Keeping up with the Kants

So...Exciting weekend. It started tame enough; Erich and I had some dinner and then I settled in to watch cable and check email (since we had been without it all week), while he decided to go to a friend's to play Wii and drink. Fast forward to about 1:30am. I have been in and out of sleep because Abbey doesn't sit still when one of us is gone, especially at night. So, I am cranky because she's barking and I'm tired. Then my phone rings; I see it's Erich and assume he wants a ride. I was half right. Here's the transcription: Me: Hello? E: We're you sleeping? M:(duh) yeah. E: I've been in an accident and think I need stitches... M: (I'm thinking accident=car=dui=not good) What? E: (He begins to repeat what he just said) M: NO! I mean, what happened! E: Oh...well, we were playing wii and then I was wrestling with Justin and I hit my mouth on his (wait for it) belt buckle. M: Groan...OK, I'll be over... So, I pick him up, and it doesn't look goo...

Just get on the floor and do the New Kids Dance! I think everyone at the Qwest, young and old, was doing just that. I was a huge NKOTB freak; I had an entire wall in my bedroom devoted to them, posters and magazines and whatnot. I even made my friends take their picture in front of it and sent them to the band. My favorite was Danny; I remember once Christmas I was so mad because my grandma had gotten me the Jon doll, not Danny. After seeing Jon performing last night, I'd say the doll had more personality and spunk. He went through the motions of the steps and whatnot, he sang along, but he also spent more time laughing and mocking his bandmates than entertaining the audience. Except I found that entertaining, so I guess he connected with one person. My 12-year self was in heaven last night; our seats were initially at the very top of hte bowl, but they moved us since a closer section right next to the stage didn't sell out. We had a great view of the front and back of stage--I...

We closed on the house last Friday, and have started making it our own. Painting is nearly complete in the living and dining rooms, and we're almost done with the kitchen and basement. The master bedroom and hallway are done, but I am thinking the master looks weird, so I may redo it. I'll post pictures once we're done, so far there isn't much to see! We move this Friday, so we're dividing time between the house to paint and clean, and the apartment to pack and clean. And Abbey is losing her mind, she just doesn't get the new house yet--although she was comfortable enough to pee on the carpet already ;) Just wanted to post an update, it'll probably be another two weeks before I do it again! I am going to see NKOTB tomorrow night at the Qwest, hopefully I can sneak in my camera and get some sweet shots of that!!
