Tea gone cold is rank

Saturday morning and my tea has gone cold. I've been putzing around my apartment getting ready to go out but I have another hour before I need to be out the door. I thought I would sit here and write a bit. I woke up last night with a killer migraine...as much as a love a decent glass of Savignon Blanc, it did not love me back. Ever since I started my restrictive diet, any time I allow myself  bit of alcohol: 1. I get tipsy much faster; 2. the migraine comes on faster too. Sigh. The question then becomes can I give up alcohol? Full stop. Hmm. One to ponder.

I don't really have anything clever to write at the moment. My day job has been super stressful with an upcoming large meeting. I am handling a portion of the logistics and my brain refuses to turn off. I've been journaling but not enough of the work is creative. Definitely missing that portion of my life. Once I get through this next week, I'll have some breathing room to get some of my own work done. This week will be 12 hour days, going home and crashing. That's as much as I'll be able to muster. Somewhere in there I need to see about getting a workout or two in. Really, I should have gone to the gym earlier this morning but I got up to finish up a recipe instead.

Somewhere in there...I also have to finish Christmas shopping. My nieces are done. They are always first on my list. I also have to buy paper and boxes to wrap gifts. I have ideas on what to get the rest of my family. Eesh!  I'm hoping to have it done by the first week in December. Then a much needed holiday vacation in Texas with my folks. Yay!  Wish me luck~

Bill Joel in Concert - Madison Square Garden

Glass Houses Album Cover - Billy Joel

I went to see Billy Joel play in Madison Square Garden.  What a terrific show!! I grew up with his music and his songs take me back. The Glass Houses album was one of the first albums I asked, begged, pleaded my dad to buy for me. Thank goodness he caved. His songs remind me of Saturdays belting along while cleaning the house and dancing around with my sisters like lunatics. It was crazy fun.

Billy Joel had a couple of surprise musical guests....but I lost my mind when Joe Perry from Aerosmith walked out and played guitar.  He played Walk This Way...and one of Billy Joel back up singers sang it out...and I couldn't contain myself. My rocker chick self was singing along and loving the shred of the guitar. LOVED IT!!!

When Bill Joel sang Piano Man towards the end of the show...my heart expanded. The tears welled up and I was fighting against letting them fall because I didn't want my mascara to run...but the song won out.  I know this is the first blog posting in quite some time but Billy Joel is oh so worth it.  Enjoy.
