  • My reward day is coming up soon!!!

    I've probably already told you this, so if you've heard it before, forgive me.

    I'm a long-time fan of the Stones. I haven't seen them in concert for over 30 years. (money, raising kids, out of country, and for a long while I'd lost my spark). NOW< I am back and going to a concert on the 22nd of NOVEMBER. WHOOOPPPPEEEE.

    I told my husband over a year ago that I was going to see the Stones as a reward if I lost 100 pounds. I know he thought he'd never have to go...cause he don't like them and the tickets are expensive. Well, they are finally coming to my town and I have ROW 3A and 3B!!! WOW, I am practically on stage with them. lolol

    I know some of you probably don't like them...but their music has impacted my life tremendously over the years. There are some songs that take me back years and years. I am taken back to events that were occuring when they those songs first hit the charts. I heard a song on GLOBE (sirrus radio) that was eons old and it took me back to a time in my teens that I had lay on my bed and cried all evening because of a boy. Hearing that song again brought back all those memories. Strange...how songs can do that.

    Also, when I play some of my CD's or cassettes...I remember happy events and what I was doing when I first heard the songs. I remember an old 8-track of theirs that I played until it slowed down and you couldn't even hear the words or music anymore. I didn't throw it away until I could find the same track on a cassette.

    Anyways, its my reward and just know that on NOVEMBER 22nd, there will be a very happy Atkineer running around SLC and screaming like a teeny bop again.

    "Its only rock n roll, but I love it, yes I do!!" You don't know how many exercises I've done to their music. So, in a way...they have contributed to my weight loss.

            Is there a local radio station sponsoring them at your concert? If so you should call them up and tell them that your reward for losing 100 lbs was to go to a Stones concert. They might be able to get you back stage Meet and Greet passes. I have a friend in Dallas who's daughter called the local station and told them how her mom had worked so hard to lose weight and how she was a huge STYX fan. The ended up having her report in for a month before the show with her weight loss and the day of the concert, she got to go back stage and meet the boys and get pictures.

            Who knows, it's worth a shot and you deserve it!

              Actually, I did call the radio station before I bought my tickets and was trying to get free-tickets. I got all the trivia questions right but, I wasn't the 11th caller, I was the 9th. So, no free tickets for me. But, I'll try again. I haven't talked to them for over 30 years, I would love to get to say hi again. When I was 19, I went to a concert in Buffalo NY and got to meet them. They were wild back then we were all a bit more relaxed than we are today. Thanks for the idea Jeanne.

                            Thanks everybody. I can't believe it myself. This was the only reward I've set for myself with my weight-loss. Deep down I knew they'd tour again and I'd see them.

                            They said they'd never play SLC again, and here they come. And everyone told me they'd never go on tour again, and they are. Goes to show...think positive thoughts and never say never.
