GIRL WEEKEND W/JOSH

Friday: I got food poisoning by what I have no idea... but by like 4am Sat. morn I had made up my mind to call Susi and tell her I just couldn't go. :( Then by 8am I had determined I would force myself to go because everything was already paid for and it would have been bad to back out. So I texted Susi to see if we could wait till 11am to leave. but I sooo dreaded to leave for fear of being sick on a 4 and a half hour road trip. She picked me up around 11:20am and we we headed out.

We took my brothers GPS and he was all just follow it and we believed we would be fine...
I hooked up my Zune and we sang Josh Gracin, Taylor Swift, and Kelly Clarkson the whole way there. At around 4:30pm we were in Dallas trying to find our hotel in Irving. The GPS was like all freaked cause there was so much road construction it didn't understand anything.... and it put us on a toll road... there were big orange signs saying pay toll next... last free exit before toll road... we're like crap it put us on a toll road and we're gonna have to stop to pay but there was no place to pay and we were soooo confused and lost and we couldn't figure out wth happened.

We finally made it to our hotel and we decided to do our makeup then go to Walmart so I could pick up an SD card for my cam before the concert. The concert started at 10:30 pm at Billy Bob's in Fort Worth, Tx. The GPS actually got us there and we valet parked since it was so late at night in a place we didn't know. We got there a little early since we didn't want to get lost on the way. The concert layout was a bunch of long tables put in rows to sit at. I got a Shirley Temple and so did Suse. While she was at the bar ordering our drinks she asked the bar tender about the toll road we had came in on... and sure enough it was for toll pass holders only and we had like been on it illegally ROFL. Wasn't our fault that there were noooo signs telling of such a thing and that out of towners had no idea what all the orange signs meant ROFL we just expected to pay cash toll...
oh well

The concert went great and Josh was awesome. We always manage to sit in the perfect place when he sneaks in from the back and surprise the crowd. Susi and I had 4 cameras sitting on the table taking pics... we were soo stalkerazzi. Afterward we waited in line to buy a new t-shirt and meet him for the second time. That makes seeing him 3 times in less then 6 months... mhmm we love him that much ;)
Everyone who ever meets him always says he is like the nicest sweetest person ever; which he is. He sat there and signed whatever you wanted took hundreds of pics with people and stayed there till everyone who wanted a meet and greet got one. He's the only artist we've ever ran into that is so dedicated to his fans... which is why we love him so much! Meeting him this time was all fumbled up though the guy selling t-shirts was slow and some girl behind us kept cutting inline to buy stuff so when I got up to Josh I had nothing for him to sign cause I was waiting on the t-shirt guy to give me change and stuff then I bend down to get a pic and Josh is all "who's got the cam... but suse was in the middle of buying her stuff and was all "AHHHHHHHH" ROFL Then instead of saying somethine to him while we waited I just stood there all star struck. Then I go to take Susi's pic with him and she had pushed the flash down so when I took it the pic was all blurry and I'm like "OH NO it's all blurry and she's like you gotta put the flash up and I'm all "HOW?!?!?!?!?" meanwhile Josh is just staring at us probably thinking what idiots we are.

After the concert we headed out and picked up whataburger and took it back to our hotel room where we watched American Pie Band Camp. LOL
Sunday morning we got up at 9:30am to make sure and make it down to the free breakfast. Then Susi got a call from her Aunt saying that her mom had fell and that they were going to the hospital and she most likely broke her hip (which she did)... it scared Susi half to death but since there was nothing Susi could do she decided we didn't need to rush back home since we were so far away anyway. We then got ready and headed out to Grapevine Mills Mall at 11:30am.

We walked around there for little bit then ate at Boston's Pizzeria then headed to my brothers house since I had yet to see their house, horses, etc. + Susi had to pick up some stuff she had left there. I got a tour of everything and then we left there at 6:30pm to head home. We decided to stop at Mcdonalds for ice cream cones and then went to Susi's house to download all our pics and switch cars all up so I could drive the rental back and she could then take me home.
Our trip was really fun even though it started to go downhill Sunday.
I'm so glad that we went. Josh is awesome *giggles* And Susi's mom had surgery Monday and is doing fine.

I ended up being really disappointed with my new camera though. I was all excited cause it had a 12X zoom and I had an 8gb card so I recorded like most of the concert only to have the audio be completely useless because the mic was too sensitive. So now all I have is HD vid of Josh singing static *cries*

NEW YEARS 2009

New Years Eve as I do every year I make pizzas and we pig out on junk food and sparkling stuff. :) My mom bought new years noise makers and hats for us all to wear and we flipped between like 6 channels trying to avoid all the weirdo singers and then missing our faves cause we would keep changing the channels but we settled on Dick Clark and Ryan Seacrest. The after party with Fergie was really good too since they had people I liked like Jesse McCartney on there whoohoo! Totally turned the tv up as loud as it would go so I could blare "How Do You Sleep" ROFL
New Years morning my mom woke me up to make sure we didn't miss the Rose Bowl Parade but every year I manage to fall asleep during the last half ROFL The floats are totally cool but after seeing 20 of them and listening to a complete list of flower ingredients it gets kinda tiring ROFL but I love to watch it especially Paul James cause he's from here.

My mom wanted me to of course make black eyed peas and cornbread for luck or fortune or w/e it's supposed to bring you in the new year. She turned the oven on for me and as I was cooking at the other side of the kitchen I kept smelling something and was like ewww the oven needs to be cleaned.... then I remembered when I made pizzas the night before a part of crust had fell to the bottom of the oven and I had forgot to get it out. I turned around and the thing was on fire in the oven. I was like AHHHH FIIIRE! and no one freakin came! I was like wth?!?!?! Then I was like DUDE FIRE HELLO! Finally my mom came and was like huh? I thought you were yelling SPIDER so I just didn't come. (gee thanks mom) My dad finally came and blew it out but it had already burned itself almost out. Youtube G totally haunts me with that one vid about his chocobutt and burning up the frozen pizzas.
Oh ya totally sat on 3 pieces of chocolate the other day and had a huge mess ... not even getting into that story..



I just got done watching The Dark Knight. I had really wanted to see it to watch Heath Ledger (he was freakin scary in it). I barely got through it. It was was tooo graphic/suspenseful/sad for me. Clooney is still that BEST batman and Robin, batgirl and Mr.Freeze rocked! I won't get into it since some haven't seen it but DUDE ugh *soooo sad*
I was also surprised Katie Holmes wasn't in it again.

I spent the rest of my new years day cleaning my room since it was still a disaster from Christmas and I babysat for several hours. LOL We watched Drake & Josh cause one day there wasn't anything on and I turned it on for the boys to watch and we all got hooked on them. That's like one of the only shows ever that has made me like laugh out loud cause it was so randomly funny... everyone else thinks I'm a weirdo but who cares! ROFL We also watched music videos on ondemand and ROFL we all got to singing "Hate This Part" by the PCD's and it was so funny cause they were trying to sing the words but "All we do is linger" turned into "I love my fingers...." too funny.

Anyways hope everyone had a awesome new years and maybe not as an eventful day as I had... LOL
