First thing...

MADONNA TICKETS!!!

I don't care what anyone says (cuz she doesn't either), Madonna rocks in every sense of the word. She did more for my vision of female self-empowerment when I was a teenager than anyone else I can think of. It's not the music, dancing or her kick-as body (which is impressive) so much as her bold confidence and resilience to any criticism of her entrepreneurial prowess. If for any reason, I'm going to her concert to connect with her brand of high-powered feminine mojo.

The other thing I did this weekend that put some excitement (albeit life-threatening) was to get on a motorcycle with someone. Has anyone ever said that people who ride motorcycles are fundamentally crazy? Well, if not, then I'm saying that people who ride motorcycles are #@$ crazy. Rebellious, and fun, yes! But totally insane. I'd like to first say that I did not know this person didn't have a driver's license or car insurance. Secondly, this particular experience (while fun and rebellious) gave me all the more reason to trust my instincts. Without going into excruciating details, I'll just offer the suggestion that if you ever see a motorcycle weaving through traffic and you like having a side view mirror...PULL OVER!!

Just for today, I can experience different kinds of excitement.
