Height Challenged

OK, So here I am this 5 foot 1 inch person and I am standing in a crowd. I see nothing but shoulders to all these average height people. It drives me nuts. I went to see Kings of Leon Wednesday night at The Palladium. It was a sold out show, the first time I have ever been there at a time like this. Needless to say, the concert was GREAT! I loved every sweaty minute of it. All except for the height factor. It's like I am a magnet to those who are at least 6 inches taller than me. I will find a perfect viewpoint them BAM! all of a sudden I see nothing but shoulders.
Do you think they will let me bring my own soapbox or booster to carry around and stand on just so once, I can actually see what I am paying for?

Taking time to relay my thoughts..

This week has been a whirlwind of chaos. I have so many thoughts I am not sure where to start.

Let's see..
Saturday Night, I joined a group of friends in going to see The Roots, Gym Class Heroes, and Estelle at the Palladium. The concert was great to say the least. We ended up leaving a bit early because we were sadly disappointed the Roots were not headlining. In the midst of this concert, one of our friends decided he was hungry and wanted to leave. Not thinking it was rude to the people he carpooled with. (Selfish act number one) He decided to leave the venue and go next door to find some food. Or so we were led to believe. As the 5 of us were ready to go and grab a bite to eat (after the concert), we started to look for number 6. He was no where to be found, we rang his cell and he answered but quickly hung up. We figured, maybe he is at the car, nope, no where to be found. So we head to Hooters to get a bite to eat. Thinking maybe he just headed home, given that his house was only down the street. Turns out, he was not home, his other half became fearful since it is Downtown and all and there are some strange characters lurking in the city. So I ride around with her to look for him. He is not answering ANYONE'S phone calls. So by this time she is sort of freaking out. Can you blame her? Anyway.. because this is so long, and really just annoying.. I will get to my point.
When you are at a particular age in life and you have children and a live-in girlfriend, there comes a time you need to grow the hell up and act like a responsible, considerate, respectful human being. You should let people KNOW where the heck you are, not come home and say that you should not call your family unless it has been over 24 hours. If you answered the phone, things never would have snowballed the way they did. You can not continue to act like some rebellious teenager who skips out on curfew and thinks its OK because it is not.

Ahh.. Ok, well this week for the most part has flown by so quickly.

Monday we bowled, I noticed that Steph and I are in 4th place. Not bad for Rookies.
Tuesday I worked, prepared for my class I will teach then joined some some associates at ABOR nights-- realtor function with free food and drinks. heehee
Yesterday, I went to Decatur to my boss's Dad's Funeral. It was nice, unconventional, and also humorous. I also fell in my shower-- talk about waking up, it scared me to death.. I am not sure if this has ever happened to anyone, but surely this is not a way to have one of those freak accidents.. I hurt my shoulder and banged my head pretty badly. Once I composed myself-- like there was much to do. hehee I started thinking, what if I knocked myself out? Nobody is home to come find me and if I did and someone did come, they would see me naked!!! OMG! that can't happen, I may start showering in my bathing suit. I am OK today.. just sore and of course I can joke about it now.. but jeez.

And today.. I am just glad it's Thursday and this week is so close to being over.

I wonder what's in store for me for the weekend to come.
