Sorry about the glare in that picture I posted this morning. While at Atlanta Bread Co., I had my first ever bowl of French Onion Soup and I really liked it. I want to make it from scratch, so does anybody reading this have a good recipe for it? I'm dying to make my own.

Here we are having breakfast at Atlanta Bread Co. this morning.

I stopped in at Meiningers over at 5th and Broadway today to see if the carry a certain kind of pen that someone suggested I get. They don't, but I did see something I'd love to have: a Vincent Van Gogh action figure. It's the first produced by Fine Arts Action Figures™ and it was selling there for $24.99 + tax. I can get it on the site for $19.99 +$5 shipping. That would save me a bit. It's more of a realistic rendition. While surfing ebay to see if any one on there had one, I found another, more comical one. This Van Gogh figurine has two interchangeable heads (one has a bandage around his head depicting the ear whacking incident). What is wrong with me that I giggled at that one?

Marcus' friend Brad is coming for a visit in a couple of weeks. Since I've been sick, I've really let the house go to pot. I figured I'd tackle two birds with one stone and make a list of things I need to do combined with my TT list. It's not very exciting, but here are:

Thirteen Things I'm Doing The Next Two Weekends

1. Get packed away the rest of the Christmas stuff.
2. Tile the backsplash in the guest bathroom.
3. Clean carpets.
4. Find homes for the last of the storage stuff.
5. Do my taxes.
6. File my papers.
7. Clean the oven.
8. Watch and return the movie Nina lent me.
9. Tidy my craft room.
10. Start my Hogwarts scarf.
11. Dust.
12. Replace the multitude of dead light bulbs.
13. Work on new blog design.

Update: I'm going to strike through when I get something accomplished. Let's see how I do!

I signed up for "Weird Al" Yankovic's mailing list a while back. Today I got an email announcing his Straight Outta Lynwood tour. He'll be in Denver on August 31st at the City Lights Pavilion. I've seen him in concert before and I really enjoyed it. I hope I can get Marcus to go with me this time around. Maybe they'll sell White & Nerdy hoodies there and I'll finally be able to save enough money to get one.
