I swear it’s like there is no shortage of fun things to do in this city. I think I mentioned just this weekend it is White Linen night, and Satchmo Fest, and I had two party invites for tonight alone. So I decided to blow it all off tonight. I was lying on my couch with Loca and Arlene near me and thought about all the traveling I was going to be doing over the…
Last night after the walk, I got home and B called to come meet her and K and have a salad al fresco. When I got there they were sitting a few tables down from a rowdy group of about 8 couples. While we were eating our salad, the rowdiness kicked up a few notches and the next thing I knew the man towards the end of the table had his girlfriend’s hair in his…
Last night we all walked to show our strength in numbers in the hood and that we are not going to tolerate crime in our neighborhood. Loca came with me because Arlene couldn’t do that long a walk – you can see her in the slideshow (I’m wearing a brown skirt and cowboy boots). Fox News was there.
Stealing Magnolias This is by a guy name Bryan Donovan – he is an actor/comedian – and it’s funny.
I received some very nice wine and champagne as house warming gifts – there were several other interesting and fun gifts – CD compilations from L and L, M&V brought a fresh baked loaf of bread they made, someone brought a pineapple with flowers tucked in the leaves, GG brought a pot of succulents with jade in the middle (good luck), and another person brought lucky bamboo. Aren’t those all wonderful gifts for a house…
The Satchmo Fest is this weekend – see we haven’t had a festival in what? a week? So we’re desperate for one. The Satchmo Fest is a celebration of Louis Armstrong and his music. It starts today and goes through Sunday. Of course, sandwiched in is White Linen night – where all the galleries open up their doors and the largest block(s) party goes down. Sunday, Anne is cooking at Bacchanal. It’s just the usual…
There is an organized walk tonight to take back the streets – it’s a show of solidarity that we are here and we aren’t going to take it anymore. The group is meeting at Orleans and Moss at 7PM and walking to Stallings Park.
A friend rode her bike by the house as I was weeding the garden this evening and she stopped to talk about her relationship woes. The more I listened the more I realized what it must be like to be in a relationship with me because the characteristics she was describing of her partner are so similar to mine. Let’s call it uber intensity. Now the friend I was speaking with is laid back and…
Late yesterday afternoon, I picked up Jake and he was practically leaping off the sidewalk, he was so excited to see me. I missed him having traveled into last week along with being busy with photo shoot and party prep not to mention that four letter word – WORK. The camp counselor said that last Tuesday he thought he saw my truck and almost refused to get in T’s car. Anyway, we headed to the…
