Life is good. I am out of school for the summer. I'm working 25 hours a week at Converse. I am loved by an amazing Godly man, and a wonderful family, and awesome friends.
I've been sick this weekend. I got it from Daniel, Grace's 2 year old. I should have known better than to share my food with him and let him drink out of my water bottle, but he just looked so miserable and pitiful that I wanted to take care of him! That was Monday. Grace came over to help us plant a few rows of green beans. Daniel was feverish so we took turns coddling him while the others worked the garden. Saturday morning I started getting a sore throat and headache and then it just got worse with aches and chills and nausea. I could barely move, I felt so weak. No wonder Daniel looked so miserable.

Monday I planted green beans with Grace. Tuesday and Wednesday I hired my young neighbor, Soline, to help me de-vine the front bushes and haul brush. Friday, Pam and I went to an Indian market, where I bought some Indian music videos. Those videos were the perfect thing to watch while I was sick, trying to stomach a little chicken soup and jello. Romance, dancing, costumes, and Shahruhk Khan helped me forget my misery. Saturday, before I started feeling really miserable, I got to study the Bible and pray with Kinsey at Chic-fil-A. She invited me to a cookout yesterday, but unfortunately I was too weak to go. Didn't even make it to church. Missed the church's Memorial Day cookout today as well.
Matthew's visit, stockings photos, and a video of Feist in concert after the jump.
Matthew visited three weeks ago. It was a whirlwind visit, but we had a good time. He got into town early and surprised me at work. A very good surprise. We spent some time at Hatcher Garden, and then hung out with Grace, Jacob, Cole and Amanda. That was a pretty zany night, between the girls giggling over our new stash of vintage stockings from the Nylon Stocking Society, and a late-night Krispy Kreme run with the guys. I forget how immature Cole and Jacob get when you put them in a room together. Matt seemed to get a kick out of them though.
Here's the ladies with Georgie. We dressed up to show off our new stockings. |
Matt & Georgie. Sorry, pup, you are no longer the handsomest. |
I don't guess you can see her shoes in this video. But you can hear her improvising on "So Sorry." She was so...spunky! I wish I could describe the way she moved. I don't know if the video does her justice. She had this girlish energy, the way she would throw her fists up in the air and stomp around, and converse with the audience in a singsong, and toss off fascinating improvised rhythms and runs like they were nothing. What a voice. It was a great show. Lots of pretty images and video on the big screens, and sparkling lights and effects, and the backup singers were having fun making up dance moves.

If you play music and don't want me to dance, sit me in a chair. Hmm, you may have to buckle me down too.
This has been a reverse-chronological ramble brought to you by Lydia. Until next time!
