Grammy Recap

I've never been a TSwift fan and Nikki Minaj's performance at the Grammy's was disturbing.

I am not a country music fan at all. I'm sorry. I just don't like Miranda at all. She always looks pained or something.

Love the Foos and this photo of them holding hands like a bunch of teenage girls just cracked me up. They totally rocked it last night!

KJ yelled, "OMG! You can see her UNDERWEAR!!!"

I normally love Carrie Underwood but this seems a little "old" for her. She has incredible legs and should be showing them off!

This is one bad-ass Gramma. I hope to be this cool when I'm her age.

Absolutely gorgeous. Her hair, her make-up. That voice! I love her CD and listen to it at least twice a day at work!

Obviously the big news this weekend is the sad passing of Whitney Houston. We were at KJ's volleyball tournament when one of the mom's said, "Oh My God! My T-Mobile News is saying Whitney Houston is dead." Another mom said, "It's probably just a hoax. Didn't they say Bon Jovi had died recently, too?" I checked my twitter feed as the night went on (yeah, I know. Not the most reliable news source) and sadly the rumors were true. One of those weird, surreal, generational moments. Like when Elvis passed away or John Lennon was shot. Or when you heard that Michael Jackson was gone. She had a beautiful amazing voice and I remember being a young girl and seeing Whitney Houston in the pages of Seventeen Magazine.

I liked the fact that the Grammy's acknowledged Whitney's passing but didn't turn it into the Whitney show. LLCool J had some kind words during the opening segment and Jennifer Hudson's tribute was beautiful. I liked the memorials thoughout the show -- Alicia Keys & Bonnie Raitt honoring Etta James, the Beach Boys tribute and who didn't love Glen Campbell singing Rhinestone Cowboy??!! He sounded AMAZING!!! Bruce Springsteen sounded and looked great, too!

I love these little girls!!!

This dress is beautiful but she needs a little more support in the boob area. Oh, and ditch the blue hair. She looks like a Smurfette!

Such a Dummy !!!

OMG! I totally and completely forgot to blog about THE most important event of the entire year -- The Grand Opening of Stickhead Alabama!!!

Saturday was the Grand Opening of the new store and everything was AMAZING! The store looks incredible! Twice the size of the old store, new logo, new bright colors, new merchandise, new displays. A great crowd came out to support the store and we grilled hot dogs & hamburgers in the parking lot and had lots of giveaways -- t-shirts, bands, stickers, posters, can coozies. The best part of the whole day was watching the little lax rats walk in the door and their mouths just totally drop open. I heard "WHOA!!" alot and I loved it! Very proud of Coach/Champ/Cosmo. He had a vision and carried through. This is everything he wanted to do when we first opened FaceOff four years ago but just couldn't because of size, budget and quite honestly, we had no idea what the hell we were doing!

The new store got me thinking: who are some famous folks who also played lacrosse? Here's a short list but please feel free to add:
-Foo-Fighters singer and former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl
-former WWE wrestler Mick Foley was goalie for his High School lacrosse team.
-Bill Belichick (both high school and college)
-Bob Woodruff, ABC news anchor injured in Iraq; still holds record for most points at Colgate
-John Kerry, United States Senator from Massachusetts
-Wayne Gretzkey (who was supposedly better at lacrosse than hockey)
-Actor and Activist Michael J. Fox
-Geraldo Rivera played goalie at Arizona.
-Former First Lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis
-John Tesh played at NC State when they were a varsity program
