I had a great weekend. It was my birthday! So my gift to myself was a pair of Jill Scott and Anthony Hamilton concert tickets. Everyone knows I love Jill Scott. I am more than a fan, I'm a fanatic. If I didn't have a family and stuff to do I'd be a stalker. So of course I nearly lost my mind when she sang all my favorite songs and I nearly fainted when Jill Scott shook my hand! Yes, my hand! So my right hand is now officially known as the Jill Scott hand. I am no longer right handed, I'm Jill Scott handed. My daughter bought me Jill Scott's latest cd, The Light of the Sun, and I've been playing it like crazy.
So that was my weekend. Also, I checked my mailbox and inside was a magazine called Radar Magazine. I leisurely flipped through it as I read page after page and lo and behold my photo was in the magazine under the women in business headline. Talk about surprised and elated. :-)I also received a book for review by Wayne Zurl called A New Prospect.
Well that was my weekend. It was relaxing and enjoyable. No blogging, no kids, no writing, no nothing and I liked it! But today is Monday, so back to my regularly scheduled program. :-) It was good while it lasted.
What kind of great things did you do this weekend? Did you get any awesome books?

Oh,what a great weekend!! Happy birthday, Lena - it sounds like it really was a very happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteI like your Jill Scott hand! I had to chuckle over that. The music sounds nice and easy listening - I hadn't heard of Jill Scott before.
Hope you have a great week!
What a fabulous birthday. I thought you were going to say your hand was now encased in acrylic. How funny you are. And how awesome was it to see your face in a magazine? Your name in print is one thing, but to see your face...congrats.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what could happen this week to top the weekend, but I hope it's great.
Happy Belated Birthday Lena. Glad that you had a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love Jilly from Philly too! I haven't had a chance to pick up her latest yet though. But I've loved all of her other ones. I still play the first cd out. And I'm jealous you got to see her live! She's such a talented artist, and so genuine. Sounds like you had a relaxing and wonderful birthday. Congrats on the mention in the magazine. How cool is that?
ReplyDeleteEverything the best Lena my dear! I haven't done anything special - read, wrote, read, wrote, had a walk...;)
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MY DEAR!!!

Odd that your wristwatch still should lie
on the shiny dressing-table
its tick so faint I cannot hear
the universe at its centre.
Happy Birthday!! What a fabulous weekend you had!! I love that you are now Jill Scott handed! Never wash it!!! And you were in a magazine?! SO COOL! Wow! What an incredible day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday, Lena! Lol @ your Jill Scott hand, but I'm so glad you had such a great time. Your birthday was surely something you will remember for a long time.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making it into Radar magazine! It sounds like a major achievement, and I'm sure that you will see many more greater ones in the future.
Hope you have a great week ahead:)

Happy Happy Birthday!! I LOVES me some Jill Scott. I'm so jealous you got to see her live.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for the birthday wishes. I truly enjoyed myself at the concert. She can sang and Anthony gave an excellent performance. I was so drained afterwards, in a good way.
ReplyDeleteIt was surprising to see my face and name in the magazine, especially since I had no clue I was going to be in it at all. Then to be in it under the title Women in Business was icing on the cake. That was remarkable.
Thanks again everyone for all your support and well wishes,
Blessings!
I hope you had a great time on your birthday!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great birthday. Wonderful. Wishing you much happiness.
ReplyDeleteWow, Lena! I'm glad you had such a WONDERFUL, memorable birthday!!
ReplyDeleteJill Scott handed is hilarious!! You had me rolling on my floor here! Happy belated Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday, Lena! Hope you had a wonderful day! I love Jill Scott too. She was so great in Why Did I Get Married and the sequel.
ReplyDeleteMy birthday is tomorrow so it looks like we have a birthday month and an astrological sign in common. Go Libra! =O)
