Sarah McLachlan

WOW. That's all I have to say. The most amazing show I've ever seen. EVER. It deserves a "BEST. SHOW. EVER." I only remember the two songs that she opened with in terms of order of songs, and a few that went together, but man! I was crying, singing, and feeling completely overwhelmed by her breathtaking voice.

 
She opened with Fallen (while I was standing in the drink line) then went into World On Fire (while I was still in the drink line.) Then she sang a verse of You Are My Sunshine that lead into Hold On. Then, not in the right order:

 
• Sweet Surrender
   
• Adia
   
• Witness (which was the best song of the night - IMHO)
   
• Stupid
   
• Drifting
   
• Fear (Which she started in a low octave for the first verse, then jumped to the next octave for the rest of the song - GOOSEBUMPS)
   
• Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
   
• I will Remeber You
   
• Building a Mystery  (when I was in the bathroom - after two drinks that's what happens)
   
• Possession
   
• Wait
   
• Mary
   
• Elsewhere (My favorite SM song)
   
• Ice (also really amazing)
   
• Ice Cream (with audience participation)
   
• Trainwreck
   
• Answer 
   
• Push (which she dedicated to her husband - the drummer Ash Sood) /Angel (Piano Solos)
   
• Time
   
• Perfect Girl
   
• Dirty Little Secret (ended the show with that one, I think)
  

 
I kept waiting for her to sing I Love You, Good Enough, Dear God but alas, t'was not so. :(
 
But still. 26 songs. 2 encores. 2 and a half hours on non-stop Sarah McLachlan. I'm sad that it's over. I hope I won't have to wait another 7 years to see her again.
 

Our Trip to Canada

So Brandon and I are going on our roadtrip in 19 days! The countdown begins! We reserved our room for our 2 year anniversary in Edmonton and we're staying at Hotel MacDonald in their Chateau Suite. It's two stories (built into the turret of the hotel - see the picture from the website to know what I'm talking about) and has a jetted bathtub with seperate shower stall. Full breakfast in their fine dining restaurant comes with the room as does a breathtaking view of the North Saskatchewan River (which is probably brown, but hey, at least it's a river.)  For our first night in Edmonton, My Uncle Pat and Auntie Janet are letting us stay with them, which is totally awesome. Our aniv. night is the next night, and then for the next two nights we're staying at The Met Hotel on Whyte Ave. I can't wait! I'm freaking out over here!
 
I celebrated Auntie Die Die's birthday with her on Friday night. We had chinese food and watched VH1's "I love the 90's." It was fun. Uncle Danny got back after 10pm with a Carvel ice cream cake. MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm....
 
I still have to get my car registered (my registration expires while I'm on vacation) get my A/C checked out (to make sure we don't lose it during our trip) and I have to finish Brandon's aniv. present. Damn. So much to do, so little time. Oh well.
