A Rocking Good Time

And with the blink of an eye, another weekend has come and gone. We have been so very busy the past few weekends, and while everything we have been doing has been enjoyable, I'm looking forward to doing absolutely NOTHING next weekend!

Friday night the partners at the new firm surprised us with a little girls' night out. They have decided that the six of us who are attorneys should do something fun every quarter. Are you curious as to what our fun event was this past Friday? Get ready for a blast from the past...we attended the "Still Rocking" concert tour headlined by REO Speedwagon and Styx, with 38 Special as the opening act.


We had an absolute blast! I got a lot of teasing throughout the night as I was only familiar with 1/3 of the songs. At one point in the concert, REO Speedwagon's lead singer mentioned that it was 30 years ago they were driving to Nashville to record their first CD...um, yeah, I was 2 years old. Oh well, I still love a lot of the 80's music, and these guys really did rock out pretty hard!


That's the lead singer from REO Speedwagon - this guy ran all over the stage and had several wardrobe changes, which cracked me up. The jeans he wore at the very beginning of their set looked like they had been attacked by someone who is a little too fond of the Bedazzler. He still sounds the exact same - he has such a distinctive voice.

Probably just as much fun as the music was the people-watching. I saw plenty of mullets:


(ah...Billy Ray. You really know how to do a state proud. Because of you, this stupid hairstyle also is known as the "Kentucky waterfall". Thanks A LOT.)

Saturday evening, we headed to Lexington to celebrate the engagement of some friends. The cocktail party was held at the Bodley-Bullock House, which was built in the early 1800's and currently serves as the headquarters of the Lexington Junior League:


Talk about a total 180 - from 80s rock, mullets and draft beer one night to Junior League the next!

Today was a pyjama day in our household - well, except for Mommy. I had to make the typical runs to Target and Kroger, so I was in my uni of black track pants, hoodie and baseball hat. Is it a fashionable look? No, but it's damn comfortable, especially after living in heels all week long. Alexandra stayed put in her Elmo jammies all day, and don't you know she was loving it!



Do you see that ball she is holding in the first picture? That's a ball of rubber bands that Ryan keeps in the office and Alexandra is OBSESSED with it. I'm not exactly sure what it is about it that fascinates her so, but I bet she could sit and play with it for an hour if given the opportunity.



Other things that captured her attention this cold Sunday afternoon included her new bracelets (thanks Mimi!)...


Her toothbrush and toothpaste...


And Mommy's IPhone...


Hmmm....note to self, probably not smart to let my almost-2 year-old handle my easily breakable lifeline! Have a great week!
