I scored some free tickets from work to see Norah Jones (aka drag Joel to see Norah Jones) at The Tabernacle. We were both glad to get out of the house for a date, since it's been all work for the last 4 weekends. First, we had to pick up some files at his old office and decided to grab dinner at a restaurant at Lenox Mall (since it's right across the street). It's only been 2 1/2 months since I started my new job in the suburbs, but driving back to Atlanta already seems like a trip to the "big city." We got to the show around 8:00 and found that our tickets get us VIP access to the "Bud Lounge." Free drinks, a nice view of the city and comfy couches were making the night much more appealing to Joel. Norah went on around 8:50 and she was amazing in concert. It was nice to enjoy a more relaxed concert in an intimate venue--much different from all of our prior concert experiences on the lawn at Walnut Creek. We also realized that we hadn't been to a concert in about 5 years...if that doesn't make you feel old I don't know what will. Here is a picture that I found online from the show (very cute dress!)
And then the weekend took a turn...
We got up with the sun on Saturday and took a trip to our favorite nursery. In about an hour... and with the help of the retired owner, who we asked for help not knowing who he was...we had picked out all the plants for the 2 front beds, ordered mulch and compost, and one beautiful japanese maple that Joel had to have. We scheduled the delivery and headed home to prepare the beds. What fun lay ahead! So for the next two days (intermingled with several trips to Home Depot, Lowes, Target & Linens N Things) we both worked diligently to try to get most of the work finished. Joel has taken the week off and has gotten a lot done already...but he's getting some help today to finish the planting and to spread the mulch. Hopefully when I get home tonight I can take the after pictures to post.
I still have some planning to do before the big Cinco de Mayo party, but I am really looking forward to a relaxing weekend and a fun time with friends!
