Hopefully all my readers had a good weekend. Friday we had a
birthday party for Kathbert, whose birthday was actually last Monday. Luxuli
and her husband, Catzooks and her boyfriend, and I converged upon Richard
Bonomo’s house for ravioli, red wine, salad, chocolate cake, and apple pie
bread. Catzooks and her boyfriend gave Kathbert a six-pack of Fatty Boombalatty
beer, which is becoming a tradition for them. Luxuli had found an abandoned and
severely trimmed hibiscus on the curb, but we couldn’t find a pot large enough
for it, so right now the root ball is wrapped in a garbage bag and then set in
a cardboard box. Not the most ideal of situations…
Saturday Travalon had to work, so I hung out with the Rosary
Ladies. Jilly Moose, Luxuli, and I met for coffee with some other people, then
we helped plant tulip bulbs up at the Stations of the Cross where the cathedral
used to be, and then Jilly Moose and I had a light lunch because in the evening
we all got together with OK Cap for dinner. I had a 20% off coupon for the
whole table, so I kind of splurged and had a petite steak with lobster on it.
(Sorry to my vegetarian readership! I do like a medium rare steak now and
then.) Then I had a chocolate Guinness shake for dessert. Luxuli was so
impressed with it that she tried her hand at making some the next day, and they
were even better than the restaurant’s!
Yesterday I overslept and missed my usual Mass but
ironically did go to the Lutheran church for Reformation, although I got there
late and missed two of the three pieces the choir sang. Since I was having so
much trouble getting going, I had not one but two cups of Reformation Roast
there. Then Travalon came up and said he would like to see the bubbling springs
at Pheasant Branch which I had posted a video of on YouTube, so we went for a
hike there. It was such a beautiful day; I wouldn’t mind autumn so much if it
were always like yesterday afternoon. Then we went to a newish bar on State
Street called 608 because they advertised banana Nutella wontons, which really
are just as good as they sound. We went to 5 pm Mass and then had some coffee
at our usual coffee place, Espresso Royale, so then I was really wired. We went
to Rich’s house to watch the Packers demolish the Vikings, and everyone was
much amused by me since I was so animated. I even got exercise during the game,
because I kept jumping up and down while hollering at the TV. Travalon said he
liked seeing me so wired, but it wasn’t such good news when I tried to go to
sleep! Yet somehow today I am not too tired – maybe I am still a little wired?
I did have my usual two cups of coffee this morning.
