Got plans this weekend? 2.22 – 2.24

Posted on February 20, 2008 by | Leave a comment

Hi, my name is Christina and I have a problem with books.

(Hi, Christina)

My particular problem is that I buy too many books, mainly for my son. Until I find a 12-step program, I’ll just have to keep hitting the thrift stores, used book stores and my favorite … library book sales. Give me some credit. I’ve at least figured out the cheapest ways to feed my addiction. This weekend you can find me pawing through the selection at the Emmet O’Neal Library in Mountain Brook. Last year I scored three first-edition Martha Stewart cookbooks and the campy “Let’s Make Rabbits” by Leo Lionni. The book sale is Friday and Saturday from 10-5 and Sunday from 1-4. Happy hunting.

Congratulations on surviving Valentine’s Day! Or did you screw up by buying a blender instead of some bling? It’s not too late to make it up to your sweetie. Love can still be in the air.

Tonight try your hand at painting. Jennifer Harwell Art is hosting a Valentine Paint Party complete with heavy hors d’oeuvres catered by Tria paired with a selection of Tria’s finest wines. Two hours (7-9 p.m.) equals two paintings to proudly hang on the walls at home. Call RIGHT NOW 802-7847 because the event sold out last year. Cost is $50 per person. The gallery is located in SoHo Square, Homewood.

Painting not your special someone’s idea of fun? Continue reading →

I didn’t get out to see many shows last weekend, what with watching my father run until his legs almost fell off. I did catch The Fiery Furnaces, who were everything I had hoped they would be. How was your weekend? I can’t hear you, you’re on the other side of the screen from me.

Got plans this weekend? 2.8 – 2.10

Posted on February 8, 2008 by | 1 comment

You may think you have plenty of time but all that red, white and pink at the stores says Valentine’s Day is just around the weekend. NOW is the time to be making reservations, ordering flowers and yes, buying that something special for your sweetie. Don’t be that guy or girl that begs as the doors are closing for a few minutes to frantically look at the picked-over card selection at the local Hallmark. I’ve seen that desperation and while we gladly let the registers ring well pass closing, I couldn’t help but think “wouldn’t you rather be home with the one you love instead of at a strip mall at 9?” A little planning NOW will get you home before dinner, and the shoulder that helped cook it, is cold.

Don’t worry if you didn’t get into the sold out Band of Horses show on Wednesday (like me), because there is plenty more where they came from , and a couple of other places too. I’ll stop blathering now and get to it.

Birmingham Bill

Here’s the man, or groundhog, of the weekend himself. Special to The Terminal.

Sure there’s a big-shot groundhog up north, but since when do we need a Yankee to tell us what the weather is like? I’ll rather hear there is six more weeks of winter or not from our own Birmingham Bill.

Got plans this weekend? 1.25 – 1.27

We’ve already told you about two chances to see presidential hopefuls Huckabee and Obama on Saturday and Sunday respectively. If it turns out you pick the right one to attend, you’ll be telling your grandkids you witnessed history being made. I personally don’t care who you are supporting. All I ask is that you do some research, pick the one you like and vote. No complaining allowed if you don’t vote. Your first chance is in the Alabama primary, Feb. 5.

Some suggestions after the jump…

Got plans this weekend? 1.18 – 1.20

Posted on January 18, 2008 by | Leave a comment

Oh my goodness! Did you hear the S-word on last night’s evening news? It’s causing quite a stir … and long lines at the grocery store. I’ve already got my milk, bread and beer so I’m ready for what I’m calling the “2008 Birmingham Snow Event.” The blogging folks at ABC 33/40 have a snow projection map. Let’s just say, I’ll believe it when I see snow angels. Since all the weather guys do act like the “2008 Birmingham Snow Event” is a sure thing Friday night late into Saturday afternoon give or take, you might want to check your pantries too and gather up the necessary supplies. My cold weather tip is to open your kitchen and bath cabinets (especially those on outside walls) to help the pipes stay warm. And if you let the faucets drip, put a cup or pitcher under to catch the water for any plants you have inside/outside. Despite any wet stuff falling from the sky, we’re still in a drought.

While I think the “2008 BSE” calls for hibernation under down comforters, some of you many want to leave the house the rest of the weekend and dance, dance, dance.
