If I had to pick my favorite thing about Milwaukee, it would be the Annual Sweetheart's Ball. Hands down. It's held every February in the vaulted foyer of the Milwaukee Art Museum (click the picture on the bottom-left corner) . Swing Nouveau--Milwaukee's performing swing band--plays the best of Frank Sinatra and Glenn Miller as hundreds of couples "swing-it-up" on the dance floor. And it's free. I'm usually not a "Valentine's Day" sap, but this dance gets me awfully close.BUT this year it was CANCELED. I was devastated. I'd been looking forward to this dance all year, but for whatever reason, the museum decided not to host it again. Again, more proof of the Everything-Is-Changing-During-Senior-Year trend that I blogged about before.
The Sweetheart's Ball would have been last night, but now I'm a little thankful I didn't get to go back. Instead, Kelly and I celebrated Friday night with a "quiet night it." After making a delicious Chicken Fennel entree, we watched Lady and the Tramp which neither of us had seen all the way through before. We may not have had a chocolate fountain, but it was the perfect way to cap a long, LONG week. So...three cheers for fennel.

Awwww, you guys are too cute! :) Too bad about the ball though ... that does indeed sound like fun! I remember when I was in college and swing "came back" and everyone would go out to the Blue Note (club in town) to hear swing music -- completely dressed up like we were all from the 1920s. TOO fun! If you're really into that era, check out the movie Swing Kids with Robert Sean Leonard and Christian Bale. Good movie!!
Sure this has nothing to do with the posted material, but I am hopeful this will be checked before a certain someone leaves the library. It is now 8:44 and I would like to say that T.Leaf is a BIG PRETTY PRINCESS! So anyone who sees him should now and forevermore call him a pretty pretty princess! HAHAHAHA.... HAHAHA.
