On Saturday, we headed out to Baltimore to walk around the bay area. It was a gorgeous day! We went aboard the USS Constellation, the last all sail warship built by the US Navy. It was very interesting! www.constellation.org We ate dinner after touring the ship at M & S Grill--this restaurant is also on the plaza in KC. Dinner was delicious! I had fish and chips and David had Shrimp Pomadoro, some fancy Italian dish. He kept telling me that we had to be somewhere by 8pm. I kept thinking, "where could we be going???" He told me that we missed this "show" when we were in Kansas City. So, that got me thinking..Disney on Ice? Maybe Coldplay? I was way off! He had gotten tickets for us to see one of our favorite comedians, Joel McHale, host of one of our favorite Friday night shows, "The Soup." http://www.eonline.com/on/shows/thesoup/ Here's one of his quotes:
"In prison, inmates sometimes use Cheetos and grape juice as makeup. I wouldn't use that beauty regimen around Britney Spears- she might lick your face off!"
Joel likes to use "Stains" in his comedy act--http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUbsc_a-e3g
I got a T-Shirt with "Stains" on it, and we met Joel after the show--he signed my T-Shirt, "Libby-Happy 60th Birthday! (chicken tetrazini) heart Joel McHale."
All in all, this was an absolutely magical night for me! I mean, c'mon, we met Joel McHale! He overheard us saying that we had just moved to Maryland and asked what brought us here. I told him that State Farm did. And, he said, "I have State Farm!" I guess he did a commercial for them 6 years ago?? Pretty cool!
Jane, my mother in law, said something before we left that stuck in my mind. She told David and I to make memories here, and we're doing just that! Thank you, Jane, for that advice! It is so true. The more memories we make here, the more this feels like "home."
Fun facts/Side notes:
*David's first day of work is tomorrow!

*Velveeta costs 6.19, gas is 2.35 a gallon, and milk is 2.99 a gallon..
