Live was so awesome AHHHHHHHHHHH

Really. Fantastic.
JR and I had an absolutely BALL drinking at Finnigan's then going to Festival Pier to see the show. Blues Traveler was incredible (+John Popper smoking a bowl on stage), Collective Soul was the fantastic rock star group, and Live was...well...LIVE. One hour, 45 minute long orgasm. Really truly great. Kind of wished they didn't close with Lightening Crashes...heard a rumor that they had been closing with White Discussion and that would have been saaaweeeet.
Saturday, JR and I tidied up the yard - he mowed the lawn, I weeded and let me tell you, an hour and half of work made quite the different. My friend came down from Jersey City for dinner and it was so much fun - three and a half bottles of wine later - we were hysterical on the couch! Such a nice time and so wonderful to catch up.
Sunday was super chill...started really nice...thought maybe I would lay out, JR was changing the oil on the cars so I grabbed a beach chair, put Seamus on the lead and hung out with him while listening to the new Disturbed album (Indestructible...quite kick ass...think I'll put it on again...already listened to it but hey, told you it was great). We're hanging out, and the sky to the west starts turning black. The sky in the east was this gorgeous blue/gold color. We start hearing faint rumblings, initially thinking it may be trucks or something - nope...THUNDER. I take Moo inside because if it began to downpour, there would be no way to avoid wet smelly dog in the house.
I go inside and check the weather station because JR said a huge system was coming - turn it on and there is literally one green speck over DELAWARE. I'm like...wtf? The radar shifts and this itty bitty green speck becomes a massive red/dark purple mass covering Philadelphia and south NJ. It howled all day - we lost power a few times but really just enjoyed each other's company while watching Lost and Shaun of the Dead. I <3 Sundays.

What a weekend.

JR was kind enough to take me out for that pint on Friday, and we had a really long, nice conversation about life in general. Saturday was AWESOME. JR had seen an advertisement in the town circular about a tour at the Fly Fish Brewery. It was free and included free samples. I swear, they wanted us to drink all afternoon. It was such a fun afternoon and we were able to bring Seamus (just for a visit, he couldn't go back where the distillers were.) It turns out, we live like 1 mile from the brewery, so we brought him home and came back for more beer and the tour. I had made waffles for breakfast, and my stomach had stayed settled, so we were able to enjoy the entire afternoon. We finished up around 3:30 p.m., and the tour guide mentioned an open house at a wine making place called The Wine Room. It turns out, that was right around the corner from Flying Fish, so off we went to try some tasty homemade local wine. Not only was there a huge selection to sample, there was a whole spread of food (which was good, because all I had had was ONE waffle followed by about three beers at Flying Fish). We sampled some wine, ate some cheese and tapenade, and off to home we went. It was such a nice afternoon, and my stomach was agreeable through the whole thing.
Sunday, not so much. I was probably paying for all of the decadence from Saturday. I didn't sleep well and after breakfast, I went back to bed until like 1:00 p.m. Then I got up and finished removing the wallpaper in the kitchen. We unpacked the china which opened up a ton of room in one of the closets and now I will be much more inclined to use it knowing it is easily accessible and clean.
Work sucks today. I have nothing fun to work on and again, running to the bathroom every 1/2 hour or so. LAME!
