The Great Weekend and After

[kybearfuzz]

Great weekends always fly by so quickly. After finishing work on Friday, I desperately needed some fun.

Saturday, I drove up to the outlet stores and had a bout of shopping therapy with jeepdude_70. I'd not seen him in a while, so it was good to hang out and catch up with him. While he swears I enable him in the shopping, I blew quite a bit of money on stuff I usually wouldn't thanks to him ($50 at Yankee Candle Company, for example). I did get some much needed clothes and a big candle with "Leather" scent. I got home, had to punch a hole in my butch card for repairing the lawn mower before mowing, and grab dinner. Overall, it was an awesome day.

Sunday, I had lunch with my buddy Dan at Mokka in Newport. Pancakes with orange creamsicle "fluff." Oh, SOOOO GOOOOOD! Dinner was a mac & cheese bar at Brian's (cincycub), which was inventive and incredibly tasty.

Monday, I settled back into my own office after working in the branch director's office most of July. After work, I worked out, cleaned house, and settled down on the couch for TV and drawing, letting the stresses just kind of melt away. TV was two hours of "Absoultely Fabulous" and a new episode of "RuPaul's Drag U," the latter having three of my favorite drag queen professors included -- Raja, Sharon Needles, and Pandora Boxx.

While watching TV, I worked on several pages of the next issue of "Grizzly & The Bear Patrol." Not to toot my own horn (if only I were so limber), but the two pages I drew last night were some of the best I've done in a while. I can't wait to put the color to them.

Overall, things are moving at a good click. It's nice getting back to the norm.

Double-header softball tonight. I've got a good feeling about it.

May your week be just as nice as your weekend! I look forward to seeing photos of the clothing purchases.

So far so good! And not sure I'll be taking specific photos of these new clothes, but you might see them as we move through the month :)

I always look forward to new issues of Grizzly & The Bear Patrol.

I can't stop thinking about Mac & Cheese now. Darn it.

It sounds like a good weekend. Good luck at the games tonight!

I've been dragging in getting this issue off the ground. The last month didn't help as I just couldn't concentrated. I may even have to redraw a page or two. However, last night, I was hitting my stride. I'll explain why when they're done.

And mac & cheese is sooooo gooooood. Especially with grilled chicken, bacon bits, diced jalapenos, and whatever that crumble stuff was. Brian throws a good dinner! :)

Freedom from neckties! Hope your week goes smoothly.

Thanks! I did buy a new tie over the weekend, so they're not completely gone, but I admit that it was nice to start the week off without having to pick one out. :)

I cannot go into a yankee candle shop. The smell makes me want to hurl. And I can't breathe!


Pandora Boxx is from Rochester. :-)

When we walked into Yankee Candle, the smell struck like a punch, but it gradually wears off thanks to olfactory fatigue. I couldn't stand it on a daily basis. I can't imagine how the sales ladies do it.

LOVE Pandora Boxx! Have you seen her in person??
