and cheers to a great weekend and boy did i need it!!!  it was a rough week...

but for now, let me focus on the positive.  geez, i don't know where to start?! i had one of the best weekends this summer by far.  it all started with (another) 80's concert at the orange county pacific amphitheater with my bff paulie (hubby didn't want to go).  we were ify about going because paulie's a little under the weather but we ended up making it and boy are we glad we went.  the only seats available were the $50 pit seats so we took them and we scored!  we were right in the front...NICE!  i don't think i've ever been that close plus we were able to get up and dance which we love to do.  back it up...beep!  beep!  beep!

it all started with patty smyth with scandal.  i'm not really familiar with her or the band but paulie was and  he almost sang every song by heart.  i told him "you're so lame".  LOL!!!  the one song i do remember was "the warrior" (?).  she sounded great, looked great and put on a good show.  she left the stage and walked around with the crowd...nice touch.

during our 20 minute potty/beer/smoke break we made some friends.  seriously i don't know what they put in the water in the OC but almost every one looks great, lots of plastic too let me tell ya.  it almost looked like a cougar convention/big boob fest. anyway, everyone was pretty friendly which is nice when you're feening for a cig... i know gross..whateves.

the second band was berlin and y'all know how much i love berlin.  we just saw them not too long ago but this time since we were so close we enjoyed the show even more.  the lead singer (terry, i think her name is) still sounds good but looks even more amazing.  that lady is in great shape...you go gurl!

the last band was pat benetar with her hubby neil giraldo.  they look great and she sounds amazing.  what a great show they put on and they played for a long time.  she sang all her old hits and there was one particular song she didn't want to sing but did anyway, too bad i can't remember it...one too many stellas...bwahaha!!!

 

what more can i say?  good times! 
more pics here....we also went to a dodger game on sat. night with my bros and to the beach on sunday to check out the volleyball players but more on that later...

T-Mobile

@ another 8Os concert! Killers seats.

boy was this weekend hot or what?  well here is los angeles it was probably about 90 degrees all weekend and i almost thought it was summer time!  i was just getting used to the 70 degree weather and let me tell ya, i was in heaven!

on saturday afternoon we went to the pet expo and we should have skipped it because it was super crowed and way too hot to be walking around...plus fighting the crowds was a pain!  i told hubby that the pets smelled better than a lot of the peeps walking around, bumping into you and not saying "excuse me".

we got to see some adorable doggies that i wanted to take home that were up for adoption.  i probably shouldn't have checked that building out because i got all teary eyed looking at all those sad faces. 

we got to see saw some awesome anacondas, birds and other animals...

we didn't spend too much time there like i said it was too hot and too crowded.  later that evening we had dinner with my family to congratulate my brother raymond for passing a huge IT test for work on saturday.  congrats bro!!!


poor hubby got sick later that evening, i mean really sick...vomiting, fevers and all.  he is feeling better today, not sure if it was something he ate or the new antibiotics he is taking for his sinus infection.

sunday i met ana (mamirosa), her daughter sofia, her bff andrea, her bloggie buddies; vero (la vero), her sons and ana (ana banana) @ plaza mexico.

we had so much fun chit chatting and getting to know each other better.  it really is a small world! 

we had lunch, (thanks again to ana banana and vero for treating!  you guys are too kind).  *hugs*

dessert, well i shouldn't really call it that.  mamirosa, ana, and i got a spicy and sour shaved iced called "el diablito" that i couldn't finish.  too spicy but it certainly was good!  now i know why it's called that...little devil!
sofia is such a pretty girl. oh my goodness i cannot get over how adorable she is!

i cannot wait for this weekend...i'm so excited for the work day to be over.  i have a hair appointment after work then dinner with hubby.  we have a baby shower to go to this weekend so i need to go by target to get a couple gifts.  but i am more excited because we're going to the orange county fair.  i love, love, love going to the fair.  we go every year and i always get excited once summer is here (even though i can't stand the heat).  we like to sample most of the food and their kettle corn is thee best.  omg, i can taste it as we speak.  we love to check out the booths, contest winners and my fave has to be the livestock.  i look forward to the fair as much as i look forward to the holidays.  here are some of my pics from last year....
