My PLAYLIST in Progress

Lovin' Moz

So, I finally got to see my second Morrissey concert. I bought the tix months ago, and realized a few weeks ago that I had not one person to go with. What, you may ask, is a married woman doing without a date to a concert? Well, Mike isn't a Morrissey fan, and I thought for sure I could find someone to go with me. HA! Was I mistaken...

For many and various circumstances, I couldn't find an accomplice, so I tried selling the tickets myself, and Mike tried at his job. We got one of two responses: "Morrissey? Who's that?" or "Morrissey? Me at a Morrissey show?! NO way (cue stinging, hurtful laughter)." Last week I even tried giving them away, with no success. Mike felt bad, so he decided to go, since he knew I was so looking forward to seeing this show.

And it was great!!!!!! Mike's parents watched Sam for the evening, and had a fun time. This show was better than his last visit to StL, many old favs, new gems, and more old favs! And he took his shirt off no less than three times! *swoon*

I even fell into form and bought a tour t-shirt...and had a few vodka tonics. It was the best night out I've had in a long time. There were a few people I was expecting to see there; notice I didn't say 'hoping to see'. I looked around and saw no one familiar to me but Michael and Moz. Two men I find most sexy and handsome on the planet in the same building at the same time! WOOO HOOOO! So awesome!!!

And today, back to my established routine. More specifically now, Sam's bath time. I've been revisiting my Smiths and Morrissey collection today, and Sam seems to enjoy my singing, even if it is way off key. So now, we go to listen to "Bona Drag" at the end of our evening. Good night.

Lonely...with Rice Krispie Treats

Okay, so I've been alone in the house now for nearly six hours, and starting to feel lonely. I mean, not really, cos Sam is here. But Michael and I haven't been away from one another for more than 8-12 hours a a time since we started living together. I have four and a half days to get through!!!! He's in Chicago for a International Retrosession Reinsurance Conference, hob-nobbing with people from his company's overseas and interational offices (i.e. Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, UK, Canada). And in a very nice hotel on Lakeshore Drive!

I'm feeling pathetic, though, because many married couples are separated for far longer; like military families...they may not even know if or when their spouse will come back home. And so here I am, worried over four days. I should get over it and just relax, I know.

Anyhow, I had this tremendous craving for Rice Krispie treats, so I made a batch. I can't stand the store-bought kind, and they aren't hard to make at all. Sam and I are going to watch ARISTOCATS tonight and have popcorn and Rice Krispie treats with chocolate milk to wash it all down. Somehow, I'm very excited that we have plans, especially since this is my favorite Disney movie ever. Yeah, laugh it up....how many of you have seen it? I can't explain why, but I love it. Maybe its the fact that the motivation behind the whole plot is a rich old woman puts in her wil that her cats are to inherit her fortune and the butler is offended since he's devoted his life's service to her and gets nothing. I dunno....

Okay, it's almost movie time, so I've gotta go. Happy Springtime, little bunnies!
