still hoarse
Despite my well-endowed cold (rolling my eyes at all of you.. lol) …. we made our way to the Bryan Adams concert last night.
Phenomenal. It was the most amazing concert. For ONE of his encores, it was just Bryan and his guitar … for 45 minutes. What a performance. I swooned, and my hubby watched me swoon. 
We were 18th row on the floor, right smack in the middle.
I saw this guy with my high school girlfriends in 1984. We all bought new lighters (well, because we weren’t smokers) and new pastel sweatshirts and new Santana jeans with the pinstripe down the side (ahhh … the 80′s..) and talked on the phone all day of the concert, about what to wear (like Bryan would see us … sigh!). I remember one particularly detailed phone call with my best friends from high school, about whether or not to wear mascara, as we might cry. (Of course we did, we were 14!!!) So, last night, at age 36, I called her a few hours before we left, and left this message on her voicemail:
“Ummmm … Teri? Yeah, I’m just heading out to see Bryan Adams tonight, and I know you’re going to see him tomorrow night in Calgary. So … I was just wondering …. does a girl wear mascara or not? Get back to me.”
Her email reply was:
Mascara for Bryan? NEVER!
I wonder who the “Bryan Adams” of my daughter’s life will be? Hmmmm.
Which performer does this for you?
PS: Update on the “chesty” cold …. I’m now on antiobiotics and have stopped running for a few days. Plan to get back in the swing on Thursday. The cold now makes its way through our house …. Kevin had it first, Camryn’s just getting over it … Derek is home sick from schoool today …. Troy wishes he had it because he swears we’re having a party today while he’s at school….
