Almost knit free -- nope 100% knit free


Friday we went to the newest reincarnation of The Why Store featuring Benito DeBartoli's band fronted by Mr. Sexy (aka Chris Shaffer). I was excited about this combo and worried at the same time -- I love both bands but they are SO different. Benito plays Stevie Ray Vaughn covers and nice solid bluesy rocky songs and Chris plays Why Store songs and rock, but not bluesy rock but WOW, they were amazing. They didn't have much (if any) practice but you couldn't tell they rocked it. And the bass player (poor bass players always get overlooked) was awesome, he was able to look over the shoulders and keep the cords that way. Talent! You could scream the cords out to me and I'd still be behind on changes! I just hope that Benito still does his thing while helping out b/c they are an amazing band on their own and I'd hate to loose that; but it is a great combination when one song can take you 20 mins.


Saturday after long talks and many trips to the shelter we finally found our newest family member. This is Roxi; she's 7months old and way too skinny! She's so freaking tall and a very active, curious puppy. Boxers are full of energy and she is no different -- I forgot just how much work a puppy is. Luckily she's picking up quick on the housetraining and based on this weekend she's going to learn "NO!" rather quickly too. But as fiesty and horrible she is, she's so darn cute and loveable!
