verbicideToday started out so promising, too!
I met the bears for brunch at Cafe Flora. I think if nothing else, this proves how much I love these guys. Cafe Flora is a vegetarian restaurant. Jeff, and others, have raved about this place, and I believe them, but they must have been having an off-day. I didn't like their famous beignets (Jeff said they weren't as good as usual--and didn't really like his Mexican Polenta dish, either) and I didn't even like my spinach, leek, and asiago cheese scramble and didn't eat most of it. The meal was served with teabread with raisins, and I don't like raisins. I like the Morningstar fake-sausage-patties much better than theirs, too. The cheesy grits were good, but I'm not a bit grits person. So, not my favorite meal ever. That said, I don't regret going at all, and would go again to hang out with this group!
After brunch, I drove out to Judy's house to hang out for a bit. As we are both serious carnivores, she commiserated at the lack of meat, and we immediately went out to get a hot dog.
Meat-lust satisfied, we drove to Greenlake and joined the throngs of people enjoying the perfect weather. It was gorgeous. Blue skies, not too hot, flowers blooming! We made good time around the lake and headed to Judy's to hang out for a bit before she had to get ready for Easter dinner and I went to buy even more plants, because clearly I am obsessed. As I drove to Fred Meyer, the blue sky went away, everything went grey and it started raining cats and dogs! It was such a fast change and it's now cold and rainy, goddammit.
I still bought plants galore and some basic necessities, went to Safeway to buy some groceries, and came home to finish the gardening project. It's looking pretty good out there, and now I just want it to be summer so I can enjoy sitting out there with them!
Tonight I should:
- do laundry
- edit Jeff's chapters for work
- do the stupid condo dues/bills
- clean the fridge and get the kitchen organized for the week
- clean my bathroom
- finish tidying up the office and shred all the old documents I cleaned out of my filing cabinet
But I am so damn tired. Maybe a little tv first. The week ahead is going to be insane. Early mornings and late nights all the way through Thursday. And possibly working through lunch, too. Wah!!
Hrm, maybe will start laundry, and grab Jeff's chapters to do in front of the tv? I think I need another weekend day!
