It's been ages since my last post. Where has the time gone? Let's see......
First, we went to see The Swell Season with Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. It was phenomenal!! Neither the husband nor I could stop singing songs from the "Once" soundtrack for days.
Next, was the Flight of the Conchords show, which was hilarious but annoying at the same time. The constant chatter and shout-outs from the audience were, at one point, even too much for the duo as Jemaine made the comment that he felt like he was "in a room full of kindergarteners" and proceeded to "hush" the "little children". I truly felt embarrassed to be a Minnesotan that night.
The following weeks were filled with visits from out-of-town friends, buying a new (to us) boat and a backyard BBQ. But the highlight of this past month was this:
Seeing Barack Obama at the Xcel Center Tuesday night. What a momentous occasion. I don't think I've ever felt more like a part of history! This man amazes me - his vision for America, his eloquence, his refusal to join the mud-slingers....and I don't care if it may sound cliché, this man gives me hope; hope I've been waiting for a long, long time.
