I feel like I've forgotten something. Of course my three hours of sleep last night aren't helping. I love my husband, but I want my bed ALL TO MYSELF. I'm all achey from working in the yard yesterday (aerated, top-dressing of cow manure-composted, re-laid the stone edging to make it purdy, planted more bedding plants to fill out bare spots) so I took a muscle relaxer last night. Annnnd... my problem is my BONES. So muscle relaxers are no bueno.

I want to travel. I want to eat exotic foods. I want to hear strange languages and see colorful, handmade items crafted by local artisans. I want to hear strange birds and animals, see unusual plants and trees. I want to sit on a beach and hear the water crash, people chatting, and have my eyes closed with red light streaming through my eyelids, my skin getting hot and sunshiney.

I want to sleep in a weird place, but because I did so much exploring during the day, I'm fagged out and could sleep on a rock. But most of all, I just want something... Different? Hmm. June 3rd. June 3rd. It's coming. It isn't exotic, but it's a change...

Looking SO forward to May 29th and the folks coming to the Star Wars with Stoney Fest. Worked on a "commemorative mug" and gift bag goodies. Of which will include the Faith (and hopefully the Buffy mix) CDs I'm working on (thanks to those who contributed the two songs I so desperately needed.) And iron ons!! For those going: [livejournal.com profile] crazydiamondsue, [livejournal.com profile] elcazavampiros, [livejournal.com profile] somecandytalkin, [livejournal.com profile] smashsc, and the lovely [livejournal.com profile] leeannaray, let me know if there is a favorite beverage/snack of choice. Or food allergies, etc. There are still beds free in my home for those that can travel to the 'burbs of Dallas, TX Memorial Day weekend.

*wanders off looking for SOMETHING*

What's happening June 3? Besides [livejournal.com profile] alice23kate's birthday, that is. Are you planning a trip that day?

I'm sorry your bones are treating you so meanly.

*pets you*

Summer vacation to the white sugar-sand beaches of Florida. Not exotic (say, Micronesia or Madagascar) but hey. Water, dining, *different* you know?

So, should I buy a lottery ticket in hopes of winning big and flying you out here for Stoneyfest? *reaches for you and you are not HERE*
*cries with the wanting*

And no worry for the bones. I'm tough as nails.

Beach in Florida! Good for you! I hope you have an absolutely grand time.

Yeah, it does make me sad about not coming to Stoneyfest... and feel all sorry for myself. But then I think of [livejournal.com profile] violethamster's imagined response from the Baby Jesus, and then I start to laugh all over again...

I have a steady supply of both club soda and tonic water, limes are never in a shortage here, either. Check and check. I HATE cilantro, so we're good. No beef, no pork... Mr. S is BBQing both Sunday night. Ha! Chicken? Lots and lots of yummy veggies and fruit good?

My goal in life is to be an excellent hostess, so I want to provide fave snacks/goodies, mm'kay?

I AM SO EXCITED!

Here you are in the heart of Mexican food country and you hate cilantro? How can this be?

One of the small number of herbs that I do grow in my pitiful garden is always cilantro, cause I love it so.

don't hate me but...

I like a teeny tiny bit, and that's it. So bitter and kaka in my mouth...

I saw someone else's comment where it said that it's a biological thing -- it could be that you taste it differently from me. How interesting! My best RL friend also hates it. The more for me, ha ha!

That means you would have problems with some Indian food dishes too, since they also use cilantro. Although they call it something else (my memory fails me).

Chicken! Yes, so wonderful. Veggies and fruit are fantastic.

I'm sure you will be the hostess with the mostest.

Cilantro does weird things to me. It tastes foul and bitter (did you know that is a genetic thing? some people taste cilantro correctly, some people lack the ability) and makes me feel drunk & a little high, also stabby headaches. So weird.

I am so looking forward to the Star Wars with Stoney fest. Nothing special needed for me. I am happily omnivorous. Since you are being so delightful, and hosting this, is there anything I can bring for you? Do you like chocolate?

Only 13 more days.

I lobe your Star Wars icon, by the way. Han/Luke was my original OTP.

DUDE. I love chocolate. But don't put yourself out. Seriously.

I can't WAIT!

Bringing chocolate to you gives me the perfect excuse, to patronize my favorite chocolate stores. So really you're doing me a favor.

Hope you find *something*

Hey girl! Sorry bout your bones!!
Imma bring drink supplies for Honeymooners and whatever else you'd like me to bring for teh festivities. Hollah at me and let me know what you might like. Also I will think.
...Cilantro hater.

PS: I also am not a huge cilantro fan. A little's okay but too much makes me gag.

From: [identity profile] stoney321.livejournal.com
Ditto on the cilantro. Not. A. Fan.

Oooh! What's in a honeymooner? I'll have margaritas, mojitos, wine, beer, Coke, Diet Sprite, uh... water.... And can get more to please the peoples.

And all you need to bring is yourself and a positive attitude and a willingness to GET DOWN! Woot!

From: [identity profile] stoney321.livejournal.com
Going to SanDestin, FL. Not exotic, but peaceful, sunny, good eatin'... And you know: change.

Hopefully I'll get to take a trip with Mr. S to Vancouver in July, the I have SF in September... I just want to be wandering NOW. Heavy duty wanderlust in my bones today. Maybe that's why they hurt? :-D

Vancouver is when?

I'm still semi-pondering a trip to the northwest. Maybe we could fix it to hang out for an afternoon (not to horn in on your romantic weekend :))

July? Not sure when. We're going for romance, true, but I also have three flisters there we are planning on meeting.

With as cold as the weather's been here in Minnesota a trip to Texas sounds heavenly. Alas, I can't go to Star Wars with Stoney Fest because you are far away and I am poor. :(
*sigh* Too bad because a Stoney sounds like a very fun person to be around.

Date: 2005-05-16 11:27 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] stoney321.livejournal.com
Now, I can't say for sure, but I've heard a Stoney is a great thing to have in your life...

I'm disappointed, but I definitely can't come to Dallas. I'm too broke. Also, I can't find a place to board my dogs. Darn it. It sounded like fun too. I'm going to be busy selling body parts to try to come up with my tuition for graduate school :P

I am so, so sorry about the grad school nightmare.

We'll drink a toast to our homies in remembrance...

Ugh. I hate you. Tempting me with your Stoney fest. Cruel, cruel woman. ;)

But, hey--I've already pre-ordered my tickets via the internet, and am going to be catching it May 19. And will be blissfully taunting you until May 29th. Becuase I'm a sadist. Yes. Heee.

Date: 2005-05-17 05:23 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] stoney321.livejournal.com
HA HA. You can't taunt me. Why, you ask?
1) you have forgotten I have a 9 year old son. We will be seeing it before the 29th, most likely, or he'll implode.

2) we'll be seeing it on DLP. WILL YOU?? (Um, you totally could if you came to my place...)

Don't taunt me, OMG!
