Turned Out To Be Good After All!

This day started out LOUSY! But ya know how some of the yuckiest days can turn into jewels by the very end? Well, this is one of those days!

Work was hard - mainly cause I just wanted to be home - and then my head hurt for the entire afternoon. It was a struggle to get my child to do anything - like eat, sit, practice piano, do homework...you name it - if I said do it, she ran the opposite direction. But then....

(I need a drum roll - here ---- oh wait - on second thought - let's ditch the drum roll cause drums make my head hurt and go for any other instrument -- how about a trumpet - yeah - a trumpet - I have always like trumpet players....so - INSERT trumpet blast here....)

While I was waiting for my child to complete her piano lesson I found out that my bloggity idol and favorite recipe book author is coming to MY TOWN!! That is right, The Pioneer Woman aka, Ree Drummond is on her way to my local library. I am giddy! I am in the middle of reading her new novel and I have been of her cookbook for quite some time.


She is coming for a whole day of presentation goodness and book signing and oh, my gracious, the excitement is just about too much for me handle. This stuff never happens to me.....I never get to see authors I love in person - it is a dream come true and I only have a month to wait....I don't know if I can stand it!

And then, after I had kinda cooled down a bit from that news, I came home to a phone message from a friend that needed me to call them back - quickly cause it was important!! Now, this friend is one of my bestest ones ever, and she calls me a lot - but never does she say it is Important!! I just knew it was a shoe emergency or that somehow I had missed a Bravo TV "Real Housewives" special or something...but I was wrong!

Bring back that trumpeter...

She had already purchased me a ticket to a concert that is happening in town in August...Gang's Momma (this is just for you!!) .... I am going to see Keith Urban in concert in just a few short months!!

My friend is the best - she is member of the fan club and we got pre-sale tickets! It was a great surprise....and now I don't have to stress and worry that I won't get a ticket when they go on sale Saturday or feel badly when all my friends are at the concert and I am home!! Yipee!!!

It has been a great day -- well, at least a great afternoon and evening! I am blessed beyond measure!

Hope you are too!

Happily,
Beverly
