we be jammin'

Those 2 tickets have been the source of a ridiculous amount of drama in my life lately and who doesn't love drama right?

Remember a while back I mentioned Jex puts a lot of thought into his gifts? Well those 2 tickets were a result of his wonderful thinking aka my Christmas gift.

So now that Jex and I are no longer together he wants the tickets back. It has been a huge back and forth battle; via emails of course. Apparently they weren't a gift for me but for us. I don't get it. I have a lot of things to say about this issue but that's not exactly what this post is about. The end result is I'm going and he won't be accompanying me. Maybe that's a completely bitchy move on my part, maybe it's not. End of discussion. Period.

Now I have an extra ticket!
Problem already solved.
My best friend Amanda (Nora) will be going with me. She is absolutely the greatest. Completely. Totally.Go read her blog too! She started me blogging but she hasn't been blogging herself a whole bunch. Go visit her, light a fire under her ass and make that change. She's über funny.
Her and I together = trouble!

Me being a single mom with few chances to hang my "Mom Hat" up and be the 20something year old I am and her being a mom to two wild and crazy boys who also doesn't get the chance to hang up her "Mom Hat" and be the *cough*something year old, we are going to enjoy this concert for every damn thing it is worth!

She's never been to a concert, I've never been to anything that mattered. We've also never done a road trip of sorts so this is what we're going to do.
We're leaving on Friday and not coming back till Sunday!
Seriously freakin' excited!!
When motherhood starts at 20 things like this do that to ya.
Granted it is only Maine to New Hampshire, but when you live in East Bum Fuck Maine and it will take at least 5.5 hours to get there, we are not going to just make this a day trip.

Friday: drive drive drive
Friday night: concert with Matt Nathanson, Billy Currington, and and and... Sugarland!
After concert: drive half hourish to a cheap hotel (we want extra play money for the weekend)
Saturday: whatever-wherever in NH: feel free to submit your ideas
Saturday night: find another cheap hotel
Sunday: few things here and there and then drive drive drive

All that drive...drive... driving means we need mu... mu... music! I have a decent collection of tunage but there must be a roadtrip playlist. You can't argue with the fact that some music is better for driving than others. I want to load up my iPod, another thoughtful Jex gift, with great music! Really great music. Yes, I could upload all my Matt Nathanson, Billy Currington, and Sugarland tunes but I mean really, come on, I want more.

What do you have on your playlists? What do you jam to when you're driving? Leave me your thoughts and ideas. I have a pretty eclectic taste in music. Amanda does too; or at least she will for that weekend.
