Cathie's 30th birthday. What a blast!!
Nikki and I went to Washington to spend Labor Day weekend with Cathie for her birthday. We arrived very late Friday night and talked for hours before finally falling asleep. Cathie got me up at 6 the next morning to go reserve our spot for her barbeque (scheduled for 2p.m.!) It was beautiful that time of morning by Puget Sound though and we sat in the peace and quiet and listened to the fishermen out on their boats. We called Tara and had a nice chat with her. We then went back and picked up Nikki and ran errands until just before noon and then went back to our picnic spot. Cathie's friends started arriving shortly after noon and she had a very nice barbeque. We packed up and went back to her apt. at about 5ish and got ready to head to Seattle. We went to Julia's at about 8:30, had dinner and the show started at 10. I have always been curious about female impersonator shows. We had a blast!!This was just so much fun. Of course they called all the special occasion people up to the stage and embarrassed each of them! The show was a couple hours long. I truly had not known what to expect and we really had fun. Sunday we got up and went to breakfast then went and got new tattoos, 3 stars for my 3 girls behind my right ear. We then went to a movie and later went and played Bingo at a Bingo Hall until late. We finally got to bed that night and got up early to come home Monday. I do not get to just hang with my girls and we had a very nice weekend. It was fun spending time with them and it was nice riding with and talking with Nikki on the way to and from.
I am a cool mom and I have the best daughters!!

Melissa Etheridge

What a great night Cathie and I had at the Melissa Etheridge concert at the Cuthbert in August. I could not be happier that we got her tickets and I went with her. She had won meet and greet passes and as it turned out we were the only ones to get to meet ME. She was awesome and it was quite something to see Cathie speechless and totally starstruck. Melissa signed her electric violin and a poster for Cathie and talked with her a bit about the violin, her children and music.
The concert was a blast, I was not really familiar with her music but it is very relaxing and empowering. I believe she is truly the type of person she appears to be. It seems funny to me that she was on Crossroads with Dolly Parton because I see them as very much the same. Real.
Anyway, we had a great time. I don't get to hang out with Cathie often enough and I really enjoyed her.
