"Oh What a Night!"

Good Friday afternoon PEEPS! It's been one heckuva 24 hours for me let me tell ya...as I mentioned yesterday, I was heading out last night with Melissa, Tamie, and my sister Jackie, to go and see cutie-patootie-sexy-babealicious DAUGHTRY last night with Lifehouse and Kavo opening for him, right?! Melissa got here right at 3:30, we hopped in my van, stopped in Millet, picked up Tamie and headed up to do a bit of shopping and supper in South Common Edmonton. All's good...life's good...we're all out without our kids or DH, no stresses of home, etc....you get the point right?! We left South Common around 6:20 to go and pick up Jackie in Sherwood Park. I was just turning into Sherwood Park and all of a sudden, my poor Red Baron (that's what I call my van) had no get-up-and go....no drive, no reverse, no first, no second, NOTTA! So, we had to coast to a place in the intersection where we wouldn't get hit or block traffic...lol...ya, we got A LOT of looks - 3 women broken down - drove us crazy people laughing at us and staring like we just had a major collision or something LOL...anyhew...poor Jackie is waiting at home frantically wanting out of the house and long story short, the transmission is shot and we are waiting for a Ford Dealership in Edmonton to call us and let us know the damage and how much. We might just have to trade it off and get something else..not sure yet.

We DID make it to the concert - a bit late and frazzled, but we made it and Lifehouse and Daughtry were AMAZING!! Tamie's DH picked us up in Sherwood Park after the concert and then my DH met us at the Millet overpass to take Melissa and I back to our house....so needless to say, we are all a very tired bunch today - Melissa and I didn't get home until around 2 a.m. and she had to work this morning at 8, so I hope she's surviving LOL.

Another epic adventure in my life - soooo glad I was able to spend it with 3 of my wonderful PEEPS! Thanks girls for helping me NOT cry and lose it right there in the middle of the intersection! LOL...luv ya all! xoxoxo

Here's looking forward to the next adventure....
