Polka Freakout!

Last night was awesome. This kid, Alex Meixner, blew my mind out of the water! He plays both button accordion and trumpet like a motherfucker. He also sings and has a LOT of energy onstage. It is a sight to see! And my dear friend Bubba was in awesome form as well. I didn't realize how much I miss his live singing. He dedicated "Volver Volver" to my mom, which was so sweet. Unfortunately I had to split at about midnight b/c I knew I just had to get some sleep. No matter what, I always do my best to make sure I get at least 8 hours of sleep every night, and I know that is really, really good for my health. Especially since all the stress I'm going through is not. My mom bought us both copies of their CD. I also lucked out last night in the sense that for some reason, I did not get charged the cover charge ($7) so Mano's $10 will go towards going to Galveston on Monday with Tito J. and our friends from out of town!

S spent the night w/his coworker last night b/c his left contact ripped and so he couldn't see so now he's going to have to go buy another box of left eye today. This money thing is like climbing a hill of sand.

I have to admit, I am looking forward greatly to this weekend. I told S to not worry about picking up the baby today since he needs to work and we really need every last dollar he can make right now, so I'll be picking her up. I'm also hunting some white/beige drapes/curtains on craigslist and have some possible prospects.

Tomorrow I plan on sleeping in and then we'll go to storytime at the Library. We'll go home and make a grape salad for R.'s BBQ, then we've got to head south to Friendswood, TX for a wedding! Sunday is church and then zoo time w/our out-of-town friends and they've promised to bring a picnic. Monday we still have the baby for an extended weekend (visitation weekends are extended by national holidays, yay!) and we're supposed to go to the beach w/Tito J. but I'm not sure what the weather is going to be like.

Whew!
