Fleetwood Mac and Palladia


I've already mentioned my cable upgrade. Well, one of the very cool things about the upgrade is I now have this channel called Palladia. It's basically a music channel that plays concerts, and it's pretty cool so far (and, it's all in High Def). As if I needed another reason to spend more time in front of the tube.



Segue to today. I'm a few minutes from leaving work when I find out that tonight's Presidency meeting has been canceled (and to think I had actually remembered this one). Other than a few errands I could think of, what's a girl to do when her meeting is canceled? The answer: Go home, grab dinner, and channel surf. As I'm surfing, what do I discover, but Fleetwood Mac in concert on Palladia. Sweet! Nothing like a little Stevie Nicks after a long day. Of course, my clicker stopped there, and my DVR started there.


I sat quietly and watched for the first half of the show, but by the second, things were a little intense. Let's just say it's a good thing no one else was around so that no one could see me as I bounced up and down on the sofa, and danced around the living room, shaking my booty and my rock star hair (let's face it, I do have rock star hair now), all while playing my air guitar. I also had turned up the volume just a "wee" bit. By the time the show was over, I was whipped into a frenzy and probably driving the upstairs neighbor fairly crazy. After that, I came to my senses in time to watch a new episode of NCIS.

It's the second best Fleetwood Mac concert I've ever been to, and it's the neighbor's misfortune that I have it recorded. Man, I love that band.

LOL! I can totally see you rocking out in your living room to this. My only question is ... why wasn't I invited to come over and watch it with you?

Goals

One of my goals this year is to go on a backpacking trip. It's something I've always wanted to do, but been too intimidated to try. Well, a few weeks ago, one of the girls in the Ward invited me on a backpacking trip to the Uinta's this summer. This time I immediately said yes. All was well until a few days later when reality set in and the thought of carrying 30-35 pounds of pack on my back while hiking in rough terrain just about made me cave. I did not have all the gear I would need, nor was I in good enough shape. The gear is something easily worked out. Most of it I can either purchase myself, or borrow from highly motivated friends. The physical conditioning was another matter altogether, so I decided it was time to get in better shape. I've been pretty good at exercising regularly, and I'm in ok shape for someone approaching a milestone birthday (if I say so myself). But I knew I needed to put in some extra miles, as well as add strength to my legs ...

Weird Al and Iowa

So a couple of weeks ago while watching TV, I happened to click on an A&E Biography of "Weird Al" Yankovic. Boy - did that bring back some fun High School memories. There were interviews with Dr. Demento (Weird Al started out on his radio show"), and snippets from some true comedy classics - for instance "Eat It", "Like a Surgeon", and others. I remember my best friend Jill really being into his "Polkas on '45" album. I went to High School in Iowa (Go Hawks!), and one thing about the midwest is that someone like "Weird Al" really fits in there. It's the land of brats and beer, and polka (I mean, the Iowa marching band's favorite song is the polka classic "In Heaven There Ain't No Beer"), and people there have a sense of humor - they don't take themselves too seriously. They work hard, have a good time, and are all about community. They take care of each other. When I get to heaven, there...

Company 5K

Friday evening was the company 5K, and most of my team and their families made the effort to participate. The weather was perfect, and the route took us through the neighborhoods around the main building. We ended up finishing in about 45 minutes. Here we all are at the Finish line (l to r: Dave, his daughter and son, Robin, me, Tiffany, her boyfriend Scott, Sudhir, Bindu, and their daughter Naomi) After the 5K, I decided I needed a post-race recovery meal, and got myself down to the local DQ for a pumpkin pie blizzard.
