Wow, we just blew threw a three day weekend! Be back in the salt mines tomorrow. Candy has had a cold this last week so we
pretty much hung around the house. We
did get out a few times to run errands. Saturday
a friend of mine met me at the shop at 8am and we wired in a new light switch
for the overhead lighting. Trying to
figure out what lighting I want to put in now.
Need to do some reading up on installing lights and electrical.
For dinner I baked two small chickens, one I did with a red
chili rub and the other with a package of Lipton onion soup mix. I also made deviled eggs, a green salad and
corn on the cob. On top of that I baked
4dz chocolate chip cookies. I Rock!
For the cookies, I followed the high altitude instructions. They came out great but could have been better
in appearance. If I had to guess, I
think I went wrong on not letting the butter soften enough or in the case not
at all. Still they turned out great, so
I have been eating too many cookies the last couple of days.
Sunday, Candy and I went over the HD to get some sheetrock
and plywood. I got 4 4x8 sheets of
each. Grabbed insulation and a new
sprinkler head, as the kid ran over one on Saturday when he mowed. We unloaded everything over at the shop and
headed over to the store. We picked up
what items we had on the list and then a few things.
I made cheese dip for dinner on Sunday. It was ok, but the sausage I used and the jalapeños
I added made it pretty hot. Actually a
little to hot! Candy made it through a
bowl and I managed to eat two. We kicked
back and watched a movie from Amazon.
We rented We Bought a Zoo. Talk
about a tear jerker, wow! Not what I was
expecting, this poor guy couldn’t get a break but he made it work. After that we rented Battleship and for an action movie we both thought it was pretty decent.
This morning I ran over to the shop to see what I could get
done. I managed to get two pieces of
sheetrock up and was ready to finish the insulation when I noticed I got the
un-faced and I needed faced. Well the
just pissed me off. I lifted one of the
4x8 sheets of plywood up on the studs to make the shelf. This is going to look pretty awesome if I
can get it done. Then I noticed it was already 12:30. I headed home and showered real quickly. We headed over to the Wild Ginger Thai Restaurant
in Manitou. The owner was having a baby
shower and had invited us. We got there
at 1:15pm and the parking lot was packed.
We parked on a side street and walked in the back. Guessing there was 75 to 100 people there
and they had a big spread of Thai dishes, cheeses and desserts. We sat in a booth with another family who
was kind enough to give up one side.
They had a two year old, he ran his own auto-shop, she kept the
books. Nice people, just getting
started.
For dinner this evening we grilled up hamburgers. I mixed in
chopped onions and mushrooms with the meat when I made the patties. Cut up a watermelon and heated up a can of
baked beans. Tasted great and we got
the teenager to join us as he was home.
Over the last week, I have told myself I am going to get off
my ass and go for a walk before work and or at least walk to work and
back. I haven’t done either. I did pretty good on my diet last week and
this weekend wasn’t terrible. I did
break down and have a Java Chip Frappuccino today. Damn those are tasty. So
anyway I have to make the time and get out.
I know I would feel better and probably have more energy. I have some new bands that I am listing to and
worked up a new playlist this evening. Tomorrow!
