The Sunday Salon: The Grouch is In

20 Comments

Sunday Salon

This will be short as I am in a terrible mood this weekend. So terrible, that I don’t want to taint anyone’s good vibe with it so I will just make light of it.

It’s 106 degrees and I had to run errands. Errands are usually not fun anyway, but doing them when it’s 106 outside and you are already grouchy, is really a recipe for disaster. Really.

Don’t shop hungry. I skipped breakfast and had a triple shot Iced Espresso and then went to the market. I bought the entire store and then forgot that my second fridge is on the fritz. This meant that I had to cook everything and then put stuff in the freezer for the week. I was not planning on cooking my entire afternoon away so this was not good.

During this cooking frenzy, the Boy, Girl and Hub all asked for a sandwich. Wha?? Do you not see what I have going on here??

The power keeps going out.

In a perfect world, I would escape to my room and read Annabel but it’s not a perfect world so I will be packing school bags for tomorrow.

Later, we are supposed to go to a friend’s for swimming and relaxation. I sure hope the relaxation happens. I need it bad. Especially since the university starts classes tomorrow which translates to busy, busy, busy.

Hope all of you on the East coast are doing okay. I have been tracking you all via Facebook and so far, I think most of you are doing well.

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.
