a weekend

boy, i take one day off from reading blogs and looking at pretty pictures and you all go crazy insane. it has taken almost all day to catch up...good thing i decided to be fairly lazy today. it's been a good weekend - mostly quiet though my sister ran me ragged yesterday. we did a bit of this...

spanishmoss

and that...



(my sister is the property manager)

and then after those, we did a bit of this...

and I got that



in lemondrop, not sour apple.

we went here and there (her store, not my taste really)

we went out and about....and all around.

after...we went to see wolverine. though it's not the best movie ever...it was exactly what i expected it to be (it is based on a comic book after all). everyone was happy.










today it was sunny



then it was rainy









it was hot (well, warm) because the air conditioner broke...but now it's cool again. life is ups and downs...hope your downs lead to soft landings and your ups are as fun and as exciting as happiest moment.

So, I took my sister on a tour of great shopping and local foodie places this weekend. Well, we did have Cheesecake Factory cheesecake, but who can hold that against us? We visited tiny little places that only locals know about. And, we found a new fantasy man in the shape of the waiter at Chez Lulu's. *sigh* He was tres' beautiful. I think he earned every bit of his tip today. Plus he kept the coffee poured. A very good thing. We decided his name was Jorge. Yes....Jorge, sounds perfect.


Every Saturday this is this man that preaches on the roadside by the Wal-Mart near my apartment. I admire his dedication and he preaches from noon until sunset. I've never been able to take pictures due to the traffic. This Saturday, he has recruited a new helper. My sister and I smiled as we sat at the traffic signal. They were so happy in the sunshine.

When we got to the hotel, we had a great laugh as the Trojan bus was there. It's touring college campuses giving away condoms. What is really funny was there was a bunch of old guys at the same hotel all laughing that they were getting a delivery. *snicker* Maybe along with that viagra! But it was a funny thing. And, a hot guy was driving the bus. I bet he has the most fun time on his job.

And, before you ask - my sister and I love to hang out in a hotel room when she visits. It's no pressure and we can have all the towels we want. It's a pretty sweet deal as I have points to get free rooms. Yes, life can be very good.

Don't YOU step on my blue suede shoes

I'm sitting antsy with anticipation that my sister will be here in like, 15-20 minutes. I'm a geek. I adore my sister and she's one my best friends in the entire world. We will spend the day doing girly activities and maybe at times we will not talk at all.

And we will stuff our faces with cheesecake from the horrible place, the Cheesecake Factory. Honestly - just because the cheesecake rocks doesn't mean they can cook anything else well. My dream restaurant would have an al carte menu where I could order the steamed dumplings from Surin, honey crispy shrimp from Chang's, and a cheesecake from the Factory. Of course - those could all change on any given day.

I wonder if there's a movie that is playing this weekend??? I feel a wine buzz already.
