We were prepared for a snowstorm. A full fridge. A full pantry. Full gas tanks. And a full gas can for the generator. A bunch of movies. Baking supplies. And a Christmas tree ready to be decorated.
We got a foot of snow or so, which was less than predicted. We also got some freezing rain, just to keep things interesting. Sunday was a day to stay inside - very cold, windy, bad roads. My husband went out in his large pickup truck, which is equipped with four-wheel drive and good tires, and he still slid around.
So why, WHY did people head out despite the weather for a teeny-bopper concert? Of course these are the same kids who pray for a snow day when there are 3 inches of fluff in the forecast.
KIDS.
When did I become such an old fart?
Elle is dying to see Hannah Montana. Not sure we can afford the scalper prices though. Much less brave a blizzard to make it. Of course, if I had paid those ticket prices, I might have.

LOL
I had the same thought, and then I read our local paper, which told the story of a mom from DC who bought tickets for the concert from an online broker. The cost of the tickets for her and her daughter? $1,800. Oh, and her daughter was 5 years old.

I'm having flashbacks to 10th grade when I was DEVASTATED because a snowstorm prevented me from seeing Duran Duran. :(

I just read that article too, Kristi. (Yes, I opened the Sunday paper on Tuesday) Can you even imagine?
