Ozzy Osborne is a perfect example THAT BOOMERS STILL ROCK !!!!!!!!!!! Ozzy is turning 62 this December and he can still sell out a concert! There was a mix of age groups (26,000 was the head count) in the audience but the median age was 30. I had such a fun time AND I got paid!


Towards the end of the convention, right after Ozzy's performance a gamer around the age of mid to late 20s started hanging around me. The first time he went through the line he did shop at the store, but when he came back he complemented me that I looked 15 years younger than I am (glad I got my hair done the other day) then he just kinda hung around and made small talk in between me directing customers to cashiers. Now I am not positive because it has been a few years but I think he was "chatting me up". Isn't that adorable???? hahahaha!

Today I will put my feet up and just relax... something I have trouble doing... I like to putz around but I figure this is the only full day I have to rest my foot, which is still swollen. I googled sprained ankles and it seems that this is normal, so I have to be patient... something else I need more practise with.

Hope your weekend is going well or as Ozzy likes to say "Fucking great!". Here's a little Ozzy for those fans out there.
Don't forget to laugh out loud!

I worked Blizzcon yesterday and by the end of my shift my feet were screaming at me. Today I will bring a second pair of shoes to change into, may be that will help. No Ozzy siting last night. I heard he will perform tonight at 9 pm. It will be more crowded than yesterday, which I find hard to believe! There were people milling about everywhere yesterday. I figured out what Blizzcon's theme is.... mix some Star Wars with some Elvira, add a dash of Hooter girls, a pinch of MC Hammer, throw in some vampires, and don't forget the Hobbits, top off with heavy metal hip hop and you have Blizzcon!

The hall where the event is had barely any lighting, I'm not sure if they were trying to set an ambiance or they just did not want to pay a huge electric bill... all I know is I could not see a thing especially in the back behind the curtains where the employees had to put their belongings and take breaks. At one point I mentioned out loud that I could not see a thing! and some considerate young man (don't I sound like a grandma?) took my hand and guided me to where we were going to work. I really do appreciate his help and I really did need it... I do not need to be falling down again! but I felt really old!

In case you want to see some of the events from yesterday...

Busy day for me tomorrow... at 10 am I have appointment to cover this grey and then I have to be at the convention center for Blizzcon... I just found out Ozzy Osborne will there to perform. Maybe tomorrow will be his lucky day and he will get a chance to meet me and if he is really lucky I might pose for a picture with him! I have been driving around Laguna Niguel alot today... looking for work and shopping with the rich people at Trader Joes. I still can't figure out how these people get all that money! I did not have time to take any pictures of my own so I pinched a few off the internet and I have a link to the real estate page in case anyone is interested in buying a little shack of their own http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.luxuryportfolio.com/photos/property/full/S496538_SoCalMLS_p1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.luxuryportfolio.com/browse~mnc/california/orange_county/laguna_niguel.cfm&usg=__TR8iM0TR9RY5JMqdt68W6oS2Hzw=&h=400&w=600&sz=42&hl=en&start=377&sig2=Ezdm3gnzv8i7bt1CRJn8xw&tbnid=-9DryeF3QTSxWM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=135&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dlaguna%2Bniguel%2Bcalifornia%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D20%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26start%3D360&ei=7j2OSoTII5LENrWY4bAK
