Pride

Ate at the Rookwood last night with Sally, Elaine, George and Madeline prior to the Playhouse showing of Pride and Prejudice.
My dish was an eggplant, spaghetti squash, chickpea extravaganza. I also had two cocktails- a singapore sling and something with Bullet bourbon- I had to mix that with cola. A stunning meal. We added Dojo gelato to the mix.  

Looks good

I love to go to goodwill with my parents and putter. My dad finds me in the store to ask, "does this fit?" As he tugs on the front of the purple plaid shirt he's tried on without ducking into the dressing room. Looks good, I say as I continue puttering. Of course once he gets to the checkout and realizes he has to pay the tag price of 4.99 he decides to wait until Saturday when he will get 50% off.

First porch day

Finallyyyyyyyy
An evening spent on the porch. I checked facebook once I got home from dinner at mom's, dropping Bub at driving school and Hub left for a first fishing evening on Lake Lorelei.
Lovely...
And yet too soon I had to come inside to work on my studio desk.
I can still hear the birds sing and frogs croak.

Croak!

Yesterday we came home from lunch and paused outside because we heard frogs. Frogs. It's sounding like spring!

Time Change as Times Change

Time change, church, lunch at Red Zone, picked up the girlfriend and she's here again today.
Luckily hubs is keeping watch so I can work on my paper for class Thurs.
Cleaned off some paper work, added some new books I picked up at goodwill and thrift to my lists... generally wiled the day away in my studio while being uncomfortable with this whole teenage boy girl hanging out.

My Life Plan

Sometimes when the school day is over and Bub comes into the library he is excited and chatty and I'm trying to get my things together to leave. The other day I interrupted his diatribe and he said, "Will you stop? I'm trying to tell you my life plan!" Which, by the way, is to pay cash for his car and house. Good plan. Also that house is a one story ranch with a basement. Funny how my life plan was a two story with a basement because I grew up in a ranch!

He also said he will have 10 kids so he will always have servants. Of course this followed his father asking him to go do whatever and help a little more. 

A student came in the library and I was trying to get something done on my computer so I was half listening when he said, "Mrs. L listen. This is a Cade story you're going to need to pay attention." So I stopped and listened intently to a ten minute story of I have no idea what.

Last Sunday we took Hub's parents and grandmother to the Cincinnati Symphony. It was lovely. Beforehand we had lunch at a steakhouse and Bub ordered salmon. Salmon? And he ate it. I love that he surprises me by ordering salmon. We discussed going to PFChangs at Bub's suggestion but later found out he only likes to walk in between the horse statues really. Another thing I love about you.

At the sound of the power drill Bubs immediately hops up and goes toward the sound. Another thing I love about you.
