This was definitely a bucket list item. It seems fairly simple, but I have never been in the habit of treating myself to a lot of things that I actually should. My daughter knows how much I love JT and bought me tickets to see him at Wrigley Field (he's doing a ball field tour) on June 30. I don't know many people who love the music as much as I do, so I was hard-pressed to decide who to share the other ticket with. To my surprise and delight, my 18-year old baby boy said he'd go with me and I didn't even ask. I know he knows the music. You don't grow up with me as a mom and not know the James Taylor songbook. But I didn't think he'd be interested in going. Best decision ever. We had a great time and he discovered Jackson Browne. He recognized a few of the more popular songs but really loved some of the lesser-known ballads. I love that my children are open-minded enough to explore, discover and enjoy a lot of things that may not on the surface seem "cool". It also makes car rides a lot easier when they share my great taste in music!
I almost crossed off another little item last weekend, but decided against six hours of driving to visit a lavender farm. I promise (myself) that I will get to it in the next couple of weeks but first I have to finish packing up the store. After that, a full-on house cleaning so that I can enjoy two weeks off (Mom is going to Iowa), maybe putting Gizmo in the kennel for a few days of boarding, and a much-needed massage. As far as that list goes, who knows what's next! I'm pretty committed to knocking off at least five items by the end of summer. If you're interested in joining me, just let me know.
