Clearing the clutter

Before


I have not quite gotten to my kitchen because I still don't think that I can throw out any of my kitchen gadgets, but I have a whole year to work on that goal.  I did notice what a mess my laundry room had became, so I downsized and straighten that area.  I incredibility accomplished today.

Nights with the crew


I don't usually talk about what I do when I go out with my crew.  Partly I do this because I am a "slam clicker" (someone who goes to their room, shuts and locks the door)therefore nothing happens, and well some of the little restaurants are just exciting to me, there isn't really anything to rave about, but I just like them.  This week my crew had heard of Gus' famous chicken in Memphis on the travel channel, so we had to check it out.  It was some awesome chicken; grease galore!  It took a while to make, so we knew it was fresh.  Can't get any better with cheesy memorabilia,  large amounts of beer, and genuinely great company.  The only downer was that it was a good mile and a half from the hotel and we had to walk home in a down pour of rain, and I was the only one without a hood.  I looked like a drown rat with my crew looking refreshed  and ready to play some more.  At that point I definitely slammed clicked and burrowed into my warm bed.

Weekend at Jody's

This was a much needed visit. All we did was watch Harry Potter and walk dogs. The place where we walked the dogs reminded me of Sweetwater Creek which is one of my favorite state parks. I was extremely rude and knitted on the couch while watching the movies (I told you I am a little obsessive). But hey all you need is a little Rhubarb Bitters and Ginger ale with a strawberry garnish, and there is a great making for an awesome weekend. Look at those smiles (including the dog's and she didn't even get any).
