Hello! Johnny and I celebrated our birthaversary at the beginning of June and purchased summer concert tickets as our gifts to each other. It’s traditional that the fifth wedding anniversary is musical fusion, right? We enjoyed two wonderful evenings at Blossom Music Center seeing The Strokes and Josh Groban and both shows completely exceeded our expectations. The final concert on our lineup was Billy Idol for his “It’s A Nice Day To Tour Again” tour… Or was it? Lol, it definitely wasn’t because we didn’t even end up going SMH!

Johnny and I both get up around three in the morning for work so tell me why we both thought it was a great idea to get tickets for a show falling on a Sunday? Clearly we got wrapped up in the birthaversary excitement and weren’t thinking clearly at all! For years, Johnny and I literally do nothing on Sunday and we call it our “day of lay” and we weren’t looking to make any changes to our routine even if it was for hot AF Billy Idol. We did, however, give it our honest to goodness best shot.

The concert was set to start at seven thirty (SO late!) and we spent our morning and afternoon binging Supernatural. We both got dressed up (Peep that OOTD soon!) and went to get dinner at On Tap before the show. It felt so foreign to be up and moving on a Sunday but we were doing the damn thing and couldn’t wait to get our grub on. We were so hungry!! At dinner we ate our fill – a burger for Johnny and spinach artichoke dip and sweet potato fries for me. And when our plates were clean? We were filled to the brim!

After our plates were cleared, Johnny and I had a decision to make. Option 1) Attend this concert and be wicked tired for work the following day or Option 2) Just go home. We went for Option 2! The promise of getting into our pajamas and laying down was just too strong to fight and we were genuinely relieved when we got back to our apartment. In our defense, I think we made the very mature call to call it a night. Johnny is out of paid time off as we are going on vacation soon and I refuse to take time off until our departure since the downfall of the Little Red Love Machine. It was disappointing, yes, but we felt good about the choice we made. And we both slept fantastically!

I suppose being in your mid to late thirties means you just can’t hang like you used to. Sorry we couldn’t make it to your show, Billy Idol. Maybe next time if it’s on a Saturday!!

Have you had to make last minute changes to plans recently? Would you attend a Sunday night concert if you had to work the next day? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
