8644 – Eat a Bagel and Go!

Eat a bagel and GO! was our battle cry today, as BHK took charge and we managed to get up and out of the house by 10:30… not a trifling feat, considering our collective penchant for the lounge-about-the-houseisms.

(bhk thinks not, but I think maybe so.) I really dig having a walkabout cohort.

(our other battlecry of choice is “We’re Grown ups, We’re Married, We can do what we want!- that mostly applies to ice cream dinners, however)

We hit vizcaya with great enthusiasm…Quite enjoyed touring the grounds with bhk(more pictures from my last visit in ’03 on the vizcaya tag)

Green Dome, Pelican, red wall, stone boat, grotesques, stone boobies,spanish moss, pictures of a stalker european, sneaking into a secret door, quinteanos, swimming pools, fountains and foo dogs

highlights of the day were seeing a manatee in the wild by the stone boat, and holding hands with my beloved on the bench by the east gardens.


After vizcaya, we toured around and ultimately went to the swap-shop drive-in to see flushed away… very cute, but I think that I enjoyed the novelty of the drive-in even more than the movie. Very easy to sneak drinks and smooches in without an usher giving us any grief… we’ll be going back again before sauntering to points north, I suspect.

I was pretty impressed by flushed away… they kept the look and feel of aardman, despite it being all cgi rather than claymation. cute moments and lots of fun bits, though I think that the setup for a sequel was a bit over-telegraphed.

Hung out a bit at the pool for a swim and then played pirates with Danny and bhk. Bhk’s first time playing and she won soundly. (she was playing a pirate, an American warship, and a giant squid… my Spanish armada and Danny’s American/frenchies didn’t have a chance, though Danny came close to doing a victory by gold rather than combat.)


sleepy bear tonight… lots of fatigue from a long week of work and such, I suspect. I’ll see what sort of fallout I get from work re:resignation during the Monday meeting.

Yesterday, I saw a goggle-wearing dog, and some fish.

goggledoggiefshiesgoggledoggie2

At the traffic ticket fixer (read: ambulance chaser) law office on Oakland park blvd.


Putting in my notice at work today. Time to move on… Greener pastures await. They now have folks I can train to take care of business, so no guilt here. I’ll be interested in seeing what the response will be, as they fairly thought I’d stay until removed with a crowbar.

Two weeks from now, I’ll be en route to Maryland, and the condo will be a seasonal rental, and we can vacation there off-season. Bro has no idea I’m leaving the state, as I’ve not really heard from him in a few months.


More pictures from yesterday… bhk in awe of the goodyear blimp, big red the iguana & friend, silly faces, sunset in the back yard

swensens
At swensens, the wait staff asked me to help them with a power issue after we got our ice cream digested.. turned out the circuit breaker was flicked over, but we got ’em up and running in no time. They were very thankful and cut the cost of our meal. still a bit miffed over the lack of spanish peanuts or proper wafers. I think that we might try another swensens later, as one of our waitresses (we had two… it was a slow night in there, and they just traded off) confided in us that there were some items that they had on the menu that never ever got ordered – Wafers and whole peanuts amongst ’em.

Purse-lipped Canadian Pencil Sharpener’s name is now “Bruce Moose” He is Guardian of the “Love Cube” (the Element)

His voice is pretty dang poncy, but we love him, and he loves us. I may get him to do a voice post for us later on down the line. His South Park-esque eyes and tuque, snazzy orange fur, maple-leaf tattoo and love of pencils where the sun doesn’t necessarily shine has endeared him to us, as well as his super duper cheery outlook and personality… like the uncle Arthur we never had.

Is it only Tuesday? It seems like it should be at least Wednesday, by the feeling in my gut.


I’ve got to remember to vote today… Governor race isn’t very promising, but other items need coverage.


Bhk made a yummy broccoli and sunflower seed pizza for dinner, but I really didn’t have a huge appetite last night. Ah, well, just means a tasty lunch today!


Registered letter came in the mail yesterday… I’m curious to see if it’s something for me, or more for my bro. I seriously suspect it’s bro, and a billing issue. (another side effect of him having no forwarding address, and my living in the same building a while back)

A little poetry I’ve been composing for a week now:

I’m a doodiehead. I wet the bed. I love baboons so my butt is red.

That was in my lj client this morning. Hmmm… Was it Newt, or Bhk? Neither are owning up to it.


Dindin at the momsters went pretty well, but at about 8:30, I just totally ran out of energy and we bid the folks adieu. Hit the sack after doing some last minute chores… I hardly remember ’em, as I was a zombie.


I want to write something else, but I’m drawing a little bit of a blank. I’m having a wonderful home life lately, and look forward to it continuing for many a moon to come, even if I suffer from a little lj vandalism from cohabitants from time to time. I still have to post some more doodles and piccies. Walkabout or just more outdoor time this weekend!
