Adventures in Relaxation ...and other deviations...

*sigh* I love this weather. Got home and enjoyed working with a client with all my windows open! The cats are pleased to see me home....this means food! Such affectionate creatures they are when hungry. Isn't that the way with us all? After my client left I went to meet up with my friends at the Velvet Hookah in Addison. I haven't made it to the one in Deep Ellum yet. The music is what the draw was this time. Listen to a few DJ's spin and then listening to Janelle and Stan and talking while laying around on comfy pillows. We tried a new Hookah Flavor caleed "Caramel". THIS was awesome! I LOVE caramel anyway...so what better treat can I have? It is a sweet aroma and a slightly sweet taste in a mild tabacco. If you have never gone to the Velvet Hookah it is a treat to try it out. On the weekends they have a belley dancer also. She is really very good. I used to perform myself for several years. Now I always end up dancing that style because it is in my nature. I wanted to thank Janelle for inviting me to meet up and have such a wonderful night with friends. The DJ Jai was very good. I am not sure about the other DJ's name (first set) but I loved his ambient style. The light show was done by Rodney and it was very nice to watch while relaxing. I love to eat the Velvet Garden (sampler platter) and share with my friends. It isn't a pricey place at all. I will note that they have 1/2 Martini's on Wednesdays. I don't drink but my friends seem to enjoy the flavors a lot there. After I left I was driving home and thinking how peaceful I have been feeling. My daughter is getting married in October. The wedding is 4 weeks off and I am SO proud of all of the accomplishments Amanda has done in it. My son is progressing in his job with Gamestop. They have him traveling into Durant, OK to assist in a new store. His store is in Sherman, TX. Jason Recently moved into McKinney, TX. I am really proud of both my children. My neice, Chandra, is living in Frisco. I miss seeing her. She is to be Amanda's Maid of Honor. I adore her and am proud of her also. She is very independant and stong willed. The house was quiet cause Bob and Sharon had gone to bed already. Geez it is only 11:30 PM...huh...11:30 and I should be in bed. I laid awake for a bit and finally went to sleep around 1 am. I woke up thinking about how NOT to go to work but to just sleep.... Got up anyway and had to ask the roommates what day it was. Thursday....darn! It isn't the weekend yet? Made my way to the coffee pot and Bob serves up breakfast. Bob ALWAYS makes breakfast for us. God I am so pleased he and his girlfriend Sharon are my roomies. My other roomie is teaching in Korea right now. Marty is my bestest friend. So I managed to eat and get most of it into my mouth...not on my clothes. Got into work and started printing these HUGE files...the engineers are bummed cause I am using up the machine :) You know engineers...everything has to be available for THEIR use at any moment. Hmmm.... that reminds me of some other people, too. They are NOT engineers . Oh well... LOL My boss comes in at 9:30 AM and tells me to head home. I have to cover the night shift. The other office is affected by the hurricane Frances arrival. Guess I should have been more specific in my wish.... So now it is late and I need to work some. I'll check in with you all later on. Sleep well and peacefully my friends.
