Texas Blue Lime Productions

I haven’t had a weekend that was just for me in a very long time….every single one has been a wedding or an event or a project or a shoot or work or something….for longer than I can remember back.

So, when this weekend thrust itself up on me with no real tasks/projects at hand, I took full advantage.

Friday:

Went out with our FDC group. We started out with dinner at La Bodega and then moved on to drinks at Fitzwilly’s and O’Bannons. After Emil and I left, the group moved to Dudleys and “closed” Northgate. Emil had just discovered BitStrips earlier in the week, so there was much conversation about all his cartooning of our little group. What a fun night!

Saturday:

I slept in until 11:30 and then met with Mike & Tom to trade party platters and other GAYla equipment. It was such a pretty day and I felt like being outside, so Jes and I teamed up for some recycling and then yard work. I started mowing the yards while she weed-eeded and trimmed things. We ordered pizza, and then Emil and I watched three, yes THREE movies: Rush Hour 3 (very funny), Bourne Ultimatum (very good/exciting), and We Own the Night (horrible title, good movie).

Sunday:

I still felt like being outside, so I did more yard work, walked with Jes and Buddy & Sam (whose Cajun names a Beaudreaux and Sambeaux), helped her bathe them, and worked on the path between our houses. I also righted her mail box (someone hit it a couple of weeks ago) and picked up some of the rocks I had tossed out of the yard the day before. Emil and I went to Schotzi’s for my weekly Crawfish Pilgrimage^TM. Later, Cady came over for some good friend/quality time.

It was an amazing weekend of doing a bunch of nothing. While my initial reaction is “ooooh when can I do THAT again?” I know myself better than that. If every weekend was this uneventful, I’d be bored out of my MIND!
