Here goes nothin'.....

OK, so....I've been staring at this blog for what seems like forever.  I want to do this so badly, but as a dear friend said about me...I can't figure out where to start.  It's true...always 9 million thoughts running through my head, it's so hard sometimes to sort them out.  This is on my mind, that annoyed me today, did that person look in the mirror before leaving the house, why did that asshole in front of me slam on his breaks when he has 5 car-lengths in front of him...and on and on it goes...no wonder I can't sleep at night!

Today I will start with the greatest thing to happen recently...U2!! 

So I've been looking for decently priced tickets FOREVER, not wanting to spend too much as it is golf season after all, so the money can be better spent on that.  Also, I have 2 other concerts this summer, so I feel already spoiled.   Anyway, the radio started a contest a few weeks ago (The U2 Threesome)...basically 3 people call in, if you all answer your song clip correctly, you all go to U2.  I listed to the radio from 6am - 6pm EVERYDAY trying to get through to win these tickets to no avail.  I knew every single song, but noooooo, couldn't get through. 

On Monday of last week, the station put a bar code on their online web cam, and had a scan & win type contest...so I scanned...and scanned...and scanned some more....entering under every single email address and phone number I could possibly think of, though all the while, truly believing that people like me NEVER win stuff.  Tuesday night, Dave & I are sitting in the Taco Bell drive through (bye bye diet...) and he's looking at my phone. 

He says "hey...check your voicemail" (anyone that truly knows me, knows not to leave messages, because for some reason I find it the absolute biggest pain in the butt checking them, and usually let them sit for a couple weeks before getting fed up).  I had called for a quote to get 3m done on my truck the day before, so I figured it was just the lady calling back...it could wait.  But he sat there rolling his eyes at me so I gave in...THANK GOD!  The happy little elfy voice of NOW radio's Taz greeted me on the other end of the phone, telling me I had won tickets to the show....OH MY GOD!!!! So here we are, sitting in the drive-thru, people looking at me shouting like a crazy person, and Dave getting just a little freaked out having never seen me like this before (so he says...I think he's forgetting...)

                    Some guy asked if I could take a picture of him & his friends...I said 'I'll do yours if you do mine' lol

Long story short (haha too late for that)...I won floor tickets & it was AMAZING :)  Dave had never been to a show that big before, let alone a U2 concert (although this wasn't by any means my first time at that rodeo!) so I was so happy to have the opportunity to introduce him to it.  He said it was good, but not worth staying up til 2am for lol.  We had a great time thanks to NOW Radio, and it was a fantastic way to kick off the summer.  I'm a little sad that I didn't run into any of a number of people I knew would be there and was looking forward to seeing...only a slightly drunken run-in with my life insurance guy...who stands at U2 talking about life insurance and investments???? Only me I suppose, only me....

                                The stage was like nothing I've ever seen...simply breathtaking....
OK, there it is...I have beaten the hump and done my first blog post...HOORAY! 

I have decided that I spend a lot of time lately focusing on the negative things in my life, and not near enough on the positives, so I'm going to try & be thankful for something new every day...Today I am thankful that I know Dave will be home for supper tonight, as it will only be this way for another month or so before he leaves for Winnipeg for 4 months...YAY for supper with my love! :)
