I’m going to do THANKFUL Thursdays in November and I’d like to kick things off with friend my Deana! Marathon cheerleader and travel partner extraordinaire! Clearly Ireland is most recent and memorable, but we’ve also had fantastic times in NYC, at Busch Gardens, and at countless David Cook concerts!
Today’s my first day back at work since my trip and it’s been a doozy! I just ate lunch at 3:45pm, due to my schedule still being off and just craziness (some fun, some sad, some stressful).
I took yesterday off to fully re-adjust, however day light savings and the brightness had me up early and of course last night I drove to Annapolis for a David Cook concert* that didn’t get me home until 12:30am and I didn’t fall asleep until 1:30am.
You’d think tonight I could catch up on sleep, but NOPE. I have another David Cook concert in DC tonight. No rest for my one of my top 3 favorite guys (he’s in good company with Freddie and T, but the order is always changing).
*Last night’s show was an acoustic set, that freakin’ jerk made me cry with one of his re-tooled for the acoustic show songs. Seriously it was a phenomenal show, his opener Andrew Riggs also was great. And OF COURSE, I had to stay after to chat with David. Got 2 hugs, chatted about my Ireland trip, his love of the Royals, and tattoos. No pictures because I was “playing it cool,” but we’ll see if I go to a picture tonight.

T bought us David Cook tickets for this Friday since I wasn’t able to go yesterday! Is that love or what?!
David Cook is less than $18,000 away from his $1 Million for Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure milestone.
We’re hoping to reach the goal TONIGHT before his benefit concert. Please considering donating to this cause on Giving Tuesday today. https://www.crowdrise.com/dc1million
This is a cause near and dear to my heart that I’ve been involved with since 2009. I’ve run 5 Race for Hope 5Ks over the years and was on ABC2’s LA Marathon team with David in 2012.
$1,000,000 for Brain Cancer Research! | David Cook ‘s Fundraiser on CrowdRise
David Cook has rappelled down a building, run a marathon & 6 5K’s, donated his time & voice, all leading to this. $1 Million for Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure.
I’ve run 5 of those 5Ks with him, in fact his first one inspired me to start running! And I also ran the LA Marathon as part of his team! Please considering this cause near and dear to my heart. I’d love to see David hit $1 Million while he is in DC for his fundraising concert on 12/2.
How does it feel to know you’re everything I need
The butterflies in my stomach
They could bring me to my knees
How does it feel to know you’re everything I want
I’ve got a hard time saying this
So I’ll sing it in a song

Great show last night, I loved sharing one of my favorite musicians and lyricists with T. My favorite quote of the night however goes to T who said he wasn’t ”emu” and I died laughing and said I think you mean “emo.”
In “Rocker Barbie” mode for @nickthomasmusic tonight!
Spending 9:30 at 9:30 Club with Andrew McMahon! (at 9:30 Club)
I’m so glad I’m back in the swing of going to concerts and somehow able to see some of my favorite artists multiple times lately!
Coming up:
Earlier this year:
Bonus: I saw Hedwig and If/Then on Broadway which aren’t concerts exactly, but I mean come on NPH and Idina are both legit
