"I know I'll never be lonely
I've got songs in my blood
I'm carrying all of the love of an orchestra
give me the love of an orchestra"
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Please excuse my tardiness on this. I had balloon sinuplasty surgery on Wednesday (Operation Awkward Balloon) so I completely lost track of it being a new month!
Three months down, meaning we’re 1/4 through this year! So far 2012 has been kicking 2011’s butt. (Sorry 2011, but you know it’s true!)

Scenes from my weekend: Mandy’s #5or25 Birthday Celebration!
One of my biffles Mandy turned 25 this Saturday, and we celebrated in style with a mixture of activities.
On the 5 side, we had: watching the Lorax (there was a 5 year old birthday party group there!) wandering the Disney store and the American Girl Store, and accidentally eating mostly sugar the entire day.
On the 25 side, we had: crepes at our favorite creperie, shopping at Charming Charlies, pretzel bun burgers at Clarkes followed by Forever Yogurt, and two shows at the Double Door and The Township.
I’m pretty sure we jam-packed the day with as much awesome per square inch as possible. A perfect way to usher Mandy into the 25 club!
“Only hang around people that are positive and make you feel good. Anybody who doesn’t make you feel good kick them to the curb and the earlier you start in your life the better. The minute anybody makes you feel weird and non included or not supported, you know, either beat it or tell them to beat it.”

Tomorrow is March, can you believe it?
Lisa Frank looks exactly as I have always imagined. I hope this picture was taken in April of 1992, and that shortly thereafter Lisa was cryogenically frozen, and all subsequent newsletters have been distributed by her loyal following of highly trained dolphins. (Thanks to this commenter on my Open Letter to Lisa Frank at HelloGiggles for the link.)
Scenes from my weekend: #5or25
3 shows and Disney on Ice pretty much made this the best. weekend. ever. We started the weekend with show hopping between the Bottom Lounge and The House of Blues to catch Super Happy Fun Club, Santah, The Scissors, State and Madison, and The Hush Sound. The timing of the evening couldn’t have worked out any better, and we got to see several amazing sets!
Saturday started out with Disney on Ice. Yes, we may have been the only adults there without children accompanying us. Yes, it was absolutely amazing. After 2 hours of nonstop princesses and glitter, we headed back to the Bottom Lounge for night two of The Hush Sound reunion shows. I finally got to check out locals Empires, and was able to catch a full set from THS. All in all, an action packed weekend spent with my biffles, doing what we love most. Even if that makes us #5or25.
