The Eagles Concert etc......

I know that it has taken me some time to get around to writing about the amazing concert that my mom and I went to on Sunday, but now I'm here to say that it was FANTASTIC! I was a little concerned that due to age of the members of the band that it wouldn't sound exactly like what I remember hearing from the Eagles while growing up. Never fear, they didn't disappoint anyone in the Fedex Forum. It was like hearing the songs straight off the CD's that I used to "borrow" from our momma. The concert was three hours long, and no one was complaining. It was like the time just flew by through all the songs that they sang. Many of the background pictures and videos were just graphically awesome. During, "Life's been Good" they showed a slide show of some of their old videos and some pictures of them hanging out when they were much younger. Joe Walsh's guitars changed every single song and they were all bright colors and he was so much fun to watch. His mouth moved with the notes he was playing, and Mom just kept laughing and reminiscing on the past times that she has seen them. When the first chords of "Hotel California" were played, a deafening amount of screaming started and while looking around I realized that this band that has been touring for 37 years has such a wide variety for a fan base. As the background picture of the actual album cover came up behind the band, everyone started singing along with them. Most everyone around me knew every single word. There were people of all ages there, which gave Mom and I entertainment all night long. "WoW" As Don Henley sang, while playing the drums I might add, Mom leaned over to me and said, " Wonder how many times they have played this song, seriously?" After 37 years, I bet they don't even know! It's a neat thought though, all the cities and even countries that have heard or even seen the Eagles live singing the classic rock songs that I have heard my entire life. My Dad had a radio in his shop when I was younger and it was never turned off. It played Rock 103 everyday all day long! Some of the older rock and roll songs make me remember being a little girl in her Daddy's shop running around with not a care in the world. One of those songs that always makes me think of this story is "The Boys of Summer" by Don Henley. When he started singing it a smile came over me thinking of a fun time of my life. Now this song is not an Eagles song, however; they did play it. Very cool how we all got not just an Eagles concert but a glimpse at some of their solo work as well. The traffic wasn't that bad on the way or on the way out, overall; great concert and great memory with my Mommy :) I could go on and on about the concert but it's a "you had to be there" kind of experience, one that I will never forget.

Finally, I think my little nephew can actually see us, Yay!!! He's so funny with all his facial expressions and now his fake cry. Kasey says that he pulls that on his Yia-Yia so she will pick him up. Fortunately he doesn't have to cry like that to his Aunt Meggie because I pick him up every single chance I get, right Kasey? LoL. His mommy thinks we are spoiling him and I think that she is exactly right. I want him to be a little spoiled and always want to come be with us when his parents don't give that sweetie anything he wants. Umm.... I can see now that he will be just like his "Ant" Taylor. Anything that little princess wanted I would jump up and get it promptly no matter what it was. She is so proud of Grey. She has been telling her classmates that there is a new baby in her family, even though I don't he was what she expected him to be before he was born. For months I said that she thought he would come out her age.

The holiday season is upon us and I'm kinda dreading it this year. I've been jokingly telling my mom that it didn't matter what the Thanksgiving day schedule is because I think I will be sick on that day ;) I know that I shouldn't be that way. Family is what is really important and I should want to spend all kinds of time with them, but so much pressure comes along with it. The running around trying to get the food, preparing the food, presenting the food, and eating the food. For those of you who are reading this that actually know me, also knows that I normally only eat the food. Meggie doesn't really cook. My family knows this and they love me anyway. This is another reason I should go hang with them and be happy because they just love me anyway. All jokes aside, I have so much to be thankful for these days even though I'm not so good at remembering them on a regular basis. My life is interesting but I do have so many people in it that are wonderful. This will be Grey's first Thanksgiving. Well, its his first holiday that he has to make the rounds with the rest of us and none of us are really all that jealous hehe. I'm sure that it will be uneventful as usual, but then again it's my strange family and you never know. This morning I read a resume that was sent to me by a LPN that is anxiously seeking a job at the lab. And on her resume she listed that she was experienced in "family dynamics". I laughed on the inside thinking with my family I could not only put that on a resume, but I could list expert. LOL. I love you guys. Enough rambling for now, I will catch up later on when I have more to report. Buh-bye.
