A "funny" thing happened on the way to the AT&T Center....

Actually, several "funny" (more like strange) things happened on the way to the AT&T Center to see Holley perform with the Fabra dance team during the Spurs game half-time show. Things did not start off well this afternoon. After I jumped in and out of the shower, it was 5:00. Holley had to be at the school to leave on the bus by 5:15. I threw my clothes on and ran out of the house with wet hair and no make-up!! The horror!! So when I stopped at the stop sign along the access road, I was rear ended by a high-school kid. Knowing Holley would likely miss the bus if I didn't get her to the school, I threw her in the first car I saw. Just kidding....kinda. Actually a couple of cars behind me I saw a mom driving her daughter who was wearing the Fabra dance team uniform. I flagged her down and asked if Holley could go with her. The moment Holley opened the car door I heard the other mom say "Oh, that's Holley....no problem come on in Holley!!!" It wasn't until she started driving away that I realized I'd been so worried about Holley missing the game that I had NO IDEA who I had just entrusted my daughter to....not overly smart!!! Oh well. What can I say?? OOPS!!! It is in times just like these that I am glad Boerne is such a small town. We don't have much of a crime problem here, at least not major crime anyway. So after I wrapped up the accident stuff ( my car was relatively unscathed ) I ran home to get dressed and do hair, make-up etc. My sister went to the game with me (Thanks Perry!) and she drove us because I had never been to the AT&T center and tend to FREAK out driving downtown to places I've never been. We ended up in a major traffic jam. We were not sure we would even make it to the game for the half-time performance. While we were sitting in the parking lot on I-10, we saw smoke and about 20 min later (20 feet down the road) we saw this....

Yup, a grass fire. Too weird. It got a little smokey....Then we finally made it on the on ramp to I-35 and several yards down the freeway we found the cause of the back-up... a tiny fender bender that caused a back-up miles long.

I know, it's a little dark.. I forgot to turn my flash on....I'm sure people were wondering why I was taking a picture of the accident. So then we arrive!!! We only missed about half of the first period. Go Spurs Go!!!

Then it was time to find our seats....OMG!!!!! I have never been more terrified in my life!!!! This was our bird's eye view.....

Please take note that we are looking DOWN to see the scoreboard/jumbo-tron thingy....yikes!!! Perry was visibly shaking when we finally got to our seats....Yes this was taken during the game...can you see the players on the court?? I didn't think so....we couldn't either. Ha! No wonder they call these the cheap seats...

We were in the rafters!!!!Took this pic to give another angle of how high we actually were.

We were pretty much on the same level as the championship banners that hang from the ceiling!!!
We were seated in row 11 and there were only 16 rows!!!!Only 5 rows were behind us!!!!

After Holley performed, we mountain climbed back up to our seats (we had to go down to a special section to be able to photograph and video her performance). We made it 'till the beginning of the fourth period. The Spurs were winning by 20 and we decided to bail. Guess the oxygen was too thin up there...we were still freaking out a little. We made the trek to the car and started for home. Once again, we found ourselves in a traffic jam on I-35. After driving a few hundred yards we saw ANOTHER accident...Gee whiz people...The weather was awesome...Cold but dry....We got home as fast as we could before we could run into anything else "interesting".

This was the rear end of the police car on the right shoulder ...bet he was wondering what the heck I was doing taking pictures of his patrol car.

I know this is blurry....sorry folks....we were moving quicker by then....thank goodness.

Will post pics and hopefully a video of Holley's performance tomorrow. The video may be too long to post here, but we have pictures too!!! Holley was excited because there was a picture of her on the jumbo-tron....How cool is that??? Meme said there was a second or two of their performance on TV too. Neat-o.... Stay tuned....

p.s.....so far so good with Landry....no reaction as of yet.... please keep praying it will stay that way and this will be the one antibiotic he can take.... S
