Black Friday Shopping

nobody@vox.com(Crush-Monkey) — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 23:59:13 -0500

Some people got some great deals after spending 12 hours or more in front of stores lining up. I was not one of them! LOL!

There is nothing that could get me out of the house at 2am to go shopping unless maybe it was U2 related.....of course! HA!

Much later in the day around 4:30 my Mom and I ventured out. We went to four stores in total. We had success in all four stores, but in each place we had no problem finding a parking spot AND didn't find big crowds either.

Tomorrow I have a few stops to make too and hope it's just as easy!

News I needed to Know!

nobody@vox.com(Crush-Monkey) — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 00:47:47 -0500

Oh wow.

I am behind in the news.

Thank goodness for Perez Hilton to update me. Here is what I found out in under 5 minutes by checking his blog. LOL!

- There is a Wall Street 2 movie being filmed. It inclues Michael Douglas, who somehow has the same hair he had in the first movie?!

- Britney Spears is taking her tour to Australia?! Go Britney!

- Stephen King is writing a sequel to The Shining. That book and movie still scare me today!

- Katie Holmes went to see New Moon in NYC. Wonder if she read the books?!

U2 to headline Glastonbury in 2010

nobody@vox.com(Crush-Monkey) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:04:16 -0500

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggh! This was the sound I made (loudly) when I read the news that U2 would be headlining the Glastonbury Festival this coming June.

I had read the rumors over the weekend, and I guess it gets rumored each year that U2 will play there.

Anyway, after reading the rumors I did a little research into the event. Glastonbury is over 100 miles outside of London. There will be more than 170,000 people in attendance all festival style.

170,000 people??! Holy HELL!!!!

Back in 2001 I did Slane Castle and that was 80,000 people at an all day concert. It was a long day but amazing.

I am 9 years older now and to be honest I don't think I could be in a crowd of 170,000 people.

So, I guess it's OK that that it's already sold out right?

Oh, and the reason for the Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggh!!! Glastonbury is the only date U2 will play in the UK and Ireland in 2010. Really?! Seriously?! WTF???

Funeral Saturday

nobody@vox.com(Crush-Monkey) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:34:56 -0500

This morning I went to a funeral mass at 11am. It was at my church so it was very close by. I sat in my car by myself trying to get up enough courage to get inside. Plus I knew I wanted to be seated before the casket and the family got there.

My friend Karen's Dad passed away on Wednesday. He had been suffering since February so in a way it's a blessing that his pain is over. Plus his wife passed last year and they had been married for 50 years and now they are together again.

My friend herself wasn't at the funeral. She is in Intensive Care in the hospital with complications from diabetes. She has been there since Wednesday. I went to visit her last night for a little bit and she just seems so very sad and tired.

I don't know if I could deal with missing a parents funeral mass, but I think it's all about the relationship you had with them while they were alive. I am sure her Dad would want her to take care of herself and get better. Parents are unselfish like that.

My Mom had a hair appointment at 10am and the funeral was at 11am so she wasn't sure if she was going to be able to make it. I was sitting on the end of pew and must've been deep in thought because next thing I knew someone was trying to get into my row with me. My first thought was, UM THERE IS A LOT OF SPACE HERE GET YOUR OWN ROW! But, then I realized the person was hugging me and it was my Mom. She wanted to be there for my friend and to make sure I was OK too.

The priest told some great stories about Karen's Dad and there was even some laughter. But, then of course they played Amazing Grace and Ave Maria and I was all weepy. It didn't help that the last song they played as the casket was being walked out was 'America the Beautiful' and my Mom turned and said to me 'Don't forget when it's my turn that's one of the songs I want'

It's been a weird week. Even my evil brother asked me if I was OK last night.

There will be no tears next week!
