Ever have an experience with someone that has you shaking your head for days later?  I had one of those a couple of weeks ago at a Taylor Swift concert.  Dear Hubby and I had surprised our girls with tickets to this concert, and our seats were nothing short of awesome.  17 rows from the front.  Woot!  No worries that… View Post
