Some really aggressive slam-dancer (pre-"mosh" days) in the pit got a shoulder full of me so that his spiked wrist bands slapped soundly into his girl friend's face - not one of my proudest moments but hey, they got tossed out of the show.Puckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664535689082594733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604824.post-1116008664385091172005-05-13T11:24:00.000-07:002005-05-13T11:24:00.000-07:00i saw "x" back in 1983 at montezuma hall at san di...i saw "x" back in 1983 at montezuma hall at san diego state.<BR/><BR/>strange coincidence: ex-hub was at the same concert, but we didn't even know each other until 1986 but i remember him b/c he was the tallest guy there (6', 5"). very weird.<BR/><BR/>my fave "x" song is "white girl".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604824.post-1116008519988135162005-05-13T11:21:00.000-07:002005-05-13T11:21:00.000-07:00we like the same breakfasts as you know b/c i post...we like the same breakfasts as you know b/c i post about them frequently on the weekends. bacon. eggs. toast. coffee. juice. other carbohydrate: cinnamon rolls, pancakes, hash browns or waffles, pick one.<BR/><BR/>i know that feeling when you wake up. it's at once disconcerting and blissful. i had all three last sunday for mother's day, which was one of the best ever. my first mother's day was #1, followed by the one this year. <BR/><BR/>i am kid-free from 6 tonight until sometime sunday...babydoll and i have to see talby (our kitten) on sunday. wish i had something whiz-bang to look foward to, but that's okay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604824.post-1115952698931201502005-05-12T19:51:00.000-07:002005-05-12T19:51:00.000-07:00Oh, how I love a mess o' bacon.

I missed my kids whenever they were with their dad and for a while that made it hard for me to relax and enjoy the alone time. Which I desperately needed to catch up on, yes, client billing (ARGGHHH!), housecleaning and recovering my equilibrium.<BR/>Eventually, as they got older and because he stayed in the same school area they set their own routines depending on where they were at developmentally. They were usually here when sick or hurting, ALWAYS there when wanting to get away with some nonsense like skipping school. etc. But even now, when they are mostly out on their own, I miss them. I like your posts- and sometimes your taste in music is exceptional- yes to Kate Bush.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604824.post-1115951019875343322005-05-12T19:23:00.000-07:002005-05-12T19:23:00.000-07:00I can understand that feeling.

When he was taking visits once in a while it was nice to get an occasional weekend to myself, where the hubs and I could relax kid-free. Ah well, can anyone recommend a good babysitter in Kansas? ;)SeeingDoublehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07206718269897242772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604824.post-1115937696780050542005-05-12T15:41:00.000-07:002005-05-12T15:41:00.000-07:00Sweetie, enjoy that alone time while you can...you...Sweetie, enjoy that alone time while you can...your days are most definitely numbered. *wink* <BR/><BR/>But, yes, it is heavenly.
