We took the dog and ambled over to Johnny Carson park to the Kiwanis Car Show before it got too warm. Some gorgeous cars of all eras, nice peeps, and an amiable and enthusiastic band of older guys playing 60s tunes. It's a very small town thing, literally in the shadow of huge TV studios. I hit up the craft booths and found the lady who makes jewelry out of vintage beads. Got a bracelet and two pair of earrings for $20!

Now I am home, we have the Yankees game on and I just had some dry salami and wheat thins. Everything would be perfect, except for the fact that I have a migraine. Feh. I have medicated and hope to feel more the thing shortly.

We just went out to lunch and ran into a town full of people there for a car show. I guess it's the weekend for it. Weird to see the parking lots and sidewalks all full.

Robin, feel better!

Our pastor's wife introduced me to another single girl at church this morning. She's been trying to introduce us for months, but it just hasn't happened yet. Well, now E (the pastor's wife), our parents, and S (the girl) are trying to get us to go to this Singles Weekend Getaway at the end of May. I just looked up the website. The topic for the nice, long weekend? Love, Sex, and Lasting Relationships. Um. No. I don't need four days of that.

On the other hand, I have nothing planned that weekend, and I have no idea how I'm going to get out of it.

How about a nice, direct "I would rather pluck out my own eyeballs and eat them on a Triscuit than go to this weekend."

I tried a nice, indirect, "Could they be any more predictable in their topic for a singles weekend? It's positively eye-rolly." To which mom replied, "Well, then go for the fellowship."

I wish I'd read Erin's response first.

Can you get out of it by saying right now you aren't interested in a weekend long series on Love, Sex, and Lasting Relationships but if they have another weekend with a different topic you'd be more interested in going?

Eh. I'll figure it out. I'm extra cranky today (thank you, steroids!), so I'll think about it more seriously when the crank monster has left the building.

Weekend full of lectures on Love, Sex, and Lasting Relationships?

How about: "Mom, Dad, E, unless they can guarantee me 2 and 3 at the end of the retreat, I don't want to hear any more about 1."

Hee, Andi.

ION, I'm at work, heading home to Windsparrow.

And I thought seeing a cinder block just off the driving lane yesterday was scary to contemplate. Hoo boy.

rollergirls. huge fun. totally lines out the door. and the base for the band (really long lines - couldn't get in in time - grr.) was completely audible outside and badass. Signed us up for Secret Crush mailing list, so now we can be like fans.

It was excellent to see buffistas in person and wave hullo. and sparky and her {possibly? impostor? yes -- waffles - we like!} DH met us for pizza first - it was an all around sweet afternoon/evening.
