beware the buffalo

[chestnutcurls]

Welcome to Memphis, where you can experience two different seasons in two days. (The high was 70 on Saturday. Today it's 40.)

Saturday was beautiful. Kathy, Daniel, Ryan, and I went on a picnic as planned, but we decided to go to Shelby Farms, which was not planned. It was a lot of fun. We ate Subway sandwiches, watched people sailing on the lake, and visited the buffalo (there's a buffalo reserve in the park). :) We took pictures (sorry, don't have the floppy with me right now). Then Ryan and I went to see Bringing Down the House with my family (which was hilarious), went back to their house for dinner, and watched 10 Things I Hate About You on TV. It was a fun day.

Yesterday, a lady in my Sunday School class said that a guy she knows, who works for the CIA, told her that Memphis is one of the top targets for retaliation when the war starts. (*gasping from run-on sentence*) I knew that we were in the top 10 or so, because of FedEx and Northwest, but sheesh. However, he also said that many secret safety measures are being taken right now, so that's comforting. I'm not going to get nervous about it because God's in control, and there's nothing we can do about it.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention the incredible fish fry I went to at Daniel's church on Friday night. I ate two platefuls of fried and baked fish, and wonderful hush puppies, and was generally the happiest girl in the world. And the best part is, they're having it every Friday of Lent. So I can partake of fish for five more weeks. :)

I stayed at my parents' house last night to bunny-sit. I'm happy to announce that Bun is visibly thinner these days. He almost looks like a normal bunny. I think this will extend his life, because he seems more energetic. He even ran circles around my feet last night, which he hasn't done in years. :)

I practiced my flute yesterday. I hadn't played in about six months. Gandalf went completely ballistic; he rolled around on his back, leapt onto my music book, and climbed onto my arm while I played. I'm not sure if it's because I was really terrible, or because it was a new noise. Or both.

I'm starving.

Mmmm.... fish fry!!!!

Hey, you're right... we DO need to duet!!! I am so rusty right now it's not even funny...

I didn't think about Memphis being such a target... It had crossed my mind that Knoxville might be though, with Oak Ridge being right there and all.

But God is in control! *hugs* :)

And I hadn't thought about Knoxville!

I'm sure we're equally rusty. :)

And MEmphis also has all thier government buildings smashed together so you can take them all out at once. yippee. There better be soemthing "secret" goign on because I havn't seen anything yet. They don't bother to enforce any of the no parking zones around here. If they did that, that would solve the financial problems of the schools for sure!!!!

Great, now I'm craving fish.

Our church does soup suppers each Wednesday during Lent. I didn't go last Wednesday, but they are generally good, particularly when Dania's dad cooks for them. He's the master of clam chowder, and I don't even normally like creamy soups!

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Oooo, clam chowder!!

Yeah, Kathy's church does soup suppers, so we might go to that on some of the Fridays. Although I would hate to give up the fish. Sorry for making you want fish... :) At least you can get it easily there, since you're near the coast.

Fish heads fish heads roly poly fish heads
Fish heads fish heads eat them up yum

In the morning laughing happy fish heads
In the evening floating in the soup

Ask a fish head anything you want to
They won't answer they can't talk

I took a fish head out to see a movie
Didn't have to pay to get it in

They can't play baseball they don't wear sweaters
They're not good dancers they don't play drums

Roly poly fish heads are never seen drinking cappuccino
In Italian restaurants with oriental women yeah

Oh my gosh...I have big memories of that song from when we went on a beachside vacation when I was four, and my teenage cousin watched MTV all the time, and that was one of the most popular songs. I didn't think anyone else remembered it. :)

Animals love when you play instruments. My dogs used to sing along with me when I played the sax. They also seem to be big fans of harmonicas.

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

LOL... :)
