Turns out the guy was a lawyer for some divorce case, and he was reassuring the husband that this whole SEX thing was great - he must've said it about 3 or 4 times, then went on about what pictures they have of her in the car, etc. At this point, I faced the guy and started glaring at him and coughing loudly, but he ignored me and his wife was just about crawling under the table. I had Dean blocked in where we were sitting, or he said he would've walked over and said something. What would you do in that situation? Okay, on to some pretty flowers from my yard:
I didn't know the pics were blurry until I uploaded them and saw them full-size, but the colors are still pretty.
I think I've got a career in art!
And now for the coolest shoes on the planet! They're Born's, by the way, but I couldn't find them on the website - Kika II is the name.
The top of them reminds me of Eddie Munster's hair, if you were a fan of that show...
I also feel a bit like an old-timey gangster wearing them.
Okay, off to finish a lecture....or maybe I'll work on a knitting project. What are YOU doing this weekend? (Yes, I'm talking directly to YOU, so leave me a comment.)

I am working on a little bit of house painting, a little knitting & I'm cutting out a dress for my 12 year old.
That's absolutely hilarious about the lawyer!
Hey Amy!! I had to go check out your Ravelry page for some more ideas for knitting projects - you are one prolific knitter! Have a great weekend.
I would've asked the restaurant manager/ waitress to handle that...lol
Cute shoes... I like to call them spats. You are on trend b/c I am seeing them a lot in New York.
Love the shoes! I used to have an all burgundy pair that I adored, but grew out of them after children. I'd love to find some again.
I'm sure I would not have been any more successful with shutting up a rude lawyer than you were. Years ago (1991) we celebrated our 1st anniversary with a (not) quite dinner at the Marina restaurant. The table next to us was a large group of people in their 40s and 50s (ancient at the time) cackling on and on about how crazy it is to have sex with someone that you don't even know. I was thinking that they would quiet down in a bit, but no. I hint to the waitress that they are loud. She just looks uncomfortable. This all goes on throughout dinner. Once we were at home I called back to the restaurant and talked to the manager. I told him that I was very uncomfortable there and that I was surprised that the management would not have done something to manage the roar of the table, and that I was sure that if the people making all the racket were of my friends ages that we would have been shut down pretty quickly. They guy was apologetic and then said that I was right, but he did not say anything since it was (local politician) Bay Haas and his friends. I've never been back.
That's it, Sheila, they look like I'm wearing spats! I can't believe they're selling something in Mobile that's on-trend in New York - we're making some progress! (Well, DSW is anyway.)
Becky - shut UP - that's hilarious - but ewwww! That reminded me about our flight home from Key West. There were 4 ladies in their 60's coming home from a bachelorette party all wearing little glittery hats and drinking non-stop. They were showing the (male) flight attendant pictures from the strip bars where they'd been, and one of them flung her legs up on the seat in front of her for a picture with him! He apologized to us about them, and finally told them they had to be quiet because there were children sitting right behind them. What is it with old people?!
Too funny! I guess that you just get to a point at a certain age that you just don't give a flip about what others think. I might just be closing in on that age myself.
I"m old but I don't usually talk about sex in public! I've never had that happen to me, but I have sat next to rowdy children and told them to sit down because their parents didn't. They were jumping up and down on the bench seat causing my seat to go up and down. I was having trouble coordinating my movements with my wine glass. And, I went to Aqua Zumba yesterday. That's all I've done.

LOL, Robbie, I can totally see you doing that! Hey, are y'all going to Betzina next weekend? Katrina's not, and I thought about it, but the fam's doing the Tough Mudder at the same time, so I'm not going either...
No, I'm not going. (You could probably tell since I didn't ask to stay at your house!) I already have a bazillion more projects on tap than anyone could finish in a lifetime. Congrats on the Tough Mudder! My-nephew-the-Marine has done/does that. Somewhere I have a photo of him and and the youngest DGD in Tough Mudder regalia making "tough" faces. Too dang cute. Be sure and give us a report!
Robbie
Will do - it's just Dean and Drew - Lucas and I don't handle ice-cold water and electrical shocks very well...
