I went to a Leonard Cohen concert with my friend Angela earlier this month! I was seriously like a giddy little school girl because I was so excited. That man is so amazing. He's super old and can still put on a 3 hour show making all the ladies swoon over his deep voice and lyrics. After the show, my friend and I went outside to an upstairs balcony and as I leaned over the side of the building looking down over the street I saw him get into an SUV with his entourage and speed away. What a lovely man.
Another wonderful thing happened this month...my mom's birthday! I was lucky enough to spend a lunch hour with her the other day and it's always so nice to talk to her. She has definitely become one of my best friends over the recent years. She is always there to listen to me complain or whatever. It would be so lovely if I could fund her retirement.
Tomorrow is April 28th and it's my big brother Matt's birthday. Yay! I hope he has a rad day and that that little daughter of his kicks him really good.
Even though things in the world are not great at the moment (swine flu, recession, job loss, etc.) I feel good and almost like things are looking up in my neck of the woods. Does anyone else feel like that? I know that times are tough but doesn't it seem like it's always something and that we always just manage to make it through anyway? I never thought that I would be where I am today after all the stupid stuff that I have done over the years but thanks to the support of my family, here I am! I have a decent job, a pretty sweet crib full of gaming systems and video games, and the best family a girl could ask for. Gosh, I didn't mean to get all sentimental but I really do feel very blessed.
May is right around the corner and it's going to be a busy month since we will be house hunting and the kids will be finishing up with school. The kids have been on a bike kick recently. I'm not sure exactly what started it but it's really awesome that they want to ride their bikes all around the neighborhood all the time! I will also be going to another concert (Kings of Leon) with Nurse Hack on the 19th and we are both excited about that. A sister's night out...without the kids and without our men! Watch out! I am taking the next day off in preparation for the shenanigans that I'm sure my sister will force me partake in.
Oh...and happy birthday to my friend Bronson! He is one of the people that I went to high school with, although I didn't actually know him in high school. There are actually a lot of people that I went to high school with and know now but didn't know them in high school. Darn these big cities and their overpopulated schools.
