Depeche Mode was my first concert ever. I'm shocked my mom let me go. We had to drive up to Houston (100 miles). On a school night. It was really fun, though. Recently, one of my friends who I went with back then joined me to relive the experience. Surreal. But still a super fun show.

Note: At the time of this post the list ran through #31. I'm going to add to it, however, to keep track of future concerts.



And some bonus tidbits:

* I have a list of 100 things for which I'm thankful (idea stolen from Geek). However, since she hasn't posted hers I'm waiting to post mine. It was her idea after all. I just didn't want to wait to start mine because I didn't want to be influenced by her list.

* I'm feeling uncertain because I found out today that my supervisor is leaving at the end of the month. Wonder what's going to happen to me? I'm an orphan yet again...

* Also, even though I'm in Austin and could eat anywhere, listen to this hotel menu item. The Ranch Cobb: Chopped greens served with smoked brisket, colby cheddar and pepperjack cheese, caramelized onion, roasted tomato and avocado. Yeah, sounds freakin' good to me, too.

Another great list, cjh! You've been to lots of concerts! I guess if I sat down and thought about it I'd realize I've been to more than I think....maybe I'll just do that.

And OMG that Ranch Cobb sounds DELISH! I hope you tried it!

NO!!!! Don't be sucked in by the salad! Get your butt out of your hotel room and go to dinner at Z Tejas! Or Stubb's! Or El Arroyo! Or Kerby Lane! Or Magnolia! Or a hundred other places Bubba and I can't go to because we are thousands of miles away! Please! I beg of you! My unborn child begs you! I have to live vicariously through your stomach, and I demand a margarita and quacamole from El Arroyo!!!

I have never been to half that many concerts. You literally rock.

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine...
