RE - welcome- I am back

Welcome to my passion. I love to write and I always have: from lists regarding every tasks to full blown stories and articles. I have worked as a journalist but I had a tendency to care too much about each individual I reported about making me an emotional basket case. I would end up giving the intended subjects money advice regarding how to change the very situation I was reporting about.  I am just a little too nosy and my heart is, opposite of the Grinch’s, two sizes too large.

In this blog I mostly want to entertain you all- talk about everyday things that we all deal with and hopefully add a little positivity as well. Don’t be worrying that I am going to try and teach you how to cook the perfect cobbler or spell out the perfect technique for ironing a shirt because I find that stuff really interesting- for other people.  I am just a basic girl with a sense of humor.

Cirque De Soleil

I consider myself to be a pretty cool chick. I went to Cirque De Soleil in Vegas last week and spent the evening in pure confusion- what in the HELL were they doing?
The body contortion stuff was cool, I always dig it when a hot guy in a white body suit can hold another guy in the air with his elbow while balancing on a grapefruit, I mean, who doesn't?
(But I do have to ask - How, exactly, did they find out they had that special talent in the first place??)

What was going on the rest of the time- I could see the show five more times and I still wouldn't have an answer. As I watched occasionally a Dr Seuss looking figure (in another mens leotard) with a tassel stuck on top of his head would be posing in the aisle of the theatre, as still as possible: "Mom after all these years of acting classes I finally landed my first role, I am the guy who stands in the aisle really still during Cirque De Soleil."

Another time an adult man in a diaper with a huge bottle (there were two of them) would walk on the stage and make some adult baby noise and then run off. Was all of this just filler between the talent? I will never know- not because I wont ever pay again (why pay when the best acts in Vegas are on the street begging for money) but because there were no words like that tom Hanks movie where he fell in love with his basketball.

But there is hope. I do know a couple of kids who might have a real future in "Cirque." If your kid runs up to you and says "Look what I can do with this gigantic cube!!" Don't force them to do their homework - send them to an audition.

Four on the Floor - Triple Rock Minneapolis

Great, very late, night last night at Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis last night. Went to to the album release of a great band "Four on the Floor" - the opening bands were also great -"Evening Rig" and  "Dirty Horse" - such talented awesome musicians it was a great time with great friends,,,,that didnt end until 4 am.

I am really getting old but most the guys there look all mangy, dirty and hairy with brown polyester blend pants or really tight tight skinny jeans with untucked plaid cowboy shirts with pearlized snaps. Many guys have on a knit snow hat all night too.
Who needs to dance around in a sweaty concert for five hours with a snow hat on?? That wasnt electric.

My issue is that a large percentage of the guys had man purses. (Not a leather satchel-Hangover lovers but a full-on vinyl over the shoulder bag.)
 My question is this:
What the hell do you put in there??  For years men have been perfectly fine with a pocketful of equipment for a night out- I.D, cash, etc- so please enlighten me- your cell phone is in your pocket- complete with apps for contacts , calender , to do lists, and every other damn thing. What is in your man purse????
Women need things at times- we got tampons and a hair brush and lipstick,,, we used to be asked to carry any bulky items you wanted us to carry too (like huge keychains). Finally the men have given in and said "screw this- I m getting a purse too."

Is it a notebook just in case you get a great poem idea??
An I pad, just in case your phones reception goes out and you need to check your FB status??
A change of clothes in case you get lucky?? I know its not a razor cuz those babies are obviously not cool anymore,,,

I hope to GOd this doesnt go viral because if my husband gets one of these I am not going to be able to keep a straight face.


You gotta let me in on this one- cuz I cannot imagine whats in the bag??????
