a few decades later

i had the pleasure of going to nin and jane's addiction on friday with miss d. loved it. found out when we got there during the show that it may likely be the last nin show ever. glad i did not miss it. it is almost summertime so nin went on during the day light which is not as fun but they did end after sunset. it was a nice mix of old stuff and new. trent made music that changed my taste in music and i am glad i have got to live the past 20 years with him. jane's addiction had it's original line up. it was in fu**ing credible! loved it they were so good! all these bands bring me memories of dancing with trent in a hotel room - experiencing my first space cake in a foreign country, learning how to stage dive blah blah blah. mommy has done a few fun things before settling down.

the crowd i must get into - the majority was older like me - but the fashion was firmly still of that decade. i hate to say it but i was perhaps the best dressed and best looking there - even being forty and try to dress warm for the cold evening. i do not ever think that is the case when i venture out - but when you go out in the burbs there is not much competition. i even felt like i was being checked out when we ate at a sports bar before the show.

on to saturday - we got up early to trek to petalumie to be reunited with my chunk. i have missed him so much. he did not make it until at least 3pm - much too long to wait. big smile and all those cheeks and teeth. i spent an hour laying in bed with him tonight while watching planet earth way past his bedtime. he loves animals and i was his pillow. when he got excited about something he likes to point and tell me about it. he clearly using mama when is asking for me and baba for big b. he also knows bah for ball. my parents do know how to train. i told popo that 4days is as long as i can go without him and she told big b that the solid week was not enough and she wants 2 years. she did not try this on me. i know that we are lucky to have g-parents that love their g-kids but 2 years! i am glad she is not getting laid off her job or we would have to do some serious negotiating. that will be for another day.

the weather is awful - cold and foggy. makes me want to go to the suburbs. all we could do was leave for target and spend $300. we are such consumers. we did get one things that the kids love called the "hairy ball" if you don't have it you must pick it up.

i am going to eat a bunch of ice cream now. good night!
