Confession: #blogtober16 

After blogging for three  years, I don’t have that many secrets left to tell. There is something that I want to tell but then again it could ruin everything. I may be exaggerating again.

Most of the time, I listen to rock and roll music. When my kids are in the car, the music is generally Top 40 – only because it’s light and fluffy. If the music is light and fluffy, then my kids are not so aggressive and angry. Happy kids = Happy mom.

So here it is . . . . every night when I’m driving to work, I listen to the Sweat Hotel with Keith Sweat. It’s old school R & B. It’s intoxicating and I can’t help it. It’s like honey for my ears or something.

No one knows. Not my kids. Not my boyfriend. Not my mother. Nobody. . . . There’s a little Keith Sweat reference for you.

Keith Sweat: Nobody

There’s also a section of the show called “What’s Your Confession?” Coincidence? Possibly.

12 Favorite concerts: #blogtober16

Honestly, I have been to many, many concerts. It’s hard to say which one was the best. So I’m going to name my top twelve favorite concerts. I tried to just live five or ten but I could not do it.

1. Santana. It was an amazing show. Unfortunately, I can’t find any pictures. I think my camera was broken or misplaced.
2. Joni Mitchell. She did an album of jazz standards. I think she still sounds great no matter what she sings.
3. Miss May I. They are awesome.

4. Chaka Khan. I could see the color of her eyeshadow. I had never been so close to the front stage before.

5. Stone Sour. Epic. I wish it didn’t have to end.

6. Lyrnrd skyrnd. They rock. Probably more than most of the young dudes in bands.

7. Parliament. I blame this concert for my hearing loss. This picture is so old that I had to login to Myspace to find it.

I was hoping to see D’Angelo but he cancelled. I think he has potential to be my favorite.

This a summer, I missed every show that I wanted to see. Red Hot Chili Peppers. Prophets of Rage. Slipknot (FYI: I used to be able to tie a slipknot.) Whenever I get to take a vacation, I’m just going to concerts and the beach. Maybe a concert on the beach. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed.

If you won the lottery: #blogtober16 

What would you do if you won the lottery?

I would hire an Uber driver on a permanent basis. Driving makes me anxious, especially after hitting a deer in June. My boss will probably ask me soon why I’m late or almost late on a regular basis. I’ll just have to tell her the truth:  I drive super slow because I’m paranoid about hitting another deer.

It is not a conversation that I want to have because my boss is not compassionate. She does not care about anyone’s phobia or paranoia. She wants people to be on time to work . Also, she loves it when people work at work. Period.

My Uber driver would then drive me everywhere, except work. I can imagine all of the fun we could have on road trips and going to concerts. It could be awesome. My boyfriend doesn’t think so. He thinks I would end up locked in a basement somewhere. Let’s hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Where did I put that Kubotan anyway?

I can’t live without . . . #blogtober16

What can’t I live without?
Caffeine. I have to have it every day.
Since I am prone to getting kidney stones, I have to stay away from dark pop. ( I miss you so much Dr. Pepper that I almost can’t stand it. Why must they keep us separated?!?! Oh right, kidney stones.)
I have spent the better part of the year trying to have caffeine without repercussions. It’s been working so far. I drink the blue Mountain Dew, coffee and sweet tea when I need to stay awake. During the rest of the time, I drink water and Powerade. 

 I can’t stay awake without caffeine. It’s a delicious addiction.
