So a whole week of stuff happened that I haven’t blogged about, so I’ll just give a quick recap here.

Tuesday Grace drove in from the B-ham to hang out all afternoon by the pool and drink mojitos.  That was pretty awesome.  Then it got even AWESOMER as we met Sandy and her hubby, Bob, for dinner at Maggianos (if you have one near you?  Try the braised beef canneloni.  It will CHANGE YOUR LIFE!)  Much frozen belini’s were consumed, and then it was on to the finale of the evening to see EDDIE IZZARD, LIVE!  Oh the awesomeness…it did swell and grow.  Sadly, Eddie was an “off duty” transvestite that evening, though he was rocking the coat with tails, lined in pink satin.  I do confess that there was a 20 minute interlude where he went off about giraffs for some reason (and no, not even EVIL giraffes) when the full meal and multiple boozy drinks caught up with Grace and me, and I think we both sort of spaced out for a bit.  HOWEVER, we snapped back out of it and thoroughly enjoyed the show.  I really REALLY wanted a “cake or death” t-shirt, but the line was WAY TOO LONG, and it just wasn’t going to happen.

We drove around trying to find a good dessert place, but nothing is open in the ‘burbs past 11, so that was crap.  So we just drove back to my place, where Grace passed out on my couch, with Sadie keeping a close watch, just in case dog biscuits started popping out of her ears.  IT COULD HAPPEN!

I had grand hopes to try to show Grace the farmer’s market, but we were far too lazy for that to happen.  I went myself on friday and loaded up with plenty of veggie and cheese goodness.

Saturday the awesomeness continued when I got to meet my most favoritest podcasters, Kris and Betsy Smith, of Croncast fame.  Yes, I know you don’t listen…EVEN THOUGH I HAVE TOLD YOU COUNTLESS TIMES HOW AWESOMELY FUNNY THEIR SHOW IS.  Because you are a stubborn hoar.

They’re changing the name of their show and tweaking the format slightly, but that should give you enough time to go download some of their best shows.

Go ahead.  I’ll wait.

OK, done?  Well, just so you know, they are just as cool in real life as they are on the show. I also got to meet some other Atlanta (and North Carolina!) Croncast fans, like Tim and Nannette, who’s podcast I have just subscribed to because they are fun and apparently grow MONSTER SIZED VEGETABLES in their yard.

Kris and Betsy.  In the far background are their friends…crap.  I’m so terrible with names.  But Mark and Carol - his website is here, I think.

The rest of the table - Nanette and Tim on the left, then…Sara?, her kids, and her sister.  Duh.  Again, so terrible with the names Sarah from N.C. with her two kids (Case and Lukas) and her friend SISTER, Tammy Way way far to the left is David…again, I think.

Thanks for clearing up the names for me, Tim!

Tim complained that I never show my picture on my blog.  Hello?  It’s because I am the one taking pictures!  OK, so here I am, awkward double chinned camera angle and all.

A fun time was had by all, and then Kris and Betsy were whisked away to experience the rest of what Atlanta has to offer, because they are thinking about moving and HOW AWESOME would it be if they moved here?  So umm…I think they were going to the Clairmont Lounge tonight, so I hope they don’t catch some kind of communicable disease because they did something foolish.  Like touch anything in there.

And that was pretty much my week.  Kev is currently cleaning out his manputer room, and all manner of strange and wonderful wirey computer components are headed for trashville.  Hooray!  Soon when we have overnight guests they will actually be able to stay in the guest room! WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK IT?
