The Sunday Salon: Long Live Disco

The Girl at Concerts in the Park

It’s been a busy and full weekend, but a fun weekend at that. On Saturday we hit a concert in the park (1st time, although they have them every summer) and it was so much fun! We’ve never gone before because we are not “crowd” types. I hate crowds and screaming kids. But, it was Boogie Nights and with all the disco pumping out of those speakers, I didn’t notice the people so much.

The only hard part was getting around. I did something to the heel on my foot, which made walking excruciatingly painful. I think it was from lugging around my work laptop (ancient and heavy) all this week. So, there wasn’t any dancing coming from me, but it was still fun. God, I love disco.

The Boy at Lunch

Today we hit an aquarium that we’ve never been to before. The Cabrillo Marine Aquarium is (in my opinion), so much better than the other one near us that is so overly hyped. Small exhibits, but a lot of them hands-on. Plus, it’s located within a tiny coastal park. It was lovely.

After that we hit a popular Mexican joint for lunch. We had a view of the harbor and the food was great. Sizzling fajitas and shrimp enchiladas. Very tasty.

The Sunday Salon

Somewhere in between all this fun, I managed to catch a cold. I never even felt it coming, but it’s hit me full force and I am about to call it a night. I have about ten more pages of Domestic Violets to read before I finish it, so I am going to curl-up with it and top it off with some Nyquil.

Hope you all had a great weekend.

It’s Friday so I am going to gush a little…

It’s been a trying week for me. I had to cover for someone here at work and although most of the past two weeks went okay, petty frustrations got the best of me yesterday and I turned into a snarling, not-so-fun-to-be-around shrew. I think the shrew has left the building and in part, it had a lot to do with two packages that showed up at my door last night:

The Leftovers

The Art of Fielding

I’ll share how it went down…

In walked The Shrew (me, crabby, hot and tired and looking like something the dog dragged in).

Me seeing those lovingly wrapped packages. Eyes light up. Hair suddenly looks better. I stand a little bit straighter.

Me opening packages. Smile spreads from ear to ear. Life is good. The evening is saved.

Click on each cover for more info. I cannot wait to begin these! Oh, and I will be giving away a copy of The Leftovers soon!
