these semi sort of luxury box seats and at $800 a ticket, I expected to be up Angus Young's butt. I could have used binoculars to even see his butt to be honest, however...... I studied the boy's faces for any sign of disappointment since at the Eric Clapton concert we were eight rows front and center but they seemed very content with our seating situation and I didn't want to spoil the night with a fit including a cold shoulder to the purchaser of the tickets.
The seat location turned out to be a bonus as we ended up having box seats which meant we shared luxury seats with just 12 other very friendly people who had booze and pizza. We also had an attendant who served us and saw to our every need. And, the concert was ear drum burstingly loud so we were far enough away so no one left bleeding.
During the great concert by some very old rockers, a blow up doll of Rosie (you know, the song "A Whole Lotta Rosie" appeared on stage. It was about 15 feet tall and was astride a motorcycle. Here's what it looked like:



Somehow, the concert Rosie's nipples were thankfully covered but Braden was pretty sure he could see her "privates" but you really couldn't, it was just a thong. But he DID turn to me with wide eyes and a shit eating grin on his face and said: "Momma!! That's YOU!!"
Ah, to see yourself through your child's eyes.
I guess I'm flattered?? Or violated? I'm not exactly sure.

So hey! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. I hope you all have a beautiful love filled holiday with your loved ones. I'm just hoping for diamonds.
