Welcome to my Mabelline Vacation! Don't worry, I'm not heading to LA without make-up...California doesn't deserve that scare. In fact, I'm heading out with some rather pricey make-up. lol
You've probably dropped in because I sent you a link to the blog, but in case you have no idea what's going on...I'm heading out on a pilgrimage! Next week I'm flying to LA to see my fav rock wild child, Adam Lambert, in concert. I'm flailing at the keyboard with excitement! I'm gonna be a total fangirl! Of course, while in the big city I'm going to see the sights and take advantage of some of the things the California LA has to offer that the South's LA doesn't...like the Chelsea Lately Show (I love her irreverence), the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (who doesn't swoon at a Scottish accent), tap my tootsies on Rodeo Drive, and take time for a hair cut (wonder if I'll recognize myself!). Oh, and did I mention Adam Lambert?!!!
I've loved the reactions I've gotten when I've told folks I'm flying all the way across the country to go to see Adam Lambert..."really?", "are you crazy?", "oh, he's so controversial", "I'm jealous", and my personal favorite: "by yourself?!!?" That one totally cracks me up! Where were those people when I would cry so hard I'd leave a trail of mascara in my wake under the weight of trying to be strong enough to be a mom and a dad to my son for 20 years? They obviously missed the memo about the difficulties of being a single parent vs. a fun trip across the country! But when I hear "OMG, you're really going alone?"... I just smile (because I'm laughing inside) and say "yep, ain't it great!". And it is!!
So stay tuned for my pics and posts as I leave Lower Alabama and head to Los Angeles!
(In case you missed it...I'm get to see Adam Lambert?! lol )

Hell, yes, you're going alone! Hell, yes!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd just why shouldn't you? You're a strong, independent, intelligent sista! Just being a mom gives you the street cred to step into anything - all by yourself. But, the fact that you were a dad, too, well - you not only have street cred -- you also have swagger!
So, when peeps say incredulously, "You're really going along?!" I repeat -- hell, yes! Full on - head on - no apologies - no explanations!
I, too, wouldn't think twice about going alone. There are just too many adventures in life not to take advantage of them!
Can't wait for more bloggies! And don't forget, I'm there with you - in your pocket.
Oh - and luv the blog title!
ReplyDeleteI knew you would get it, Rhett!! And I'm lol'ing at the "in your pocket" since that is so true...got my Droid with Twitter in my pocket all the time!! You rock!
