motor city mellow

let's try this again. for some reason, i just lost everything i wrote....

last week was, well, a week.

so i was pretty happy to have today off. the husband and i hopped in the car and went off to detroit to visit friends and go to a concert put on by his favourite band incognito (i surprised him with the tickets by buying them while he was in italy). i'm always game for travel of any kind, especially if there's shopping involved. and when you go to the states, there's always shopping.

we left pretty early on sunday am from the inlaws house. the bulldog was very happy she got to sleepover at grandma and grandpa's house. we were not gone long enough for her to gain weight but i'm sure she ate everything in sight.

got to detroit around 1 pm so you know we left early. we stayed with a friend at her new house and she took us turbo shopping at target and trader joes so i could stock up on american stuff that we can't get here. then we met 24 of the husband's friends at a mexican restaurant, where unfortunately for me, i had the worst mexican meal of my life. and that even includes the "meal" i had at south of the border when i was a kid. how can you screw up chips and margaritas? well, they did.

the show was awesome but pretty late for the demographic. incognito didn't leave the stage until after midnight so tons of their fans left around 11:30, probably to take babysitters home or get to bed for work today. i liked the opening band liquid soul but i think it was too experimental and hip-hoppy for most of the folks.

the show was great for detroit people watching...

we left detroit pretty early this am but it's been nice chilling out at home. i'm relaxed which is great considering who knows what fresh hell awaits tomorrow....
