we can make this happen

I'm in the midst of a cold, cold winter. It's been above freezing (34) just one afternoon in several weeks. Still, I'm feeling guilty about driving to work as many of my colleagues are still riding in. Sheesh. I said I could last through the winter this year but I was horribly mistaken.

In other news, I ate meat yesterday. I didn't even feel bad about it or anything. I'm carrying this line of fresh pasta made by a 'mom and pop' operation on the west side of town and they happen to make rotolo, layered flavored pastas with cheese and spinach sprinkled with prosciutto. It came in and i simply couldn't say no. It was delicious!

Now I'm home enjoying an episode 'Man Vs. Wild,' watching Bear bathe in siberian snow while I wait for xtina to come home.

I bought Bonnie 'Prince' Billy tickets this morning and I'm super psyched about the show - and about peter and erin coming in to see it. I also bought Neko Case tickets for the Chicago Theater. I figure I've never been there and I'd love to see her in that setting. With so many concerts coming to town, I'm not sure where to stop. I almost bought Morrissey tickets. I almost bought antony and the johnsons tickets.

Only eight more weeks 'til vacation.
