3月26日 Another Whirlwind!I think we tend to think that time flys and we aren't having fun most of the time. We wake up and it's October when we just finished cleaning up from our New Years Party!! We have definitely been having fun lately! We eneded up not making it to Ren-Fest on the 11th, but that was okay!!
On the 14th, the three of us went to the TCC Music Hall and attended a showing of Dr. Doolittle featuring Tommy Tune himself, which was absolutely fabulous!! He choreographed the whole show I'm told. The animal actors were quite wonderful as well. The horse was a costume with two actors in it, but the rest of the animals were either held by hands or on two sticks by two people dressed entirely in black. I'd imagine this is a common way to have animals in stage productions, but having not seen many- I don't know that. You completely forget to pay attention to the people in black, and the animals have a personality all their own!
This past Tuesday, L2 and I went to see Final Destination 3 together! I won the tickets on KLPX, and by the time we went to see it, it had already been playing for 4 or 5 weeks. We went on a Tuesday, to the Grant Road 16 Plex, and had the whole theater to ourselves!! That was cool. Our own private showing! The movie had even more gruesome deaths in it than the first two did! "Rollercoaster".. can't get it out of my head!!
Wednesday night I went to see Sherlock Holmes at The Temple of Music and Art with Nancy. Neither of us had ever been there before, and were impressed with the architecture. It is a beautiful theater. The show was very entertaining, and we were both especially fond of Moriarity's character. He was very loud and arrogant as he should have been! Before the show, we enjoyed a wonderful meal at Caruso's on Fourth Avenue. I hadn't been there before. It's a great little restaurant. Been there for generations. Isaac and Allison joined us for dinner too. Nancy, lets not let it be so long for our next encounter eh?
Thursday, L2 left for Choya and a Boys Fishing Trip. I can't wait to see those pictures!! He should be back this evening. It will be great to sleep soundly as I sure miss him when he's away!!
Friday night brought a girls night out at my house, complete with a spaghetti dinner I'm told was great. Monique, Vicki, Regina, Heather and Janice- I'm glad you all finally got to meet eachother! I've been wanting you to for quite some time! We enjoyed three rounds of Pokeno, and hope to get it on again in the near future! That cake ended up being pretty damn good didn't it!?!?!?
Saturday after Sinfonia and Orchestra pictures, L3 and I went down to Rainbow Guitar as Lawrence hadn't ever been there. Thanks for all your help Denny! (He's the guy to see if you need help with Guitars of any kind!) Lawerence played a Gibson Epiphone to a one man audience very impressed with his abilities. Then he picked up a $1600 PRS Guitar which Denny promptly plugged in to a $2300 Orange Amplifier! It was fun to see him play them, but I've advised that sort of price most likely won't ever be paid by us for him. Never say never of course! We left there and headed for Red Sky Studios on Fourth Avenue where we picked up L2's anniversary present from me, (18 years next month!!) which I can't wait to give him!! The Fourth Avenue Street Fair was in full swing, and there were TONS of people milling about! We were starving, so we headed directly for Bison Witches, where of course we had to get on a waiting list, but it was worth it. By the time we got out of there, the vendors were closing down as dusk approached so we missed out on shopping but that was probably a good thing!
Today, I'm taking Lawrence and his girlfriend Jessica to the movies. I'm of course, dropping them off. It wouldn't be cool to have your Mom go with you on your first date!
 Lovin' Life! 3月20日 Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh!I was afraid that our tradition of poker was not going to be realized this year. The Wandrin' One has been a busy boy these last several days. A party on Friday and again on Sunday, with multiple appointments on Saturday in between made for a "catch you in the hallway" kind of weekend for us! L2's Tat Party on Friday ended a bit sooner than he'd expected, so we got to stop in and say HELLO AL AND KAREN!! SKIP AND LORI!! THE MULTITUDES!! We only stayed for about 5 minutes.. not even long enough to have a Coke and A Smile! (Though Pua is sadly no longer waitressing, so we may not have gotten one had we ordered it!) - Great to see you and your kick ass nail job too by the way!! Our best wishes and thanks for all the times you remembered what we wanted when we forgot! L2 and L3 ordered then picked up Domino's Wings on the way home. I went home and called Patti (Hey Girl!) to tell her about all the old faces I seen and heard about that evening. After our wings were recooked as they should be on the grill, (about 11:00pm!) Gerard and Monique came over for a beverage, and YAY McINTYRES! The tradition stays alive!! Didn't we play together last year as well?? In any case, I did a good job of losing my dollars, but L2 did a great job of winning it from all three of us!! Miss Monique now... I just put my cards down and you'll tell me if I won... That's not going to work for much longer Miss Ma'am- you better watch it!! Thanks for the game and great time!
 St. Patricks Day Blessings Upon You!! 2月26日 What a Great Day!Indeed it were.
 We had planned for an early morning garage sale but woke up at 8:30 and decided it just wasn't the right day to do that. Laziness ensued. For me anyway. I found my Dad online and we got our first chance to chat for what seems a really long time! At least a couple of fortnights! Is that a month? In any case, it was great to chat. Afterwards, I spent most of the morning screen shopping. "Monsoon/Accessorize" in the UK, got me off on necklaces, then I found the most kickass dragonfly necklace at www.Forzieri.com made by Zoppini. If anyone is looking for just the right gift... That then took me to ebay where I admired MANY dragonfly necklaces, and found a store called HolyClothing, where I bought a burgundy top to wear with my new boots from RenFest. Afternoon rolled around and I fixed tacos for dinner. Robert and Vickie joined us, as did Carey. Great dinner conversation evolved, and a rousing edition of The Newlywed Game followed. This ended with THE MCINTYRE'S victorious. Robert and Vickie brought a chocolate pie from Marie Callendars which we had for dessert over more great conversation!
Thanks Guys! Vickie, don't forgot to get on that Jamaica research. Lets see about lay-a-way!
So I'm off to bed now. Actually, I'm planning on falling asleep in the living room watching The Mummy II.
 2月22日 Ren-FestHUZZAH!
God I love that place! Saturday the 18th marked our second visit to the Faire this year, and we plan on returning 03/11/06. Our first visit was opening weekend wherein we secured a pirates outfit for both Lawrence III and myself. He has a scabbard that I carried a bit whilst he was otherwise unable to, and find myself wanting one as well. Much Merlot was consumed by me on both trips, and we got to see a Pan. Very cool. See the photo album for details, though admittedly the picture didn't really do him justice. Our first trip was just the three of us, and the second included us, the De Vroeg's, the Wardens, and Mr Knapp with his Momma Jan. Very wonderful.
 1月28日 EvitaVicki and Robert,
Happy Birthday Miss Ma'am! Remember, bow to THE QUEEN! I hope your day has been nothing but roses and O-faces! Thankyou so much for last night! It was most awesome. I would not have experienced EVITA if you hadn't instigated it! The morning of.. it was 'Day Eight' of the remodel..... I was so not into going out. (It's amazing how much time 'not getting anything done' takes!) Staying up until 1:00-2:00 in the morning and getting up at 6:30 can really wear on a person, as you can imagine! I should have gotten more sleep, but I have to admit, that even being sleep deprived, I thoroughly enjoyed the show! I was, admittedly, a bit sleepy at the intermission, but the capaccino really helped!
Thanks Robert!
 I must admit that I was bit unseated with regards to your impending move. I wish you two all the best, but will miss my "friend-who-thinks-uncharacteristically-like-I-do". I've really enjoyed getting to know the two of you on a personal level. You are a kindrid spirit who believes ask not unto others..... In any case, EVITA was quite a show. I graciously thank you for the experience. Wicked in Houston sounds awesome! My favorite character was definitely the general guy. (Antonio in the movie) Always had texture on my arms when he was singing. I'll have to check out the Madonna movie now. So you guys enjoy the rest of your weekend, and we'll see you for Must Love Dogs with the new speakers and wood floor!
I love you man!
 Laura 1月22日 Poker With The LadiesLadies, how great to see you last night.
Janis- great enchilada's and I love your new place! Thanks for recipe.
Heather- Thanks for driving! (And for getting us out of not being lost at Circle K) OH YEAH... And for winning the money that Janis didn't!
Connie- Absolutely WONDERFUL to see you out and about. You work on that bluffing thing. Good luck the next time you play for clothing with Dan!
Lets try and do this again in the very NEAR future! In fact, I believe that I'll volunteer to cook for the next one!
 12月18日 Just for Happy Hour?So Val, and Joi... Just happy hour eh?
I must admit it was a blast, We must do it again soon! It's a damn good thing we (Joi and I anyway) ate while we were at TCB! And how lame was Fox and Hound? I wonder if the "bartender" at The Leopard Lounge is still scratching her head about that tip!?! I did enjoy that Grease music at The Keys! Sorry to hear about what was left in your wallet too by the way Val.
 I will remember what you said, and try to be more aware foryou next time! I think I may just actually drag you away instead!
I ended up at Abners when I left you, had four more, then we had some friends over after close. This meant that I was not well all day yesterday! I spent the whole damn day in town too, for my sins.
 In any case, Thanks again ladies!
You Rock! 12月12日 Trans-Siberian OrchestraWe went to this spectacular Christmas Concert last night at the TCC. It will definitely be a tradition for as long as they continue to play Tucson. The laser lights, the pyrotechs, the music, the feeling... it was awesome. There was an electric violin player from London, and she ROCKED THE HOUSE! Of course, they all did, but she was definitely a highlight! The show lasted about two and a half hours, which was quite a bit longer than I thought it would. L3 added to his growing collection of concert tees, and bought the sheet music for "Christmas Eve and Other Stories" as well. We were told that the pyro stuff was new this year.. Can't wait to see what happens next year!! |
