A Recap and a Thought....

Inhale.


Exhale.


Inhale.


Exhale.


Today started early with running a few errands with Rabbit this morning. Followed by hopping into the shower and then loading the car with my two kids, and their two friends. Off to a waterpark we went. It's what Handsome wanted to do for his birthday, so that's what we did. :) And we closed out the park. Similar to closing out a deck party. And by similar, I mean totally and completely opposite of closing out a deck party. lol

Then we came home and had pizza, cake and ice cream. It's weird how birthday parties change around this age. He's quite content without the big hoopla but still wanted us to sing happy birthday to him so he could make a wish and blow out the candles. Rabbit said goodbye to the friend that went with her to the waterpark and turned around and said hello to her friend from across the street who ultimately stayed the night. Handsome's friend David, is here too. It was a busy night. I topped off my evening by going out on the deck just a few minutes ago and dancing in the dark.....in the rain. *happy sigh*

I am now snuggled in my bed, laptop open, lurking, and well....blogging.

Haven't been on Twitter much tonight aside from lurking. I just felt like a quiet night alone. I have my ear buds in and it's a slow jam kinda night. Inhale......exhale.......LOVE. I think it's my way of winding down as tour winds down. I'm a big sap and would normally cry at the end of a tour, because that's what one does when something important to you ends. It's a different feeling for me this tour ending.

What a tremendous undertaking this whole 50 date tour was. For those of us who were able to go to more than one show, it was definitely cool to watch how the show changed and progressed from opening night until now. LOVEd the addition of Midnight Red and Matthew Morrison. Quite okay with seeing Ashlynne Huff go away. Just a personal opinion that I know I'm not alone in. When I saw her rehearsing just off stage with her dancers, I was immediately unimpressed. If you're gonna rehearse don't do it out in the open where you can be seen by the audience. That's a rookie move. By the time she was done, *I* knew the choreography. Plus.....she never seemed to know where her pants were.  AtlAngela dubbed her "Sponge Barb no Pants". It stuck.

When you're playing for a crowd of fans who are there to see 5 sexy grown men, the last thing you wanna see is a chick in a glitter leotard with no pants. Now, I can understand that perhaps the idea behind having her was to also give the small percentage of men in the audience something to keep them happy for a bit, but.....dude. No.

Jordin Sparks? WIN! LOVE Her!!! Nuff said.

The guys always put on a great show and when you're working with 9 different personalities, with perhaps a couple of Alpha males *side eye* and a whole LOT of testosterone, I'm sure it can get tricky at times. As family units can. While I enjoyed the concert immensely, I'm ready for our boys to be our boys again. I didn't get an opportunity to see them during the Full Service tour. I was still in *my* "Dark Place" then. I loved the CasiNO Tour so much because of the intimacy of it. I would love to see a "Stripped and Sexified" tour. Just a thought. :)  Intimate and acoustic. Inhale......exhale......perfection.

And I'm ready for new music from them. I'm not alone.

Again, just an opinion. Nothing more, nothing less.

I'm tired tonight and feeling a bit 'off' physically the last few days. Don't know what it is. I don't have a cold or a fever. Not sure. Although my right kidney was bothering me last night. Which is odd, because it's usually the left one. So I'm gonna close my eyes now, and try to sleep. I have to work a 10 hr day tomorrow with no break. Should be interesting.

I hope wherever you are, and whatever you did Today, that it brought you joy.

Inhale.....exhale.....in the rain tonight....this song? Perfection! I practiced  my 'figure eights' to it. Think.....Rumba. ;) http://youtu.be/0DdCoNbbRvQ
