Yesterday was a total blast. My friend Laura and my mother arrived at our apartment around 3:00. We had a couple drinks then headed downstairs to leave for Hamilton. When the elevator opened, my mother said “Oh look! Someone has a limo waiting for them!” I just said “How lucky.” and walked toward the front door. Jan asked why I was walking out that door, since we usually go out the back door to the parking lot. I said that I wanted to check out the limo. She and Laura stayed in the lobby while I walked up to the limo. The driver opened the door and I got in. My mother was in absolute shock and said to Laura “I can’t believe she went inside! I didn’t raise her like that!” About 10 seconds later, they both finally walked out the front door and the limo driver said “Your ride is here.” They both still just stood there, in a state of shock. They eventually got in with their mouths hanging open. Needless to say, we had an amazing ride to Hamilton!
Here’s a shot of our reflection in Downtown Hamilton:
We went out for dinner to kill some time before the show, which started at 8:00pm at Copps. It was during dinner that I warned my friend that I will probably lose it when I see Elton walk on stage. Oh my – that was an understatement! I totally broke down and was sobbing like a big dork! Laura gave me a hug. Either that or she was just trying to throw me on the floor so I would stop embarrassing her.
The concert was unbelievable. He went on for about three hours, non-stop, mostly his greatest hits and classics. We all had an amazing time. The ride back in the limo was great too. Here it is back at the apartment:
After all of the excitement yesterday, today was very lazy. Chuck and I went out for groceries, then spent the rest of the day vegging out. For dinner, he made us turkey burgers. Guess which one is his???
Today’s symptoms: Very weak and tired, but it was completely worth it! Oh, I also have a bad sinus headache.
