What I'm Looking Forward To
A friend's band, Big Red G, is having a CD release party and playing at Ten-Mile this weekend.
All-American Rejects concert.
LobSlau next weekend (moved back to the actual anniversary to violate of the Laws of Moses).
Billy Joel / Elton John concert.
Coldplay concert. (Woo! Thanks .75)
The market going over 8,000. It gets a little crazy at work at 3:00 Central Standard Time nowadays.
What I'm Not Looking Forward To
Doing the taxes. Usually the taxes are done by now, but this year I have to do Mom's too. Of course, I do Mom's every year, but this time I can't turn to her after that question on TurboTax and say, "So, are you deceased?"
Cleaning the house. Well, the house is clean, just I haven't taken anything down to the basement since the end of January.
The big in-law blowout birthday. There's going to be a magic confluence of the birthdays: Gary, his sister, his mother. This one should be interesting; the in-laws have all been fractious the last few months and now everyone's face will be at the table and I'm anticipating friction.
Good, good, more in the "looking forward to" column. Must be spring.
When you go to the Coldplay concert, and Chris Martin gets you all doing the Wave with your lit-up cellphones in the dark, just remember WE DID IT IN AUCKLAND FIRST!

Big Dot - BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Queen - LobSlau? How come you changed the name? Is the giant cross really necessary? I mean, when you violate the laws of Moses, you REALLY violate them! hehehe
P.S. I'll probably just bring cheese unless there are some other donations you might want.

I feel righteous this Spring, abosolutely riotous. It has been a difficult winter and damn, here comes the Spring!
WEE-HEE!

Also -- NOT WHINING. I'm glad you posted what you posted. It's HARD. And we get to be supportive of you and say "We like you" and all that stuff. It did not sound like whining, and I didn't hear whining, and therefore, it was not whining. It was talking -- to friends.

You didn't even mention going downtown. Did that turn out blogworthy?

Fractious friction in the future. Good times ahead.
