It’s Monday morning and my thoughts are scattered. Please forgive me any incoherence. 😉

I had a lovely weekend, but I have to start with Thursday. We met some friends of Rand’s for dinner at Taste of India. Now, those of you in WNY who frequent these establishments, please chime in on this…Taste of India on Sheridan and India Gate on Elmwood are owned and run by the same people. I’ve eaten at both, and can’t find any distinguishable difference between them. Rand and friends insist that Taste of India’s food is much better. Thoughts? Anyway, it was fantastic as always. I’d always been a fan of the curry, but Rand’s got me hooked on the Chicken Malai. Yummmm…and to think, if it hadn’t been for X, I wouldn’t even know I liked Indian food.

Also on Thursday, Doug (Rand’s friend) gave me an absolutely gorgeous painting, just because I said I liked it. 🙂 It’s a sunset over the ocean…exactly the sort of thing I like to paint.

Friday night, Rand surprised me by taking me to the AAUW’s annual used book sale. Mounds and mounds of books, with no mean crazy book lady to steal them all from me. Hehehe. I found a bunch of paperbacks, all of the “English teacher” persuasion. Good stuff.

We watched some more “Six Feet Under”–Rand bought the Season 3 DVDs. Hurrah! We’re about three episodes in. Lisa just quit her job with the insane woman.

On Saturday, Jen and I traveled to PA for Susan’s shower. On the way down, we listened to the Avenue Q and Spamalot soundtracks. I enjoyed both thoroughly and would love to see them. (I’d absolutely *love* to see Spamalot on Broadway with the original cast…somehow, I don’t think that’s going to happen.) The shower was, of course, very nice.

Sunday, Rand and I drove out to his parents’ house where we had a nice dinner and visit with his parents and brother and sister-in-law.

And last night, it was too disgustingly hot to sleep well. Ugh.

I have more to say, but I’m out of time for now. Hope everyone had a most excellent weekend!
