Dan Hicks and his Hot licks-How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away

Happy birthday to youtube!

Well I made it through valentine's day, a date, two days in sanctuary and a trip of a three day weekend. Its 11:34 PM on a workday eve... and I am just now getting home and settled in. Yikes!

Let me say this... the date with S went well.  I had a good time.  Nice diner out.  We watched a couple of old movies and we had a lot in common so we had good conversation. We will see how it goes.

Then I was off to sanctuary for a couple of days.  S was kind enough to drive me to the bus station.  Very strange sort of thing to kiss one fella good bye as you get on a bus and then kiss a different one hello when you get off it.  But hey... it was Valentine's Day.  One I won't forget.  Too funny!

I had a great time there.  We mostly did everyday things. We helped his daughter move a sofa and a love seat.  I met his youngest son, who I have not met before and we all went out for lunch. They gave me so much food, that it was lunch, diner and tonight's diner too. 

We hung out at home that evening and ate the leftovers, so no one had to cook. A nice relaxing evening.  Watched some Dr.Who episodes.  I think I yakked his head off.

Today I was up at the crack of dawn... no, way before dawn.  The diet I'm on makes me very hyper and I do not sleep a lot.  I have more energy than I know what to do with... so I entertained myself until DH got up.  His mom and step-dad stopped by to take us out for lunch.  His mom and I have become friends. I think the world of her and her husband.  Shoot of the whole family.


When we got "home" we yakked some more, then he worked on his truck while I attacked some blackberry vines in his yard.  It was a war of sorts.  The blackberries got first blood... and well, all the blood... but I won the battle.  I made great progress, but the war will continue another time.  I love to do yard work but have no yard worth working on at home.  (Mine is tiny, in the shade and anything you put in it becomes property of the park.) He came out after he finished doing his thing on the truck and worked too until I pooped out.

The rest of the day and early evening we spent chilling until it was time for me to get on that bus.  Strange episode number two... kiss one fella as I get on the bus, kiss the other one when I get off the bus.  S was waiting and drove me home.  That was very nice, since he had to be up and off to the coast early in the morning. Not to mention it was about a 3 hour round trip for him. We'll see if he decides I am more trouble than I am worth.

Max was here, crashed on the sofa.  So no empty house.  The dog managed to tangle himself around a tree.  Out I went in the rain and wind to untangle him in the dark.  I fed Zitto and thought, yep... I am home alright.

What fun things did you do this weekend?
