Add to My List of Reasons I Love Madison...

The Farmer's Market. Steep and Brew coffee. Almond scones.
Went to the Farmer's Market with my friend Char. The weather totally cooperated. It was great. Only Madison can you have a Farmer's Market with a political play going on on the capital lawn and people applauding.
Since I live with a man who thinks corn is the only vegetable my purchases were plants and kettle corn. It was so cool watched them make it and got myself a huge bag. It is almost gone already! Of course I couldn't pass up the beautiful handmade crafts and got myself an original silk scarf. (Hand painted) It was a totally decadent purchase but what the heck.

It was a wonderful morning. However, I found myself to be wiped. Char on the other hand was on a mission. We journeyed down State St. to the bead store.
Spent too much money.

I love my city. It goes at a pace I can handle.

I came home and crashed and then decided to watch a movie.
I picked Hotel Rwanda.
Can someone please tell me how Don Cheadle did not get an Oscar for that movie?
Or why that movie got virtually overlooked at the award ceremonies?
Oh I know why because then it would point out how as a whole the entire world pretended like that terrible civil war didn't exist.
Again my Madison frame of mind coming in to play here.
What a great movie but lets just say any mascara I had on is long gone and my neighbors must think I am unstable.
'Cause I was balling...

I get to go the bratfest tomorrow and they have made it bigger and I am so excited.
Brats and pop for a buck and free music.
Lovely.
Ah Madison...
