Lazy Day & Party Prep Day - May 21, 2010

Oh, this is certainly Friday! The first full day of vacation. I wake up at 7:00 a.m. to a quiet house. No one else is stirring, not even a mouse. Of course, I forgot to ask Kelly the night before about the coffee. I am too foggy to remember how to make a whole pot of coffee. No internet access until Kelly comes alive. What to do, what to do?? The outside world is beckoning me to come and visit. The deck chair is calling my name. The birds are singing. No other sounds at all. I am restless but I have no choice but to be still. Maybe this is a good thing. I have some access to Facebook on the my cell phone but then I lose it. Is there a message here? I am going through withdrawals. Uh oh.


Kelly and Hugh finally stir around 9:00 a.m. so coffee is made and internet connection is established. I am so thrilled. I wonder what is going on in the outside world. After that has been established, more coffee is required. My body is tired from all the traveling and the margaritas last night. A new remedy for what ails you is dandelion root in your coffee. Tastes yucky but is all natural and good for you so I give it go. We will work through it as we have a long day doing whatever we want to do. However, the sky is opening up to cry. I guess they even get rain here.


Sustenance was needed to give us energy for this day's activities. Scrambled eggs with peppers and onions, toast and bacon. Oh yummy bacon, how I have missed you lately. Activities are not exactly planned yet but Kelly is last minute much like me. It will be whatever moves us. Lists need to be made to prepare for tomorrow night's birthday party for Kel's 21 year old son Danny. All parties here are interesting and filled with music and great conversation. Revelrie will be the order of that evening. I cannot wait to see everyone again. Always a great time!

Lazy day so far this morning and into the afternoon. Thankful for the downloading of Dr. Who through my I-Tunes. I watched the Victory of the Daleks. Dr. Who is just brilliant! I love the characters and the writing. Oh, and the sets are phenomenal.

Our To-Do-List is made so we are off to the store around 1:30 p.m. The sun is out and shining brightly but the wind is high. Woo Hoo! Old rock and roll is playing on the radio station. We are just grooving to the music.

Our shopping cart at Meijer's grocery store was overflowing with all the needs for the party. As we do not know exactly how many people are coming, Kelly loaded the cart. Someone else is making the food so we did not have to worry about purchasing food items for the party so we had room for what is required for a successful party.

We pulled into the driveway around 3:30 p.m. and unloaded the car. My first order of business was to take out my contacts for awhile so that they could soak in solution. My problem? No eye glasses were packed so I am not functioning at high capacity. I cannot really see what I am doing at all. As I am updating the blog, I have to lean up close to the screen so that I can read what I am actually relaying. I am sure there are errors but they are easily fixable. Another activity before dinner? Another episode of Dr. Who - The Time of Angels. Only one more episode left on my I-Tunes. I may have to see if there are others for me to download for my trip back to Maine.

Around 5 p.m., Hugh, Kelly and I drove to the Eagles Club/Bikers Hangout to partake of the steak fry/bbq with all the fixings including a delicious chocolate cake with chocolate frosting! Oh, and I cannot forget the beer. The best part is that everything is inexpensive and the members were very friendly and hospitable. Oh what fun! Next on the agenda? Going inside the club to play Keno. I always need a refresher. Of course, I got a few numbers right but I did not come out ahead and neither did Kelly. However, she did get a few more correct than I did. As it was still early, the place was quiet with less than 20 people but we figured that people would be coming later. We keep forgetting that this is Friday. The sky is crying even harder now than earlier today. The sky is also angry as it is making noises once in awhile. Hopefully, this will not last long. Tomorrow is another day. We shall see, we shall see!

Oh my. The food lady is here with all the goodies for tomorrow including a fabulous birthday cake. As it looks so nice, you wish you did not have to cut into the cake tomorrow. Oh well, the cake is made to eat and not made to look at for long. We decided that it will be a low key evening with no margaritas in sight. This means that it is almost time to watch the season finality of Grey's Anatomy that we missed last night. As this will end our evening of festivities, I will be calling it a night soon after that episode ends.

I hope everyone else had a great day!
