Goat Cheez Salad - I'm a comin'!!!
3:00pm The goat cheese salad was wonderful (I took my own bag of dried cherries cause they never put enough on there) and I really enjoyed the movie, although if you don't like Wes Anderson movies, you probably won't enjoy it..I loved Rushmore, didn't care for Royal Tennenbaums and didn't see Life Aquatic, but this movie made me feel relaxed and happy...maybe it was the salad, maybe it was the 10 people in the theatre, I think it was the 3 actors who I adore...anyway, I feel great...
Its time to make my weekly trek to Austin, especially since I didn't manage to do it last week...my goal was to get my car up and out at least 1x a week, to just blow the cobwebs off (literally) and keep the battery charged...so, since I'm way behind, I'm going this morning...part of the reason I'm behind is because its just been too dang hot to drive w/ the top down and there were no good movies to see...but now there's Michael Clayton (George Clooney) and the Darjeeling Limited (another weird Wes Anderson movie that Brian has NO interest in)...so I'm taking the morning to myself and working this afternoon...and eatin' my favorite goat cheese salad as a treat...
I'm glad to see so many of ya'll are enjoyin' Pushing Daisies...its so silly and cute..
While outside checking out the garden yesterday, I happened to check out the pecan tree and the pecans are starting to drop...I spent about 20 min filling my pockets like a chipmunk, plucking the nuts from the branches...i opened one using an ice cream paddle (yeah, we don't have a nutcracker, go figure) but the nut was still kinda moist and bitter...so the others are sitting in a bowl on my counter, drying out...I think I need to do some raking this weekend and see what I can gather...there's SO MUCH going on this weekend, we're planting bluebonnet seeds (October is the best time to plant wildflowers), there's football games on tv, there's Halloween decorations to be dug out, and pumpkins to be hunted, and I need to weed eat the front yard...now that the mornings are cooler, we can work in the yard again...and man, does it need it...ugh...
