I just realized that it is almost July. Where has the time gone? What have I been doing??

* Saturday was a quiet day. I didn't even go outside the house. Scratch that, I went out to have an acupuncture treatment. The rest of the day was watching movies, playing computer games and reading. I needed the rest and I got some.
* Sunday was a great day. It was filled with Friends, food, drink, laughter and of course Music. We started the morning/early afternoon out at the Marigny Brasserie to see the Pfister Sisters perform their last brunch of the summer. Kind of a goodbye party. See the lovely ladies are in fact, today winging their way over to Ascona for the Jazz Festival there. After Ascona they are heading to Berlin for about 6 weeks to take part in a cabaret show that has been put together especially for them. How amazingly cool is that?? We sat in the bar area, drinking different kind of Mojitos, (blackberry and watermelon for me) and enjoying the day. I got the chance to say goodbye to the boys that I babysit since they are going with their mother overseas. After a quick flurry of goodbyes, a few of us went in search of food. Long lines and closed restaurants didn't deter us. We found a great place and had a fantastic meal. With more mojitos. I can't remember the name, not because of the alcohol but just because, well I wasn't paying attention to the name. It is a Mexican restaurant on the backside of Decatur. The outdoor part of the French Market is at its doorstep. After stuffing ourselves we all made our way home, everyone planning on spending their evening resting. All but myself that is. I went home and changed from the blister inducing shoes to more comfy ones and then was out the door. I went to Matty and Sherrilynn's where I marveled at the siding work they have been doing on their own. Pretty soon an old friend from back in the day showed up with his wife. There is a long funny story about how I know Matty and Sherrilynn, which one day I will share. In the end we know some of the same people from back in jr. high and high school, we were all in California at the time. So we sat in the back yard drinking wine and talking about the old days. I think Nikki really wants to move to New Orleans and we may have convinced Dave as well. More food was consumed at Sake Cafe, a few more drinks at the Balcony Bar were had before we called it a night.
*I knew I had some plans for Monday night, although I wasn't sure. See Debbie had told me to keep the 23rd free the last time I was babysitting. She promised we were going to do something really fun. That didn't involve me babysitting. It would be a thank you for all the babysitting and one more hurrah before she jetting across the Atlantic. So when she called on Monday morning and told me she had tickets to go see Eddie Izzard, I was beyond happy. The only downside was she wasn't going to be able to go as she had so much still to do before leaving. I was sad she wasn't going to get to enjoy the wonderful Eddie Izzard, but it was so exciting to get to go. My friend, the Queen of Oak went with me. Even though the room was stifling hot (especially after a bike ride over) we managed to laugh our asses off. It was exactly what I needed.
*Yesterday there was a potential that Dave and Nikki would be coming down to see Rebirth at the Maple Leaf, and well I couldn't let them see my very messy house. So I tackled that, I even scrubbed the floorboards in some of the rooms. Then I found out they weren't coming. Which was fine, I was exhausted in my freshly cleaned house.
*I need to figure out what to do with my Wednesday's now that the concert series is over.
