summa summa summatime...

time to sit back and unwind...
so i finally have a break from that which i do daily...and i have this break for a month
however i am at an absolute loss of what to do with myself.


i know i should just be enjoying the time off but its technically the first day of my break and i already feel like i am going stir crazy.


but at least i have a plethora of good music to keep me entertained.


so i must tell you a little story of some good luck - or good happiness that was thrown my way.


this last saturday my mostly companion's kid sister (she's not really a kid but she younger so we will call her kid sister for the sake of birth order) and i were going to get some free pizza - courtesy of my dear friend steppy nubble - nicknamed for anonymity's sake...she had a groupon that she and her husband were going to be unable to use so she asked me if i wanted it i of course said yes who would pass up free pizza - unless of course if you didnt like pizza then you might but then you would be a shocking rare creature that one like myself would not know how to handle....


so back to the story at hand...
we are en route to pizza when i receive a text message about a band that we are both longing to see...The Temper Trap...and the text is about a free show that is playing at the Buffalo Gap...at 4pm and there is room for 120 people - i turn to look to her and report the news....


needless to say we turn around and change our course for the afternoon....sadly though my mostly companion is golfing in the hundred degree weather missing all the goodness that is about to occur.


so we arrive at the buffalo gap - we are the 3rd group of people that arrive for the show - we grab a beer each and get in line...my goodness we are so excited.


to make this story even better - we had been having lunch the previous day talking about how badly we had wanted to go to the concert t (that was saturday night) she was very jealous her boyfriend was going and i had been trying to win tickets all week to no avail...but my how the tables would turn.


so the mini concert starts and they are AMAZING!!  Beyond what we had both imagined....
and the tale gets better...


sooooo....
there is a girl from the radio station walking around talking to us special invitees - members of the "mobile nation"  inquiring as to how we like the show.


we told her our tale of musical woe...


she continued her route around the room as we went on conversing with one another...
low and behold she comes back and sits down at our table and begins telling us that we must celebrate quietly...


as she slides 2 tickets for that nights show...
what are you kidding me?
we have just been given two free tickets compliments of the radio station to which we are both loyal listeners...


so we are in shock and very excited...
we follow the instructions though and celebrate quietly.


so once finished we decide it is time to head off to free dinner...after free intimate concert..before we head to free full blown concert...


wow oh wow what a day it turned out to be.


I must say though that i feel bad as we were supposed to both attend a bbq (myself and my mostly companion) he went for the both of us as i was slightly...um well lost in joy!! 
so my apologies to our friends!!
much love!!


And happy reading!!
