Last Sunday Kathy and I went to her family’s house in Ocean City, NJ and spent the night. The weather was totally gorgeous and we had a good time. It was kind of a “last hurrah” weekend there and all of the boardwalk merchants had big sidewalk sales. We just walked up and down the length of the boardwalk and shopped. I actually got a few Christmas gifts out of the way! It was one of those days where I literally had not a care in the world. Time wasn’t important—I was totally focused on the moment I was in. It was really great.
The Eagles game started at 4 and we got back to the house in time to watch the first half. At the end of the first half the Eagles were losing by a few points but we have to leave to head into Atlantic City to see Nick Lachey.
On our way there, Kathy took me to see Lucy the Elephant in Margate. I had never heard of Lucy before (my family is a Cape May/Wildwood family, so I’ve never been to Margate) Lucy’s a big elephant that used to be a hotel and now you can take tours inside her and whatnot. It was weird, but interesting to see.
I was very excited to see my love Nick Lachey, however, once we were in our seats I realized I’d have to go right on waiting to see him because he had not one, but two opening acts. One of the opening acts was the “jilted Annie.” (She was cast as Annie on Broadway some years ago and then right before it opened she was replaced by her understudy. I believe she either planned to sue or did sue). Her name is Joanna, or, as I like to call her “Jo-Annie.” (I just love being corny!)
Finally, Nick came out. It was a good show—he even took us way back in time and sang a couple 98 Degrees songs. He congratulated us on the Eagles winning (I already knew they won because I text messaged Jarred to find out during one of the opening acts). The crowd was good, not many little girls at all—in fact I only saw one group of six little girls. (They surely didn’t know any of the 98 Degrees songs!) They were with four grown women (I guess some of the moms?). One of the women needed to be part of my shawl ministry I discussed a couple of months ago because her chest was almost completely exposed—not the best influence for six little girls, I wouldn’t imagine, but I’m going to try to not judge. It did catch mine and Kathy’s eye though—whether we wanted it to or not. I suppose that was her goal from the start anyway (well, maybe not to catch our eye, but to catch someone’s eye). There were a lot of mother/daughter duos (women around my age and their moms) and there were far more men than you would have ever imagined. There are lots of really good boyfriends and husbands out there!
Also, I just love The Office. I thought I would randomly throw that out there.
Have a great weekend!
