Umm Excuse Me I'm With the Band!

Slacker...yep that's me!

I'm surrounded by go getter's, literally. I couldn't even enjoy a nap in the sun this afternoon because my neighbor { hey Doris I love you, you are the best neighbor ever} was outside working hard on some home improvement project { a total attempt to make our yard look like Sanford and Sons} and all the banging would have kept me awake plus she would have seen me out there napping at 1:30 in the afternoon therefore knowing what a complete and total lazy ass her neighbor is!

I'll admit it, I am a very lazy person. I enjoy having someone else do things for me. I miss my cleaning company terribly and cannot wait for the day to come when I can hire them back! I enjoy laying in the sun sipping something to take the edge off an iced tea. I enjoy staying up late and sleeping in! I enjoy a quiet home. Whatever, judge away...because I don't care!

So in my attempt to get back in the swing of blogging and completely entertaining you with my Peg Bundy June Cleaver life I cut my afternoon nap to 45 minutes and brewed a cup of coffee. The things I sacrifice in the name of blogging!

To quote Simon..."off we go".

While on the cruise with my girlfriends I ran into someone famous. So famous in fact that I couldn't help but to run over and say hi! Who was it? I know you're dying to find out! Well it was none other than Rick Larrimore himself!

Crickets are chirping aren't they? You're wondering you the flying fun Rick Larrimore is right? So were my friends especially when I broke rule #1 and went off alone to meet some strange man!

I present, Rick Larrimore!

I know, I know he looks just like Rod doesn't he?!!?

I'm just beyond thrilled he didn't pull this costume out of his suitcase!

Shawn from Swaneesinger is his backup singer. I love Shawn! She and I have been bloggy friends for about a year so when I saw him I thought for sure she would be there too. You can only imagine my disappointment when she wasn't! I was able to find out that she was coming with him to Florida in 2 weeks so I made plans to met her while she was singing just 15 minutes from my house.

As soon as she walked in I knew it was her, she is more beautiful in person if that's at all possible! She said, " I hope you don't mind eating with the band?". Do you think she was afraid of eating alone with me. I had joked about harvesting her organs!??!

I enjoyed a wonderful lunch with her and the band and was thrilled that they pulled no punches with me. After the guys left we may or may not have replaced our puny dessert plates with lunch plates and hit the dessert table where I may or may not have been teased by the man in line behind me that I had exceeded my daily strawberry quota after piling strawberries on top of the 4 layer chocolate cake. When it came time to pay the bill I was told it was on the house because I was with the band. Oh, do you now how cool that was. "Ummm excuse me, I'm with the band!"

Since I was unable to make the show they were kind enough to let me sit in on the sound check before heading back to reality. It was a thrill to not only meet Shawn but to hear her beautiful voice as well. It was also nice being drooled over by the band, even though I found it slightly disturbing that the saxophone player liked my feet, they really know how to boost a girls ego!

Here's a shout-out to my new close and personal friends Rick, Steve, Jeff, Doug, Louie and Joe! Love ya guys and be nice to Shawn will ya, she's defiantly a rose between the thorns!

Do I look like Sasquatch next to her or what?
