ah they were but babes. :) tonight, we're traveling to the riviera theater in chicago to see the pogues perform. i am so very excited; this chance doesn't present itself often. my sister adrianne is coming from michigan. we'll all have a rollicking good time, i'm sure.

mom and dad are watching the baby. i am rather anxious about leaving him; i know he'll have the best care, and he loves his nana and grandpa, so i'm fully aware it's completely my problem and has no basis in reality. so i'm trying to get over that suffocating feeling high up in my chest and just get on with it. we're driving back right after the show, so i'm sure he'll be ready to rock and nurse when we get home, which will give me a chance to feel better about leaving him. :)

shannon had called the night before last to let us know that EDDIE IZZARD is going on tour!!!! he is not coming to milwaukee, but he will be performing at the chicago theatre in may, so we bought our tickets yesterday. the show is called Stripped, and it's still beyond my tiny little mind's comprehension that we'll get to see him LIVE. i positively adore him.

we ended up not making that pork loin for dinner last night. we got a bit of a late start, so bryan made me some makeshift croque monsieurs. we didn't have the proper cheeses, didn't make a bechemel or anything so fancy, but we did have the bread, mayo, dijon, ham, and some colby jack, so it was close enough for me (especially considering i haven't had grilled cheese since early november). i was happy.

WFD: road food, more than likely. we want to try to slip in between traffic rushes and plan on getting to chicago when their rush hour is just ending. so we'll probably pick something easy up on the way.
