concert hell.

the past few weeks have been extremely intriguing. life has had a lot to offer and much has changed. i've tackled events such as my mother's sixtith birthday, valentine's day, and this past weekend which was made up of loryn and my mother's three friends from high school coming into town. however, there were positive aspects of those chaotic events. i bought my mother tickets to see her new favorite band, celtic woman, play tomorrow evening in jacksonville. let me elaborate on the obsession my mother has for this ridiculous group of irish women. for christmas this year, like every year, nicole, my mother, and i get presents from santa claus although nicole and i recognize the fact that it is just my mother and not some mythical entity which fits down chimneys in houses that don't exist and can somehow make it all around the world in that short timeline. however i digress. my mother fills her stocking every year, wraps herself gifts, and then pretends to be extremely surprised to see what "santa has brought her". normally she buys herself the yearly gifts of razors, lotion, oranges (note nicole and i get all three of these things also), and random gifts such as last year's sewing machine. this year's random "mommy treat" was the celtic woman christmas cd. the next three weeks of nicole and i's home experience were filled with christmas carols in both gaelic and english. due note that christmas was three weeks before hand which means my mother extended the holiday season well into january. now she has purchased their "regular albums" and the celtic torture continues. so flashback to christmas morning. cheryl unwraps her new favorite possesion

^^^yet another unfinished stream of consciousness. however, cheryl's birthday concert went well, minus a few setbacks.
