AFI/Greenday Show - Phoenix, AZ


AZ Republic Review of the Show (Has some good pictures)


My review:  Best show ever.  I could just leave it at that, but here's some fun numerical stats:

2 - Number of times Billie Joe mooned his bum at the crowd


6 - Age of the cute little boy who was brought on stage during the show
3 - Number of hours Greenday performed for (freaking amazingness)
2 - Number of rolls of T.P. shot at the crowd from a guitar T.P. shooter device thingy


1 - Number of crazy, beer drinking pink bunnies that were on stage.  Disturbing and HILARIOUS
1994 - The year Greenday released Dookie (with the poop flinging monkey's on the cover that I thought was just hilarious - I was in 9th grade - have liked them ever since)


Greenday totally surpassed my expectations -- they put on such a rockin' show.  Even the folks on the lawn were rockin'!  What an amazing band!  Hubby and I had the most fun we have had in years!!  I felt youthful again rather than like a 31 year old mommy of 4 kiddies.  It was fantastic!   AFI was great too!  They played Miss Murder almost as well as I can rock it on Guitar Hero III!  

Me and my cute hubby (a little shiny and sweaty) at the show!


Mic rocking out and dripping with sweat!  Good times!!

Thanks Britt! I just got my hair cut yesterday (I donated to locks of love . . . another post coming soon) - it is a bit shorter than I would like, but it will grow! I love the layers though, it got rid of lots of the thickness of it all.

We have not been to a concert for a long time, but we decided on a whim to go and I am so glad we did, it was a fantastic date!

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...

(SSD014) - Ear Infections and Pneumonia

I apologize for my late posting today . . . the countdown to being 40 weeks preggo continues.  This week has been crazy out of control already, and it's only Tuesday!  YIKES!   Friday night Baby E was running a fever and really congested.  We gave him tylenol/motrin, but he would not take in fluids, and I was worried about him, so I slept on he floor beside his bed (stupid thing to do at 39 weeks pregnant).  Anyway, I cried a bit, and when I woke up in the morning, I had the most intense pain in my right ear ever!  Seriously OW!   Saturday, Mic took the baby to the pediatrician, where he was diagnosed with double ear infections, and pneumonia -- he had a breathing treatment there, and an antibiotic shot . . . and his lungs were sounding much more clear when he left.  Late Saturday night his fever broke, much to our relief.   Sunday was an okay day, mostly we just all rested -- an interesting thought occurred to me while I was on th...
