this is me this morning, looking respectable.
so not the case last night.
yesterday larry surprised me with tickets to see jack's second show in los angeles.
i loved the first night but the second night can only be described as Amazing. he performed with his all-female band the peacocks, and it's a wonder the old wiltern is still standing as he rocked the place and everyone in it to its core.
so when i should have been sweetly tucked in bed, i was acting like a teenager, singing and dancing in the aisles.
2 late nights in a row.
shut up.
later today we are headed to the beach for some r&r and i've packed a bikini.
what's happening to me?
have a sweet one my friends.

I know you are going to rock the bikini!Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome of Larry, you got to see Jack TWICE. I can't believe it you must have been out of your mind with excitement!
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the beach. Of course you will be gorgeous in your bikini!
I love your blog, I love your house, love your clothes...I'm even interested in the vegan recipes (somewhat) and now know what the heck spelt is. But for the life of me, I don't get the Jack White thing. Hope I'm still welcome to visit here ~smile~ Have a wonderful time at the beach!
ReplyDeletehttp://oldmarriedlady.com
of course you are still welcome here! don't worry none of my friends "get" jack either. i think you either get him or you don't. i promise not to hold it against you!
DeleteSo funny..I saw the one below about Kid Rock (who I secretly think is kinda sexy) and laughed out loud. Good company here!
DeleteYay for two late nights, acting as a teenager and sporting bikinis, why not? you certainly look great in the morning, so the late nights are agreeing with you. Love the outfit, have a great weekend Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMid life crisis? You look like an American today.
ReplyDeletexo
yes deb, i'm sure it is midlife crises time here. if this is what it entails then i'm quite happy about it!
DeleteJanet - You are my heroine.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Brilliant, twins across the water! Oh I am loving this going to gigs and hitting the beach week you're having, oh and my jack White is Kid Rock, I am about to blast it loud!
ReplyDeletetwins across the water indeed! i had to laugh when i saw your post this morning. i have a good friend that adores kid rock. we kid ea other all the time about our "boyfriends." turn it up gurl.
DeleteI wanna see you in a bikini, lol!
ReplyDeleteyou would be laughing out loud sue.
DeleteJanet,
ReplyDeleteYou know you inspire me in many ways...to live more simply, eat healthier...I'm working on that one...but at least I no longer drink alcohol. But I must admit something...i did not even know who Jack White was/is until I started reading your blog. I'm feeling old, out of touch....but you will look fabulous in your bikini and it looks like a perfect beach day! Enjoy my friend!

This 'Peacock' wishes she had been dancing in the aisles with you. Love your cottage setting . . .
ReplyDeleteteenagers don't have a monopoly on fun! enjoy your day!!!
ReplyDeleteJanet you go girl:)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are having the time of your life.
The gardens looking fab.

So jealous :) Have fun at the beach!!
ReplyDeleteJanet--it's called "middle age crazy" and I went thru it a few years ago. Enjoy it all. All the stages of life. They all pass so quickly!
ReplyDeleteYou gotta let loose and have fun once in awhile...
ReplyDeleteHooray for Larry and the two night gig with Jack.
Mr. HB did that for me a few years ago but it was Springsteen and night one was in Seattle and the other Vancouver!
Enjoy that bikini beach party!
You go girl!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! How lucky are you to feel so great? You should be dancing...everyone should dance more.
ReplyDeleteGo show us how it's done . . . and tell us all about it afterwards! Enjoy! You deserve every bit of fun and good cheer that comes our way.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have recovered from your allergies!
ReplyDeleteSome of my friends went to that concert. Sounds like a good time!

Hmmmm. Why is going to a rock concert at age 50 strange to people? Why do you have to stop or at least make excuses for doing certain things when you are a certain age? Once you stop denying yourself things that you love in life...life is over. Love your blog & loooove that your into Jack White! Rock on, Lady! Keep doing what you love and you'll be around for a very long time.
ReplyDeleteWhatever is "happening" to you, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI know you are going to rock that bikini out - just like you rocked the concert. You should be dancing - don't ever let anyone make you feel otherwise. In other news, I am loving your chambray/leopard outfit. It's hot and gorgeous and classy! x
ReplyDeleteI'm not quite sure I get the Jack thing either but your joie de vivre does impress me. Is it me or is Jack looking more and more like Robert Smith?
ReplyDeleteYou're ageing disgracefully and that's why I love you! Two Jack White gigs in as many nights and a weekend in a bikini, fancy swapping lives? You rock denim & you rock life, Janet! x
ReplyDeleteWhen you're onto a Good Thing, stick to it.
ReplyDeleteI always think Get Behind Me Satan is an excellent name. For anything really.
Wishing you and Your Seven Nation Army all the best and luff the belt.

And another thing, good on you for packing a bikini. I wear one and don't care what the world thinks.
ReplyDeleteFor the 9 millionth time I wish you lived here and am touched that you thought of me when Jack started thinking about the Doorbell and when he was going to ring it etc etc .
"I'll have what she's having!".....stop thinking and just "do" and while you're at it, show 'em how it's done!
ReplyDeletecute outfit, but I think you should show us what you wore to see your boyfriend both nights!! do you think when Jack saw you there on night two he had his security people officially put you on his stalker list;);) You rock girl!!!
ReplyDeletehappy weekend!

i love still being a rocker in my early 50s and you obviously do too! my bf since 1980 is bono, and i have seen u2 many times way before they were such a big thing which was amazing. i was fortunate enough to be in the heart ellipse the last two times they came to the bay area and i am telling you, being 10 ft. away from bono, i was screaming like he was a beatle! you've got to get yer ya ya's out no matter how old you are, and music always does it for me. have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteIf Helen Mirren can rock a bikini (did you see those pics), you certainly can, too. Have a fabulous day!
ReplyDeleteI completely understand the Jack White thing - when I saw him with Loretta Lynn on a music video years ago I was completely hooked! My first time commenting but I look forward to every post. Thanks for your inspiration for 50+ women everywhere.
ReplyDeleteWoo! Hoo! Is there anything more fun than going to a super loud concert of someone you love, everything that you can sing to, dance to, have the time of your life and maybe a little romance to???
ReplyDeleteI can dig it! LOL!
xoxo, Chris
You're proving that we can get better with age, of course! Go you.
ReplyDeleteLarry is the best. Remember going to see Prince back in the 90"s...omg I loved that concert. I think you were pregnant with Alex. I love and miss you. xoxoxoxox me, margot ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Janet~
ReplyDeleteI can tell by the look on your face that you had a wonderful time! Your body language says it all! Again, you are fortunate to live in an area that has concert venues. Midlife crisis my ass people!! I am 50 years old and I love Rock and Roll music!! I can thank my dad for that. While growing up he played Led Zeppelin, The Grateful Dead, Allman Bros. as loud as he could every sunday morning while making us kids pancakes. It is such a great memory! I'm sure it drove my mom nuts but we loved it! And as far as the bikini~shit woman if I could fit into one I would wear it while shopping at my local Safeway store!! Buy the way ladies, if its too loud ,your too old!!! Rock on~ April
Hi Janet! WOW two nights in a row....I'm pooped! FYI I can't listen to Jack White, He gives me a "panic attack"
ReplyDeleteBut....you are my rocker fashionista over fifty so I'm going to just go with that and tell you that I am really impressed!
PS I like new age. blue grass and blues....zzzzzzzzzzzz
xo kelley
at least you know who he is! and larry thinks he sounds like his private parts are in a vice. hahaha!
Deletealso kelley most of jack's music is influenced by the blues. :)
DeleteNo pics of you rockin' out?
ReplyDeleteSketchy internet connection, sketchy bikini, sketchy weekend! Why are people surprised when over 50's are going to concerts?
ReplyDeleteHalf the musicians are even older and they're still rocking!
xo jane
What did you wear while you rocked out?
ReplyDeleteI love you for being guilty of rocking out and admitting to don a bikini.
pve
You look so relaxed and stylish, Good on you for doing the two nights up late - whoohoo!
ReplyDeleteHi Janet. I couldn't sleep last night because I drank a pepsi during the day (to revive me while I was staining the deck) and ended up in my study looking on the computer at blogs. I came upon yours and you inspired me. I checked out project 333. This morning I got up and went thru my closet and drawers and donated piles of clothes and organized everything. I usually do this once a year, but I have to admit, I have not always had the courage to just reduce this much. I am NO WHERE NEAR 33 items. However, I probably cut my wardrobe in half and will continue to work on it. The thing I liked the most was knowing that there were some items I have been wanting to get.(2 short sleeved shirts to go over sleeveless tops). So after donating my clothes to the thrift store, I went in and looked for what I needed. I ended up with 2 cute short sleeve shirts and they both only cost me $9.17. They were both decent name brands. (I rarely shop thrift, but will try it again.) So thank you for the 2:30-5:00am inspiration. Jess
ReplyDeletehahha! you're welcome.
DeleteDo you dress like that all day long? Or is it what you wear when you go out and about? What do you wear when you're just at home for the day cleaning and such?
ReplyDeletei did wear this all day at home and running errands. i kicked off the heels once inside the house. some days i'll wear this skirt with flats. the skirt is 1/2 elastic waist so it's super comfy. if i were going to dedicate a whole day to cleaning and gardening i'd wear shorts and a tshirt. but if i'm going out and about then i always put some effort forth. thnaks for asking.
DeleteYou are fabulous.
