melaniesuzanneOur house has curb appeal. The purple peony bush is in full bloom and the white one is ready to put on a show at any moment. The star roses are also blooming and add a wonderful punch of color amidst the two boxwoods and two other shrubs. The clematis is taking a bloom break at the moment, but has just about covered the trellis. The poor gardenia is hanging in there. It's not blooming, but it's not dead either. I'm pleased as can be about how pretty the front of the house looks right now.
It's going to a cool weekend, temperature-wise, which means I have no excuse for not tidying up the craft room and getting it ready for sewing marathons. I'm sure the long black&white thing will keep me company since he considers the craft room his room. The small black thing should also keep me company since she's my furry shadow. While the organizing part of cleaning is fun, I'm most looking forward to that sense of peace which washes over me when I am in a tidy space. Aaaaaaahhh. :)

dmn4nr, his Missus, and I went out for sushi last night. Yummy food and even better company. We almost ordered the right number of rolls; H has a delicious lunch of leftovers today. They came over for a bit to meet Mr. Oreo and were amazed by his proportions. Good times, and I mean that in a positive vein for once.
Let's see, what else? Oh yes. I have joined the twenty-first century by ordering my first smart phone. I went weak-kneed while reading a review of the Droid Incredible and then scurried over to my Verizon Wireless account to see when I'm eligible to upgrade. Turns out it was two and half weeks ago. Score! And, sold! Thank goodness for online discounts and whatnot. So, my fancy-schmancy new phone which is probably smarter than I am will arrive sometime before the 21st. (Hey, I like instant gratification as much as the next GenXer, but I have NO patience for the VzW stores.) Anyway, SO EXCITED!
And last, but not necessarily least, I've decided to go to Sapphire Joust over Memorial Day weekend.pirategirleee and I are going to share my tent for the weekend. We can have our own little bedrooms in the rounded ends and move the walls around to use the section between the uprights as a breezeway and living space with chairs and table. I was on the fence about not going, but the I WANT TO CAMP urge and PG's saying that she was thinking about going pushed me over the edge. So, yay!

Date: 2010-05-07 11:03 pm (UTC)Elizabeta & I are sharing my wedge tent at Sapphire - we tried it at the Highland Games while we were 'being Vikings' and found that for a weekend, it works just fine. Of course, neither of us have garb that requires a huge amount of space, but still - it takes me back in time to have a girlfriend on the other side of the room to trade quips with while slowly falling asleep. And it means she won't have to camp in her Big Blue Nylon Tent and we both feel more comfortable about the space that the kitchen/entertaining tent was taking up in the camp.
