I'm going out for the day tomorrow. Maybe for some of you, this is no big deal. Making plans with girlfriends, going out to dinner and taking in a concert are normal occurrences. Not for me. We are traveling 3 hours just to get to the concert so you can imagine how infrequently artists I want to see in concert even come to this area! So when two of my favorites booked a show in Syracuse, you'd better believe I was finding a way to go. Plans for shopping, stops at all the stores we don't go to with our kids and dinner out weren't far behind. I'm already wondering how I'll manage to not snuggle my sweetie blonde baby for 12+ hours but it will be worth it. Remembering how to be me, just me with my friends, is important too.
