Rockin' Concerts, New Singles, Bob Marley And The Kitchen Sink

I have two very important bits of news this week!!! Important to me, at least. Well three, actually!

October is my favorite month of the year! And it’s here!

I love to rake and crunch in the leaves. The crisp coolness of the air inspires and motivates me. I love sitting on the front porch when it’s warm and by the wood-filled fireplace in the back when the evening is chilly. I love jeans, sweatpants and chili! I get to see my kids a lot. It’s my birth month. What more can you ask for?

Even better…I have my PINK tickets. March 9th. The United Center. WOO HOO!!!!!


She went and had a baby which delayed her album making and tour but we’ll cut her some slack as we all know how life gets in the way of things we want to do. I don’t have the tickets in hand yet but I should by tomorrow. My M.O. when getting concert tickets is I buy some decent ones immediately so I know I’m going for sure then I start trading up so long as the price goes up. So in February, I’ll start working my magic until I end up on the main floor around 10 rows back. Don’t want to be much closer or you really can’t see well. She is incredible!!!

My guy, Kid Rock, released his new single Let's Ride yesterday (this YouTube clip is from a radio interview and debut of the song). Been waiting for him, too. If there’s one thing that would really get me going, it would be the two of them in concert….TOGETHER. And I think they’d be really great with each other. Both are talented, sexy and smart!


Anyway, his album will be released on my daughter’s birthday, November 19th. What a great gift for me! AND you know what a new album always means…….A tour is coming our way. I know the way these things time out and we should expect Kid to come swinging through Chi-town in the early summer or possible late spring. He puts on a kick ass show and it will be my fourth time spending the night with him, if you know what I mean!!!

I was in a very warm, muggy climate last week and one of the best things about being in Sea Island, Georgia, was biking absolutely everywhere. We rented these awesome beach cruisers with baskets. What can’t be done with a bike and basket? While we has a rented car for airport transport from Jacksonville, it was never used. My goal for October…bike everywhere. To the farmer’s market, CVS, grocery store, library, friends’ homes, you get the picture. I love bike riding and have no idea why I haven’t done this sooner!


A rather big annoyance while dining al fresco at a shrimp shack on St. Simons Island was this woman.

Notice anything hanging out of her mouth? A heater!!!! She plopped herself right down on a bench by our table and lit up. Also, she had a little yapping dog with her. The dog didn’t bother me much. I love dogs. The smoke did.


Oh and this tasty morsel is what remained of my fried Oreo. It didn't stay that way for long. It was incredibly delicious! A truly gooey delight!


Just found last week. A new beverage. And I was quite surprised to find it in the organic aisle. I know Bob Marley was all about organic produce, if you know what I mean, but I didn’t think this energy/coffee drink qualified. It’s called “Marley’s One Drop” and it’s gooooooood!  The tag line on it if you can’t see is “Wake Up & Live”. Will do, Bob! Made with real Jamaican coffee, by the way.


Happy Tuesday! And a big thank you to Stacy Uncorked and Seriously Shawn for allowing random writing and talk to be the norm on a Tuesday.

Pink is a bad ass, and I mean that in the most complimentary fashion. GIRL, I LOVE ME SOME KID ROCK!!!! His concerts are freakin' amazing!!!!

Gina said...

She is the ultimate bad ass chick! Love her and her new album is outstanding! Downloaded it day one! Kid Rock concerts? Amazing! He is so entertaining, naughty and talented! I know you know he plays every instrument! I will see him when he comes from very, very, very good seats (just like last time). I wish there was a suggestion box somewhere so I could drop a note saying, "Please play together!"

Jack said...

Drink enough of that stuff and you'll end up walking around in your underwear.

Gina said...

It's completely organic...no additives ;-)

Jack said...

Yeah, I suppose you don't need any help to end up doing something like that. ;)

See, I may not comment on everything, but I read most.

Gina said...

I knew what you were getting at.

Jack said...

Yes blondie.

Robin said...

I would ride my bike if a. I lived in town. and B. if I wasn't so lazy.

Gina said...

Yes. It helps to live in town with nothing more than 2 miles away. And I get lazy, too! My goal is to thoroughly enjoy my favorite month!

Stacy Uncorked said...

I love October too - and I don't mind raking leaves (or shoveling snow) especially on a crisp cool/cold day with abundant sunshine. :)

I do not like trying to eat while someone's puffing away. Just isn't right.

I need to see if I can find Bob Marley's coffee drink - sounds perfect! :)

Re: snow...I love a fresh snow and especially when there's blue sky, too. Last winter was easy requiring only one major snow blow but in years past, I've done the job so long as the snow is a foot or less 'cause my blower can't handle more than that.

Hate eating when someone is smoking but that's not much of a problem here...the law!

Look in the organic aisle of your market or grocery store. That's where I spotted it. Two flavors.

TMWHickman said...

Make sure that you wear a helmet when you bike, or my son will yell at you. I don't know where he gets that bossy streak!

October is an awesome month--for Halloween alone!

Gina said...

I have no idea where he gets it but tell Zane I always wear it!

Love October!

Nicole said...

Ah, so cool you live in Chi-town! My hubby and I went on our honeymoon there as he'd never been and I love that city! And this whole trading up to be on the floor with concert tickets, how in the world do you do that?!?!

Gina said...

I've lived here all my life and love it. It truly is a great city. So fun to spend your honeymoon here!

Well, I buy them early when the day they come out (the tickets) and hold onto them until a month before the concert. I then begin checking the ticket sites I know and wait for the prices to go up. I sell the ones I have and buy better and essentially spend the same amount of money. Just what I've always done for concerts. It's in my blood since I was a teenager. Thanks for stopping by!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Pink! Unfortunately, some of her lyrics make listening to her in the car a thing of the past since I usually have my 2 year old listening as well but I still love her. And going to see her in concert sounds awesome!

Ok, that fried oreo needs to get in my belly right now! I'm drooling!!!!

Thanks for linking up with us!
