Ok, my Dierks Day, or D Day as I was referring to it. First of all let me say that Friday was HOT and no clouds anywhere. We got to venue about 1 because I got lost three times on my way to Eufaula. Anyway, we got to venue and were 3, 4 and 5 in line. We had our chairs, umbrellas, sunscreen, iPod and player, icechests, mister fans, food, water and frozen washclothes. We sat in line from 1-a little after 3 when they let us in. We saw our first person pass out from the heat while we were waiting in line. THERE WAS NO SHADE ANYWHERE TO BE HAD so everyone was dying from heat. It didn't matter how much water you drank or put on your body, it didn't help. I thought I was going to pass out a few times. Anyway, we got inside and Jennifer ran up to grab front center in the VIP section. I noticed that we would continue to be in direct sunlight and I couldn't do it. Thank God, they had a huge tent up in VIP so I decided to relinquish my front row spot and sit under the tent. Missy did too because she was feeling affects of the heat as well. Jennifer was a rock star and decided to stick it out down there. After about an hour, I was feeling much better so I stuck with under the tent. There were 4 opening acts and they started at 4. One was a local band, the others were Rodger Clyne and the Peace Makers, Kevin Fowler and Jamie Johnson. Didn't really care to hear any of them and I'll be fine if I never have to see Jamie Johnson in concert again! B O R I N G! While Peacemakers were on, I got a text update from Dierks twitter that said he was coming out to sing American Girl with him, so I knew he was coming out before anyone else did, or anyone else that didn't check their twitter. That was pretty cool.
A cool little side story, we were next to this really good looking guy who had his shirt off. Then we noticed he was with a woman in a wheelchair. He was saying that he couldn't really get her anyplace close to where she could see the stage and they didn't have a handicap accessible way to get down to the VIP area which they had tickets for. So, they stayed up by the tent. Anyway, right before The Peacemakers came on, she decided she wanted to go down to VIP so he carried her down the stairs and had a security guard carry her chair. It was so sweet! We watched his beers for him while he was down there and he would come up and grab one every now and then. Then he carried her back up the stairs and they came back to VIP and watched the rest from there. We ended up kinda hanging with them, they'd save seats for us, we'd save seats for them. Then, he ended up getting security to take down this huge Bud Light banner that was on the railing blocking her view to the stage. We also ended up giving them a ride back to the hotel. They were staying at the same one we did and they were there on the corner waiting on the shuttle. WE knew they would be waiting a long, long time so we decided to squeeze them in my car and threw her chair int he back. When Dierks came out we all moved to that railing and had a great view and a cool breeze. Turned out to be a good night after such a hot day. Dierks didn't play very long and we were disappointed in that for sure. He only played for like an hour and fifteen minutes. But, he also didn't come on until after 10:00. It was a late night. He came out to Sideways and me and MIssy were up on the railing doing the Sideways dance he pointed RIGHT AT US and sang for a bit. He pointed to us again in the show while we were dancing. I was the only one there in the Congress Tshirt so I know he recognized it from the stage. He commented on it during the M&G too. It made me want to see him in NOrman REALLY, REALLY BAD! Not sure if I'm going to be able to do it yet. I'll have to wait and see what happens.
So, my M&G was good. It seems to always be with him because he's so nice and actually takes time to talk to us each and all. There were soooo many M&Gs this time. His asst. tour manager Brittney came out and told us that we could only have him sign ONE item and that we needed to have our cameras out and ready as well as what we wanted signed and everything else would have to be left on a table outside the tent. Missy had asked me to have him sign her M&G picture from Tulsa so I was nervous about that because I had TWO items. I put them both in a folder and she stood there and watched everyone as they went in, one by one, to see what they had and she said I had to take it out of the folder so I wasn't able to take Missy's picture in and I felt bad. I had him sign my picture of our other M&G last June. He asked where it was and how far away it was from there. I told him he was scheduled to play Norman in September and he asked if it was just him or him and Brad. Someone asked him if his dogs _ and George were with him and he said no. I had seen Cassidy and their baby earlier in the day over in the catering tent so I knew she was with him. I asked him if he was going to see U2 any and he said yes Sept. 13, Soldier Field in Chicago and he said he was going to try and get a M&G and laughed. He asked how long everyone had been there and told us that he was in KC till 2 am bowling after their show (which I already knew because he tweeted it) and then they pulled into the venue about 7 and he had soundcheck at 8. He said he was really tired but excited about the show. He said he had been up since they pulled in at 7 watching the shows and I said "and tweeting" and he said, "yeah, did you get that?" and I told him yes and he asked if I knew about it before he came out and I said yes because I get updates on my phone and he said he really likes twitter for that reason and he can update everything at the same time. he gave everyone a hug good bye because he had like 40 other M&G between radio and VIP passes. And that was it. Missy knew the guy who was in charge of security there and he happened to be back there making sure we all left and went out the gate so I asked him if he could get her picture signed and he said maybe and told me to leave it on the table so I did in the folder. Later on while Jamie Johnson was on stage, he came back to where we were sitting and handed Missy her folder and walked off. She opened it and the picture was signed and it said, "KALEN, Best Wishes, Dierks" We DIED LAUGHING! I still felt bad but I couldn't stop laughing. I was like, WHY did he sign it to me? And, she said because your email was in the folder right next to it! I still laugh now because it is just funny! Dierks tries to make everything so personalized and I thought it was funny that he looked in the folder than just signing the picture and saw my name and made it out to me. So Missy now has a 8x10 of her and Dierks hugging and it's made out to me!!!! It was a pretty good day. A long one and I wouldn't have even gone if I hadn't have gotten the M&G with him. I got it first and then bought my ticket. I let that be the deciding factor on whether I went or not. The other thing this show made me think was "what the heck am I thinking going to do it again in Miami?????" I must be crazy! One thing is for sure, I won't be standing in line all day. I wont' be expecting anything close this time around. It would have been a different story if they would have let us take our umbrellas in. But, we couldn't take anything in at all! I might be able to at Gary. They aren't as strict. I dont' know, we'll see

Hi Everyone,
Bren, Kalen, Alicia - as usual your concert stories are awesome and so descriptive that I think that I'm there. You all walk away with tales that go above and beyond regular concert memories, i.e. like my own concert tales that are same old, same old. Thanks for sharing.
I'm hoping NYE in Vegas holds the same for me.
How was everyone's 4th? I didn't do much. Steph went to Vermont with the family but I was home. Got to the beach on Saturday and bbq-ed. Yesterday we headed to IKEA. I love IKEA. The quality isn't anything to write home about but the style is more my taste. I picked up a bookcase for $50 and a couple of decorative things I plan on displaying when I get home tonight.
It's official, we're seeing Billy Currington on July 30th at the Songwriters' Series here in NYC. We reserved the same table from last time so we'll ne extra close!

Bren...thats just ridiculous about Rodney not putting his arm around anyone! I hope it was just a one time deal and not a new thing for all time. Ever since his "people" have been going through changes....new management and stuff, he is going all "big time"....he hasnt been acting like the same ol' Rodney.
Kalen...dont worry about me! lol I go through phases about wanting a baby...mostly bc I know Bo would make a cute baby AND he would be there for it no matter what happens between us.

I know its not a good idea and Im not trying....I just have my thoughts. Bo comes with a lot of baggage...some of it Im ok with, other Im having to work really hard to not let it bother me too much. I like his daughter and I like spending time with her...I wish he had her more often so I could get more "mommy time" bc that would help me not want one of my own. Im absolutely happy with being a step-momma....but him only having her every other weekend doesnt fill my quota! lol
Oh and by the way....found out he has a ring for me! I saw it...and its UGLY!! lol What would yall do? I want a ring....a "promise ring"....bc its way too early to even be talking engagements, I can see myself marrying him SOMEDAY so I would just want a ring to show people that HE is taken! lol I want those girls to back off my man! I dont want THAT ring though...how would yall handle that situation?
Also, already told you...I will do all the waiting for us in Miami if you need me to!

You will just have to give me a couple minutes not long before the show starts to run to the casino bathroom to freshen up...thats all the payback I will ask of you for sitting out in the sun forever to get us both front row!
I hope you get things worked out and start feeling better!
Sue...thats great that you get to be up close and personal to Billy....just remember to keep things UNDER WRAPS during the show! lol You dont want to get thrown out. Now...before or after the show...thats a different story...let those puppies fly free!

Alicia..thats a tough situation...ugly ring but you don't want hurt his feelings...tough...
You know..I thought it was weird that Rodney did put his arms around anybody...maybe it was a one time thing (i hope)
Sue....I love Ikea...i always have a list of things I need and leave with things that are no where near on the list...congrats on the songwriters with Billy...
Joni..congrats on the frontrow and meeting up with other Junkies...

11 Days till Kenny in San Francisco and 16 Days till Keith in Sacramento.

How was everyone's 4th? Mine was quite except the drive to Tahoe was a nightmare.

Jules...your heat is laughable!

lol
Karen...congrats on the upcoming concerts and the BSE with Keith!
I have a question....people say "Love conquers all" but Im getting told to turn and RUN away from Bo bc of his baggage that he has. So how much is TOO much for love to be able to conquer and you should just give up and walk away?? Yall already know that Bo has a daughter from a past relationship...love her to pieces. well, he has another ex now saying that she is preggers and that the kid is his. He says that there is no way that the kid is his...but he wont follow up on it and talk to the girl to find out FOR SURE. What would yall do? I have no problem being a step mom rather than popping out kids of my own....but I wish he would stop shrugging this whole thing off and get it figured it out. Is that means enough to leave the first guy I have ever had any kind of love feelings for?
why cant life be easy.
cwhitney731
Jul 7 2009, 07:48 PM
Alicia-I think you should talk to Bo about how you feel about it, and that he should follow up with this other girl JUST IN CASE... What if it his kid? Would that change your feelings for him? Maybe he is scared of how you would react if he has the "love feelings" too....

Jul 7 2009, 09:22 PM
Hi, everyone! I've been without internet access since Thursday except for about an hour Sunday morning and an hour last night. I'm so mad at my provider who won't permanently fix the problem.
Hope all is well with everyone in their part of the world.
Alicia, good luck with working out everything with Bo. I think he should really follow up on the paternity issue with his other ex in case she tries to sue for child support. Maybe he is worried about how you'll react to this and is afraid of losing you. I don't really believe the saying that love conquers all. Sometimes there are circumstances that love cannot overcome no matter how hard (and how long) you try. Both parties have to be in it and commit to the relationship 100%. If one person isn't, then the other will eventually have nothing left to give. In order to save one's own sanity and identity, sometimes you have to call it quite. From experience, I know this to be true. However, just because Bo has a daughter and perhaps other 'baggage' that is no reason to give up and run at this point. We all have baggage of one kind or another. If you truly love and care about each other, you can make it work.
Night all,
Connie

Jul 7 2009, 11:07 PM
Thanks for the advice Courtney and Connie! That really helps me out. I was a little shocked that I had people telling me to run away. I guess thats why the divorce rate is so high these days...too many people just wanting to run away from problems instead of trying to work through them.
By the way...welcome back Connie, we missed you while you didnt have internet access! I was wondering where you were hiding.
Who watched Deadliest Catch?? Highlights were few but it was pretty funny seeing Phil and Keith get into it over the radio. The part that got me the most was the previews for next episode with _ crying on the phone to his mom about coming home...I wonder what happened. I cant wait to see that.
Well...I need to go to bed now! I will talk to you all tomorrow!
SueLion
Jul 8 2009, 06:49 AM
Hey girls,
Alicia, I agree with Courtney and Connie - no need for running. You guys probably just need to get to the bottom of it and remember you're in it together. If you're committed to the relationship, you'll roll with the highs and lows (not saying this is a low, it is what it is, not good, not bad). I agree everyone's got baggage, be it emotional baggage, children, exes, etc. Everyone picks these up along the way and anyone who says they don't have any is a phoney baloney, and I don't like phoney baloneys! Well, I do like baloney on a sammy but that's a whole different story.
I hope this helps.
Aaaaand, I'm going to try my hardest to keep fully clothed for Billy, but I'm not making any promises.
Does anyone watch Ghost Hunters on Scifi? They air like 4 hours each Weds and Im all obsessed with the show. I'm going to Gettyburg for part of my vacation in August and we're doing 2 ghost walks (to balance out me having to learn about history and stuff).

Sue, your seeing Billy Currington? I LOVE HIM!!!!
Connie, glad to see you back. How is Bret doing?
Jules, Alicia is right! Your heat is laughable. I would take yours over ours right now!
Since I watched the MJ memorial service on the internet yesterday while working, I must get busy today because I didn't get much done yesterday. I'll check back in later!
Stay cool!

Jul 8 2009, 09:07 AM
So now that MJ is finally buried...do we think we will FINALLY get back to seeing other things on TV besides things on him! Im so sick of every channel having something on him...all day long!
Sue....Ghost Walks, that sounds awesome! I would love to do something like that....but would be very disappointed if nothing Paranormal happened at all.
Barb...lol Jules' heat is laughable.... but our cold is laughable to her, Im sure! lol
everyone going to the Ok shows in Sept.....did yall get your tickets to the OKC show already?
Today is my last day of my vacation.....its back to work tomorrow.

I need money but Im not looking forward to my boss working me all the time again. Well...I guess I better get off here and take advantage of my last day off.

Good morning, everyone! After having almost a week of temps in the 80s, it's now going to return to summer heat here--temps in the 90s with heat index of 100 plus. Hello again, AC!
Thanks for the welcome back, gals. It's nice to be missed!
Alicia, enjoy your last day of vaca--hope you find something fun to do.
Sue, enjoy your time with Billy!
Hi, Barb! How are you doing? Bret is doing great--thanks for asking! He hasn't had a seizure since mid-March (after he foolishly didn't take his meds all weekend). He is getting really excited about heading off to college at the end of next month. He broke up with his girlfriend earlier this week, so he's 'single' again. (Mama says 'thank goodness'! The girl was nice but has no goals or dreams and Bret admitted to having to give up a lot to be with her. Not a good thing to do at this young age).
Have a fabulous Wednesday, y'all!

Alicia, I'm sure the MJ news will slack off some but with all the questions surrounding his death and will and custody of the kids, it won't be going away anytime soon. Enjoy your last day of vacation!
All you girls who plan on seeing Gary in Thackerville, the tickets are suppose to go on sale Monday. I called Winstar to ask them what time the tickets will go on sale online and how much they will be and they are not giving out any information.
If anyone else wants to try and get any info out of them then please try!
Connie, so glad that Bret is doing so much better. Sounds like his meds are doing the job and his stress level has decreased. I bet he ends up finding a new girlfriend when he starts college.

Jul 8 2009, 05:08 PM
Hey guys...just checking in!
Connie....congrats to Bret on being a "single man" again. If he hadnt done it before college....it would have happened during the first year of college for sure and probably not ended as cleanly.
Barb...thanks for the Thackerville info.
I spent my last day of vacation...getting SUNBURNED!! Whoo hoo! lol Spending an hour in 107 degree weather is all it takes to look like a tomato! Now Im about to eat steak, baked potato, and corn on the cob with my parents and Bo.

Yumm.

Connie good to hear that Bret's doing good...

My dad just called from Honduras today..one of cousins was in a car accident today and she hit her head..she is in a coma and having seizures. She's in surgery right now because for a head bleed..my dad couldn't give me to much info..but if you guys can keep her in your prayers...I greatly appreciate it...she's only 18y/o and the medical care is not the best over there...

Bren....sorry about your cousin. I hope things start getting better.
I think Im having second thoughts about going up to the Oklahoma shows in Sept.....I think it will really depend on how the Miami show goes. I might still buy my show tickets but I wont decide for sure if Im going until after the Miami show.
As for my last day of vacation....it didnt go as planned. Bo ended up not coming over after all....he went home after work to shower, when he got out of the shower his mom had taken his truck without asking and knowing that he was coming over here! She didnt get back home till 10pm! So he ended up not coming over. I was really irritated.
Well...now I got to get off and go for a run and then start getting ready for work.

welcome back Connie. Glad to hear things are going well for you and Bret. I'd say you all are way past due for some up times!
Barb-I got the same "info" from Winstar, not giving out alot of info there are they? Weird.
Alicia-I feel like I need to drive down to where you are and sit you down. What's this about not going to Gary's OK shows? Any particular reason or are you just over it? I know my sister said she feels like she's "seen" his shows and kinda doesn't care about whether she goes or not. Didn't get tickets for the OKC show yet because I'm waiting on missy. She says her husband can get them half price. now, onto your Bo. First of all, I don't think it's time to run. But, I do definetely think it's time to QUESTION things. How old is he? Why does he have a thing for making babies? And, he still lives with his mom? My first question besides why does he keep wanting babies would be why is he not handling the situation with this other girl that just popped up? It really makes me wonder why all of a sudden you talked about wanting a baby. Is he the kind of guy that is with a girl, gets her pregnant and walks away from the girl? Or it could be that he is just scared of what you'll do if it is his baby. Were you all together then? If not, then it shouldn't matter. however, as you know, baggage can be so annoying and it can destroy relationships. I've seen it happen. Sounds like someone needs to buy that kid a box of condoms FAST and teach him how to use them. Not time for running, but seriously take some time and THINK about him. I'm not sure that I could do it. But, that's just me. Also, the whole love conquers all theory is pure BS. that is stuff that fairytales teach young girls and we know that fairy tales are pure fiction. It's an idealistic take on things and it would be great if it were true, but unfortunately, it's not.

Jul 9 2009, 10:33 PM
Sue....when I saw Billy open for Sugarland and saw him walking around outside before the show, I would say he is at least 5'10"....around Gary's height. Thats not TOO bad.
Kalen...I dont know why Im thinking about not going to the OK shows in Sept. Maybe Im getting burnt out on going to shows...maybe Im thinking of the future truck payments...or maybe it has something to do with Bo, I finally have someone in my life I would rather spend time with. *shrugs*
Onto Bo situation...the girl didnt just POP up, I might have miss worded that earlier...he has know about it since they broke up but says that it isnt his. I think he is worried that it IS his and he is trying to make himself believe that there is no way it is by repeatedly saying "There is no way."...he is definitely not the type to walk away, which is why he really doesnt want it to be his bc he doesnt want a kid with her. If it is his, he will be there for it. He is 27yrs old and lives with his parents bc he is taking care of them....he pays all their bills for them. His dad cant work due to disability and his mom is just too lazy or something to get a job....so Bo is taking care of his parents. Honestly...him having kids with other girls isnt a big deal to me, I have always been open to being a step mom...it effects him more than it does me bc he has to pay for it.
Well....enough about my love life! lol I got to get to bed....I will talk to yall later!

Sue, I met Billy last summer and I was looking him in the eye. I am 5'4" so he couldn't be more than 5'5" or 5'6". They always seem taller on stage.

Hiya Kalen, Connie, Joni, Whitney and everyone else I might have missed.
Alicia, I was reading the story about Bo. I don't think it's a deal breaker but both of you guys have to face it, good or bad. If you don't and let it go, you might wind up resenting him. That's not a good thing.

Have fun at Keith tomorrow. I just heard them advertise it on the radio....Keith and Jason, should be a really good one.

You got a M&G with either one of them?

Wow...my life is a soap opera...I should sell the rights to my story to a tv network and finally get something from all this drama I go through!!
I went out "dancing" last night at a local bar/dance hall and found out why it kinda sucks to live in a small town.....2 of Bo's exes were there and a "used to be friend" of mine that he has not dated but has...YA KNOW.

So 3 people who were there to make me miserable! One of the exes was his pregnant ex! The one we have been talking about! I about hit the floor when I walked in and saw her! Thats the first time I have ever seen her in person. I was too scared to talk to her...but after I left one of my friends talked to her and supposedly she is pregnant...but she was DRINKING LIKE A FISH! Doing shots and all! Great mothering skills she has. So I thought that was enough to ruin my night....NOPE!! My "ex friend" decided to tell me some other stuff that caused big drama and a few tears to fall.
Gosh...I love my life, who wouldnt want my life!!
Well...I hope everyone has been having a great weekend so far!
Barb...I hope you had fun with Jason and Keith. I cant wait to hear about it.

Ah, Alicia, sorry to hear about all the drama in your life lately. I can see where your fun evening out was rained upon, so to speak. Even if you have the attitude that 'the past is the past' seeing and hearing things like that are bound to get to you. Hang in there!
It's rainy here today, so I was able to actually sleep in this morning. I'm feeling miserable because I have been breaking out with poison ivy for days now. I don't even know how I got it. Every day I have new spots--yuk! The OTC stuff provides only temporary relief. I may have to end up trying to go to the doctor tomorrow. Needless to say, I'm sticking close to home.
I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

Alicia- just remember they're an ex-friend for a reason...so maybe what they all told you wasn't true...just maybe wanted to see you upset!!! So just keep your head on straight and try to be positive about the situation with you and Bo....if it's meant to be it will happen!!

Good mornining everybody!
The Keith Urban concert Saturday night was fantastic!
I have to say it was the best concert I have seen in awhile. He came out into the audience twice and came out right by our section. If only I could have been on the end of our row I could have touched him. I don't want to give too much away because I don't want to spoil it for others like Kalen. Loved his light up guitar and the video screens. The video screens would angle down and for a few songs they would hang over the stage and light up and it looked like a ceiling over the stage. He had risers on both ends of the stage and a catwalk down the middle. He brought out Radney Foster to sing Songs About Rain with him because he wrote the song and is from Texas. Jason Aldean was really good also. I have a bunch of pictures but have not gotten them uploaded yet. I will post a link to them later.
I got my tickets this morning for Gary at Winstar and right after I bought them I got the email about the presale later today.
I'm going to try again and hope I get better.
Alicia, I hope all the drama with your friends and Bo goes away soon so you can just enjoy the relationship. Living in a small town like that, everybody knows your business.

Hellooo,
How was everyone's weekend? We beached it and had dinner with friends. All around fun until yesterday morning when the new neighbors' dog was off leash and he chased after me and my little Shea. I thought my bf and Stephanie were able to scare him off but he got away from them forcing me to toss Shea over the fence into the backyard. I just made it in myself.
Wow, when you read it back it's sorta funny.
No damage done but the new neighbor lady didn't even apologize.
They opened up 12 Tim Hortons today in the city. Does anyone have them in your hoods? I've only seen them in Canada but now we city folk have been blessed by the coffee gods.
Alicia - sorry about the drama!
Bren: glad to hear your cousin is getting a bit better. I hear my sister is visiting you in August - awesome!

I thought that too....so I asked Bo about it, he told me the whole truth and then begged, apologized, kissed, explained, and sucked up to no end! My thoughts are "people make mistakes" and he didnt
cheat on me which helped my decision to give him another chance. People give up on things too easy these days which is why there are so many divorces...Im a stubborn butt so I wont go down easy!!
Barb...cant wait to see your pictures from the show! Im glad you had fun.

I hope everyone is having a nice Monday so far. My week is not great....I work ALL THE TIME!! I hate being so reliable sometimes. I was supposed to work 4 doubles this week....I did get someone to cover my Friday night shift though so I will be able to go to the rodeo with Bo and Morgan, which makes the week a little better. So only 3 double this week for me.
Going ring shopping on Wednesday, Rodeo on Friday, and then Gary on Sat., and a day of hanging out with Kalen on Sunday!

Pretty jam packed week for me.
