Dah, dah, de dah dah dah...
Yeay! I have internet access again! I hope you all had a great weekend, mine was good. The move down to Austin was a bit rough. MMJ and I underbid on the size of the moving van and we had to leave behind our boxsprings for the bed, however all our stuff made it safe and sound and nearly ding free. I stopped and got a Sonic burger on my way out of Dallas- as last hurah of crap food for I'm leaving for the town of great food and will never have to eat a fast food chain again- right? (you'd think I'd know by now not to snort in the face of the consumer gods, they don't have a sense of humor but they do have a well developed sense of vengeance) as I bit in to my microwaved bit of burger, a squirt of *very* hot grease shot out and burned the left side of the roof of my mouth. Yea, it's blistered *twice* and has made eating anything a very slow painful process. sigh....
Aside from food being painful, the oven in the apartment not working- still- it's very exciting to wake up every morning and be in Austin (even more importantly- being with MMJ)
The week was full of little joys, with a few frustrations, and MMJ and I getting used to living together again. (it's wonderful to have JOT- Jim On Tap, again. I kept touching him at random - just because I could) MMJ and I went to the top of the highest peak in Austin (city limits) Mount Bonnell and got to enjoy not only a beautiful view but also a fun, twisty, turny, uphill road that went though some mighty nice areas. I can tell I will be there a lot.
It's been a whole lotta fun getting to spend so much time with our friend Jeff. With Jeff (myman#2) and Jim tag teaming "Guide" I've been to a Geeks Who Drink, a movie at the Alamo (MIBIII) and we walked the shops at Congress Saturday ("thrift" stores- my eye! but fun to browse) and yesterday we went to the park and I few my kite (more or less) and we played frisbee. I feel like I almost have my feet underneath me again and can start expanding the social circle and meeting up with other friends that we have here too.
Our apartment is north, north Austin (Scofield and Mopac for those who know where that is) and I get to see the sunrise as I drink my morning coffee on the 3rd story balcony. (it'll take a bit to get used to being up so high. I kinda side step out to my chair and sit down with the back of the chair up against the wall, as far from the edge as I can get. Not a big fan of heights.)
Please, let me know the how-abouts-of your fines selves and that of your charges!
Here's to a great week!
Jess
Hey Lovely! Glad you've made back into the arms of your man! I AM HAPPY that you are happy in Austin. One more reason for me to get down there more often. I wish you the best, as always, and hope, as always, to see you soon!! (((hugs))) --karen
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you had a blog. I had one for a long while and started another then closed that one too. I'm thinking aboutr re-opening it again as soon as I get back to where I'm able to write in it again. I won't be doing any theater this summer so I guess I have loads of time to do that.
ReplyDeleteI'm back from Las Vegas. There was 9 of us...gambling, eating, drinking...and a wedding/reception...more gambling, eating, and drinking. I flirted without shame with the waitresses. I walked away losing the huge amount of a dollar fifty but gained a few new friends. :)
It's nice to here you are there and all is well.
Karen: Can't wait to be a part of one of your visits to Austin!
ReplyDeleteKatherine: I've been slacking here big time, but hope to keep it up better now. Las Vegas sounds like it was whole bunches of fun!! :D Hooray for new friends!!
