This photo is blurry because that is how I felt...

This stuff made me groggy and grouchy all day, and I still had a sinus headache. : /

This film was a lot of fun and a great way to end a day of feeling like pooh (sinus issues).
We've never seen anything like it...
Woody Allen delights me (as does this Polish poster). :)

A Rivermarket Saturday

April 10, 2010

We spent the day at the Rivermarket with Zach's parents. Even though Zach and I were both struggling with our sinuses, it was a lot of fun:
We had lunch at Flying Fish and wandered down the street. [The Arkansas Literary Festival was going on this week, so I saw some people from UCA.]We checked out the park. It has awesome playground design, but we got nervous watching those kids climb all over it! *lol*We ended with drinks at the Saucer. Our waitress must have lost one of my beer slips, or they neglected to scan one because my record only shows 49! So I had a fire sale Rolling Rock. It better reflect that now, or grrr...We found Zach some dress shoes for his interview. By this point, I was worn out, especially after my earrings kept getting caught in my scarf. So we decided to head home after stopping by to see my mama...where I finally got some new sunglasses there! [Mine were somehow destroyed in my purse.] I never buy expensive ones because I know that as soon as I do, they will be ruined while my cheap Walmart one's last and last. Zach says I look like a bug again. ; ) After dropping into K-mart and Whole Foods, we came home and sat on the couch all night. : )

My sinuses are killing me. :(
And Mucinex makes me feel like a balloon person. :(

"April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain."

I FINALLY know what this means: April is, indeed, "the cruellest month," and, no, those lilacs growing "out of the dead land" are not good. They. are. death. At least their reproductive organs are. To me. They seem to be all sweet and sunshiny and shouting, "Hey, I'm a symbol of rebirth and resurrection coming out of this 'dead land' to give you hope." Wrong. That's what those lilacs want you to think. Before they attack your nostrils.

I'm a "dull root" from all the sinus and allergy meds I have to take to breathe...and it's still difficult. And "the spring rain!" I thought it would save me! Wrong again. All it did was stir up those reproductive organs.

I have a "memory" of and "desire" for winter when I could breathe in peace and ease.

This poetry explication was brought to you by the letter "M" as in Mucinex, which is attempting to rid my body of the bogeyman that has taken up residence inside.
