Tuesday, Tuesday

Its raining and crappy out. Delightful. It feels like Monday due to the long weekend. And thankfully tomorrow is already Humpday...I love me some short weeks. Had a great MLK weekend. It was packed full of stuff to do...

Charlie was in town so picked him up on Friday night and went to Einstien's for dinner... thanks to Anthony we had a great ride for the weekend! The Audi was sweet. Since I now had access to the Audi, we decided to venture up to Bat Cave and see what all this Bat Girl talk was about. Woke up early on Saturday and got in the Audi for a drive to Asheville NC. A-Ville is a lot closer than I thought. It only took us 3 hours to get up there...I'll keep that in mind for a weekend get away. The only downfall was the cold, cold weather. In addition, the 50 mph wind gusts and the girl saying "Y'all aint from around these parts" set me a bit uneasy. But all was well and the snow added a great winter touch. So we left Asheville on our way to the "Cabin". 40 mins later and a scary stop at the local Ingles, in which I felt I was transported into "The Good Girl"..."we have fresh fried chicken in the deli...come 'git some chicken and have a hot dinner"... I just wish I could have seen her talking into the mic...so we finally climb the mountain and get to our cabin. The winds have picked up and have blown all of our furniture off the deck...there are no lights on...hum...finally we get into the house and we have no electricity. Great! So its 25 degrees and we have no power. We find some candles and light a fire...the next logical thing to do is just start drinking...things only get worse...our water is fed by an electric well...of course...so we have no water, no power and no food. The property manager brings us some pizza, but no power. Sunday morning comes around and still no power! Charlie and I leave to head back to Atlanta...we head to the Aquarium, which is crowded, but worth it, although strollers should be banned! Sunday night was laid back and Charlie headed home on Monday. Went to see King Kong on Monday Afternoon...that movie is too long. It's like watching Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones and King Kong all at once. Two bathroom breaks required...that's when you know a movie is too long.

All in all it was a good weekend. The only problem is what to do about Charlie...but that's a whole new post in itself...
