My brother refers to me as Cyndi Lauper. When I am rushing, I have a tendency to throw on a lot of bold pieces instead of t-shirts and sweat pants. Fortunately, my husband is South American so he thinks bold colors and styles are fun. We wouldn’t be married if I dressed like a school teacher from 1985. So there’s that.
I get dressed every single day with care when I go to work, so it’s hard to make myself be proper and acceptable on my days off. I throw on whatever and go. The thing is, my closet is wonderful since I work in retail management. When I try to get dressed like a regular person, it’s a time consuming challenge, so it doesn’t happen often.
This day, was a shopping and movie day so comfort was the thing. When I say shopping, I don’t mean shopping. We do not shop for fun, mindless purchases. It may be coffee, a cell phone repair and a health supplement errand. I don’t want to make it seem like this man takes me to Louis Vuitton or anything. I am lucky if he will step inside a Ross or TJ Maxx. There was that one time in a Prada store in Paris, but that was once in a 10 year span of time.
At this point in my life, having a lot of stuff is not my goal. Time, cash and cutting down on my acquisition of meaningless things is my focus. Learning, staying focused on reality and being a loving person are important. It is just as easy to throw on something fun though, than something that resembles vomit.

I never go to concerts. I am only interested in seeing people I absolutely love and who I think have tons of talent. Two days before Journey and Def Leppard came to town, I decided to buy tickets. Somehow, for there were two great seats left at the last minute at Toyota Center.
We both love Journey (…and yes, Steve Perry is fabulous but he left and they found Arnel Pineda years ago and I wanted to go respect his Journey.) I think it’s so cool that they picked him. His journey from poverty is amazing and you should really watch the documentary about him.)
The day of the concert, it’s raining cats and dogs, humid as hell and hot and sticky. I did not feel like dealing with hair. A fun, crazy hat was the answer. That’s kind of the backstory of this post. I do not typically walk around in tiny shorts and tanks, but it was a concert after all.
The concert was September 3rd, and we made a memory together! Def Leppard was there as well which was another group that I listened to way too much back in the day. Actually, when I work out, they are in my playlist! I remember when all of their great songs came out, I was in high school. High school generally sucks for a lot of kids and their music is their escape. Journey made you always think of finding love one day once you’re able to escape the confines of your parent’s home and High School life in which it’s really hard to learn much of anything.
Here it is a zillion years later, and everything is perfect. I was a rebel then, a rebel still but I can conform enough to build a life along within the masses. The music takes you back. When you go back, you think of the journey you’ve taken and what it took to get you where you are or are not. And while it was nice to go backwards, it’s even nicer to keep moving forward.
