So.
LB's visit was a big ol' success. We did the Breaking Laces concert thing TWICE in Chapel Hill. It rocked both times (with the second one being the low-key type venue, one I usually prefer on a Tuesday night). We got to talk to the band both nights (I felt very rockstar-esque just talking to someone I think is quite famous). They are a great, great live band, check out their website www.breakinglaces.com. Seriously good. And funny and very nice.
Otherwise, we just shopped, ate a ton of food, watched a bunch of Gilmore Girls, LB got her daily naps in, and no real fights. A fantastic few days break from reality.
Back to reality. I found a place. It is a duplex, walking distance to everything cool in Raleigh, eat-in kitchen, own driveway and a front porch for rocking chairs, potted plants and other fun grown-up things. They approved my application and we just need to finalize lease things. Fantabulous all together.
And this may sound lame, but I totally understand why girls throw themselves at guys in bands. There is just something about a lanky, shaggy hair, scraggly guy on stage singing and playing an instrument that makes you want to jump his bones. Now I will just ponder the science behind it all.
Later gators!
