Oh, Wow, KARAOKE!!!

My first Karaoke bar. This was fun!
I didn't sing...yet....so I guess I am still (technically) a Karaoke virgin, but boy did I have a good time. :)

We had some friends over for tostas, tapas and toasts, (With Erin's help)then we moved over to Lucy's Mexicali Restaurant for dinner and some music.

I hadn't realized what ol' fogeys we had become:
  • we were out after dark
  • we had a cocktail
  • there was loud music (one of the ways I measure my age is by my intolerance - usually - for noise)

I'm too tired to tell you more just now.
I hope your weekend is half as satisfying!

a catch-up quickie

Good Morning.
We're in another frenzy around here. (oh, no, not AGAIN!)

This one is purposeful and exciting. We are committed to the move, although we are still not 100% decided on the destination. We will be taking a week off in early April to explore the Gulf coast of Texas, and also a college town well positioned between Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas.
Then we'll decide on the city and start seriously looking for the 'last' house.

Meanwhile, we're packing and cleaning. We're not neat-freaks here by any means, and as soon as we give the go-ahead to our realtor we have to be ready to show the house on VERY short notice. With that in mind, we are cleaning out closets and drawers and cabinets, packing what we use (but not often) and throwing away or donating anything we don't want. (We've done the get-rid-of-it thing before so this time it's easy.)

The worst will be the office/workshop/studio space...what a chore!

I want the taxes finished by the first, too. I'm close, so that should only take a day or two.
Gotta get back to laundry right now.
I'll be back, I promise.
