1. I just ordered tickets for Dave Matthews and Jason Mraz on April 25th!!! I wasn't going to go, because nobody wanted to go with me (wtf is wrong with people) and Hub haaaates going to concerts, but then I looked on ticketmaster.com and found some gooooood seats right by the stage and had a "what the hell" moment and 3 minutes later they were mine, all mine. :-)

The plan? I'm not sure yet, but I think it will consist of bribing Hub in some way, shape or form, or if it comes down to it, I will threaten him. Anyway- he's taking me, and he will like it. I have *never* made him take me anywhere he didn't want to go (except for one bad Manheim Steamroller Christmas Concert that I even was miserable at, but the tickets were free.) (He still hasn't let me forget that.) Anyway, this is NOT Manheim Steamroller, this is DAVE MATTHEWS for crying out loud. Who wouldn't enjoy that? Except for my music-hating husband. :-( 

Oh- also, this assures me that I will not be getting a birthday present this year either, but I'm ok with that because this is my favorite band that I have always wanted to see live.

2. During THAT, I see that Coldplay is coming June 6. OMG I want to go sooooooo bad, but no way can we afford that, especially after this little expenditure. IF ANYONE THAT READS MY BLOG IS SUPER RICH AND LOVES ME, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO BUY ME TICKETS TO COLDPLAY ON JUNE 6. xoxoxoxo

3. My boy is going to be FOUR in less than two weeks. I can't believe it. We're having a Pirate Party, so that should be fun. He's so excited. I'm trying to think of some kind of fun/original/non-lame activity we can do and I'm coming up short. It's just going to be a handful of kids there so nothing will get out of control. It's going to be here at the house. If the weather is nice they'll probably play outside, but I still think I should have something planned. I thought about a treasure map thingy, but they're only 4-5 years old, I don't think they'd really get it. Ideas? Suggestions?

4. I have the only dog in the world that can manage to break the Dyson made ESPECIALLY for hairy animals. Seriously, he just walks around and you can see the hair flying off him. It's disgusting. My Dyson BROKE because it was so full of his hair, and I don't mean the container. Like all the insides were just clogged up with blobs of yellow Graham-hair. If DYSON can't make an ANIMAL HAIR VACUUM that will withstand my dog's hairy ass then I guess it's hopeless. I looooove animals. I love dogs and cats and birds and everything, but I wish they weren't such a pain in the ass. lol My next pet will be hairless, noiseless, poopless and odorless. Is that too much to ask? No seriously, after reading authorwithin 's latest post about her new macaw I am back to my life-long desire to own a beautiful, people-friendly bird. Which brings me to...

5. I did some research, and I want one of these little beauties:


They're called Sun Conures. Aren't they stunning? And apprently very people-friendly, affectionate and make great pets. When greeted with my new desire, Hub made proclomations like "Absolutely not." and "Are you crazy?" and "Hell no." But, maybe with time, he'll come around. :-p

Before I get any comments from the peanut gallery, yes I am fully aware that birds are neither noiseless, odorless or poopless. But they are soooo pretty!
