Beach Date

Thursday, September 20th~

 Another bad night, but today was still excellent. I started it with my ladies group at church. That was great. Later Julian and I had a beach date. It was just the two of us and no time constraints so we had a nice dinner and just spent hours playing in the water. He's a water body, like me. =) I can tell the swim lessons he took this summer have helped his confidence in the water. He went out by himself a little and was nonplussed when he'd get a wave right in the face. It really was a nice relaxing afternoon and evening. I love that he's at an age to enjoy days like this too. 

 I left the camera at home as I don't want it anywhere near sand! I have a thing for Asian watercolor prawn artwork. Maybe I associate it with the amazing giant prawns I had in Thailand at the best seafood restaurant I've ever been to. Or maybe it's how armored they look. Either way, it's not a theme you find all over the place. January, in St. Augustine, I found a small vintage bowl with a pair of prawns painted on it. I got it to use as shell bowl. Then this morning I spotted this set of 6 shallow bowls at a thrift store right around the corner to Juju's school. They're the perfect size for peel and eat shrimp or steamed clams. Best of all, the elderly lady pricing things, thought these were "ugly bugs" and had them priced at $1 apiece!!! She was pretty shocked when I snatched them up the moment she set them down.

Taking One for the Team

July 31, 2012~






   Quaker Steak & Lube tonight for Jason's birthday dinner! His birthday is tomorrow, but it was easiest to do the family dinner tonight.  Jason didn't realize that Tuesdays there are all-you-can-eat wing buffet nights. He was stoked! Personally, wings are not my favorite food. I don't like having to rend meat off bones when I eat and I hate getting my hands dirty. Still, QS&L was my idea- I know how much J likes it. Sometimes you just have to take one for the team!

Welcome Home, Now Deal With It!

Monday, July 23, 2012~


Noticed this guy on my car today- kinda feeling the same way!


   And we are definitely back. Today reality hits. Drago has some serious issues with his eyes while we were gone. We still don't have functioning air conditioning in the main part of the house. The TV is broken. Then the main light in the living room blew out and we're sitting in a hot, humid, dark house. I've got 16 orders to ship. I've got 2 dinners to shop for and cook. At least I unpacked yesterday.

Running Out of Time

from July 10, 2012~

Julian says he's "so sick of black suitcases!" so I guess we better switch to the beat up red one. =p


   I feel like I have so much to do before we leave tomorrow. I guess the one thing that I'm hoping is that packing will be easier as we were just up there and I have a better idea of what we'll need. I also left a few things up there so I don't have to pack as much anyway. 

In more exciting news... Tonight Jason and I are going on a date! We've both been dying to see Moonrise Kingdom so I think we're just going to grab something quick for dinner and hit the theater. We just have to spend a little time alone with each other, it's been too long since we last did.

In sad news, my grandpa probable only has another 24-48 hours. Part of me hopes we can make it to see him one last time. But this last trip up I did get to say my goodbyes. He was mentally clearer then than he is now so I think that it was good that I did so.

Blessings

Mowing with Granpa

Mom and I continued the sorting process at the house. We did a whole closet and the linens and china cabinets. I don't think my grandmother ever thew out a card anyone gave or sent her! It's a very good reminder to me to be careful not to end up with the same habit. My "collector" nature comes to me through genes on both sides. That's a little scary!

In a little bit we'll pick up Jonathan from the airport. He drove Joy and the kids home to Texas. His plane had issues and had to land in Atlanta so he's delayed a bit. We're meeting dad for dinner while we wait.

Grandpa was pretty alert and with it today. He was mainly interested in getting back into bed for a nap, but we stalled him with some Coca Cola. 

Back home, God gave us a little blessing. Jason got a very unexpected bonus at work. We've been really tight this month so the timing is amazing.

Mother's Day Surprise

Friday, May 11, 2012~



Jason planned a Mother's Day surprise for me this evening. First he took me to my favorite Thai place, Chiang Mai. (I just so happened to have a Groupon there so that was nice too.) It's got a nice ambiance for date night conversation and the food is really good! 
After that we strolled down to The Capitol Theater (which use to be the Royalty. It's one of Clearwater's few historic buildings not taken over by the $cientology cult). Earlier Jason had purchased tickets to see Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It was a great surprise. He even thought to pick up snacks for the show.
I was pretty young when that movie came out so I hadn't seen it in the theater. Somehow it's funnier when you watch it with a bunch of strangers. There was also a guy who reminded me of the brother in Something About Mary, a special needs fellow. He was unintentionally saying the funniest things loud enough for the whole theater to hear. It was kind of awesome.
