my first blog, i'll start with my weekend awhile back, drafted from my diary...
Friday: met up with my lindy hop dancing friends at a cool venue in a historical building downtown - had a glass of red wine at home before I went out, danced hard - home at 11:30pm felt so good be home early.
Woke up Saturday morning with both cats curled up with me, it was a crisp cool morning, and the first in a long time - felt so good knowing I was free for the day (no work; no obligations) and had the entire day to myself. I started out at the vet to pick up cat food, then off to the hardware store for lawn bags and some wood for a photo/art project I'm working on - they guy at the hardware story was very generous to cut my wood into squares for me. Then off to a vintage clothing store to see if there were any interesting clothes or accessories to wear to the 1940's dance I'm going to tonight - nothing found. Went to the most tasty/mouthwatering crepe place- voted "best crepes this side of france" and they are amazing!!! They sell them out of one those old airstreamer trailers, covered with christmas lights and chinese lanterns ( I LOVE christmas lights and chinese lanterns - i use them inside and out year round - the glow they give off is surreal) - scattered with little tables and chairs in a grass/rock lot - it was so popular - a 45 minute wait for my crepe, a great opportunity to sit outside and enjoy the great weather. A butterfly landed on my 12" by 6 " in table and I watched it's tongue curl out and in several times, must have been something tasty on the table, then it flew over and landed on my leg. Later a bee landed on my watch face and crawled around in circles for a bit, then began to tuck his head under my watch to crawl BETWEEN MY WATCH AND ARM, yowsa! Just as I was about to try to unlatch my watch without disturbing him - he flew off - whew! (why are bee's "he's" and butterflies "she's"?). My crepe was mouth watering and found myself planning my next outing to here - which friend would want to check this out? what would we order? we could each get a meal crepe and split a sweet crepe. Their hours are limited and I found myself trying to memorize the odd hours they were open - saturdays 9-3 and 6-9? sundays - closed :(. weekdays - lunch only?
i decide i'll wear a vintagesque skirt i have to the dance and head to small town 30 minutes away at an airport hangar the dance is a fundraiser to restore a historic airplane - my dancing friends and i will probably be the youngest ones there,.. or the only ones there..
