So Much Suspense and a Celebratory Event Announcement!!

Oh my word!  I love all of the flutter around what my big reveal is regarding the bucket list item.  And, I have gotten some great suggestions for the 20 things to add to my list.  Have you added yours yet???? Don't miss out; if it's something really cool and I pick it, I might invite you along:) 

Alright, let's get down to business.  I am having the second Celebratory Event THIS WEEKEND IN ROCHESTER!!!  There is so much to celebrate....it's my cousin's birthday- yay Kyle!  It's his wife Kari's baby shower, I'll be celebrating my mom's upcoming birthday AND Chris Daughtry is going to be in concert!  What the heck else would be more appropriate than a 40X40 Celebratory Event?? 

Here's the deal:

Saturday at O'Callaghan's I will host the first event at 5:15pm with a second event around 11pm (after the concert) back at O'Calls.  I am looking for all my Roc friends that have been so supportive already with the journey to join me for one of the events.  Hey, if we haven't seen each other in awhile, stop out- it's a great reason for an impromptu mini reunion.  Don't forget the important details...I buy the first $40 worth of whatever...in this case, probably drinks.  For this special occasion, I will do this for both time events.  I do need to reveal an important caveat to the 5:15 event.... There is a slight chance that a second item on my bucket list could become a reality.  If this is the case, I will post an announcement on Facebook and the blog to cancel the 5:15 event as soon as I know....and then we'll party at 11ish and I'll tell you all about it!!! If you don't see a post stating it's cancelled, we're on as planned.

Recently I was having a conversation with a friend of mine about the 40X40.  She said, "I don't know how I feel about this whole secretive side of you."  She was referencing my excitement about securing a bucket list item but not telling her what it was until I "revealed it on the blog."  My response went something like this (minus quotations because it will be too much work and stupid)...so, one of the reasons I am doing this adventure and using the blog is because I am a fairly private person.  I work in an environment that is subject to public opinion and in the public eye, I work hard and play hard...but don't always include as many of my close folks as I should...and I don't always take a lot of personal risks.  Sooo, it's not that I am being secretive, I am actually just being more public about what's happening and telling you that I am not telling you about it (making it seem like a secret).  Does that make any sense???  In the end, you'll know more (probably more than you wanted) and I will have shared more.  It's really just my way of still having control over the situation...that's a conversation for another day...and no, Jason, you may not claim "give up control" as one of the items for my list!

Oh, you're still reading because you want to know the first bucket list reveal??  Ok, here it is.  If you are a really close friend to me (family or otherwise), you are one of the few that know I am a closet Pink! fan.  I guess when you have a blog and state you like something, you aren't really in the closet about it anymore.  Nonetheless, I am a huge Pink! fan and I have always, ALWAYS, always wanted to see her in concert.  I don't know why, but I connect with her music on some level regardless of how ridiculous that seems and am sure that seeing her live is a great experience and one that has been on my bucket list for awhile.  Guess What???

I'M GOING TO SEE PINK! LIVE IN CONCERT!!!!

AND I CAN'T WAIT....

AND YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO JUDGE...

It's my bucket and we're throwing Jason in it and heading to my favorite state of North Carolina to see Pink! in Charlotte over St Patty's Day weekend!  What's better than seats that are so good you describe the cost as "you can't put a price tag on the experience" and a venue that's close to one of my closest friends and great family??  Nothing right now- it's a "Happy" moment and he'll be joining us!
