If you want to know some details about this weekend, check out http://tinytinbird.blogspot.com or stupidmommy's blog. (See below for link; however, I want to clarify that I wasn't at the table when those shrieks of "35!" were exclaimed... c'mon now, I love the older crowd... they're so vintage.)
Some Points:
* Longshort longhorn: Lyssie and Tex are in town. I want them to move here.
* We hung out with Tex's friends (known on the great world wide web as stupidmommy and stupid daddy) for Alyssa's birthday last night and again tonight. They are smart and stylish and have some pretty fun kids who run around the house while making witty comments. If we ever have that block party and get an inflatable jumping castle, I'm totally going to invite them.
* When someone asked what we've been doing since they've arrived, I said, "hmm, Over Easy Cafe, Early Girl Cafe, Salsa, Bobo for drinks, 12 Bones for barbeque..." and now I can add Dirty Jack's bar onto the list. This person responded, "Sounds like you've been giving them the real Asheville treatment." We did go for a run today. They're going to hike tomorrow, but I can't be bothered with that walking... unless it's to a table for three.
* Did I mention that I want them to move here?
Tired now. Food=good.

Lyssie and Tex
My college roommate, Alyssa, and her beau, Tex, are coming to town tomorrow evening. Lyssie and I haven't seen each other in about 5 years, but we've been in close touch for the last couple of years; we bonded over break-ups and uncertain career paths. I am so excited.
It's been so long... I hope she recognizes me with my facial tattoos!
In preparation, I've been getting my work done today (and staring out the window).
To me, Lyssie is:
thoughtful
creative and talented
stubborn
funny (although she won't smile at her own jokes)
honest
assertive
Here's some more info:
It is her birthday on Sunday.
She's never been to Asheville.
I've never met Tex.
I still wear the same things I did in college.
She is very hip.
I used to pick fights with her, but I'm afraid that I don't have the same scrappy physique that I had in college... I guess that will top my to do list.
to do:
1. dust off the brass knuckles and do some push ups and sit-ups.
2. wash the sheets
3. buy tuna fish (in case tex is hungry)
4. throw away expired cereals and milk
5. get a map of asheville
6. wrap her birthday present and hide it well.
7. borrow towels from billy's house (you think i'm kidding... i asked if she and tex could bring their own pillows since i only have one. i assured her that we had towels, though...hmm, some beach towels in the basement, i think...)
8. see if bobo is open on sunday
9. get a haircut?
10. pierce my nose again? she missed it the first time around.
I hope it all goes well.
