This and That

Friday M's band played at the art gallery mentioned in the previous post with two other bands they frequently play with. It was a fun night, although driving that distance in unfamiliar territory is somethign I could have done without. Even with my GPS, I still manage to take wrong turns. I ended up getting there as they were about to go on, luckily I made it in time. I was thinking back to those high school kids that were there and how young they looked and then I dared to wonder how old they would even think I was....were they looking around thinking how much older everyone else was than them? Yikes...don't go there....

Saturday afternoon I did some shopping because I had a 30% off coupon for Old Navy and the Gap Outlet and found this:








I have no idea what possessed me to buy a sweater with a bird on it....totally unlike me. It's far too whimsical. Actually, I blame it on the art gallery show and seeing those kids, nay, children there. It made me yearn for my youthful self...so what do you do with that? You buy a sweater with a bird on it.





Saturday night, we met some friends out for bbq....he apparently won a gift certificate somehow but has the unfortunate circumstance of being a vegetarian so he invited his carnivorous friends. It was good, but bbq is not something I would ever suggest going out for. I think I'm too much of a spice wimp. I had the buffalo shrimp which was good but waaay more spicy than I would normally order. After that, we headed out to hear our band friends play another show.





Sunday I went to the gym and was hopped up on a combination of adrenaline and caffeine and decided to clean off our back deck to put up our new wrought iron cheapo outside table and chairs. Clearly, we hadn't been out there for awhile. Coolers from the party we had last September were still out there. This weekend, for the first time in a long time, I baked. I haven't really been able to rally on that front since Christmas because I baked my brains out for three full days. But, alas, a rotting banana begs to be made into a tasty bread so there you have it. It turned out well, the last recipe I used had an odd baking soda taste, this recipe is much better.



With the rest of my time, I finally took pics of my sluggish knitting progress....For your pleasure.












In school news, I have done the only presentation required of me this semester and did fine. It's always something I dread, but luckily I do well once I'm up there. I am about 3 hours ahead of my required clinical hours at this point which is good because not this week but next, my preceptor will be gone on the day I do my clinical hours. I've decided to revert back to my normal schedule for the week operating under the assumption that I will continue to do some extra time each week and that by the end of the semester I'll have enough hours without making up that day....it will be a pure thrill to leave work at 430p a full two hours before I normally do. I'll be able to go to the gym after work! Not something I would normally be excited about, but now that I can't I of course, long to.
And per request...cat's at play, cat's at rest. Boigie lacks the little white boots....
