Coffee with the Queen Bee and (finally?) realizing I am an adult...

Vicki & Me... in 98* weather!

What a nice way to start off the weekend!  Especially because I am fighting a bad case of bronchitis.  Vicki, (aka "The Queen Bee") and her husband John are in Richmond for a wedding, and I was able to connect with them this morning for a cup of coffee and an hour of chatting!  It is so nice to do it in person rather than via one or two sentence comments on our blogs.  I unfortunately (sorry Vicki!) wasn't able to bring Liam or Lucia - it is just too darn hot here (85 at 7:30 this morning!) but I brought pictures.

Lucia and her counselor

In other non-band related news, we picked Lucia up from her week of camp and she did great - she is tanned and her hair is BLOND!  Amen for natural highlights.  And she seems to be just fine (and more grown up) with just a few scrapes and bug bites as her badges of honor...

I did kind of (?) realize while driving yesterday to pick her up from camp, that I guess I am finally "old" and an adult.  When did that happen???  Even though I am 38 years old, I just don't feel like I am grown up.  Does that make sense?  I mean, I still feel young and sometimes feel like I am playing dress up in my life... (LOL).  What brought it crashing down to earth for me yesterday, was actually realizing that I am just NOT cool riding in a minivan, with the baby in the back and listening to old school hip-hop (think L.L. Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out" and Coolio's "Fantastic Voyage)...  Although I might think I am, alas, I am not...  I am just a dork, driving a minivan, who somehow grew up without realizing it!

For all of you fellow-minivan-driving-dorks out there, if you haven't seen the Swagger Wagon commercials from Toyota, check my favorite one out here!  Someday I can aspire to be so cool!  (Sigh)
