Songbird and gumbo: the perfect antidote for a rough workday

[thatcrazycajun]

My sweet Songbird singing_phoenix  is staying with me through Saturday afternoon, after flying down from DC last weekend to drive to Tybee Island with me for a somewhat-rainy beach visit. And I have a big ol' pot of Zatarain's gumbo with chicken, andouille, bell pepper, onion and okra simmering on the stove while rice cooks in the microwave.

After a day when things just seemed to blow up in my face all over, this is just the ticket. And there should be plenty left over to bring by to anyone who wants a visit from SB while she's here (yes, kitanzi  and autographedcat , I'm looking at you... :-) ).

Thursday is really the only night we have free. We're going to see Eddie Izzard Wednesday night, and aiela is coming to town Friday.

I really hope Thursday is okay for you two...?

Thursday should be okay; I'll have to ask SB when she comes home.

Having not heard back on this, I'm assuming by now that tonight's not a good night for socializing - and I can't blame you, you guys get little enough time together as it is. :) Just give her a couple of hugs for us, ok?

Sorry for the delay, but I only got to ask her late last night and have been at work all day (no e-mail). We can come by tonight or you guys can come out to us, or we can all meet somewhere. Call my cell and let me know what is best for you.

Er.... having not heard back, we made other plans. *sigh* sorry...

I hate to see her punished for my tardiness in getting back to you. Would you consider bringing your houseguest out here tomorrow for us to make you all dinner? Or buy it somewhere nice?

Actually, I'd be happy to come to dinner - or meet you both somewhere, if you like, either way. I'm pretty sure Rob and Angie would just as soon have a private evening, anyhow. :) What kind of time frame are we talking?

[thatcrazycajun.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's *that* kind of houseguest, eh? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink...say no more. ;-) It would be sometime after 5 PM but before 8 most likely as Mary and I still hope to get in a screening of WALL*E before she leaves.

That works - I don't get out until 5 anyhow. Give me an address to plug into my GPS and I'll get to wherever as soon after that as traffic allows.

[thatcrazycajun.livejournal.com]

Send me an e-mail and I'll reply with the address.

[kitanzi.livejournal.com]

have done! I gave you a work email, since I can miss at least a little rush hour traffic if I head straight from work.

good for the body, good for the soul
It's a little like religion and a lot like sex!
You should never know when you're gonna get it next...
at midnight in the Quarter or noon in Thibodaux
I will play for gumbo....

Mmmmm, gumbo. I see you know the proper way to welcome home your beloved. :)

would you like to go to dinner Friday night?

I'm glad y'all've gotten some extra time together. Be sure to share some of the musical love.
