Early birthday present to me

Monday is my birthday. I am another year older in my early 30s and break into 32. With Dominick's birthday being at the end of the month, I have been consistently forgetting about my own birthday as I just focus on his. Now that I'm passed the 30 mark, birthdays aren't a big deal until, well, 40. Eek. But to celebrate this "occasion" I've taken Monday off and Brad and I are going to see Watchmen. We are very, very excited.

It has been a very, very rough few weeks in our household. We had a scare with the babe, but after an amniocentesis test, everything came back a-okay, so we will be having a healthy baby girl. Phew! Brad is currently looking for a new job, which has been... difficult, but we're confident he'll find something new. Because it's so easy to be unemployed in this shit economy right now.

In response to my last post, NIN did post some of their tour dates with Jane's Addiction and lo and behold, they are coming to Darien Lake on June 3rd! Yup, I am going to be 8 months pregnant at a concert. Maybe it will get things moving along. This is assuming things are still going normally and I'm not on bed rest for some reason. But, I am way, way psyched and checking daily for when tickets go on sale.

The weather up here has finally started to turn. Well, kind of. We had some frigid weather in the 20s earlier this week, but now we're having a heat wave and are in the 40s and 50s. Doesn't sound like much to most people, but after dealing with frigid temps for several months, it is a much welcome relief. Almost all of the snow has melted and everything looks brown and dirty, but dammit, it isn't white!

A dream come true

Anyone who knows me knows that Nine Inch Nails is my favorite band. Of all time. I have pretty much everything they've put out and have seen them live twice, once in Buffalo over 10 years ago and then a few years ago here in Rachacha. Well, on my daily visit to nin.com, Trent posted that he hung out with Jane's Addiction. The original Jane's Addiction. THE Jane's Addiction. In Trent's long post about getting together with them, his feelings for them, etc. he dropped the bomb that NIN will be putting on one more tour... with Jane's. I almost fell out of my chair. I love Jane's. Love. Them. This would be the concert of all concerts for me. I told my music buddy Jason that if they come REMOTELY close, we are TOTALLY buying tickets. I have no problem traveling or going to a concert preggo, that's for damn sure. So, now it's just a waiting game to see what the tour dates look like. Please, please, please let them come within driving distance.
Here's one of my favorite songs by Jane's from a very recent small gig they played:
