Get On Ur Boots.

Yes, I got my U2 tickets for October. I am feeling guilty to spend over 85 for a ticket, but Jason said I could splurge. We will be on the Floor, natch. The tickets are usually 30 but they were all sold out. Good ol' Ebay. Some nice person had them for a decent price. I figured it's not much more if you don't count the tax, service charge, and the "convenience" fee that Ticketmaster charges.

We are also going to see Jim Gaffigan in June. This will be our second time going to see his stand-up. He is excellent. We will be going to the Hard Rock Live. That is where Jason and I met while watching the White Stripes almost 6 years ago. It will be nice to go with Peter and Angela.

Work has been steady. We are suppose to have a new doctor on staff come July. I am glad Dr. Mck will get a break finally.

I have been working constantly in my yard. I planted bouganvillas on the fence and my herbs are taking off like wildfire. I put some of my basil in my Italian Veggie soup last night. Delish. I added some thyme to the pot as well. Its taking off.

My needy kitty Harlem is purring and rubbing on my feet as I type this blog. He's such a weirdo. I really wonder what goes on in that little brain of his.

Tuesday Tuesday

I saw two decent movies this weekend. Persepolis- the French cartoon about an Iranian girl obsessed with Iron Maiden. There was actually more to the story than that. A lot of political and social themes. Reminded me a lot of the old Madeline cartoons with a twist and profanity.

I am embarrassed to say that I had to ditch the French and watch the movie in English. Yes, me who took AP French. If anyone know me knows I can't just sit and watch a movie. I have to be actively doing something. I haven't gone the way of actually reading a book during a movie. I was losing the story as put together my scrapbooks. (Which I finished, thank you very much) Hours and hours of paper scraps, stickers, decals, and stencils. It is finally completer. Until the next journey, of course.

I would like to visit my brother in Savannah for Memorial Day. Jason, however, informed me that he would be working. Rats.

The other movie I enjoyed was My Blueberry Nights with Norah Jones. It was watchable but nothing I would bother to see again. I was expecting more out of her speaking voice. Kind of shrill in comparison to her beautiful singing. Her acting was ok. Not the next Meryl Streep.

Things have been very busy lately. Where is everyone finding time to have children? I know of at least 10 pregnant friends. I can hardly schedule time to have my hair cut. ( That is happening today.) I am very happy for all of them. Better them than me.:)

Delicious Pea Soup Part Deux

Yes, it's time again for Jason's grandma's pea soup. I started on it early this morning. I love all the smells it produces. It makes me want to run a restaurant, if running a restaurant meant just cooking when and for whom I wanted. Maybe I would just run a taste kitchen.

The herbs in my garden are taking off. I actually had some cilantro on my chili last night. The peppermint is not doing so hot, but it is coming back. I can't wait to use the stevia in a tea or something.

I've started scrapbooking again. I finished the St. Augustine trip and the trip I took to Virginia and D.C. I lost my Savannah postcards. I've searched high and low and cannot find them anywhere. I'm so organized I can't Typical me.

Whirlwind Week

I feel like it has been forever since I've been able to sit down and blog for a change. I worked all week, which was good and bad. I now realize that I am not a full time work kind of girl. I don't mean that in a bad way. Just with all my other responsibilities, I wouldn't try to work full time on purpose. Not if I don't have to.

I really missed being out in the ministry this week. Especially since it was memorial week. I felt like I was really missing out on all the fun. Oh well. I will have time to catch up this week. So much drama going on.

We were very busy at work, but Jacquie, Tabitha and I worked really well together. Some how we managed to get everything done. Not bad. I don't think there was ever a day that I felt overwhelmed or angry about the work environment. Everything was pretty smooth. Just too many barking dogs for my taste. That is when earplugs come in handy.

We had my parents and grandma over for dinner yesterday. It was so nice. Grandma gave me a quilt her grandmother gave her. It was so special. I want to get it cleaned and put it on display. Just hope the cats don't do anything special to it.LOL.

I went to get the food from Honey Baked Ham. I didn't realize that it is Easter weekend. There were 50 people waiting in line for ham. Two police officers were at the door to guard all the precious hams. Seriously people, is this necessary? I guess people take their ham seriously.

Jay and I are going to the zoo today. I haven't been in ages. Gotta get a monkey fix.
