I saw Taylor Swift and Rascall Flatts last night and all I got was this stupid picture:


And fun memories of course! George and I went to the Rascall Flatts concert at the Tacoma Dome with Tyler, Lindsay, Mike and Stephanie. I actually think that time we spent together leading up to the concert was way more amusing than the concert itself, but still had so much fun! The PLAN was to meet together at 5pm, drive to Tacoma, eat dinner, then be at the arena a little bit before 8pm so Tyler wouldn't miss Taylor Swift...ok...so we all wanted to see her too:) Anyways, not one person thought ahead of time to make reservations anywhere so we pretty spent over an hour just trying to find somewhere. Even on the way there, Subway was suggested and George so brilliantly replied, "Is there Subway in Tacoma?" Again, the man I married isn't full of the brightest questions in the book lately. Someone else in the group, I won't name names (Tyler) even went as far as trying to convince us to eat a hot dog and chicken bake at Costco. Um, no thanks. So by now...I'm starving, I can't even concentrate on anything else but food and finally convinced myself to let's just eat pizza. So we set out for the nearest dine in Pizza Hut. Who are we kidding? 3 Pizza Huts later, we found one and by now, it's seriously like 6:45pm. I have to pee like a racehorse so I never ran so fast into that restaurant, found the bathroom to relieve myself. Not even two seconds later, Stephanie comes rushing into the bathroom herself only to open up the door for the world to see me peeing. I really did "lock" the door...it's Tacoma people, why would I have thought it worked in the first place? So after that laugh, we ordered, someone then walked in on Stephanie in the bathroom (she was luckily finished) and we sat down to eat. Surprisingly, random Pizza Hut in a random part of Tacoma never tasted to so good. This is where our random photo was taken too. Oops, but its now 7:45pm so we bum rush out of there and head to the Dome, where of course is hella traffic just to get off the freeway. 20 minutes later we have exited and set out to find parking. We clearly weren't going to find parking AT the arena seeing as though its already past 8 and there was a big sign that said, "LOTS FULL" so we all braced ourselves to pay the stupid 50 dollars for parking elsewhere. Yes folks, 50 dollars. HOWEVER, because our evening so far was more than we could handle, we turn right off the freeway and are waiting in a line of cars to find a lot to park in and all of a sudden this man walks out of a store and is parked right on the side of the road, right by us! Is this luck or what? He points to us, asking if we wanted his spot and we were like, Hell yeah we want your spot. So we all fly out of the car and George parks. No 50 dollars and 1 block from the arena. We did miss all of Taylor Swift but like one song, but want to hear the best part? The road we were parked on was blocked off by the police at the end of the concert so we were free to just flip a u-turn and get back on the freeway! Seriously, aren't you glad you read this blog? I'm sure you are very jealous of our V.I.P. status at the Tacoma Dome, however, I don't blame you if you would have rather passed on total starvation only to have it fulfilled by a not so fresh salad bar and Pizza Hut pizza. Oh...funny story (you're probably thinking, this was funny already, could there be more?) On the drive down, beside talk of Subway, I was mentioning that I was watching TV and I saw a commercial that was all in Spanish and Tyler asked if I recognized any words. Seeing as though I don't speak Spanish, I said no. Then he says, "Well it's really easy Danielle, they are just like English words, you just add an "O" to the end." Then George pipes in...wait for it....wait for it..., "Yeah, like burrit-o." No George.
