OH hey, hi.

Last weekend we drove out to Birmingham, AL, which is our halfway meetup point to hang out with my in-laws.  They needed their turn to celebrate Kev’s birthday with him, and I needed an obscene amount of seafood – it was win-win!  We met up at the Fish Market (warning, creepy Greek dude talks to you on that website).  Most of the restaurant is self-serve, where you order and pick up your food at a counter.  But we sat in the small full service section, and had a New York City boy as a waiter – surreal.  The food was awesome, and after we gorged, we wanted around the fresh fish counter and gourmet food market.  The persuasive fish monger talked me into buying a dozen frozen deviled crabs, some imported greek feta, and a large filet of amberjack, which he swore tastes like mahi-mahi.

note – it does!  I blackened it and served it in tacos.  YUM!

Afterwards we wandered out to the parking lot to say goodbye, when we discovered that an impromptu Mustang party had showed up.  So we hung out and admired the pretties.

oh yeah, baby

This week DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGED on as I counted down the days to VACATION.

I’m still counting.  Vacation starts Monday.

In the mean time, I’ve been distracting myself as much as possible.

With fiber:

252 yards of BFL singles

and knitting:

Myrtle leaf shawl, halfway completed, for mom’s birthday…which was Thursday.  Whoops!

Pretty nice, huh?  Right Sadie?  Sadie?  SADIE!

she never listens to me when she has a pig ear

I’ll be MIA for the next week – roughing it on the sunny beaches of South Carolina.  With my entire family…hmmm…this could be really awesome or really horrible.  Either way, I’ll blog about when I get back!
