Life

Things have been busy lately. "Busy" meaning I've been staying up late reading and driving myself to work to sleep in. What one will do for an extra 30 minutes of sleep. The irony is that if I take the train I get 2 hours of extra reading time, but I love instant gratification and Hank tried to pry the kindle from my sleepy hands last night and I fought him for it.

Sunday we went to see dashboard confessional at the glass house. It was a Christmas gift from Mimi. Last year, also in January, we went to see dashboard days after finding out that we were pregnant. It was a very good show then, but very tiring. Fast forward to this year and it was a very good show, and also very tiring. Differences between last year and this year:

I had a baby at home.

Mimi has a boyfriend.

We all had to drink coffee before leaving for the show so we didn't fall asleep.

Last year we showed up early to the show to get good floor space, this year we showed up late to allow extra dinner time and time with previously mentioned baby at home.

Denise slept over (Denise and I are finally having sleepovers after years and years of friendship.)

Chris Carrabba sang Bitter Pill. Years of going to Dashboard Concerts paid off in one amazing song where I lost my voice and we all screamed at the top of our lungs.

Also, I got giggly when the concert started, like a 13 year old who has stayed up past their bedtime.

On the Henry front, h has started doing something I had no idea he would ever do. He has started sucking his two middle fingers. Not his thumbs. not his fist. But two fingers - sometimes three. This is charming for two reasons.

1. It's adorable, look at the picture.

2. I used to do the same exact thing as a child.
