Catching Up: Saturday, Country Rodeo Finals and Sawyer Brown

How appropriate for my 200th post to be of something I love soo much eh? Rodeo!!!











There are really no words to describe Sawyer Brown's mad mad dancing skills.
He is one performer.

Here is a little 30 sec. clip I found on You Tube that really doesn't do justice, but you can get an idea

Oh, and I almost got pregnant during the concert. So yeah, THANKS Jerad for wandering off... I almost had a love child. Anyways, here are some concert pics:




After Sawyer Brown Tina and I went over to The Watering Hole for some drinking and dancing... I think I had more spilled on me than I drank. We were dancing to that "Cotton-Eyed Joe" song when this 40-50 year old man came up to us, looked at me said something like "right on!" Then gave me this huge kiss on my cheek, slapped his knee a few times and walked off. It was the weirdest thing. I am a magnet for horny drunks apparently...

Catching Up: Thursday, Fergie

Oh yes my friends... oh yes...


Dang, I forgot to make a fan shirt like these girls!

Catching Up: Last Monday, Al Jardine and Bo Bice

We met up with my mom and little sister Addy and saw Al Jardine and the Endless Summer Band who were free on the Grandstand. Al Jardine is a founding member of the Beach Boys and the lead singer of "Help Me, Rhonda" and countless other Beach Boy classics. The Endless Summer Band consists of Al, Matthew and Adam Jardine, along with members of the original Beach Boy tourning band from the 1960’s. Pretty much it sounded exactly like we were seeing the Beach Boys. Except WAY sad since the audience was pretty sparse.



After that, we headed over to see Bo Bice the runner up from American Idol season 4 who was on the free stage!!!! I'm not a fan or anything, but we did get into that season, and since it WAS free...

This is Jerad excited and waiting for the show:

And Me:
He actually was a really good entertainer and really engaged the audience:






Hmm, now that I've lightened my hair we are looking somewhat similar... except for the eye color.

The one where I pretend to be a Fergie Fan

I'm the F to the E, R, G, the I, the E,
And can't no other lady put it down like me.

I'm Fergalicious...

Or at least I will be tonight!!!

A few weeks ago my cell phone rang at work and I saw it was Beth. I knew she knew I was working so I figured it must be important or at least interesting so I answered it. Personal calls are totally fine, but its a quiet office so people totally listen. The conversation went something like this (the bold is to denote screaming):

Me: Hey, what's up?

Beth: sorry, I know you're at work...

Me: Its fine, what's up?

Beth: OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD

Me: Um, what?

Beth:Are you sitting down? You should sit down. Or stand up. Maybe you should stand up.

Me: ...

Beth: Are you ready for the best news EVER??? Guess what?

Me: (thinking: well, she wouldn't be this stoked about being pregnant again...) Hmm... I dunno, just tell me!

Beth: ewrujhrewouwherjhbef!!!!!!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Me: What did you say? (by this time everyone within earshot has stopped what they are doing and is staring at me as I bend lower over my desk trying to shield my phone incase the news is something I don't want everyone to hear... like some new "exciting" piercing or something...)

Beth: FERGIE IS COMING TO THE FAIR!!!

Me: (trying to recollect the few Fergie songs I have heard) Oh, thats really cool!!!

Beth: IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII KNOOOWWWWWWWWWW!

Me: :)

Beth: Can you scream with me? Ready?

Me: Er, Um, well... *whispers* eeeee!!!

I kind of forget the rest of the conversation... basically she was just REALLY excited... and I REALLY wanted to be, but I just wasn't a huge Fergie fan. I did like that My Humps song though! Which is Black Eyed Peas, not technically Fergie, but I digress...

Later that day my friend Tina got online who lives in San Fran and couldn't stop talking about Fergie either... then later my sister. Geeze, I'm just out of the loop. Beth asked me if I wanted to go, she said "If you aint got no money take yo broke ass home." Jk :) I thought it would be really fun!

So, Beth, Tina, Skylana, Melinda, Me and Tyson will all be there and being Glamorous. I voted that Tyson should either dress up as a pimp, or one of those mormons with all the wives. I hope Beth passed it on...

I did download the Fergie CD onto my itunes and am listening to it at work today and cramming like I have a midterm. I don't want to be the odd one out at the show tonight haha. I am hoping Skylana isn't a huge Fergie fanatic. She's my last hope.

Its okay though, what I don't know in lyrics I can def make up for in my mad mad dancing skills that are intensified with alcohol. Ladies, watch out!
