standing in a huricane

If you happened to have walked by my house this morning between 8:56 and 9:06 you would have seen a blue streak bobbing past all the windows... that would have been me.. in my big terrycloth robe... dancing with my two kids to Beck's Gamma Ray. That is this month's official Dance song. We all get down to it... especially Kate.. she's a great groover even at her young age. The only way I got Zachariah to keep from repeating in "again!!" was to promise him he could go take a bath. I triple dog dare you to keep yourself still while listening.. but then what fun would that be!

Last night I ran up to the cities to see one of my current fave bands: Great Lake Swimmers. Doors opened at 8 but they didn't play until 11:30... a little late for this old lady. I didn't get home until 3:30am. But they were good. Perfect even. I was in the front row for them. It's a little awkward being in the front row at 7th st entry cause you're literally 2 feet from the band and so you're like "do I look at him while he sings and feel like some sort of psycho or do I just stare at the guitar or what" I think I'm more of a third row kind of girl... but I didn't want to deal with having really tall people in front of me. I'm glad I went.

Before hand I had my first Monte Cristo sandwich at Gluek's. Very interesting.. it's like the precursor to the mcgriddle.

Today I made a schedule for this fall for the kids and I. I'm actually excited to start it and get our lives in some semblance of order.
