Thanks for the recap Patty, you must have been exhausted the next day well probably the next night, the Daughtry high probably kept you going for a while,lol! Well I watched the show along with ya front row at home and it was FANTASTIC! OMG Rebel Yell I wanted MORE, MORE, MORE! Guess I will see ya tomorrow night for More, More, More! Can't believe my first show is already tomorrow. Can't wait! Taking a newbie from work so I am sure she will be hooked! It will be fun to see how a non-lifer reacts to the show. I know she will love it! Hope I can get to chat with ya Patty but I have no idea where I am sitting yet. I will text you when I finally get to find out....tomorrow at the box office. I don't think I would do this again I hate not having the tickets or knowing where the hell I am sitting but I know it will be fine.

I decided to take the train from Newark to New London, CT which is the closest train station to Foxwoods and where I am staying which is the Mystic Howard Johnson. The train leaves at 9:27 a.m. and arrives in CT at 12:30 so that should be perfect. I am meeting up with Jill and Alison initially as I am rooming with them and hopefully Patty, Nancy and all the other lifers later on. Wish I knew someone else from Jersey going to keep me company on the train but I have my handy ipod loaded with lots of Lifehouse, Daughtry and Cavo to entertain me on the ride and I can get a little R & R before the show so I am good to go,lol!

Love that the Daughtry ride has started again and loving all the excitement, videos and pictures!

Hope everyone takes advantage of this beautiful weather and goes outside and enjoys themselves! Have a wonderful weekend guys and I will definitely give you all the deets about tomorrow's show! New Jersey is going to show Daughtry lots of loving tomorrow night, can't wait!

Its tour time and I haven't slept I am at work and am extremely tired. of course it is worth no sleep to be at the 1st show.

Chris is sporting the hair. The batman intro is still part of the show and the band finally sang a bonus track! Chris did a great Rebel yell that would make Billy Idol proud. Steely's guitar solos were great. JP's solo killer he had so much energy. Chris was amazing and his vocals. perfect. Overall a high octane show. Leaving me wanting more, more, and more.A great start for the 3rd leg of the tour.

I know I have been MIA. It has been a month since I have been able to sit long enough at a computer or sit at all. Can only be on my feet 2 hours and sitting is like 10 minutes. I hurt my back twisted it somehow and it is being a real bit to try to get me back to normal. I am seeing a chiro and I told him he better figure this out by April 7 because that is my birthday Daughtry concerts and I have seat in row 5, center stage. He laughed and said he feels bad that we can't get this to settle down and he knew I meant business because he knows how much I love Daughtry. I see him again tomorrow. I feel like I have slipped into a big black hole and can't get out. Just on a whim I came to the site tonight and what a wonderful gift I received. Daughtry is the only thing that makes me feel better and you guys of course. WEREN'T THEY JUST AWESOME TONIGHT!! I WAS CRYING MOST OF THE TIME as the songs have so much meaning for all of us. So I told myself that because I was blessed with this awesome show I would promise to SHINE no matter how bad it gets. Tomorrow I am going to read back on all the threads and get in touch. I only hope that Yvonne was able to watch the show tonight but she is in such a different timezome than us I wasn't sure.

Also, my husband's job was phased out and as of Feb 28th he is amongst the millions of people that are unemployed. Theyy were nice enough to give him full pay for six months and his vacation money he had coming and a wonderful letter of recommendation. He uses the computer all day and is here every minute. Don't get me wrong I love the guy but 24/7 everyday is getting to me. He doesn't like my Daughtry music so that makes it hard because the only thing I have to play it on is the computer. I may go out and get a little cd stereo player tomorrow.

That's it for now, I am very tired. My pain pills are not working so now I am taking some sleeping pills that give me bad dreams - won't be taking them much longer. I am sure I will have lots more to say after I read back on the threads.

Night - Carol

I am so bummed. They bumped up the Daughtry concert 2 times now and I have something to do tonight which means I won't get to watch hardly anything but maybe a half hour. I am a little disappointed.... Hope Patty is having the time of her life and just has a ball!!

Hey!!

PATTY~HAVE A BLAST TONIGHT!! Can't wait to hear all about it. So cool you and Mary get to see one another on Sunday!
Big hugs to KARYN if she pops in here.

SHANNA~Hope your sister gets better soon. I didn't really do anything for St. Patty's. But I did wear green. lol

MAR~I just saw in the Ed thread that more dates will be added soon!! Great news!! So excited for your show on Sunday. I know you will have a blast. Are you going with someone to that one?

Have a great day lifers!

I wasn't surprised by the bottom 3 last night on AI. I liked Orianthi. Love her accent.

Mary yeah don’t know why those stupid young girls are keeping Tim around. He is not good. But I was okay with the one girl leaving but felt it should have been him. And Crystal and Casey were my picks of the night so I am glad they both are moving on.

Terri thanks so much!! I am not sure when it’s going to be but I’ll keep you posted on her progress.

Thanks Patty. The doctor didn’t want to say anything to her b/c she was worried she still wanted another child but they already decided along time ago that were going to stop now so I am sure she is just nervous and scared.
Have a great time at the show!!! That is awesome it’s finally here. Don’t you feel like we’ve been waiting forever for this tour to start back up?

How was everyones St. Patty’s Day? Mine wasn’t that great. My sunglasses broke, I went to class reading the wrong chapter that was like 50 pages long and contained almost 100 hw questions. Our books differ a bit from the rest of the class since they’re newer and she failed to tell us so we got screwed. I spent 7 hrs yesterday trying to finish it up and all for nothing. On top of that my skin is itching really bad and doing awful and I just feel so exhausted all the time and like I don’t have time for anything else except school related stuff and an occasional trip to the gym. I hope tomorrow goes better b/c I need it. Are you any of you catching the show tomorrow via the web? I hope to catch part of it but I know I am going to the gym at a certain hour to try the Zumba thing and start work on this project so my whole weekend is not devoted to that entirely. Well good night. Talk to you soon. Sorry I’m not around as much…

1 more day to go!! I am ready!

Goodmorning Happy Saint Patrick's Day!! Have a great day!

1 more day until the tour begins!!

have to leave for class here very shortly. Last night I went to the gym but only did the treadmill.Slowly getting myself back into it and don't want to overdo things. I was on there for 45 minutes so that was a good start and I am doing okay just have this little cramp at the top of my leg but it's all good. Tonight or Fri or something we're going to try the whole Zumba thing and I am really looking forward to that.

yesterday in class all we did was busy work, some coding exercises of the cardiovascular system. It wans't even coding class but whatever. I was really frustrated at first and ready to be done with but after a break, talks with my gropus and laughter and a hug my mood changed and I was able to focus more and than worked on it with a couple of them adn that really seemed to help!!

My sister found out she's probably going to have to get a hysterectomy. I forget what they found but it might have been caner related so they'll be removed than after a few months it'll probably grow back and that is when she'll need surgery. I watched Dalton most of the morning b/c her husband accidently kicked her in his sleep and she fell off the bed and hit her head on the nightstand. She said it was bleeding and she took a shower and tried to stay awake for a bit but she cancelled her class today b/c she knew this was one time she should not be driving. But he doesn't believe her and thinks she was having a dream b/c he wouldn't do that. But things can hapen and I know she's not making it up.

Well hope you all are having a great day. I can see you Patty smiling and exciting. I hope I'll be able to watch it online. I might have to miss a bit with school and things but we'll see and I hope my workout will be pushed later into the night. Well really ahve to go. Talk to you later. bye.

PATTY~ are you getting giddy with excitement? Almost time for you!! And Mar, you have one this weekend too!! Can't wait to hear all about the shows. I have 3 weeks until my 1st one.

Have a good day everyone!!

Goodmorning Ladies!! Thanks Mary for your well wishes! Tour time is almost here 3 more days until Baltimore and I am getting giddy with excitement I hope you all have a great Monday!! Smile!!

It's been a while now I know, damn Twitter,lol!

Shanna sending prayers your sister's way! Hope you feel better too! Hope school gets better, at least you are learning a lot it seems. Sucks you don't have a lot of shows out by you but even if you can get to some. Yeah the East and West coasts seem to always have a lot. Although I can't go to quite as many as Patty. My hubby would divorce me. I am going to the Prudential Center next Sunday and Foxwoods the following Saturday. I all but have my hubby committed to going to Hershey Park on 8/6. The kids wanted to go to Hershey Park anyway so this is just an added bonus for me! At least I have and August show to look forward to. Still hoping for a show where I can meet up with some of the lifers I haven't met yet. I know I will eventually meet all of you but wish it were sooner than later.

Patty saying prayers for your Mom, hope things improve for her. I hope to see you next Sunday and if not definitely at Foxwoods!

Haven't seen Bre in here lately....hope all is well with her! Miss ya SIT oh wait you are the Stalker Trainer not the Stalker in Training, that's me,lol!

Linda hope all is going well with your home renovations, trying to get my hubby to start doing some more things around our house. Miss seeing you on Twitter more. Now you really are the Phantom Tweeter.

Ter, sounds like you are also busy with the home renovations. Would love to do our bathroom over but for now I can live with it and would rather concentrate on painting the rooms first. Are you going to any other shows besides the St. Louis and Chi-town shows?

To Anyone watching Project Runway who are your Final Three? I hope it comes down to Jay, Seth and either Maya or Mila. I think they are the top 4 designers.

American Idol picks for me Crystal Bowersox and Andrew Garcia. I like Casey James and I really liked Lily but everyone else is just OK to me, nothing great. Well big Mike was excellent the last two weeks, gotta give it to him! It sucks Lily was kicked off so soon and that the judges didn't decide to do a top 13 like last year with Anoop Desai. Surely Lily has more potential than Anoop. I really believe some might be happy she got kicked off because she would be competition for Crystal and I think they really like Crystal.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. We had lots of flooding by me. We had no power last night but my hubby didn't seem to mind,lol! It was pretty scary with all the trees that were coming down and the howling winds. We were by my sister-in-laws for everyone in the family whose birthday is in March BIrthday Celebration! She received a reverse 911 call stating that all the residents in her town were to evacuate to a higher ground. I immediately thought of Chris singing Higher Ground on American Idol,lol, no joke! Everyone was panicked and she didn't know what to do. I said we should wait and see because she isn't near the river or a brook so I couldn't see why they would be evacuating her. She received another call stating to stay where they were so everything worked out.

Talk to you all soon, have a great night! HUGS!!!

I like the countdown too!

PATTY~We have been getting lots of rain too.Hope you don't have any problems with flooding! HUGS! How is your mom doing?

SHANNA~Oh no, that doesn't sound good. I would encourage your sister to go back to the doctor and have that checked out. Could she have a blood sugar problem? I was trying to remember what all they checked last time?

Almost done with our bathroom project. It's looking really good. Did a little shopping for the kids yesterday too.

Hope you all have a great Sunday!

I love the countdown. It's very exciting and awesome and a reminder to people so they won't forget it or for those who have no idea what is going on. You have a long continuous countdown I am sure.

terri its a monsoon here but I will take rain over snow any day! How is your weekend going?

What do you think of the countdown it feels like nYE all over again!

Shanna I have 3 vip's for march and 3 for June. You need to move to the East Coast they do alot of shows out here!

I wish I was going to 8 shows and having some back to back is pretty awesome. How many VIP"s are you doing?

How are you ladies doing today? I am all right just have a really sore neck this morning and it hurts really bad. Guess I slept on it wrong or something while I was sleeping. But the sun is out and it's a lovely day. I hear it's supposed to be like 80 tomorrow so that will be nice. Tonight I am going to Preston's baseball game and also have to work on a powerpoint presentation and review 50 abbrivations I have to know. Both need to be done and memorized in a week and a half but I don't want to put it off until exactly the last minute.

Will you please do me a favor and keep my sister in your prayers. She is going through so much right now and she is also worried b/c she got a call from her doctor and got some bad news about test results from a pap. She goes in Monday to find out exactly what is wrong with her and will take it from there. I hope she's okay. Thanks for that.

Terri I was shocked when Lily got sent home last night and Megan stayed b/c she is not good and what is with Tim sticking around too. He should not be in the top 12. I think viewers made some bad decisions.

Patty wow I'd be hopping up and down right about now and getting very excited for what is to come. How far apart are all of your Daughtry shows?

Well have to go to class. check in later this weekend.

Patty ~I agree. I would loved to see the Final Four performance. Almost tour time for you girly!!

Shanna~I agree. I like Crystal, Casey too. I also like Siobhan and a couple others. But this season is very dull so far.

TGIF-what are you guys doing this weekend? We are working on the start of a bathroom remodel. And the kids are out of school today and hubby is off, so we are going out to eat and maybe seeing a movie later. Have a good day lifers!! hugs!

1 more week until Baltimore!! I am so excited!

I wish I could do the Final 4 show Daughtry and the goo Goo Dolls love both those band.

I am so excited scored 2nd row to the Goos show in PA. I have not seen them in a while.almost 2 years.

It turned out to be more a socialization gathering than actual studying. We tried and we were all so confused. We did some of the exercies in class and didn't do all the extra crazy stuff I thought we'd be stuck with b/c hte past people dont' have all that in their book and she thinks it's too difficult so than I got the confidence that I was going to do all right but I got a 70% and that upset me and brought me down and now I am sad and mad at myself and feel like I failed.

I just got a call from one of the girls in my class and they're all struggling too and it was suggested that we go in early and try to work together and see what happens. I knew I wasn't the only one who was having a hard time and I think it's great they we're going to help each other and be on the same page.

Well have to get ready and eat. Check in later.

Patty~I have spring fever too!! It's supposed to be over 72 today!! YAY! But then we are supposed to get storms. lol

Shanna~Glad you are feeling better. LMAO at your comment about hitting the "witch" with your car! Are you going to school for a medical field job? Do you like the coding class?

Linda~Did you enjoy your bike ride?

Did you guys watch AI last night?
Crystal is my pick. I also like Siobhan and Lilly. Hope all 3 make the top 12. I am liking Siobhan more each week. And I really like Crystal. Hope her being a front runner now won't hurt her chances and her get the early boot. ><

Have a good day guys!

Glad you are feeling better!

Now you just have to believe in yourself. That is like my daughter who is so nervous about taking the bar this summer. She scored really high on the 1st part of it last summer, but that did not alleviate her anxiety.

I just wanted to stop in and say hi. It is such a gorgeous day outside today! Sun is shining and temp is in the upper 50's or low 60's. I am gonna take a bike ride instead of going to the gym and then spend some time outside. I have a meeting tonight at church, so I want to take advantage of my unencumbered time while I can.

Have a great day, Lifers.
