Last night we did something crazy. We went to Lilith Fair. Outdoor concert, six hours long. Loud. Both kids did AWESOME. I was there for Marty and Emily of the Dixie Chicks Courtyard Hounds. So much more to say about the concert, but had to share this…
Mary J. Blige was incredible. She is just such a soulful, love filled, strong, strong presence. When she was singing her hit, No More Drama, she was really giving it her all, passionately jumping in the air, then she went down to a crouch, etc. Riley leaned over to me and whispered,
“She’s actually being quite dramatic.”

I am so, so proud of Riley & Seth for being able to handle Lilith fair! That is no small feat, my friend.

Wise and funny, too, your Riley.
LOL!! That is too cute and sooo funny!!! How perceptive!!
Was Sheryl there? (You know, my BFF.)
Courtney,
She was not.
Sounds great! And Riley’s right – pffft!
Love that kid. Six hours would have been overload for me!
Wow – so great that the kids did well with it! And I just LOVE what Riley said, the fact that she got it. She is truly a wonder. xoxo
Lol. She makes an excellent point. Did you tell her that it’s usually a good rule that as soon as someone says, ‘i’m not being dramatic’ they probably are? 😉
No surprise that Riley is wise. She’s going to be a Wisdom Teacher, you know.
Haha!
I LOVE me some MaryJ. Love her. So cool you did that! It came here, but we couldn’t swing it in time.
🙂
Sorry Courtney’s BFF wasn’t there.
