I am off to the George Michael Concert!

Today is finally the day of the Concert and I am so excited. I just thought I would post something funny! **warning..British Humor: You may not want to watch this infront of the kids.

George Michael on the Little Britian Show

Lou asks Andy who he wants to invite for his birthday... From a special episode for Comic Relief.

TOM BAKER: After an enjoyable day sitting on a bench, Lou is taking Andy home for his dinner.

LOU: Now, I know it's your birthday coming up, and I thought we could do something special. So I booked a table at the Harvester.

ANDY: Yeah I know.

LOU: Is there anyone you'd like me to invite?

ANDY: George Michaels.

LOU: You want me to invite George Michaels?

ANDY: Yeah.

LOU: We don't know him.

ANDY: Yeah I know.

LOU: Well, I don't think he'd come. Anyway, I thought you didn't like George Michaels, I thought you said that, "Jesus to a Child" aside, you found his output emotionally vapid.

ANDY: Yeah I know.

LOU: Well let's invite someone else instead. How about your brother Declan?

ANDY: George Michaels!

LOU: Oh my sweet saviour!

........................

LOU: So birthday boy, what would you like for your main?

ANDY: I want that one.

LOU: Ice cream... and, er what do want for your pudding?

ANDY: That one.

LOU: Garlic bread, okay. Uhm, ooh! I must just get something out of the van! Wait there.

...

LOU: Well! Hi Mr. Michaels! Well, you know! Oh! Ha ha! Well, you're here! Thank you so much for coming, he's going to be chuffed to bits.

GEORGE MICHAEL: That's quite alright. You know I like to my bit, you know.

LOU: Yeah, very nice of you. Uhm, Andy! I've got a surprise for you! This is George Michaels!

GEORGE MICHAEL: Hello Andy.

...

GEORGE MICHAEL: Er , nice to meet you!

...

GEORGE MICHAEL: Happy birthday!

ANDY: I don't like him. I want him to go. I prefer Tony Hadley.

LOU: I'm sorry Mr. Michaels, I'm sorry.

ANDY: Tell him that "Jesus to a Child aside", I find his output emotionally vapid.

LOU: Did you get that George?

GEORGE MICHAEL: Yeah, thank you!

Oh for the love of cars..

The other day I took Ian to a local museum, Amazement Square, with my friends Tiffany and Hallie.

Every 2nd and 3rd Weds. are 2 dollar days, so I had to take advantage of that. Too bad way too many kids were running around so Ian was almost getting trampled but he still did really enjoy himself.

We will for sure be going back! After that we had ourselves a little adventure. My car decided it didn’t want to start up so I called my Dad for help. For some reason my car likes him more than me :-P He was busy with work, so we had to wait awhile, and I couldn’t really keep Ian in the car due to the heat.

We spent our time watching the kids at the skate park, playing around with some things in the car, and checking out the scenery. A big thunderstorm decided it wanted to come up on us so I was praying my Dad would get there soon. Once he got there he couldn’t get it started (by this time my Mom and Sister had arrived to help me pass the time), so he sent them back to get the other car (since theirs was only a two seater), then 5 minutes after they left and before it started to pour rain he got it to start. Thank the Lord!

Jumping around again, my camera filters and remote arrived yesterday! Jump for joy! I can’t wait to really try them out.

The Goodbyes and the Hellos

My Husband left to go back home today and Ian seems to be taking it okay. I was proud of him, waving bye bye to his Dad. Ian and I have about 1 month and ½ left of a stay here then we go back (not looking forward to the trip alone with Ian). It is nice to be able to spend this much time with my family and friends because you do really start to miss them when you live that far away.

I do have some GREAT news! While walking around in DC, I saw a sign posted on a bus stop advertising “George Michael in Concert”. I did my little freak out and was exclaiming how I had to go. I have probably been waiting to see this man in concert since I was about 6 years old. The other day I popped online and practically begged by Dad to make the trip to DC with me to see him. He doesn’t seem to be excited at all and was trying to get me to ask my mom or sister to go but I told him it would be a great Daddy and Daughter bonding time. So, I purchased the two tickets for $75 a piece (ouch) in the uppermost level in hopes that someone will say Yes to go with me. Why they had to make the ticket prices topping over $1,000, who knows? But I am going! I never thought the day would come. Let me do a happy dance.

Not much else going on, but I did start going back to the YMCA to workout on the machines with my sister and friend. Fingers crossed that I can keep it up, you think? I certainly need to get fit and lose my thunder thighs. I wonder if just hopping on the elliptical will work.
Time to see if I can get a little nap in!
