Behind The Times In Memphis!

Your's Truly has been a little negligent this week in her blogging.  Don't get me wrong, I've been out there doing and seeing Memphis....just haven't had the gumption to sit down at the end of the day and tell you about it.  I'll try to make amends!

I did have 1 fun excursion this week.  I met my new buddy Clare at a great little place right down Poplar Avenue, just a block or so from work, called Sharkey's Gulf Grill.  This was a dandy little establishment with a very lively 5:00 crowd of a good age mix.  Meaning....not a bunch of still wet-behind-the-ears kiddo's invading our space!  Clare and I proceeded to have a cocktail and shake off the Wednesday blues!

Now, I had arranged to meet Mr. West for dinner so this evening served 2 purposes....Girl's Night Out and Date Night.  Clare has a new puppy at home and had to scoot out early to tend to the pooch.  West and I had a very nice dinner indeed.  My selection was a shrimp & grit with andouille sausage creation.  TASTY....my my but it was tasty!  It had a nice creole sauce of some sort on top...and yes...I ate every last bit!  West went for his standard fried shrimp and french fries.  Not really a lot to say about that.

West and I do have a little adventure planned for this 3 day weekend.  We are going to get up tomorrow morning and head East to Nashville!  Now, this is where it all began for Your's Truly and West!  Yes, a very long time ago when YT lived in Nashville, she worked for BFI. West happened to work for BFI.  YT was going through a divorce and while she knew West from work, she actually couldn't STAND him...as he was running with a quite obnoxious group of fellow BFI'ers.  Long story short, we hooked up and now 21 years later...still going strong! 

 FYI....the BFI stands for Browning-Ferris Industries....not as some believe Big F'ing Idiots. 

So, we are heading to the Sheraton in downtown NashVegas and are going to see how much the Music City has changed since we were last there...and it's been a VERY long time!  We're hoping to get some good food, find some good music and have a really fun time!  I do plan to find a lovely spot for Sunday Brunch so I can keep that little tradition going.

Stay tuned cause you know I'm gonna keep you posted as soon as I return.  Now, everyone....enjoy this 3 day weekend if you are fortunate enough to have a 3 day weekend.  If not, just enjoy each day as best you can!!
