The Life and Times of Wheezinggirl
I use to post all the time about my "upcoming events". Then, once we started working on the Tumbleweed Tiny House I put that on hold and posted almost exclusively about the building process.
We're coming up on Winter, so things will be slowing down a little on that front, so I thought now would be a good time to go over some upcoming events.
Well, I guess I can start by telling a little about what I have been doing. My mother was in Atlanta visiting over the last week. She got her on 10/20. That night we made dinner at home and watched My Life in Ruins, which was pretty cute. On Wednesday we took her to dinner at Sugo, which is my favorite place ever. The rest of the week we did non-mom things - we hung out with lerg and his very fun girlfriend who was visiting from Michigan. And on Friday, oneandonlymatt and I went to Eddie's Attic in Decatur to see Mike Doughty. That was a great show!
On Saturday we got up and left around 9am for Asheville. My mom had never been there, and in fact had never been to North Carolina. We made a stop at Goats on the Roof - because, well, why not. While there Matt and I tried a sample of some HOT sweet pickles. Habinero peppers! Yum. I had tears after one bite, but sooo good. So we bought some. Haven't tackled them yet. We took the scenic route up to Mt. Matt and walked around with my mom for a little bit. It started out as a really beautiful day but quickly got kind of cold. We did a little work while my mom read for a bit and then we left for the hotel in town. We stayed at the Crown Plaza, which we hadn't stayed at before. It was nice. We had dinner at Carmel's in the Grove Arcade and then went over to Sante where Matt and I had some super tasty sweet, red, sparking wine and my mom had some coffee.
The next day, we walked around Asheville looking at some of the stores. Then we went to Biltmore Village and walked around some more. Eventually we went home.
My mom left to go back to Detroit yesterday.
Now, we begin the Halloween fun!
Tomorrow night we are going to the Fernbank Martini's & Imax event. It will be spooktacular - and I will be in costume. They are showing Beetlejuice.
Then on Saturday we are going to Swallow at the Hollow in Roswell with reikimaster and thunder24. Then we'll head back to our place to watch Halloween movies and have Halloween themed dessert.
After that, it is a race to the holidays. Matt will be out of town the first week of November in New York for a big IBM project. He'll be back that weekend and I think we are going to go up to the Hemlock Festival for a little bit to learn how to save the hemlocks up at Mt. Matt. Then he leaves again on Monday the 9th for a week in Asheville. I'll join him in Asheville on the 14th. Then it is just a week and a half until Thanksgiving when we will be traveling to Michigan. We'll be in Detroit late on Wednesday before Thanksgiving and will leave on Sunday.
Back in Atlanta for December we will be having my company Christmas party. Then we are hoping to plan one last trip to Asheville. Then it is pretty much Christmas - we will be in Detroit from the 23rd to the 29th. Then we are going to Asheville for New Year's Eve with the previously mentioned reikimaster and thunder24.
Then, next thing you know it will be 2010 - which by the way I would prefer to call "Twenty-ten" and not "Two Thousand Ten" or, even worse, "Two Thousand And Ten" (that one being a personal pet peeve). Lets *all* call it "Twenty-Ten".
I think that is all. I'm not a stress ball yet, but I expect to be relatively soon.
PS - sorry for typos and such. After typing all that I don't feel up to editing.
