Aha Moment

Driving to Orlando was pleasant, with good company and not too much traffic, sunny weather and lively conversation. Finding a parking spot was fairly simple. Having an early dinner at Chico's Dirty Tacos and Tequila and enjoying a few vodka cranberries was a great time, and the people watching was nothing less than amazing. Matt & Kim? Amazing show.

Walking to our spot in line along the massive queue of teenagers was a reality check: I am getting too old for concerts. Audience observations? Either I have lost a knack for coolness or these kids had absolutely zero fashion sense. Jorts? Really? They looked like they had raided my closet in 1989. It wasn't even a good kind of interesting dorky. It was stupid and gross. And their age made me feel like an old lady. We literally saw moms dropping kids off in front of the club.

So my thoughts of potentially going to the Kings of Leon and Band of Horses show in Tampa in August have been put aside. I don't want to be reminded again of my elderly status in the world of Indie rock.

Busy Week

Lots to do this week. All the tasks sure make the time fly. The heat is bearable this week, but then, I haven't been outside a whole lot other than unloading 200 pavers from a car. THAT was sweaty, but afterwards the dinner on the European Street patio wasn't bad at all.

This morning I had a wardrobe malfunction related to one of those dickey-like bra clip camisoles, so I had to do a mid-morning shopping trip to buy a suitable replacement. Note to self: Not ALL "As Seen On TV" products are worthy of purchase.

Tonight I had dinner with the girls at III Forks, delicious quesadillas and beef croustades, not a vegetable to be seen. Oh, except for the onion rings. Not a great day for the diet, but I stayed in moderation.

Saturday I'm off to Orlando to see Matt & Kim. It should be a good time. Dinner and a couple of bar stops along Orange Ave? I think so!!

So happy tomorrow is Friday..................

Happy Memorial Day

We'll see how this goes... Keeping a blog while experiencing two years of overseas work is probably more exciting than reporting on everyday life in Jacksonville. I am willing to try so that's why I'm here.

Today was busy, but nothing too exciting. I cut the grass, did laundry, ironed, covered four chairs, and vacuumed. My parents' dog bit my funny bone after a barbecue lunch at their house.

On the agenda this week: dinner out and paver pick-up Wednesday, happy hour Thursday, and a concert in Orlando on Saturday. Sweet summer life! I will also do my best to stick to a workout every day for the next four days.
