it's a bird! it's a plane!

today i mostly stayed inside my castle, watching Criminal Minds, Matilda, Secret Life & GH.  i read some of my magazine.  i made some really good tortillas for lunch.  i got to talk to phil on the phone for awhile!  it's nice to get to have long conversations with him, because a lot of the time when i see phil, it's a hi-bye kinda thing when i'm at the house & he's on his way out. 

i did go out for a bit this afternoon.  i kept hearing the planes fly overhead, and seriously the two things that bug the heck out of me when i hear them & can't see them are fireworks & planes!  because i love watching both!  i had wanted to go to the air show this weekend, but oh my heck it was HOT and HUMID outside!  there was no way i wanted to spend $15 to get in when i wasn't sure how long i could handle the heat.  plus, i was reminded that i don't own a lawn chair.  d'oh!  i must remedy that one of these days & get a camp chair w/ fancy schmancy cup holders so i can get my diva on while i sit ... places.  lol 

anyway, i went to pick up a a strawberry sparkling lemonade - and can you tell me why i received a regular lemonade, after the gal repeated back to me "strawberry"??  at least she did apologize for getting it wrong, and got me the correct drink.  (unlike the last gal that gave me the wrong thing there, she acted all huffy & like it was MY fault she gave me the wrong thing!  ppl!)  once i had the correct drink, i went to mail some postcards & then wanted to drive to aunt sandy's neighborhood to watch the planes.  only to find out they'd blocked off the road to her house!!  wth??  bah. 

so, i just drove around a bit, looking at the sky.  only ever saw one plane, and not close enough to get a picture!  but i did get to see a lot of this:

and i think i tricked my body into thinking it was on a roadtrip!  *laugh*  or i was doing conditioning for next week's trip! 

i managed to get all of uncle gene's key west posts edited this afternoon, which was fun!  i hope you've been checking them out!  : )  seeing all that shrimp really had me craving it, so i made shrimp penne for dinner.  pretty good, but i'm still hankerin for some crab something - or - other! 

time for bed soon, even though tomorrow's plan is much the same as today's.  thank God for restful weekends!! 

ttfn.
