Twin Shadows

Best. Night. Ever. Highlights:

-The Family H first and foremost.
-drinking the fastest celebratory glass of prosecco on record with said Family H
-delicious delicious Vietnamese food
-the Bottletree Cafe. I loved it. Both my Love and I had the strangest sense of deja vu there which was interesting.
-self made ET (the Extra Terrestrial) wallpaper in the ladies restroom in the cafe.
-the hipster Christian youth of Birmingham, you guys are so respectful at concerts it is ridiculous! I love you! More importantly JESUS loves you!
-Twin Shadows and Niki and the Dove. Magical. Wonderful. Best. Show. Ever!
-people watching at the show was really great. Someone was wearing rollerskates. And they weren't wearing them ironically, they were wearing them as their straight up shoes. Mad skillz and propz, yo.
-grilled pimento cheese sandwich that blew. my. mind. Cheese laced with mayonaise and heated up on grilled bread?!?! Get in my mouth. Why do I not eat this every day? Oh,  right. Because of my crazy fondness for fitting through doors and not having to buy all new pants. Rest assured I WILL be eating this more though. I think it would be amazing with tomato soup, as breakfast food, whatever and whenever really.
- riding in the car with JMS my Love. He is the best road trip companion ever. He is the best life companion ever. He is just the best person ever. He is the grilled pimento cheese sandwich of my heart.

Non Highlights:
-leaving at 4:30 this morning
-not getting to play with baby E

Undecided Highlights:
-only finding Phil Collins on EVERY radio station at Birmingham in the wee hours of the morn. What's up with that?
-my almond amaretto fake cappuccino coffee-esque gas station beverage. Why yes, for the record, almond amaretto is repetitively redundant. It was a taste that was so strong I felt as though it had seeped into my skin and was a nimbus around my head of fake almond scent. It was sort of nice for two minutes, except then I didn't want it all in my mouth and I am still tasting it hours later.
-only having pictures of Vietnamese food from last night and the welcome to Alabama sign. I was too busy having fun. Although, there was a full length mirror in the restroom that I really should have taken advantage of.

For those who are wondering, yes, we did get three entrees. And this morning at 4:30 am I turned to John and said "you know, we really should have gotten two extra sandwiches and left them in the fridge for this morning." Clearly I am off of my A-game. Next time, next time.
