Notes about the Sugarland concert:

Note to my friend Ronna: You had the foresight to get us seats on the floor. You are my favorite person in the world right now.

Note to my parents: Thank you for watching the girls overnight so I could go to the concert!

Note to the waitress at dinner at Power and Light: Thank you for wearing such short shorts, then rolling the top down so we could see your underwear. I could have gone the rest of my life without knowing what your underwear looked like.

Note to the very drunk man who took our group picture: Thank you for taking a great picture, even though your eye was drooping shut and you could barely walk. The picture is in focus and we're all smiling. Hopefully you made it home okay at the end of the night.

Note to Matt Nathanson, who opened the show: Your ice cream song gave us goosebumps. And it wasn't because we were cold. Thanks for the line, Ronna!

Note to the woman in front of us: I'm glad you brought your six-year-daughter to the concert as a bonding experience. However, your incessant texting on your Blackberry probably ruined your daughter's time. And since she slept through the entire Sugarland performance, you could have saved your money and taken her to something she would enjoy.

Note to the security man: You came and took three different groups of people in the row in front of us to closer seats. What about us? We would have appreciated feeling some love too.

Note to the Sprint Center: Thank you for being a clean, inviting place. And thank you for allowing someone whose seats were on the floor to go upstairs to the "bathroom" , then come back down right next to the stage. Thank you for allowing that person to linger there for a few minutes, so close they could have jumped on stage, then gently prodding them to return to their own seats.

Note to women over the age of 35: Even if you are in shape, there are certain things you should not wear. It's okay to look nice, to try and dress to make yourself look and feel good, but you are not 20 anymore. Stop trying to act like it.

Note to Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland: Your voice is faboulous, and you have a wonderful personality on stage. Thank you for a great time!
