Linkin Park & 30 Seconds to Mars Concert

Hey Sassy Cats,

*Linkin Park & 30 Seconds to Mars*

The first weekend after I go back to school and I am surely appreciating them so much more. I forgot how valuable the weekends were since I had about 3 months off from work. Needless to say I had a great Friday!

We had a countdown going for this concert for about 3 weeks! 

The Line Up

AFI- Meh :/
30 Seconds to Mars- AMAZING

A N D...

L I N K I N  P A R K

AFI:

So in my honest opinion AFI was not that great. Then again, I knew none of their songs. I've heard Miss. Murder but thats about it. I'm sure for some folks they were great, but for me, it wasn't something to write home about.

30 Seconds to Mars:

As you all know, Jared Leto is the lead singer of the band. Can I just say he is drop dead gorgeous?!? It's one thing to see these musicians and actors on TV but in person it's just different.

 BACK TO THE TOPIC...

They put on a very high energy performance. They had their logos on a bunch of large flags and these huge balloons that destroyed my boyfriends face and my head. We just don't pay attention. LOL No their was so much going on we didn't even know where to look & B A M, We got Hit. I couldn't stop laughing!

Direct Quotes:

Tink: "Oh Watch OUT!!!"

Chris turns around stares at the balloon point blank as it comes directly towards his face were it squished his glasses into his nose. Then the balloon goes 90 degrees vertical in the air. Chris then decided to avenge his glasses and "KOBE'S" as in Kobe Bryant, that evil green balloon pictured below down further into the crowd below us where it met it's doom. 

Mean Ole Green Balloon!

In the video above, the intro was a snippet of the great show 30 Seconds put on, equipped with a blast of confetti and all! 

Now.. Linkin Park. I cannot tell a lie. I love the boys to death, B U T some things have to be mentioned. 

1. After 30 Seconds were done we waited for what felt like 5 hours! We sat there for about an hour and a half, with great company, but still. 

2. Throughout the actual concert they stopped between 1-3 songs because of what I'm sure was technical difficulties. We heard them say " I need my other guitar" mid song. The pause kind of deflated the hype and it took a little while to get the mood right again. 

3. Although this is STRICTLY my opinion, most of the songs they played were their newer songs that doesn't even sound like it was in their genre. The crowd was just standing around till the song was over hoping they'd just stick to the KICKASS songs that were on Hybrid Theory & Meteora. 

Even with the hiccups, I love this group. They've managed to stand the test of time. The amphitheater was packed to the BRIM with people.!. I have never enjoyed a concert as much as this one. The energy was high, the songs we knew were on point, and the company was awesome. 

I do admit I was petrified at one point in the show due to the fact that their was about 2-3 different sections of the lawn moshing and i just "didn't want to lose my shoe". ; P 

I have to put this in here because I applaud his bravery (or stupidity). Their was this little tiny guy, shorter than me, drunk as all hell and sweating buckets jumping around with men twice his size. I was so sure that he was going to pass out from severe dehydration or being punched in the face! 

IN CLOSING..

I'd like to give a shout out to Brian, Tink, Tai & this guy who we lovingly named Seth & his group of friends. {{You'll understand why we named him that when you see the picture}}

This is "Seth", look like someone familiar??

It was a great night with some awesome people who will share this memory with me forever and ever <3

* The weekend before reality *

Hey Sassy Cats, 

What a crazy weekend we've had. It was nothing short of perfect. Some of you know that I work at a school and its time to snap back into reality and go back to work! So in true form, I had to make this weekend count. Let's start with Friday!

I invited some of my family from down south up to West Palm. My uncle, his wife, daughter and my grandma all were ready to stay and party it up with me and mine. My uncle, being the sweet man he is, decided that he wanted to surprise my aunt. She had been asking to go dancing for quite some time now and FINALLY it was time to go through with a plan. 

The Plan:

Convince Subject (A) to go to the Improv! -Honestly it wasn't that hard, she's always down for anything- Arrive on Friday and hangout till its time to get ready. Jump in the car and head downtown.  Two weeks of planning and questioning and we're here.!.

Mission Complete! 

Mojito Latin Club & Restaurant @ Cityplace WPB

It was so cute to watch her eyes light up when he finally told her his plan and that we were not going to the Improv after all!

My Beautiful Family <3

We met up with my mom and her friend where we indulged in some yummy food and some drinks. Some people need a little extra liquid courage to be able to keep up with a true salsa loving, bachata dancing girl :) Over all the night went as planned as we danced and partied till our feet could not anymore. Not many pictures were taken but the ones we did were enough to capture a beautiful moment where we were all together and enjoying each other. We don't get to do that quite often since they live far away. 

It was quite a H O O T watching my uncle dance with his wife. In all honesty, I didn't think that he would. My aunt was ready to hit the floor running but he needed some extra pushing. But let me tell you, as soon as he got out there it was the best (and funniest) thing to witness. Hands in the air, hips swinging scandalously side to side in a rather out of rhythm trance and some quite hysterical bopping up and down motion that I've only witnessed once from S.O.S. After I wiped my tears from laughter, the overwhelming feeling of happiness over came me. Just to see them two letting it all go on the dance floor just shows me that their is still true love to be found in this world. At that moment, only they mattered to each other. Between laughter, kisses, hugs and loud music, I can easily say they will remember that night forever. I think we all will. 

Saturday came quickly for us, we didn't get to bed that night till about 4 am so we slept in. We had a pretty relaxing day ahead of us. Chris and I have literally became Grill Masters with all the bbq's we had this summer. We left the family at home sleeping and ran to Publix. We were not prepared to feed so many people so we had to equip for what was to come. On the menu: Chicken Kabobs & Hot dogs. PS- Publix hot dog brand are to die for FYI. We had so many people coming but they all offered to bring something so it relieved the stress of having to think of everything. 

We got back home to find everyone awake and ready to help. Can I just say I L O V E hosting parties? The prior craziness and preparation gives me a HIGH that no drug can give. Anyone else feel like that? Anywho, I began cutting the veggies and assembling the Bobs while the men got the bbq ready.  
Little by little people started arriving at my pool, just in time for lunch.The chef, my boyfriend, was such a great sport. He cooked everything to perfection in a skillful manner. You would have thought he graduated from The Grilling Masters of America!! The food was great and the guest came hungry. <PERFECT COMBINATION> 

Now that our bellies were fully, it was time for some splashing around in the pool! My mom had brought over her underwater camera and it seems to have brought the underwater mermaid/merman out in everyone. 

 

Can their be a more perfect family photo??

Underwater Kissies <3

I couldn't help but think of Ariel & Prince Eric. Being a self-proclaimed Disney Fan and all!  

The festivities continued with some tag and a few games of chicken but I was beat. So I spent the rest of the evening soaking in as much family, babies and sun as I could. Oh and I can't forget this killer Chocolate Dulce de Leche that one of the guests brought. I think I soaked a little to much of that up. Haha. Guilty Pleasures.

& the G R A N D FINALE... 

.Successful Summer.

Time to go turn on my alarm and get ready for the dreaded 'W' word..

Pin-Tastic DIY's-Update.

Hey Sassy Cats! 

Ever since I can remember i've always been a creative person. I love being able to create something out of nothing. Probably why I started this blog. It's a creative challenge that I will take on gladly. 

Each week I will have a ::web series:: where I will recreate a fun Pinterest Inspired DIY.  These DIY's might take on a theme depending on the time of year or it just might be something that is completely random. Regardless it will be done in true SassyClassy form.. completely fabulous and with complete directions!

I was entertaining the idea of recording my DIY's instead of just adding pictures to the blog just because I'm a visual learner and given the times, everything can be found on YouTube. I just ordered a tripod for my lovely Nikon so I can work and record without anyone being home to help.  I don't know exactly when I'm going to start, but...

All in All :

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS! & I CANNOT WAIT TO START <3

Till next time,

Our Little Family

Hey Sassy Cats!

This will most likely be my F A V O R I T E post only because it involves 4 things.

1.Honey Nut Cheerios
2.Cinnamon
3. Sunny Skies
4.My Love; Chris

!!STOP!! *Watch the Cuteness Overload*

I mentioned my fur babies on my Previous Post and I received some emails. Some of you Sassers wanted to know a little more about them. I've compressed some of the questions together that were sent to me and will answer them based on my experiences. 

Ask away:

1. The all time favorite question people like to ask is Do they stink?

As much as I want to say No, it all is based on how sensitive your nose is. When we got Honey Nut, we were expecting to Febreeze the home at least every 30 mins based on what everyone online was saying. In all actuality it was not all that bad. We learned very quickly that we C A N N O T bathe him as often as we were 1) he hated it and 2) every time we washed him he'd be wiped clean of his oils which his body would reproduce more of. It got to the point where we had to not wash him for a couple of months because my baby was turning ORANGE. Simply put, keep the liter and cage clean. Change out the sleeping blankets (PS- they are sensitive to smells so be careful what you wash them in) and all will be well!

2.What do they eat?

Like any animals, they have their own food pellets that is sold. I like to give my ferrets the Marshall Brand food which is Petrified Chicken Pellets.  Now Cinny and Honey have imprinted on that food so they will not eat any other brand. My tip to you, if it matters, is to introduce your ferret to more than one food brand. It keeps them well-rounded :) 

Also, its not in me to do this B U T I have seen people feed their ferrets raw chicken, baby chickens and rabbit meat. Which seems fitting since they are carnivores and will hunt their dinner out in the wild. I just personally cannot find it in me to see my babies eat a baby chick. If you can, more power to you.!. 

3. How do we know a ferret is for us?

So when it came time to actually sit down and think about what the family pet will be, Chris and I were leaning towards a cat. We were looking for an animal that would fit our lifestyle. 

The Bill:

a. a quiet apartment animal
b.very minimal care needs
c.could possibly entertain themselves while we were at work
d.was not as active as a dog would be

It wasn't until we were really ready to welcome our new pet that I thought of the ferret that i had when i was younger. He totally fit the The Bill! 

I like to plan, so with that comes an endless about researching. I read blogs, watched YouTube videos, chatted with some of my friends who owned one and stalked the pet stores. 

Back to the question, we knew that a ferret was just right for us because he was everything we were looking for. For heaven's sake they sleep from 10-14 hours a day!! THAT'S WONDERFUL! Mind you they are nocturnal so for a while, we'd hear bumps and things moving around at 2 am. Actually ,it's 2 am right now and he's wide awake! So just be prepared for that. 

4) Can you name some of their habits?

Now after all that beauty sleep these babies are ready to PLAY! They have little spurts of energy through out the day. Be ready to get down on the floor and hiss at them, run around like a crazy mad person because they like to chase you and WATCH YOUR TOES! They don't call them Carpet Sharks for no reason! Speaking of >>Click here to see their Instagram<< You'll get why I inserted that there when you check it out. =P 

Always have food and clean water for them to enjoy at their leisure. They eat on their own time so no need to worry about feeding them throughout the day. BINGO!

They need toys that are "parent approved" so they don't go around your house trying to dig a whole into the bottom of your couch!! In the video above you saw a tunnel, they LOVE that tunnel. Lots of ferret toys and other things can be found here. They are diggers and burrowers in the wild so anything that can emulate that is great. We love to give them a big tub of plastic balls or ping pong balls, a tub of rice or soil (at your discretion) to dig, even boxes so they can hide in. 

Overall they are fun, loving animals that are pretty much self sufficient. Do not get this confused, they still need you in all shapes and forms. Once they are attached to you, you are their very best friend. These creatures will love you till the very end and it's your job to make sure that they are safe, healthy and very well cared for. In other words, just because it seems as though they can take care of themselves, surely they cannot. 

Phew! That was a lot. I just love ferrets and can talk about them forever. Mind you I'm no expert but experience with these lovely animals can be earned. It just takes time and patience. Any who, If you still have any questions please don't hesitate to comment below and ask! We love our Ferret Family & hopefully y'all will have one of your own too!
