Its Time To Come Out Of The Closet

HA! What were YOU thinking?

What An Adventure

Slash Kicked Butt!
Gettin Old Bud!

For those of you who may not know I am a concert junkie! I have loved live music since my very first concert: Rick Springfield and Corey Hart. I was fourteen and convinced I was the coolest girl EVER! Been to a lot of country bands too. Not too much of a fan of "new" country but have seen tons of shows. I am sure I have seen well over a hundred bands including BB King (my brother's favorite and I have those memories of seeing Mr.B with him forever) and taking my mom to see Pavarotti. (now that i could have passed on but it was her birthday and she loves her some Pavarotti)

I took my nephew to his very first concert. He was 10 and we saw Three Doors Down and Saliva. He was fascinated and now plays guitar and is a music junkie too. Ozzy was quite the event for him. Never been a big Ozzy fan myself. He just wasnt my scene. He still isnt but I got a kick out of watching Jake and all the people there. Slash was terrific and I enjoyed that bunches. Man did the creeps come out of the woodwork. Some good, some funny, and some had to be checked.

We stayed at a really nice place within walking distance to the show. I have a very low tolerance of BS and as Jake says......"You always have something to say". Well, sometimes. I am all for fun and have a terrible potty mouth myself but there is a time and a place. We got on the hotel shuttle because it was so cold. Our little bus was full of drunk people in their 50's who dont realize the 70's are over. This "woman" on the bus proceeded to talk in a very loud voice and announced that she had a camera stuffed into her private parts except you can guess the words she was using to describe them. After the 4th time she said it, I had enough. I asked her very politely to chill out because I had a fifteen year old with me and then I stared her husband down daring him to say something. He didnt and she apologized several times. I cant believe I had to say something. What is wrong with people? Yuck!

On the way back from the show we almost got mugged. Now that was awesome. I will not allow anything to happen to my baby boy under any circumstances and let the guy know that I was NOT THAT ONE and to go on. The hotel called security when we made it into the lobby and the guy disappeared. I was really surprised at the things that went on. We stayed at a high end hotel but they must have been offering a "trashy people" discount.

None of that really matters. We had a ball. Jake loved every second of it and crashed the second we walked into the room. I am so glad that I can share things like that with him. His daddy loved music especially jazz and blues and Jake is a little rocker. He informed me "not to worry, I will still take you to stuff like that when your old". God bless him.

I missed my babies lots. One night away and I couldnt wait to get home for bunny kisses and snorgles.

Oh, Ozzy stayed in the same hotel as us. We didnt see him but loots of people did. I thought about running up and down the halls yelling "SHARON" but I refrained. These are pics from last night.

Leave Me Alone, I'm Sleeping!

Grandma tucked me in
Why did you kiss me? You woke me up!

Since I'm up, how about a snack?

Going to my forever home on Saturday.

Hello Everyone! Jakob made a mature decision. He knows he will be driving soon, playing with his band, and working so he wont have much time for me. My new home will be with Auntie Christina's good friend Dee Dee. She had to help her good girl Lodi across the bridge last year and now feels its time for a new friend. I am moving to her house tomorrow. I will live indoors and be the only critter there so I will be SPOILED! My new mom bought me a new bed, some toys, and some chewy things! She is waiting for me to come. She thinks my new name will be Blitz but she wants to watch my personality to see if that is right.

Oh whats with those furry things around here? There is a black one called Mojo and she really scared me bad. I was trying to look at her and she lunged at me. I ran back in the crate and cried a little. They sure are grumpy!

Bostons, Babies, and Blizzards.

If you look carefully you can see some chickadees eating the food I put out for them.

Snow drifting up on the storm door. 8 degrees with a wind chill of -15. God, will winter never end? Global warming? More like an ice age.

My nephew and his new companion. Saturday night I was driving down the highway. The car in front of my clipped this little guy and of course kept going. I opened the car door and asked him if he was alright. He hopped right in. Jake had a fit when he saw him. Called mom and immediately started begging. They are keeping him for now. I located his "owner". He was not in a good situation and not really wanted back. The owner is "thinking" about letting Jake keep him. The guy wont be getting this little doll back. Ooops, sorry guy, he ran away. At least that is what I am going to say if he calls back. (Boston is quite safe at the nephews, will be neutered and got an all clear check up from the vet)

For those of you who asked about the babies. Their momma is the bunny we rescued a while back from the backyard of a lady who thought maybe rabbits laid eggs. We were desperately hoping she wasnt pregnant. She presented Heartland with 11 babies. 2 babes didnt make it. All others are healthy, safe and so is mom. The solid color kid is a bruiser compared to the rest and there is a little runt we are calling Peanut. They are some little toots.

We love and adore these babies but now there are 10 more that need forever homes.

Please spay and neuter your pets.
