Cuatro más bebidas, por favor. ¡Gracias!

Hola everyone! At some point I will blog about the drunken week I spent with my mother in Mexico. But for now, pictures will have to tell a thousand words.

There are no adequate words...

This was the best Aerosmith concert of my life ladies and gentlemen, and let me remind you that I’ve been to many.

The energy was strong, and the crowd went totally nuts over it. The band did a fantastic job, incomplete as it was. Tom Hamilton is at home recovering from radiation treatment for throat cancer, and his stand-in was ‘John B”, who did a fantastic job.

And for the record, Motley Crew put on one hell of a show. Best opening act ever.

Since I’ve read that few things piss of the band like fans sneaking in cameras and recording devices, I decided to respect that and not smuggle in my lovely camera. Also, I was damn sure there would be purse checks, and I really didn’t want to lose it. Anyway, because Aerosmith loves the fans who love them, they post pictures of each individual concert on their site.

When they played ‘Seasons of Wither’ I fucking lost it. Its my favorite song of all time, and after the magical moment had passed, I had to sit down. It was amazing.

I would love to write more, but I have a wee final today for which I have to go cram.

It was just the most fabulous concert ever.

It was worth every cent I spent on the ticket and more. I loved every second of it.

Friday evening was tree decorating at Casa Fisk, Gledhill & Abel. I think the guys eventually enjoyed it, even though I made them turn off "Alien vs. Predator" for the billionth time. I had made a Christmas cd on the fly since I didn’t know that channel the burning log was on (its channel 18 for those of you who don’t know. I found it the next day.) and we listened to classic Christmas music while we put up the tree and decorated it not only with store-bought decorations, but homemade ones as well.

We hung our personalized stockings, chatted, drank rum and eggnog and watched the Christmas episode of “Scrubs”.

I’m so ready to get my Christmas on. I’m even completely done all of my shopping. Whoo!

Oh yeah. What a beautiful tree!
