...When The Livin's Easy

This weekend: Drag Me To Hell, quality time at Ikea (this girl loves her Swedish homegoods), a 80s Pop Show by The Autumn Society of Philadelphia at Brave New Worlds, a midnight 35mm print screening of Ghostbusters at The Ritz at the Bourse and quality time in Downtown West Chester.

Next weekend -- Dana, Steve and The Best Friend will be in town, so I'll be spending some quality time at Independence Hall, National Mechanics' and in South Philly trying to convince the boys that if they eat a cheesesteak from both Pat's and Geno's in the same afternoon, their colons will explode with a fury not seen since Mount St. Helens blew up in 1980.

We're also thinking about hitting Adventure Aquarium in Camden and planning a trip for our anniversary in July.

Summer '09 looks like it might just be the best one yet....

38-13 Dolphins Win!

Beautiful.
Just beautiful.

Live every week like it's shark week.

Today:

Free Spiderman 3 premiere tickets at the new IMAX at Pointe Orlando (Thank you J-School for finally returning on my investment). Earth, Wind and Fire, Augustana and Barry White. A sky white-washed with smoke and heat. Undeclared mini-marathon with The Best Friend. Craving frosty mango margaritas and making tentative plans for Cinco de Mayo ("You call this culture? Guacamole and a ghetto blaster in the middle of a desert?!" +10 to anyone who gets the reference). Lunch and summer optimism with Pepe. Books, books, books. A serious jones for lazy afternoons at the pool listening to G. Love and Sublime. Cleaning the bathroom in pink underwear while listening/dancing to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Strawberry sweet tea (Iced tea + frozen strawberries + lemon juice + ice + Magic Bullet = ♥) and finally, a fan.

Today was beautiful.

The rest of the week is laid out like a deck of cards and I think I might just have a winning hand.

Tuesday -- Gainesville with Paps to pick up Sparky. Move on up and move on out. Long drives + good mixes. Fresh, crunchy salads and birthday cake bakin.'

Wednesday -- Dan flies into town! Airport reunion scene. Long-lost kisses and Lost and lots and lots of kissing.

Thursday -- Graduation. The whole family. Black robe, black and white dress, black heels, gold tassel and a funny black hat. Spiderman 3 premiere at Pointe Orlando. Holding hands and watching movies.

Friday -- Dinner with the Crew. Paper tablecloths + perverse Picassos. Celebrating D's new job and Jerry/Kelly/My graduation with Sparkletinis. Looking over my right shoulder and seeing the boyfriend there. It's not a dream. It's not a dream.

Saturday -- Cinco de Mayo: cervezas, margaritas y mas besos.
