I’m roasting garlic. That’s pretty much the highlight of the day so far. I woke this morning with a slight thickness about the head due to the massive consumption of stuff that is bad for me last night. I wasn’t driving, so I was especially liquid. My office is close (within a short walk) to the Pavilion in The Woodlands where Buzzfest was last night, so Mike and I were planning on using my reserved parking at work. When we arrived, all the spaces, even the reserved ones, were taken by concert-goers! Grr! We ended up finding a spot after some searching and I’m not the type to have someone towed, but I can’t remember a time where I was more tempted to do it. The line-up at the show didn’t disappoint. We had a great time people watching, chatting with strangers, etc. We went out afterwards for more libations and I think my head finally hit the pillow around 3:30 this morning. I’m not used to staying out late anymore and I can certainly tell a difference in my tolerance with only a week off drinking. My coffee run this morning was plagued by hunger pangs so I stopped at the market for a banana or something light. I can’t begin to tell you how badly I want TexMex. My short stop turned into some impulse shopping… the banana was $71.00 as it turns out. However, I bought some ingredients for dinner this evening and the pieces parts for baking some brownies for my friends since they were a smashing success last time. Eclair was scheduled for grooming this morning but I couldn’t find her proof of vacination paperwork, so it looks like I’ll be doggy stylist this afternoon. Mmmn… I’m starting to smell the garlic.
