| | As if I wasn't excited enough about getting to see Rascal Flatts on Sunday for the first time in 11 months, I found out tonight that David Cook is coming here to Iowa next month. It's just... wow. Kinda makes me wanna twirl around on my computer chair in excitement. lol | comments: Leave a comment   |
| Wow it's been a while since I've wrote anything on LJ. Wow, where did September go?
I get to see Sugarland, Little Big Town, and Jake Owen here in town next Friday. =) Nominated my sister into attempting to get me a Sugarland M&G since I joined their fan club after seeing them in Monticello. Crossing my fingers for good luck but I haven't seen much posted on their mb about the CR show, so it's a probability I have a good chance.
On October 26th and 27th I'm seeing my boys of Rascal Flatts in Des Moines and St. Paul. Going with the local radio station's charter buses to Des Moines and getting up extremely early the next morning to leave for St. Paul. It'll be good times because I'll get to see a bunch of people I haven't seen in almost a year, not to mention my sister got me my RASCAL FLATTS M&G FOR DES MOINES this past Wednesday. Yeah I may or may not have freaked out while on my lunch hour at work when reading texts from her. lol But come on, can ya blame me? I haven't seen them in concert since last October in Moline AND I get to meet them again. Double the pleasure, double the fun. :p | | comments: Leave a comment |

| until I'm a year older. Yikes what a frightening thought. It also means the day that I get to meet Keith Anderson has arrived.
The beginning of this 11 day vacation away from hell I mean work got off to an interesting start. Moments after I had paid for the last couple of things I needed to buy (since the only day I'm going into work while on vacation is next Thursday AKA payday) the tornado sirens went off but there was no way in hell I was staying in there any longer than I had to. Thankfully I only live five blocks away at the most away from work. Got drenched getting into the car and making a mad dash under the carport at home. No tornadoes or funnel clouds were spotted here, just heavy rain and winds.
It was nice waking up this morning thinking "Yay I don't have to worry about what shit is going to happen at work for the next week and a half." lol Cashed in my change at the bank (would you believe I had $145 in change saved since MARCH, yeah it shocked me too) and got some lunch before getting my hair cut. It's now sort of like how Kelly Clarkson's was during the CMT Crossroads special. SO much lighter and softer feeling.
Afterwards I went shopping with my mom because I was in search of plain black jewelry to go with the shirt I am wearing Saturday. Not to mention the fact that I got two coupons from Penney's in the mail in the last few days, one for $15 off a purchase as a birthday gift the other was $10 or $15 off a $50 or $75+ purchase. I got two longer sleeved shirts for work since fall isn't that far away, a pair of jean capris, two necklaces, a bracelet, and a pair of earrings for like $70 after using two of those coupons.
About 8:30ish my sister dyed my hair and now it's an auburnish color. I'll have to take "after" pics later because I look like shit right now. lol
Starting a new year of life with a change. Hopefully turning 27 will be nicer to me than 26 was to me. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| | Hmmm... the couple of weeks I will be on vacation in July are looking very concert oriented... First seeing Sugarland and Keith Anderson on my birthday plus I get to meet Keith. Second seeing Keith Urban and The Wreckers in Moline a few days later. And third thinking about seeing Kelly Clarkson somewhere in between the other two concerts. lol So not going to have a voice by the time I go back to work, especially if I do end up seeing Kelly. lol | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| | Wow this song makes me wanna relive Monday and Tuesday nights. *sniffles* Time flew by too fast those two days. | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| It's hard to believe in about a week Mindy and I will be seeing Timberlake in Chicago. *pinches self* Time flies by so fast, seems like yesterday the tourdates were announced in November (I think), then it came time to be buying the tickets in December, and here it is freakin March. Good god. That means I'll be starting the packing process sometime this weekend. lol The list is written out, thankfully I worked on that Monday afternoon. lol
Good luck was with my sister and I Monday morning, she was able to get our tickets to see Daughtry here in town and I was able to score a floor seat to see Keith Urban in Moline on TM. SO GLAD our power came back on Sunday night, otherwise I would've had to get up really early on Monday to go down to the US Cellular Center to get the Keith tickets. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| | Someone is posting info about the San Diego concert via a SideKick on JJB. Damn them for getting me hooked on the thread! lol Now I don't want to go to sleep because I'm freakin excited but deep down I NEED sleep. Waking up about 6am to catch up on all the fun stuff about the concert. Saw the setlist and all I can say is "Oh.My.God." | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| | It's been exactly three years to the day since my grandma passed away. The last couple of days I've been sicker than a dog. Coincidence or just plain creepy? | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Good grief. I'm so very glad this weekend is over with. Tired and worn out from working the last few days, not to mention all the lovely snarling customers. What I wouldn't do to be able to smack them upside the head. It's the most wonderful time of the year? I think not. Dread these two months more than anything every year.
Ashley was in town this weekend to see her family and I was able to talk to her for a few mins when she came into work today. She finds it utterly hilarious about this situation I am in when it comes to someone. Well she's the one who stuck me in it. lol Had she not said before she moved away in August I wouldn't have noticed. But now it has me paranoid as hell. I told her I need a sign that says "it's not polite to stare." lol | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Must go pick up my first copy of Future Sex/ Love Sounds at Target before work since the Best Buy one is somewhere in MO according to the shipping tracker. That means it'll be here by Wednesday, Thursday at the latest.
The Letterman interview was hilarious. Got my vcr all set up for all the shows today, just need to remember to switch the tv to MTV before going upstairs at 9am.
According to some article I read on the Just Justin LJ, it says the US part of the tour is starting in January. So if he goes west coast to east, maybe it'll hit the midwest about March. That way it might be possible for a JIF reunion. Chicago, Cincy, or Indy we gotta hit up at least one show all of us together sitting by each other. If there's others like in Milwaukee, I'll be debating since Ashley lives up there now and I have a good idea of what venue he'd play at there. We'll cross that road when the time gets closer and what the funds are looking like. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Good lord all of these Justin videos on MTV Hits! Such issues we had when the Justified videos were released. Gone is on right now! *returns to watching tv*
And now at 1:30am central time they are playing Making The Video: Like I Love You!!!!!!!!! *squees* | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |

| Since it is 12:01 am on August 22nd 2006, I just want to say that there should've been a JIF reunion going on in Chicago but thanks to lack of funds/time off conflicts, there isn't one. :( No Best Buy listening party, no HOB show, no "oh my god"ing throughout the entire show, no staring trying to soak up everything, no cursing like a sailor, no hand motions, no stripping off layers of clothes, no special guests, not hearing some of the new songs, not hearing the different versions of the Justified songs... *sighs* Yeah I'm kinda sorta bummed out, if ya can't tell.
Damn you Timberlake. I miss my JIF girls and we all could've experienced a club show TOGETHER.
And yes, this bitch will cry about it. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| Justin Timberlake's upcoming world tour will include 100 in-the-round arena shows worldwide. The time frame is January of 2007 through October of 2007.
*blinks* How freakin' awesome is that?! My guess would be more U.S. dates than world ones. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| Well so much for going to see JT. I really don't have a shitload of money to drop on a day trip to Chicago. The thing that sucks the most is I AM OFF ON FRIDAY when tickets go on sale. Grrr.
Anyways on Friday night I'm going to see Trisha Yearwood and Bryan White in concert in Tama. I wonder if Bryan will have a autograph session after his set... I'm such a dork. He was my country version of Timberlake in high school. lol | | comments: 6 comments or Leave a comment |

| | Dork! Did you realize yesterday was the 3 year anniversary of meeting JT? Don't know why but it totally dawned on me earlier. Maybe it's because of seeing that really small clip of the SexyBack video on MTV. DON'T FORGET IT PREMIERES TUESDAY! | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
| This weekend went by too fast. But here's a summary on the trip, part one of two.
- flight from cr was delayed 2 hours
- drove up and down the strip with all of us smashed in candice's car lol
- checked into the luxor. totally breathtaking and somehow we managed to have 5 people in our room without getting busted
- dumped our stuff off in the room and got something to eat. the mcdonald's we ate at across from mandalay bay has a 30 minute time limit. while walking back we watched the huge mandalay bay sign because it had a small video of rf on it because of the concert the next night.
- watched tv and eventually we all fell asleep.
- woke up around 7ish, showered, got ready, and walked over to mandalay bay to see if the guys had arrived yet. no sign at 9ish but we saw the semis and the wreckers' bus
- went to eat brunch towards the north end of the strip. can't remember the name of the place off the top of my head right now.
- came back to the hotel room and were on a mission to try to get all of us tickets to the show. candice had an hour convo between 2 people who work at the lv country station but no tickets.
- went swimming at the hotel. while out there jill found out from her friend val that mandalay was releasing 100-200 more tickets after 4pm. out of the 5, 2 of us were bound and determined to go.
- jill and i took the tram to mandalay and got tickets. we were in the show but they weren't the best of seats so we knew we had to get to the fan club table asap when the doors opened to get pit passes.
- went back to the hotel, got ready for the concert, and headed back. met up with val, mindy (a friend of val's), tina, and sara in line. once it was time to go inside, jill and i hauled ass, cutting through the lines to get to the fan club table.
- waited for faith to arrive and all of us got pit passes and were in the same pit. talked to jim, rf's drummer, for a few minutes before the show. oh and a jjber was in the pit. dork you remember amanda who used to stalk the guys via steve? yeah her. not to mention her skanky friends.
- show was awesome. the wreckers were good and in between songs they kept having a conversation while not near the mics. totally impressed with gary allan in concert. if he opens for another act i like, i may have to go. got a gary allan pick when the roadies were taking down his stuff.
- onto the main reason why we went: rascal flatts. during intermission between gary allan and the guys, i had made a small sign saying "iowa to nevada we need a hug" using the ticket envelope to see if it would work. and oh my it did work. can't remember off the top of my head during which song but all of a sudden, joe don dropped down on his knees and played his guitar for a good minute RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. afterwards he leaned down, gave us a hug, and gave jill a kiss on the cheek. while he was right there, he let us get picks off the side of his guitar. the other 2 saw our sign but didn't do anything like jd. i think jay mouthed "wow" when he saw how far we traveled. lol during the encore they sang "life is a highway" and the opening acts came out to sing "change in my pocket" with them. someone had thrown a magenta bra on stage and eventually it ended up around gary allan's neck. at the very end, all of them walked around the stage and catwalks shaking hands and stuff. here comes joe don again and he knelt down to give me another hug and kissed my forehead. *swoon* after all of them left the stage, also got jay picks that were still on his guitar thanks to one of the roadies.
well that's vegas for now. tahoe later. i wanna upload the pics i've taken to my computer and decide which ones are going in my yahoo photos. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| First: LEAVING FOR VEGAS TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tonight! *pinches self*
Second: About 2 in the morning I heard SexyBack on Z102.9!
Third: Have I ever mentioned how much I hate packing?
Fourth: I heard that Life Is A Highway has been added to RF's setlist. Jill texted me about 1am about since it since her friend Sandy was at the Phoenix show last night.
Fifth: Did I meantion I'm leaving for LAS FREAKIN VEGAS TONIGHT?!?!?!?!
Anyways, gotta finish up packing and running the last couple of errands before Jill gets here around 4:30. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
