Monday again...

Yeah here i sit, so broken hearted.. oh wait a minute, that is something else...
Well this past weekend was one for the books.. book of nothing.. because i did nothing, went no where and it was good.
Widespread Panic was in Raleigh on Friday and Saturday and i had a few friends that were at the shows. Being a two hour time difference, it was great to start watching the set lists coming up on Panic stream starting at like 5:30. My boyfriend and I settled in to the sofa, had the baseball game on the TV (that would be rockies and dodgers) and the panic show set lists coming up on the computer and some texts to my phone and listened to iTunes all evening.. what a great Friday night, until we realized we could do it all again Saturday night. so instead of going to the bar opening that we were going to go to, we watched baseball and listened to some panic.. it was great!!!
Sunday i wake up and start the normal weekend morning, get the paper, let the dogs out, let the dogs in, feed the dogs, refill my water glass and with that my boyfriend asked me if i wanted to go to this AWESOME fish house for their Sunday brunch... See this brunch has crab legs ( and you know I am a sucker for crab legs), shrimp, muscles, salmon, fish and chips, seafood lasagna, waffle station, omelet station, muffins etc.. it is a great display of food.. well it is pretty spendy so the only other time we went was when his folks came to visit and we made them take us there for a Sunday buffet.. so i was flabbergasted when he asked if i wanted to go.. I said HELL to the YEAH...if you are seeing the bribe already, then you are WAY better than me, because it took me about half way though my set of crab legs before i realized it was towards the end of the month, which means we will have stacks of magazines that need to be delivered appearing on our front porch any day now.. So, he got me.. I am officially bribed and have to help with the magazines this week... UGH!!! And this weeks is crazy with other stuff going on, which we hardly ever have going on these days.. But tonight is a reception for the stick art guy that has made some stick art at a local park. The invite says food and drink, so I will be there.. Then tomorrow i think the magazines will be delivered, and then wednesday we have tickets to see ROGER WATERS... yeah, the Pink Floyd dude. He is playing the Pepsi Center and we couldnt pass up this opertunity. It says he will do the entire Dark Side of the Moon.. are you kidding me??? anyway, no delivery then and then i have my softball game on Thursday.. so, maybe we will get it done Tuesday night or Friday night..
well I better go check on snack time, and see what we got.. sometimes , if you don't get there right at 2pm, you lose out on the snack...
Here are some things to read while i am gone.. enjoy...
