I’ve Been a Bad, Bad Blogger

The above should be sung to the tune of “Criminal” by Fiona Apple. The first quarter of this year has really kicked my ass. Most specifically preparing for the housewares trade show in March. After March 14 I’m a free woman! I have never so looked forward to the end of a work project in my life! It’s truly hellish to prepare for this show! And getting back to being able to update this blog with some sort of regularity.

Billy Joel
I saw Billy Joel last night at Madison Square Garden and he rocked it out! I was so excited, in addition to being slightly tipsy, and so before long I was out of my chair, dancing and screaming the words. This morning, my voice was a little raspy meaning that my job as a concert-goer was well done. The highlight of the show was definitely him closing with Piano Man, which I once read he would never play in public again because he has sung it so many times he can’t do it with emotion. Sometimes, at concerts, I get so excited I actually begin to tear….it’s not something I’m proud of, but it’s what it is! I have to admit, I had to hold back the full-on sobbing of excitement to hear Billy Joel sing Piano Man in Madison Square Garden. It was almost too much joy for my little heart to bear.

Although I’m not an avid fan, next month I’m going to see Coldplay…which should be very cool.

Night
I’m onto book number four for the year, Night by Elie Wiesel. Since this is the only New Year’s resolution I am even remotely on track to keep, I’m just going to go with it.
