Rascal Flatts!

At the last minute AJ got me some Rascal Flatts tickets so I called up my initial and birthday month twin, Kristen and we opened our birthday palooza month last night by seeing them and Taylor Swift! FRONT ROW.Thanks AJ!Btw he got a wisdom tooth taken out yesterday and was in pain and sucking on gauz but he still let me go :) Most fun I've had in a long time, thanks Kristen!I rode the MAX for the first time last night!Glad I wasn't alone on it that's for sure! We ate at Macaroni Grill where Kristen told the waitress we were there for both our birthdays so we were serrenaded the birthday song in italian by a 21yr old Opera major.WOW.Surprising part is, when we wanted to make a request the boy didn't know any Andrea Bocceli or Josh Groban songs!Crazy boy is never gonna graduate.Ahhh and then to the concert.....

Taylor Swift opened for them.I liked her before but now I LOVE her.She was SO GOOD live, sounded just like you hear on the radio.And she was just so dang cute.Can't wait for her to have her own headlining tour.

The people on the floor level were cool and all but we were at EYE level. I've seen RF in Texas, SLC, and now PDX and this one was by far my favorite.I had one of my 'moments' when they first came one stage.The set lights and everything started going nuts so you knew they were coming out and I started recording it and the tech guy working right next to me tapped me and did some hand gesture and I thought he was saying I couldn't video tape so I stopped.We were hearing the lead singer and I said to Kristen "I hear him but where is he??" and she said I don't know!Then after staring at the blinking stage for a while we look to the OTHER side of the stage where EVERYONE else was clapping and screaming towards, we were the only ones facing the wrong stage.Woooops.Guess you had to be there.Summary of the show-LOVED it.

I finished another diaper bag set in 24 hrs the other day.I was stressing out soooo bad because I had a due date for it and after being sick for a week meant it was crunch time. I had started the original bag but didn't like where it was going as I was 'winging' the pattern as I normally do.So Thursday I went to Joanns, bought completely different fabric and a pattern, YES I SAID it, I BOUGHT A PATTERN.I feel like I just got a super awesome grade on a test but I used the book and cheated.But it did take a lot of stress off, and of course I didn't stick EXACTLY to it....mostly because I don't know all the sewing lingo in the instructions so I skipped those.That's dark denim with the print btw, not black.Hard to tell but it's a messenger bag, a diapers and wipes holder, and a bib.Usually by the time I finish a bag I'm ready to be done with that print but this is one I wanted to keep!Oh well,comin' your way Karrie!Now it's time to pack up the sewing machine....

In weird and random news, the other night I was cooking-and that's not the weirdest part,I partially opened this can of corn to drain the liquid out and it just kept coming and coming...then I opened it all the way only to find a few pieces of corn in there.Weird.Maybe I accidentally bought the lower calorie can.
