Relapse and Windows III show

I claimed victory too soon with the allergies. I had a relapse Friday and yesterday I had about 50% of my voice. Stormy gave me a zyrtec and that helped a little – at least I slept with getting up only once to de-snot. ::sigh:: I haven’t had allergies this bad in probably a decade. Bleh. So far today I’ve taken nothing and I’m doing ok other than no voice. I’ve got to go pick up the windows in a little while and I plan to get more drugs while I’m out. I guess I’ll get some generic zyrtec and more liquid expectorant and decongestant – TUSSIN, BAYBEE!! I tell you, that shit will get you feeling trippy if you take it for a few days. I can see how the Robotrippers got the idea. :-)

So, we went to the MINT show last night and it was dead. They had it the same weekend as the Inman Park Festival, which guarantees epic FAIL. They scheduled like this for a show last year with the same result: dead show. It was just us artists but no buyers. I’m certain no windows sold and we can go get ours today. It’s ok with me, actually, I like my Wisteria window and I plan to give it to Janel if she wants it. It *is* pretty big, however and she may not have room for it. Janel, let me know!

I just finished mowing the back yard and feel pretty good, actually. All the weeds are now an even height so it actually looks like YARD! Heh! My bearded irises are finally blooming this year. I guess they heard me when I was threatening to dig them all up if they didn’t start blooming! LOL It’s survival of the fittest in my yard: either flourish or die! And I’m not gonna fuss over anything, either. That stupid Lincoln Rose that Heathen planted is still alive and has some blooms on it – Yay! I don’t do anything special for it. Good thing it bloomed, it was gonna get dug up, too. I am pretty sure plants can understand English… The “dead” butterfly bush came back to life when I planted it. Thanks for the tip, Sonya! It was nothing but a stick! Crazy.

Off to shower and get ready to pick up the windows. ::sneeze sneeze:: And get more drugs!

Big weekend!

Thanks to all that joined us Saturday. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves – some more than others (Dave, I’m looking at you! LOL). I’d gotten my drink on Friday night (damn that never ending VAT of box wine!) so I didn’t really drink that much Saturday. But I kept busy with the cooking and hostessing, so it was all good.

Super Special shout out to Caroline (et al.) for bringing that AWESOME boudin. OMG, we are totally addicted. Both the pork and the crawfish types were deelish! Someone needs to send me the links for ordering it or where to find it locally. YUM!

I took in my Wisteria window and Stormy’s The Overseer window to MINT today. Here is The Overseer:
