"Turn around - bright eyes!"
A few more camping pics. My parents bought us a grill/cooler and we are first using it on this trip. We love it!!
We had a wonderful anniversary - RKZ took me to see Shakespeare in the Park - The Merry Wives of Windsor. It came complete with a stadium grass seat and a basket of yummy food. I ate most of the cookies and we had a great night. The play was even pretty good. RKZ actually laughed and didn't hate it - that is a ROUSINGLY good compliment for the show.
We took a nice long walk after the show and went for a beer. Unfortunately, at that moment, it felt like my throat was closing in and my head was about to explode. I've had about 100 Grasshoppers (the beer) before, so I wasn't too worried about it being an allergic reaction. Still, I knew something was wrong.
Well, 2 days and a doctor's visit later, turns out I had STREP THROAT! What a pain. RKZ was so great to stay home and take care of Buck and me. The boys actually had a nice few days while I popped Penicillan (spelling?) and my throat allowed me to swallow. It was quite boring to lay there and watch HGTV on the second day, so I was glad to be better by Friday. Hence, no posting.
Last night, I was able to go to see "Mamma Mia!" with some girlfriends (RkZ was happy that I went with them). I really liked it and enjoyed seeing a movie where I could just sing and laugh along. Not going to win any Oscars, but cute enough for a girl's night out.
The one thing I DID see that I HIGHLY recommend (if you read this today) is the CNN Documentary/commentary "Black in America." I started watching it because there is a good chance we'll have at least one Black child after all of the adoption business, so I wanted to be a bit more informed. Wow! Agree or disagree, they raise a lot of interesting statistics and questions in the piece. I really liked watching it. It made strep throat a lot easier and made me wonder if I should be doing more for the people of color/colour in my world. I'm sure that there could be similar pieces on "Hispanic in America" or "Asian in America." I'd love to see "white in America" but that's never going to happen. For all of that teasing, I did really like "Black in America." Particularly the part about the spread of AIDS in the black community. Something needs to be done. If you have a chance, DVR it and watch it when you have time. It's on tonight on CNN.
