Yesterday was nice. The BBQ was really cool - their new grill is a massive thing - and they had some great food as always. After we ate, we ran out to the park to catch the last show of Romeo & Juliet at the annual Shakespeare in the Park festival. It was a really neat thing. It's on a park, out on the water, and everyone brings blankets and you picnic and drink, and just have a good time until the show starts. They were really smart about it, they had the people who brought chairs sit behind the people who had only blankets so that everyone could see. Even though it was general seating, we ended up right in the middle and had a pretty good view of the stage. The performace was actually not bad (though we all thought Romeo was only so-so) and overall, it was a heck of a lot of fun. We met up with some friends at about 6:15, got there at about 6:45 and the show started at 8pm. It was pretty late (for a Sunday) when we got home at almost 11:30pm, but it was still something I'd like to do again.
I put some Mother's Day photos up if you're interested.
Got up today and my Love wasn't feeling well. He called off and got some extra rest. So we ran over to the store to pick up a few food items late in the afternoon - we had nothing in the way of food in the house - and when we got back, I made some yummy grilled cheese sandwhiches. Think we're going to make some spaghetti soon for a late(r) dinner and watch a little tv. Nothing too terribly exciting.
Mika's officially a weirdo. She's a hyper cat. *lol* I have decided that her full name will be "Mika Underfoot" because that's where she is. I don't think I've ever tripped over a cat more then her. I also have decided that she's much like Stitch from Lilo & Stitch because much like Lilo, I find myself always saying, "No!" to her. (the scene where Lilo brings Stitch home and he's tearing up her room and she's all, "no! No...No! No, that's from my blue period!" is exactly how Mika gets when she's hyper. And she's hyper a lot.) She's more puppy - she bites everything, even attacking my hair sometimes - then cat, but she's still a sweetie. Just so different then Kush that sometimes it's hard. I got used to knowing what to expect from him, but with her....sheesh, it's always something new.
My sister apparently got a dog from the Humane Society the other day. My mom's bringing her down for a checkup at Petsmart like I did for free tomorrow, so she's going to stop by and let me met her. Name's Peanut, but as she's a mixed dog, I don't know much about her then that. I might try to take a pic for my sister with the digital camera. If I do, I'll post one to show her off. I hope she does better with a dog then she did the puppy she got a few years ago. The puppy proved too much for her and she ended up returning her to the breeder. I can't imagine how she can have four indoor kitties and a dog now, but hey, more power to her if she can manage it. =D (at least she's not the "crazy cat lady" anymore - now she has cats AND a dog!)
Going to hang out with my family on Thursday for my birthday. We already decided to go out to the park not far from here on the lake and have some sandwhiches and cake like we did at my sister's birthday last month. Should be nice. I have no idea what we're going to do my Love and I for my birthday and I certainly don't know what we're going to do about the registration since it expires on my birthday and we're driving illegal right now since our insurance ended and we haven't gotten a new policy. (Which you need proof of before you can get your registration). What doesn't help is apparently the State of Florida is doing a seat-belt crack down from May 19th - June 1st. Because they can't stop you just for seat belts on it's own, they're going to be stopping people for everything else and then giving you a ticket if you're not wearing your seat belt. We need to replace our tail lights (they burnt out) and turn signals (ditto) and hope they don't run the plate for anything. The tags here in FL just say the month and year (05/03) so generally, you can get away through the end of the month even if technically it expires on your birthday. But if they run the plate, they can see the date and then when they ask for insurance, we'd be screwed. That's like a "suspend your license" kinda offense. It's criminal. Ugh.
Anyway.... babbling at this point. Hope all the mothers out there had a lovely mother's day and everyone's well.
