Hmmm

Music: Dragonfly in Amber audio book - Diana Gabaldon
Book: Drums of autumn

How sick is this? I'm reading two of Ms. Gabaldon's books at the same time but I just love her. After finishing Breath of Snow and Ashes I had to do it all over again. She's just a marvelous read.

My show in Mankato was eventful to say the least. Smaller crowd than usual, but full enough with couples enjoying the music quietly. Then I had a heckler who said I was going to die alone and began rubbing his genitals while making other lewd gestures in my direction. Several of the audience members became uncomfortable and we all tried to ignore him. I made it through three songs - all the time with my left eye twitching as I got madder and madder until finally I ended a song and told him he was the biggest asshole I'd ever encountered, in any bar, anywhere in the world. He continued with his gestures and got louder so I asked him to step outside. Lulckily the bar owner stepped in to handle the situation and the guy was no longer a bother as he wasn't allowed in the bar. I'm guessing there are a few shocked patrons still recovering from my vulgarity and annoyance, however, I dare anyone to switch places with me and then we'll see what happens after a verbal and physical assault on your person during work hours. Im still pissed at that guy and sad at the same time that he felt the need to be hateful during Christmas.

Ending on a happy note...Christmas was a treat this year. I made standing rib roast with yorkshire pudding and green beans. We feasted like kings and then visited with friends in Prior Lake - *gasp* - the burbs! Good times were had by all. Happy New Year...

SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

Music: nothing
Book: nothing

I'm out of books and have temporarily misplaced my ipod within the confines of my dining room. I suspect my cat is playing with it, but I'm not concerned - she's very gentle with her toys. It is snowing like mad outside and I couldn't be happier. Lovely to look at and everyone seems to be driving nice and slow to accomodate the mush covering the roads. And we get snow for the next few days!

Mr. Fiance leaves for his bachelor party in Vegas tomorrow morning and my mother is coming into town to shop and spa for the weekend. *smile* I have shows shows and more shows at the Mall of America: This Friday 3pm & 5pm at the Nordstroms court, Monday 12/19 4pm & 6pm at Macy's court and finally 12/20 2pm at the Sears court & 4pm at Macy's. I know you have shopping to do so you might as well get it done with a bit of background music.
