rob thomas & me

this past weekend my gf stoner mcb came to visit! we had so much fun but man am i beat! *more on that later* stone is my concert/music friend. she is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to music and loves to jam outrooney, train, and keane [i think that's all?]  this is when she came to visit last summer [i didn't go with them to bite of lv bc i had landon]. we always have so much fun!
. i honestly don't know anyone who has gone to more concerts then her. we've previously gone to visit smashmouth,

she flew in friday and we hung out at home for a while, took landon to the library and went on a quick slurpee run [when landon insisted that he needed his own. that's his new thing- he needs his OWN treat, his OWN applesauce, his OWN ice cream. oh bother]. after a quick dinner at cafe rio we headed down to mandalay bay. i had previously seen keith urban there with justin years ago. it's a great venue, big and best of all, had seats [man i am old]. this weekend has been a wet one for vegas and it was thunderstorming all night. i heard others got rain but i have not seen a lick of it. some chick named kate earl opened up and she was a disappointment. goo goo dolls were next - they had previously come to suu but i didn't see them bc i didn't really have friends yet. they were amazing! great energy - lots of sweat. played a ton of their hits [which there are many]. by this time i was kinda feeling the old lady creeping in. i get super sick and b

loated at night so sitting in tight, warm quarters where i can't let my.... excess vapors escape [don't be gross, i'm talking about my burps.... sorta] - it all just got to me. they played for about an hour and a half. pretty great [and loud]. matchbox twenty was next and they played over an hour and a half. they were great too! they played more new stuff but still did their hits. man rob is one sweaty guy. like covered- and he has more bug eyes then you'd expect but he was awesome. but being honest, i was so sick at the end i was just counting down til we could go home [which wouldn't be until 1:30. with a 5:30 wake up time the next day with no nap in sight- that was rough].

saturday we dropped landon off at his mema's so we could have some girl time. we hit target for some clothes then i got a mani and stone got a pedi. i kept enviously staring at her bc it looked so amazing to have her feet rubbed... still green over it. after that we had lunch at buffalo wild wings [where i took 1st place in trivia!], picked up some shoes at payless then got the baby. that afternoon we went swimming at teryls with landon then went home for some chill time. i introduced stone to the magic known as 'pitch perfect', made some steak fajitias then rounded out the night at yogurtland. i was feeling sick so i took a bath and by the time i came out [8pm!] stone was in bed- hahaha i guess i wore her out too. we both got an early bedtime in and fell asleep listening to the monsoon outside our house.

sunday i made some delicious puffy french toast & bacon [ummmm.....bacon] then took her to the airport. kind of a lackluster trip but honestly, i am beat! i'm coming to realize i am not as young as i used to be - and i really don't want to be. sometimes i enviously look back on my college days and wish for that freedom/fun but really, i love my life now. i am the happiest i've ever been and i have been blessed so abundantly. landon is my life and i just love spending every second with him and justin. so i might not have as many concerts in my future but i'm so glad i've kept my good old friend stoner mcb.
