Wednesday

What's up Wednesday?

Last night our school had Ladies Night Bingo! It was a really fun fundraiser for the Home and School Association. No one from my table won but I am glad I went. I am really going to try to attend events for the next few years at least!

Our church and school is going through some construction for the next bit here and we are going to be worshiping in the fellowship hall until just before Holy week. Bah. However it will be nice when it's done and they are trying so hard to decorate and make the room feel more "sanctuary" and less "basketball hoops and cafeteria window."

Guess we will see how it goes on Sunday.

Overnight, like real actual overnight, our tree lost most of it's leaves and our yard looks like this right now:

Yikes. I can't decide if I should go out there and rake for a while this afternoon or whether to just leave it until Saturday when Husband can mow it all down and bag it up. He can't get to it until then because it's pitch dark before he even leaves work. Drat that saving time thing. But I am loving that it's sunny today, it makes ALL the difference in our attitudes that's for sure.

Tomorrow my parents are coming! Woot! Because on Friday my mom and I are going to the Elton John concert. I was super excited about the concert anyway but when I realized on this world tour he had United States stops in Las Vegas, Indiana and of all places my area? That makes it even more fun. On the Facebook event, there are posts from people around the world flying in just for this concert. Like people from Ireland are coming here?! AKA to a very uninteresting, not much to see, smallish city at best. I have no idea how Elton John's people picked this venue but I am not going to complain!

PLUS his new album comes out on Friday so that's pretty cool too. When I saw Prince in concert in 2004 everyone got a copy of his brand new CD, maybe Elton will do something like that too? I mean, doubtful but maybe he feels like channeling his inner Oprah?

Anyway I am excited and ready to check seeing him off my bucket list. Is it weird that my bucket list is comprised mainly of musical legends I want to see live? Still haven't seen Cher...  but I get to see Elton John. Now, my mom is really the Elton fan but I have definitely come to appreciate him. I am so excited that we have some fun things to do together. We saw Neil Diamond (musical legends live I tell you!) once in 2007 and it was so much fun! I hope one day M will want to join us as she gets older!

Time will tell!
