Roger and I had a super great weekend. We early voted on Friday. Then we went to
the movies to see Argo. Very good
movie!
Saturday, we got up and went to the VegFest 2012 in
Riverside. Very interesting. I’ve been considering becoming a vegetarian,
because I just don’t care for meat unless I prepare it (and not even then
sometimes). But the fake meat we sampled
just didn’t do anything for me. I’d
rather just go without, rather than eat something that looks like meat, but has
the consistency of tofu. The funny thing
was, we were introduced to Seitan (pronounced Satan) by the Vegan Black Metal
Chef. He was very entertaining and his
food was delicious. We bought his DVD. (
You can watch him on YouTube.)
Afterwards, we went home and walked to the Skyrail and rode all of its
routes (for free). Then, we discovered
the Jacksonville Library. Wow! That’s all I can say…… Later that night, we watched Sweeney
Todd. When we were in London, we saw
Sweeney Todd’s barbershop, so I thought it would be neat to watch. Bloody and disgusting. That’s the extent of it. Oh, and it’s partly a musical. Gag.
So, Roger and I decided to try to communicate like that (by singing to
each other). This is another good way to
get a good belly laugh- sing like you’re in a musical to your partner. Please try this one day.
Today, we got up and headed to the Rust: Vintage sale in San
Marco. It was a small venue. Part of the booths were so reasonable in
prices and the others were ridiculous. One
extreme to another. I found a nice bag
to go with my vintage suitcase collection and a cone shaped measuring glass to
go with that collection. (So far, I’m
collecting blue, green and clear glass, rulers, measuring cups, religious icons,
suitcases, records, tea cups, vintage drinking glasses, Fontanini nativity
pieces and kitchen gadgets. Too much, I
know…..)
After the vintage sale, we found Jacksonville’s largest flea
market. That was fun. I found a really good bakery- Motions Sweets. I got a very yummy toasted coconut cupcake
with excellent flavor, presentation and packaging for $2. I’ll never make it in the cupcake business,
but that’s o.k.
Then, we ventured on to Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach. We checked out some over -priced antique
shops. Then, we decided to walk around
on the back roads. That’s when we found
The Pickers Market. I highly recommend this
antique mall. I found an old rolling
stool for a great price. They had a very
friendly employee, too.
When we came home, I was inspired to be crafty so I pulled
out the sewing machine my friend gave me.
Let me just say, 1) I don’t know how to sew; and 2) I assumed I could
read the directions and figure it out. I
am a directions geek. I love reading
manuals and instructions; illustrations thrill me as well. However, even with the manual, I cannot
thread this bobber correctly, because I cannot make the needle pull the bobbin
thread through, no matter how meticulous I try to be. Aughhhh.
I wish I had someone to help me. L Roger and I have a “who’s more crafty”
contest going. How am I supposed to
win?!!?
Last, I applied for a job I really want yesterday. Please pray that the Bank loves my resume and
insists on hiring me for a super high salary and they want me to start
tomorrow.
Bye for now!
New nightlight I made. :)
