A Good Weekend

Yesterday I went to B'ham to visit with Ashley. We had a really nice day. We ate at a new burger place at the Summit. The wait for indoors looked long, we chose the patio. It was nice but quite breezy! We had good burgers though, so I'd recommend Flip Burgers to anyone who likes a good burger and especially onion rings.....mmmm, they melt in your mouth. Any chance I get, I'm always up for a chance to go to B'ham! I miss city life. Even after nearly 30 years of living in Alabama, I still miss bigger city life. Oh well, there are many other good reasons to live a more country life. I know Carl was amazed when we were in Chicago suburbs that "people lived so close together" he kept saying "there's no way I could live like that". It is all a matter of what you grew up with. Of course, Carl was raised when it was still the farm life, I was raised in a big city with lots of restaurants, places to shop, and things to do.

Today is my take it easy day. I've had the "crud" this week and I'm trying to get of it. I also need a rest day to prepare myself for Monday at work. I do not care what any studies have said.....the full moon makes people crazier! I have more goofy things from my patients, more stressed out people, and more people in tears when the moon gets full. As an ole' ER nurse, I knew when the moon was getting full! No werewolves but I swear the behavior of people change as if they are under some kind of influence! So, the moon is big and full now, that is why Easter is next Sunday. I believe Michael is going to come down for next weekend. I always look forward to his visit. We don't talk a lot considering we are polar opposites on politics, etc. I'm always afraid we'll get in to a BIG argument so we try to leave news topics undiscussed. I tease him about being such a radical republican, I'm not sure where he got that gene. Must have been on his Dad's side!

Anyway, Keith is off today. He was over here weed eating. I'm baking some Peanut Butter Toffee Cheesecake Brownies. Saw the recipe in the sunday paper a couple of weeks ago. It was the finalist recipe in the 44th Pillsbury Bake-off contest. I have to pass on the recipe if they are good. I figure they can't taste bad. Chocolate! Cream cheese! Toffee! and Peanut Butter! and more Chocolate! (which is a food group by itself!). I know I don't need it but chocolate raise serotonin levels and release endorphins...hey, it IS good for you.

Well, enough of my ramblings. Hope everyone has a good week. I'm off good Friday so it'll be a short week. :)
