Get the Weekend Going....

I need to peel myself off the couch and do some grocery shopping. Not being lazy, just had a LONG day yesterday and a very late night. Still, somehow, I managed to get up at 6:30 am this morning. So that makes, what, 4, almost 5 hours of sleep? I don't think I'm tired but I see little floaty spots in my field of vision. Hm, nothing a little hot tea can't fix. That, and an onion bagel with cream cheese.

I completely skipped out on City Place last night. There are just certain things that don't appeal to me- at all. A toga party at Taverna was not on my list of places to be. That CanCan place was pretty interesting though. Heard all the rave reviews and wouldn't you know, we passed by it, twice (on the way in and on the way out) and I still didn't notice it! City Place has become the home of the 'restaurant of the week'. So I found out later, that the new CanCan place is in the space of an older restaurant that I remembered. I had no idea that that was it. Didn't care much for the theme but anywhere that I can eat outside is alright w/me. And CheeseCake Factory....don't get me started on that. Never have I been to a restaurant and actually noticed that there was a new chef in the house. The food tasted totally different than what I remembered from just a few months ago. Order the same thing every time and it completely tasted different. Ick. I am definitely not a complainer but I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed that it was NOT the same.

Ok so next week- if my NY visitors stop by on the way to Miami, I'll have to have T.D. show them around. He seems to know who's in business, who's going out of business- good info to know before going out for the night! If they don't, then we'll just do a movie or something.

Anyway, I didn't start my painting project- looks like the fam is coming over Monday and then having friends stop by next weekend. Don't really feel like setting things up and then having to put everything away again. Painting project halted until further notice.

The weather's great today! Might start planting today (or Sunday). Need to get some flowers out. I'm having this strange issue with soil fungus. I just don't trust any of the nurseries here. Landscaping at Wal-Mart? What a joke. Lowe's was not any better. This makes the second bag of fertilizer I had to throw out. I really must not have a green thumb. I don't know how Poppy does it. Anyway, I'll try again, with a smaller bag. I haven't tried Target yet but we'll see. If my plants get all diseased and hairy this time around, then I'm giving up on live plants. I'll get fake ones.
