I'm a big believer in things happening for a reason. I haven't posted over the past couple of days because it has been a complete crapfest here in LibraryDivaland. First, my library is not the most fun place to work right now. Second, I had to wrap up not one but two classes that I am teaching. Finally, my mother arrived this weekend which always creates lots of "what the heck are we going to do this weekend" anxiety. (I took her to see Hidalgo and Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. FYI, Patrick Swayze is not aging well.) Needless to say, the past couple of days have been a little tense.

Which leads me to why I believe that things happen for a reason. My life has sucked recently, so the universe owes me something good to make up for it. Today I read about Madonna visiting Israel during her next tour. I hadn't even realized that she had a tour this summer, that's how out of the loop I am on things right now. Anyhoodles, I visited her tour site and noticed that not only is she coming to Chicago (sometimes she doesn't), but that the pre-sale for Chicago tickets is today at noon (which I have access to). If I hadn't read that article this morning I would have had no idea that 1) Madonna was going on tour this summer or 2) that I needed to buy tickets today if I wanted to see her.

I can't wait to get my tickets. This is so going to make up for all the crap of the past week.
