Friday night was "Men of Taste" which made me laugh alot. "Fuck you cancer."

Saturday was busy. I got up fairly early for a Saturday for the Minnesota Opera Garage Sale. First I went and got cash. Then I went to the garage sale. Lots of cool things, weird things. And a vintage dress that will work for KMK so I picked it up.
Next up, the costume cage at the high school. On the way out, I stopped at Target for necessities. And a liquor store for [livejournal.com profile] ethel's party later that night.
The kids have cleaned up and organized the costume cage since "Guys and Dolls", thank god. So, I spent about 45 minutes in there pulling possibilities. Then I ran into the orchestra conductor and we chatted and planned.
Other things to accomplish on this day: visit with [livejournal.com profile] moneygod in the hospital, shop at Saver's for more costume pieces (and fun stuff for me), drop by [livejournal.com profile] djnoise's for nefarious DDR purposes.
The Noise Stop never worked out (stupid cellphone not giving me messages until hours later). But I got in two hours of quality gossip and catch-up time with moneygod and squishy. And an hour at Saver's that accomplished alot too.

I did get home later than I'd hoped for, but a very productive day! Except when I got home, there was a notice from my bank about bounced charges. WTF?? And only on Wednesday. Apparently, by Thursday there was enough money in there even though I hadn't deposited anything?? And US Bank's bounce fees are outrageous. I've just about had it with these bozos. Wait - I have had it with them. I'm switching to Wells Fargo for a while and see if I like that better.

A little late to Ethel's for dinner, and I didn't get a chance to dress fun like I'd hoped. But at least I had managed to get rid of the snarlies by the time we arrived. Dinner was numalicious. And the place so attractive!! It's become so urban chic. And I finally got my first Ethel dinner party - moussaka! MOUSSAKA!! And bread (and butter). And nummy apple desserts. I was bloated with food by the end.

And the party was fabulous fun. I had a delightful time, and Monte drove me home. I was sleepy.

I need to get in to the chiro because I spent most of Sunday/yesterday with a headache. I'm sure the alcohol and dehydration didn't help, but I can feel how out of alignment I am. Monte and I slept in a bit and snuggled and chatted, and eventually got up and around. He folded laundry and watched The Iron Giant. I snacked on brunchables and watched The Iron Giant. And then we went for a lovely walk over to the river and back. We saw lovely houses. And puppies. And kids playing. A gorgeous day for a walk. And we talked about plans and ideas. Home and ice cream. And then we got ready to go out to Movie Night. Where we chatted, and held the burrito known as Squishy. And ate loads of good food.

I did not have my phone with me or on all of Sunday. I just needed to be unavailable for a day. I was a nice break, and I'm feeling much more refocused and energized. Or I would if I hadn't been up til 1am reading. Silly Windy.
