We had a bit of a break from the heat. It dipped to the mid 50s and there's been a little bit of rain. But today, it's 84 freakin' degrees!!! And all i want is for it to be a bit fallish, just a bit. We've been carving pumpkins and I just purchased some more for both carving and for pies and pumpkin empanandas!! Yum! I made a batch earlier this week, but with canned pumpkin. Wasn't so bad, but I'm looking forward to trying the real deal. Dear hubbie just returned from Chi-town. Yep, my old hood of Chicago. I was planning on venturing with him, but made the decision for several reasons for him to go off on his own. And I'm glad he went. He seems a bit more relaxed a bit more himself. Now, it's just my turn to go. By me lonesome. No child. So, we'll see. I'll probably not go to Chicago, but somewhere near by like Dallas and such. Not a big Dallas fan, however, I do have some dear friends still there and it would be nice to visit.
Tonight is the night to see Juana Molina. And i'm excited. This is her last stop before she ventures on her euro tour. So, I'm thankful. I've been feeling a bit down and out..I think alot of it has to do with the weather and a few circumstances beyond my control. I am looking forward to this evening, to be taken away by her beautiful voice. To get lost in the sounds that she so beautifully creates. And that already makes me a bit happier. I'll let you know how it goes. Maybe I'll even see you there. Happy Thursday!
Mmmm...come to Dallas, my friend...come to Dallas!
