And I ain't gonna lie, as it came near time to enter the building, and I saw people walk to the front of the line because others held a spot in line for them, I felt like I was in 2nd grade again, muttering "no fair cutting the line" and "if I have to wait this long..." and "if I have to battle the sand gnats for over an hour" and then to see them fill up the good spots when seated, it was no fair.
.
But then because I was in the back, I was by the aisle, which Gladys Knight walked through, where she was shaking hands, and lo and behold, she shook mine!!
.
Then I thought, maybe the cutters (in line) don't care about shaking (of hands) and so maybe the cutters and the shakers are just where they should be.
.
And then I watched the most amazing preformance ever and I was happy and no longer muttering about fairness or the lack there of.
.
Until today, as I scratch all the bug bites. Even the 7 bites on my left knee cap alone.
(update: I demanded a recount, it's 9 bites, and that's not including the back of my knee)
.
But not really. Actually, I am scratching and floating at the same time.
.
Because life is good.
.
I love Gladys Knight. And her husband!

Very cool, always loved her music.
I heard she went to Alaska once and her "Pips" froze.
AniC- You should be.
Dar- I know.
Meg- Thanks!!!
Haynsy- Me too! And I always wondered what happened to her pips. :)
Susette- I will if you put my button on your blog. :)
I am soooooo jealous! I only got to watch the performance from afar! Rich gets to be near her when he and Abe are cleaning up afterwards, you get to shake her hand, and Rusty gets a hug and kiss on the cheek, so unfair!
Well now I am jealous of Rusty for getting a hug!! hahaha!!
By the way, picture taking and video taking were not allowed in, and of course I knew it, but I wanted a picture of the crowd SO bad. But I was scared I was going to be rushed and tackled to the ground if caught, so I very descretely got what I did. ;-)
Oh! i so wish I hadn't listened to all the warnings about only investigators and nonmembers and that we had gone! Next time!..........
I had Devin's mom coming with me.... until the day before when she cancelled. :( But I had the tickets so I went ahead and went, and took Wes, whose been MIA a lot lately so I thought maybe he counted. :)
Yeah, what is crazy about Rich and I is that he had three people come, but they went to the 8:15 performance while we went to the 5:30. One of them is actually going to have a discussion. :)
Aw, that's AWESOME Carrie!!!
