drinks with madonna’s brother….or is he??
friday night my sister sara and i met up with my mom and her friend carol for drinks at guytano’s. mom’s been friends with carol since sara and i were really young so she’s like a member of the family. mom’s also friends with guytano ciccone the owner of the restaraunt. so he comes over to chat with us and i ask him if he’s related to madonna. he tells me that he can’t tell me about it because they have some sort of agreement. but he did say she was coming for a visit in 2 weeks. so i’m thinking maybe he’s some sort of relative but according to e!’s bio he’s not her brother. maybe a distant cousin? or maybe a big faker? =)
spring cleaning, vet visit and trading spaces
saturday i woke up early and took both kitties to the vet. nimbus has apparently been bitten by a spider so she’s got this icky spot on her neck. they had to shave her and give her a shot and do the whole deal. she was soo good. didn’t make any bad girl noises or give the vet any trouble. dabrie was only there for a nail trim. it was as if the devil had been unleashed in my cat. she was growling and hissing the whole time. they sedated her (somewhat) with catnip then put this hannibal lector mask on her, wrapped her in a towl and then were finally able to clip her nails. my cat is a demon. then i came home and did some spring cleaning & laundry, always fun. then carol and i headed over to harris teeter to get the goods for dinner. jon was closing at the store just like friday night so we got to see him for a minute or two. we headed back to my mom’s where sara and my mom were hanging out. sara brought over her veil for us to see. she’s getting married june 29th. we watched trading spaces and i have to agree with rachel that the sewing room hildy created for the dixie chick’s mama was hideous. too much fabric and what a cleaning nightmare! it looked like a cigar bar, not a sewing room. and it was so dark- how do you see to sew?
flowers & lucky bamboo
sunday i went with mom and carol to lowe’s and the grower’s outlet to buy flowers for the yard. i had to replace the pansies that were drying up because it’s been so hot. who knew flowers were so expensive?? i bought 1 hanging basket, 1 orchid, 1 bamboo plant, 8 geraniums, 1 hanging fuschia, & 1 pot….over $100! don’t tell the husband=) i put the “lucky” bamboo in the bedroom and the orchid on the fireplace mantle. let’s just hope the cats don’t think they’re snacks!
