Awesome recent events:
1. When I showed up in LA, not only was I able to sell off my extra tickets to the Foo show, but both of my nieces welcomed me with enthusiasm. The Chipmunk was just too tired to walk from the car when Gram brought her home from preschool, and demanded that Auntie must carry her. She laid her head on my shoulder and gave me big hugs when I put her down for a much needed nap. Ruffle Butt grinned at me the second I walked in the door. I talked to her for a minute or two while she sat on her quilt on the floor with her toys, and when I walked up and held out my arms to her, she demanded to be picked up as well. Like my sister said, her kids don't even miss me; they just act as if I'd never left.
2. The Foo show...OMG. Seriously, if you like them at all and they come to a stadium near you, go! I loved seeing them at smaller venues for the intimacy, but the Forum show was just fucking amazing for the sheer size and volume of it. Wait, I have to add an addendum to that...they were great, the opener Serj Tankian, not so much. His band kicked absolute ass, but Serj inspired me to put in earplugs and actually leave them in. That was a first. Anyway, Dave Grohl called us motherfuckers at least 3 times, which is always a plus for me. They played everything I wanted to hear, even "Big Me" which involved braving having Mentos hucked at them (check out the video on YouTube if you don't know what I'm referring to). The only song missing was my favorite, "Aurora," the inspiration for the spinthesun moniker, although that was never a single, and they didn't play it last time either. All in all, totally worth coming in at 1 am for (I even got up with Ruffle Butt around 4!).
3. My big girl toy order came in. EB and I are both very, um, satisfied with that.
4. One of the Bunco girls commented to me that it looks like I'm still losing weight. She said that she hoped I didn't take it wrong and asked if I wanted to know where she saw it. I said she could tell me anything she wanted about there being less of me, then she confessed that it was in my butt. Em, you can check out my ass anytime.
Not awesome recent events:
1. Um, the end of my weekend.
That's not-awesome enough for anyone, right?
