Aunt Mary  
Aunt Mary often swears I only come over when I feel like it...once a month. Unlike the reality of once or twice a week. I was supposed to take Aunt Mary out Monday (5-5) but I was too wiped out from my birthday weekend extravaganza. On Tuesday it rained a little. I called her from 9:00 - 10:30 for 2 minutes every 15 minutes. Thank the Lord for speed dial and speaker phones. Turned out she had overslept and could not hear the phone. When I am old and deaf I am getting a home phone that has a vibrating attachment. That way I can wake up without sleeping with a hearing aid in my ear. (I know you did not think I would say that, naughty people). But really, this has happened several times. Sometimes I get calls from people trying to get in touch with her. I simply tell them to call her later. I just do not understand her.

Gardening  
I occasionally use Garden Safe Insecticidal Soap. I prefer not to use Raid & other bug killers. More than once I have just hunkered down to pick the bugs off my plants. I don't want to poison my plants or the bugs if I can help it. I don’t care about the bugs as much as I do the birds that might eat a poisoned bug. I do not wish to start a poisonous circle of death. The one bad thing is that I have to nuke my backyard. Due to all the stray animals there are fleas and other disgusting & germy insects to extinguish. I am Eco friendly in the front yard and the harbinger of death in the back.

My Mom Called  
For a week my Mom had planned to attend the Widow's Link luncheon on Saturday. On Friday my Mom reminds me that it is at 11:00. No problem. At 7:00am Saturday morning my Mom calls to tell me she is not going. She has decided to bow out. Then she hung up. Later on at 9:30 I called her back to ask why didn't she just tell me at a reasonable hour instead of the crack of dawn? (Saturday is the only day we sleep late). She thought I would want to know as soon as possible.
Oye. I love my Mom

Movie Review: Indiana Jones 4: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull  
No spoilers. There have been several movies I enjoyed until the last few frames...Aliens 3, Gia and now Indiana Jones 4. In order to NOT tell you anything I will just say this...the last 5 minutes were fun. The last 15 minutes were annoying. I enjoyed all the actors and the parts they played. The action scenes were entertaining. It is a certain plot device at the end that I did not like. My willing suspension of disbelieve could only take me just so far. I was having so much fun and then it insulted my intelligence. I totally admit that despite the flaws the movie is worth watching. The whole group of us had fun.

Birthday weekend  
For my Birthday I used to pile all my wishes into 1 day and kill myself. I am not as goofy as I look, so this year I used all 3 days to kill myself! I received some really nice and unexpected presents. I just wanted people to be around. The stuff was a sweet bonus!
Frank & Son is always fun. The indoor swap meet for collectibles cannot help but show me something interesting to buy. We had a great side trip to the Outlet stores and Downtown Disney.
I went dancing twice. Robin Roth was one of the DJ's at the Kava Lounge (2812 Kettner Blvd) Saturday night. Clubs have theme nights just like they used to. We all enjoyed her musical choices, but her partners songs were way too old school for the majority of the kids in the room. Chris liked it though :-)  Ned invited us to go dancing Sunday. Riches (1051 University Ave) was having a Madonna CD release party. DJ Derek played 75% Madonna all evening. They actually had impersonators for Madonna and Justin Timberlake dancing to their newest song, "4 minutes". It was pretty dang entertaining, despite being a freak magnet for straight men in a gay bar. I was happily lubricated most of the weekend, but my joints were not. Dancing for 4 hours each night can get painful, partially because I am out of shape and partially because I am old. dammit. Brunch at the Broken Yolk was delicious. I hope I get to go again sometime. Yummy!  All in all a good time was had by all no matter when they showed up.
