Breakout the happy dance, IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!

I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am that it is Friday! Of course, my lazy dream of doing absolutely nothing all weekend won't happen - but, hey, I am ok with that.

Tomorrow is the RASCAL FLATTS, KEITH ANDERSON & BLAKE SHELTON concert at the big fancy casino!! My daughter is beside herself she's so excited! I am crossing my fingers it doesn't rain and ruin it!!! It is supposed to be 100 degrees, but raining!!!! Oy, Oklahoma weather definitely leaves something to be desired!!!!!!!!

Ok, I'm sure you all are aware that Joe Don Rooney is a Picher native, if you're not from here Picher is honestly one of those towns that if you blink you'll miss it. When I was in high school we all chased the guys from Picher, something in the water - they were hot. (granted we were 16-17 and from looking at pictures, didn't have the greatest taste!) But hey look at Joe Don, he's hot!

As for Keith Anderson, he is a Miami native. My husband went to high school with him. I don't remember him from school, he is around 5 years older than me. Oh, and his aunt lives down the road from one of my best friends and was there last Thanksgiving! of course I was in KC so I didn't get to gawk. And last time he was in concert here it was test night for my self-defense class so I didn't get to go!

Now Blake Shelton, I don't know where he's from but he still looks good and has a great voice.

This will be my first totally sober concert. I probably shouldn't admit that, kinda makes me sound like a lush!! OOPS. My first concert ever was Motley Crue and yes I was sooooo infatuated with Tommy Lee! It was the Girls, Girls, Girls tour. Isn't that just pathetic!!! I think my favorite concert ever was and will always be Bob Seger! A bunch of us went and we had the best time. It was a great concert.
Well maybe I'll just list the concerts I've seen, right here and now, in no particular order,

1. Motley Crue (in North Carolina when I was 14 and in Dallas when I was 20)
2. Oz fest - OZZY rocks! (been a few times in KC-oddly enough this was after marriage)
3. AC/DC - (in KC -)
4. Bob Seger (KC)
5. Steve Miller Band (KC)
6. Alabama (in Tulsa, I was 16 - hey wait I was sober at this one!)
7. TRACE ADKINS (here in Miami)
8. Bad Company (more times than I can count- in Tulsa & Dallas)
9. Lynyrd Skynyrd (just about as many times as Bad Company)
10. and I went to some boy band that was popular when I was 17 in Buffalo, I went to chaperone my bfriends little sister, I can't even remember who it was!!
11. Guns -n-Roses

and that is all I can think of right now - it seems like I am forgetting some - oh and as of tomorrow I can add -
12. Rascal Flatts
13. Keith Anderson
14. Blake Shelton

So I guess I'll quit playing remember when! and get back to work! hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

I went to school with Keith too. He is a year or two younger than me though. And I moved in the ninth grade and graduated from Broken Arrow.
Have fun at the concert! Hope it doesn't rain!

Blake Shelton is an Okie too! Why can't all the guys from Oklahoma be hot like them?

I saw RF back before they were all that famous. We went to Branson to see them and actually got into a meet and greet backstage. I have Gary and JoeDon's autographs, but somehow Jay eluded me. OH and I had Mom take a picture of me with all three of them (I was 7 months pregnant) and my stupid camera BROKE. Died. Dead dead deadski. All the pictures on that roll were lost. Dammit.

Hope it was fun! It sure as shit didn't sound like fun from all the reports I was hearing from town, but I hope you enjoyed the madness!

I graduated a year behind Joe Don, not from Picher, but around here it doesn't matter from what school, you still know everyone. Anyway, he was scrawny and so not cool then. Damn, I knew I should have been nicer to him. That kind of crap always comes back to bite me!

My claim to fame is that my sister went on a date with Joe Don. He "won" her in a date auction at the BSU their freshmen year at NEO. They two-stepped in the parking lot at Jim Bob's.

At the meet and greet we got into at the Branson concert she hugged him and said, "Hey! How are you doing? Remember me?" and God love him, he grabbed her, hugged her again and said, "HEY! How you doin' . . . girl?!?" She didn't realize until later that he didn't have a clue who she was. We were in the van on the way home and out of the blue she goes, "He totally did not have a clue who I was, did he?"
