I'm In

So, maybe you've noticed....Craig's been doing a fabulous job on this blog. I think he finally gave up on me adding anything, but now..I'm in. Just took a little looksy at a ton of other family blogs & yes, I'm feeling somewhat guilty that I haven't made a better effort to keep people (those of you that care!) updated!
So I will now make an attempt to redeem myself & get our family updated and officially blogged!!!

Oh my gosh Becky....Look at her butt

Haven't posted in a while - been very busy.  So here are a couple of tidbits to munch:

• Got my tickets to the Paramore/No Doubt concert, though not through the channel I thought!  Darn finances got in the way of actually buying them, so I had given up hope.  Then my (now favorite) nephew called up and said that he got some sets of freebies and that we could have a couple of tickets if we wanted!!  Woo hoo!!!  I get to rock after all!!!
  
• Here is a neo soul song that came out a couple of months ago that I loved!!  Gabriella Cilmi - "Sweet About Me"

• And finally, the post that the title references.  Jean and I saw this commercial the other night and both busted up laughing.  (It's especially funny if you are a Sir Mix-a-Lot fan)
  

Ahhh Yeeeeaaaaahhhh - Let's kick it old school!

Saw this nice performance via latenightwithjimmyfallon.com - classic Public Enemy with the live band.  Get out yo seat and Bring the Noise!!!

A Concert I Must Not Miss

There are very few acts that I think would be great to see live, and even fewer that I would actually get to the point of laying down some cash to see.  The problem usually is that when a band I like comes around, they usually end up touring with someone lame or as part of some "tour of a bunch of bands that you don't recognize except for this headliner".  That is what happened the last time Good Charlotte came to Salt Lake City - they were joined by Metro Station (meh) and like 3 other bands.  I was still tempted to go but didn't, then found out later that GC only played for 45 minutes or so.  Needless to say - I haven't been to a concert since Van Halen due to the increased value of the dollar in my house.  

But I squealed like a girl when it was announced that Gwen was back with her mates in No Doubt, and they were going to be touring with Paramore this coming summer!!!  Finally - two of my favorites all wrapped up in one show with a very fashionable LAMB bow on top!!  I'm already saving my loose change for the show - not sure when or where it will be, but I'm planning on being there!!!

(Enjoy these tasty treats from the two bands)

Go-Go Dancing With The Stars

I'm not a huge fan of the ABC show Dancing with the Stars (Monday, 8/7c), but every once in a while I'm drawn in by a particular contestant that I like.  I was impressed with how well Warren Sapp did last season - although I don't think I actually watched an episode.**  Not bad for a 300 lb football guy.  

I was delighted to hear that my second favorite Go-Go, Belinda Carlisle (don't worry Jane - you will always be my favorite) will be dancing this season!  I'm still not sure that I will bother watching, but I will be rooting for her in my heart.  ;)  Besides - I doubt they will let her do this step:  

**  Incidentally - I usually keep up with stuff like this via the humorous "Prime Time in No Time" on Yahoo.
