Hey, It's Okay

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

 ....to hope Tommy has an amazing time in France. He's taking a solo trip this week and promises to text so I know he is still alive.

.....to be glad Natalie had a wonderful time at the My Chemical Romance concert. She said it was the coolest concert she's ever been to.

.......to love that all the Halloween decor is out in stores. Everything is so fun to look at. 

.....to be glad Natalie is coming home for the weekend. I am making chicken paprikash and we'll probably watch some Dawson's Creek. 

.....to think it's cute that the cats do not want Tommy to go. Plops keeps jumping into the suitcase. 

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

My Chemical Romance In San Antonio

 "Just be careful and don't get robbed. Plus, don't die," I told my daughter before she left for the My Chemical Romance concert in San Antonio.

I wasn't going. I know some My Chemical Romance songs, but not enough to want to sit through a concert. Although, Natalie pointed out that Gerard Way is a theater kid, and always puts on a good show, so I probably would have enjoyed myself had I gone.

Natalie assured me would watch her purse and be sure she was not murdered. 

This was her concert look:

And yes, this is a normal My Chemical Romance concert vibe. Natalie is always eager to dress to a theme. She did not get that from me. I'm content showing up to events in jeans and a t-shirt. I consider leaving my hair down "dressing up."

Natalie has different views:

She promised she'd keep me posted throughout the night so I had proof of life.

The Alamodome, the venue of the concert, can be a chaotic spot. Not to mentioned overpriced. $60 for parking! Highway robbery! 

But.

Natalie's seat was magically upgraded. She had originally purchased a seat way in the back with a limited view. It was all she could afford. 

Her new seat was closer to the stage. No obstructions.

She had arrived right when the doors opened, so she had time to walk around and collect goodies fans were passing out. 

She took pics to pass the time:

The opening act was Mars Volta, and Natalie said they were fabulous. 

And then the main event began.

Natalie said it was the best concert she has ever been to. There were fireworks. Theatrics. 

Judging from her social media posts, she had a memorable night. 

And fabulous news!

She did not get kidnapped or robbed. The Alamodome can be a maze to leave after a large event, but she figured it all out and arrived safely to her dorm at 1230.

I waited up until she texted me she was safe. 

Have you listened to My Chemical Romance? 

Get Beaches & Cream Ice Cream Without A Reservation

Beaches & Cream is a fabulous diner located at the Beach Club resort. We've been there before and loved the food. But we're on a budget, so we couldn't go the last time we went to Disney World. But seriously, if you CAN go, do it, because the vibes are incredible. 

However, if you are also watching your coins and still want the fantastic ice cream they serve, you're in luck! There's a limited To Go menu. 

We were staying at Art Of Animation so we hopped onto the Skyliner and headed over:

The To Go Window is located beside the restaurant and stays open until 11 PM. 

Here's the menu. Now, the minnie kitchen sink is NOT listed, but it is available. Beaches & Cream serves a giant Kitchen Sink, and it serves like SIX. The mini kitchen sink is a perfect size for a party of 3. Possibly 4 if you do not have a boy who inhales his food as we do.

Need booze? They have it here! You can even get spiked ice cream shakes. 

You also can get their specialty shakes, which are huge and generally topped with a brownie or slice of cake. 

 

And here it is our sundae. Yes, you can keep that adorable bowl. You get to pick your ice cream flavors and toppings. We got two ice cream scoops, there were brownies, cookies, whipped cream, hot fudge, and a cherry.

It was gone in like 10 minutes. The ice cream was fantastic. The brownies and cookie fresh. It was the best treat for the hot Orlando summer. 

. 

And now we have an adorable bowl! 

If you can't make it to this area, the sundae is available at other spots as well. 

We would certainly order this again.
