Kill the Lights

-
The lights did go out when Luke Bryan took the stage on Friday, April 29th in Concord, California. He is currently one of the biggest names in country music and is one of my favorites. How could he not! Look at that face!


The very first song I liked of his was 'Rain is a Good Thing.' 'Whiskey makes my baby feel a little frisky.' That is also a line my baby nephew didn't understand so he never got it right when he was singing the song. Country music tells a story, has fun lyrics that aren't all about 'bitches and hoes' and money. And I'm OK with the sound of a banjo like on Taylor Swift's 'Mean.' But beyond that song, I have to thank my ex-boyfriend and Marine for turning me onto country. It all started with Kenny Chesney, who I have seen once live.

Luke's 'Rollercoaster' also hit home when I was talking to a man that I met in Boston on our 36-hour-trip but lived in Ottawa, Canada. It was an interesting 'friendship.' He crossed borders to visit me here in San Francisco and then we met up in Playa Del Carmen to discover we both never want to hear from each other again! Until then, the Luke's song reminded me of 'Maple Syrup,' as my friend and former Law Clerk of mine, Albert, would call him.  I haven't heard a peep from him since we gave each other an awkward hug goodbye from our shuttle bus. It's pretty funny. Perhaps this is inspiration for your next song, Luke. 

My current favorite song by Luke is 'Strip it Down.' So sexy. It's right up there with Jason Aldean's 'Burnin' it Down.' I will have to see Jason soon. He's grown on me lately. Especially with that super hot single.

The concert was really fun with Sunshine and Courtney.  I don't feel like I have done much outside of work and this was much deserved. It was a nice but windy day in Concord and we sat in the parking lot with our red solo cups, champagne and bag of Kettle Salt & Vinegar chips. A total cheat day. A cop on a motorcycle came by and told us we couldn't drink there. Seriously!!?!? Shoreline Amphitheater on the peninsula doesn't allow tailgating. No fun. But the cop was joking. Love it when they have a sense of humor. And men in uniform for that matter. Who agrees?!? We do!









Tailgating was accompanied with 'lady' talk and Periscoping about dating, sex and men. It was only live for 24 hours but it was pretty hilarious. My SnapChat story was even moreso the next morning. Funny how this Periscope video had the best numbers than our videos from the office talking about DW. Totally understandable. 

Pretty tipsy waiting in the long line to get in and the bathroom lines were no joke as well. We bought two bottles of overpriced wines by Cupcake. Man, the markup! Then we found our patch in the grass.



Dustin Lynch opened up the show and I missed a little bit of him and then Little
Big Town! I have loved them but my favorite is Tornado. It going out to a 'special' ex-husband (I'm Single post). They were great. Unfortunately no photos of the artists are posted here as I was too far away in the lawn. We had a great time and were a bit intoxicated. Thank you, Luke, for bringing us together.






Next up: two Los Lonely Boys concert in May.

The Bad Girls Club & Love Games, Sarah Michaels, IS the Wellness Shot!

I became a fan of the Bad Girls Club when a Season 3 marathon was airing (in 2008, is it?) and I just had the television on while I was doing chores around the house. Every now and then I’d hear “*BEEP* you, you *BEEP*ing *BEEP*!”, some screaming and “This is the Amber Show” do-do-do-do-do-Doo! Eventually I was glued to the screen and not doing chores anymore and spent most of the day laughing and thinking “ohnoshedidn’t!” They were NUTS! I don’t think I could live my life with a camera following me around and for the whole world to see and criticize. But I kept on watching and when fights broke out, my boyfriend would hear the screaming from another room and ask “WHAT are you watching?!?” I am not one for reality television. MTV had it with The Real World with Pedro, Puck, Pam and whoever… when it was in San Francisco. (GO GIANTS!) With all these Big Brother, The Bachelorette and other shows popping up, there were just too many to pick and choose from to watch. And I was never a

My Most Engaging Post Yet

Christmas is just days away. A storm in the Bay Area has passed. Two holiday parties were a success. But these past 18 hours have been a whirlwind for sure. Yesterday evening, after dinner, in our home office discussing the home we are in process of purchasing, holding a gray box from The Shane Company , my boyfriend (wearing a black long sleeved shirt and his Adidas pants with white paint stains from painting the condo earlier this year, and I in jeans, my Toby Keith blue tank top from his Las Vegas “ I Love This Bar ” restaurant, my blue SFSU zipper up sweatshirt, and my brown childhood blanket draped over my lap) got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. “Yeah.” I hugged him tight and kissed him repeatedly. He was shaking and said “I can’t believe you said ‘yes.” I couldn’t stop smiling and crying and saying “I love you.” And I couldn’t help but laugh when I called him my fiancé for the first time. Wow, we’re really engaged! Since we were in the process of negotiati

It's Gonna Be May

I'm sure you've seen it. If you have a friend named May, the *Nsync memes are overtaking your Facebook and Instagram feed, right? Tomorrow ends the month of April and I was 10 posts behind the daily blog post challenge. For this Monday Motivation post, I will keep going until I reach that 30 count. Better late than never! May is turning out to be a busy month. Not surprising for this One Busy Bee. I finally have a set schedule for my part time job as a Concierge at the Argonaut Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf. I really do like the job, what I'm doing, the hotel and staff, and how the time spent here contributes to my experience in the travel and tourism industry, all the while continuing in the hospitality industry as well. Working only about 30 hours a week, it will finally allow me to schedule workouts, get in some sort of sleeping pattern and work on my business as a Travel Agent . There is so much to do! So far since I received the month's work schedule
