I Confess..I like Britney Spears

Yes, she's been a train wreck and half but I confess I like her music and her dancing. I never have wanted to admit it too much but yet everytime she launches a new album I'm one of the first ones in line to buy her CD.

Ridiculous or what? I know I'm not the only one. Bloggy friend Allyson has seen her several times in concert just in the past couple years of me reading her blog! She loves her! In case you don't know it -- Britney's new album Femme Fatale hits tomorrow and it's happening with an MTV special as well a segment on tomorrow's GMA on ABC. I love the new song and can't wait to see if she's coming to Charlotte. For years I've talked about wanting to go and see her and this time if she comes here I'm going! MARK.MY.WORDS. I truly love her dancing, costumes, showmanship. Brad won't admit it but he likes her too. HAHA! Are you a fan of Britney?

One of My Favs

I know..I know.. a lot of you are John Mayer haters. I've explained my views on Johnny right here.

But.. saying that...I just love this song.

Haven't we all been there in the past, or maybe the present?
Just felt like sharing. Again, we saw him in concert last month and I broke out in dance when he played this song.

How's your Tuesday? I'm getting my grey hairs covered tonight and I can't freaking wait!!!!

My Favorite Decade for Music

I absolutely LOVED the music they played at our wedding. We danced our butts off.. hence the picture below.

What did they play mostly? Can you say 80’s!!!???

A lot of music from these two.

BUT..I’m also a big fan of the 70’s genre of music though too! We had some Journey action going on at the wedding as well as tons of Motown. I’m a big fan of the Eagles too but we didn’t have that played at the wedding.

I was thinking about it this morning though – if I had to pick one decade of music I like the best it is totally 80’s. Brad and I put our TV on totally 80's when at home cooking and/or just hanging out. Yes, we are Cheeseballs..

What about you?

What decade of music is your fav? Are you a 90’s alternative type of gal/guy?

Or like me – you like to rock out to some 80’s??

Oh.. and HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!

Race Weekend/Speed Street and My Weekend Plans

It’s officially the big race weekend here in Charlotte, the Coca-Cola 600 will be held out at the speedway on Sunday and it is officially the longest race of the year. 600 laps!

With the race comes the annual Speed Street festival, that lasts until through Saturday, brings with it a long of carney food and fun as well as some pretty good music. There are two stages – one country and one rock.

This year’s acts include: Bell Biv DeVoe(yes, they’re still around), along with Simplified, Lifehouse, Gavin DeGraw, Clint Black, Rodney Atkins and others. The best part is it’s free if you’re willing to fight the crowds of rednecks that emerge onto our city this time of year.

You can see what I’m talking about in the photos below. I went out on the streets during my lunch-break and it’s funny to see all the bankers in the same area with all the race fans. People wait in lines for little bags of M&Ms that are given out and a lot of other schwag aka junk.

My weekend plans ‘might’ include one night of Speed Street but not totally for sure. We’re leaving to go up to the lake tonight and then tomorrow we’re hiking at Hanging Rock State Park. Then we’ll spend some time on the lake before returning late Saturday. From there we’re going to some party and who knows what.

I did get a call from my b/f/f Dawn in NOLA and she says she’s driving up here late..late..Saturday and will spend Sunday through Wednesday here in Charlotte.. YAY!
We are going to hike Mount Jefferson on Monday! Should be a good time.. more on that and the rest of the weekend to come.

For now – sights from Speed Street 2009.

Yes, a Budweiser bar that they've rolled up on the street in front of the BofA Corporate Center!

The crowds.. this is nothing.. wait until tonight!

One of two music stages.

Typical race fans....

then you've got your bankers.. what a combo!

people waiting in line for free junk!
